City or Country

[FreakyOCR]

I lived in the country for most of my life, and loved it. The only problem was that I had no friends because I lived so far away from my school. Most people lived by the school. I didn't have any neighborhood friends because there was none to be had. Well, I was friends with this one girl.

Okay I had a few friends, but we didn't do much. That's not the point.

I now live in a residential section of a city. It's not downtown by any means but there is a lot of traffic. I live it here because I am close to everything, except if I have to cross the bridge. The bridge is a big bottleneck and all my friends (that still remain) and family live on the "other" side.

I am here for school, but am pondering whether to stay or not. I am making friends here in college, but they, too, are from all over. Some even come from Bellingham, WA, and it takes them about 4 hours to get to school. If the border is bad then they miss class.

Ok enough with the friends. I live in a "rich old people" neighborhood. (I live with my grandma...) I am the only one with cable in this neighborhood so it is fast....(sort of)

I loved the country. I had 5 acres, a tractor, outdoor pool, forest, a pond fields, etc. I really liked it.

I now live with an indoor pool, my two cats, and the entire basement to myself. The backyard is smaller than the basement, however.

I hate traffic, but can live with it. I like the city because of my close proximity to computer places, shopping centers, gym etc. Most are 5-10 mins away.

I hate being far away from everything (30+ mins), but love the naturesque side of living in the country.

So what do you think? City or Country? I want to be a web designer, and working for somebody I would WANT to live on the city side of the bridge. (Rush hour goes to the city side, then back at night.) But I love the country.

City=Convenience
Country=Nice

Your choice?

I say live in the city and visit the country

[jadison]

I agree w/Dudster...Most of the resources a city has to offer-I need. But, for peace of mind, I visit the country as often as possible!

I say live in a cardboard box if you have to, but finish school. The country will be there later.

That's a good idea. Get the best of both worlds...

This IS an old thread. I had just started my web degree at school. a few months down the road the dot-com crash, then i switch to a digital video degree! lol

Now almost a year after that, I have my own Video Company and am back in the country! To stay! I liked the city, but I LOVE the country so much more...

So peaceful. Yeah frickin' far away but I'm used to driving now. Got 25,000km's on my 8 month old truck! Yikes!
