I feel you. I'm currently in the state I am because I fell in love with a military dude and moved in with him. He left me. So that's fun. Now I'm stuck half way across the country from friends and family. It's cool though. Met some nice people. So yeah. I feel you to an extent, only I transferred instead of dropped out. Thank god for that.
