OK.... I don't understand what's happening, but recently, I can't make decisions. I used to have no problem making them, I was a "whatever" kind of person.... but now, its hard!

Like for instance, I live in South Jersey. Recently, I made the decision that I want to move now that I am graduating. I decided that since I grew up in Hillsborough, but am going to be working in the central jersey area, off the parkway, I would move halfway... south plainfield. This would put me about 20 minutes from my friends growing up, and 20 minutes from work.... and not TOO far from South Jersey if I wanted to go visit my friends down there.

So I thought I hade made my decision.

Then I read reports that the air quality in South Plainfield is horrible, the worst in NJ. And then, I spent yesterday and today in Tom's River, which is about 30 minutes SOUTH of where I'll be working, and about 40 minutes NORTH of where I live now. I've been having a crap load of fun here, so now of course, I'm like ... maybe I should move here? Then, I think .... well, if I move to South Plainfield like I wanted to originally, I'll be 20 minutes from my parents, 20 minutes from my friends that I grew up with, 20 minutes from work, and about 30 minutes from Toms' River... so the best of both worlds.

So now I don't know what to do, and why I can't make decisions. I think its because I've been so BORED in south Jersey that I want to make sure I move to a place I am happy with so I don't have to go through what I went through the past few years again.

So should I just move to South Plainfield, which is where I was originally planning on moving to all along, for a year, get settled, save up some money, and see where I spend most of my time? And then ater a year, I can re-evaluate where I want to move to? Or should I do something else, like put all the places I want to move (Toms River, South Plainfield, maybe Bridgewater which is closer to my parents) in a hat and pick one at random? I just don't know, these decisions are so hard....

good advice would help.

The fufillment, enjoyment, and downright impact of your life is many times determined by the risks that you do and do not take.

So what would everyone else do? Just take a risk? My instinct is to move to South Plainfield, becaues its in the middle of everything and would give me a year to figure out where I want to go.

I make a table by 3 x 3 on a piece of paper . At leas it islarge enough to wrote down possible decisions for myself and set up a blindfold. Used my right index finger, and twirl my arm around in the air and after counting 10 secs. I let my finger fall onto to one of the 9 boxes filled with decisions. That's how I decide stuff...


jk :D

Good idea thanks! :p I made my decision by realizing the fact that there are negatives to every choice :) I just sucked up the fact that I'll have lung cancer 10 years from now :(
