<p>I have lived in Boca Raton, Florida for 21 years. I am a 23 year old male with a decently good group of friends. I have come to a point in my life where i am stagnant in my progress in life. I have been going to the community college down the street from my home for 5 years. I have just messed around and well after 5 years i am 1 class away from getting my AA degree and having a 3.2 GPA. I have finally buckled down in school and realize that it is my future. I am contemplating moving away to Boulder, Colorado to attend the University. I am just gonna be honest. I am scared of leaving. I am scared of failure. I am scared of wasting my money on failing. I have never been a strong student before but i understand that i will have to change when it comes to my study habits. What i am asking you all pretty much is. Is it a good idea for me to try and break away and start my own life? I feel like i am going no where in this town. I still live with my father but the 40,000 i have inherited will help me greatly plus i will have a little support from my parents and grandmother. How can i be making a mistake if i am moving off to better myself? Please if you have any advice for me moveing away let me know. PS. the job i have right now i love it to death but i work at a surf shop and well i cant do that for the rest of my life if i want to be successful right? Also regarding tuition purposes. I have already talked to boulder and they have a special program that will allow me to take 1 class per semester until i get residency. So i plan on getting a job and a couple roommates and living life in Colorado for a little while. Whats the worst that could happen? i waste a bunch of money exploring my options in life? I mean that sounds bad but i feel like it could make me grow into a much better person. Like i said i have 40k cash and i also have support from my parents and grandmother so what do i have to lose? my job and friends? i am scared of failure that is my biggest fear.</p>
<p>Don’t be afraid to fail because it will only make you stronger. And if you are still afraid of going that far, why not go to a State U in FL instead because it will still give you the chance to be independent and will cost a whole lot less so you can put some of that 40k in ur savings.</p>
<p>If you’re easily distracted don’t do boulder, it’s a bit of a party school. But do leave, it’s a wonderful experience, and will help you grow as a person</p>
