Brittany don't let lazy people tell you something is to hard. I got two bachelors at the same time. You can do it.

WOW Brittany this is a lot to be thinking about. I agree with others, do not make any quick decisions. Think about this long and hard. I also think that you should talk to your parents, they should not make the decision for you, but you should at least get their advice, their thoughts.

It seems to me that you have a lot going for you Brittany, and this could do many things. It could make you even stronger, and give you even more for you to achieve the things you want out of life. But it could also change things, and change your life time goals in the process....its hard to predict how this will turn out.

Is this a life time experience you want to have? Are you willing to have your life changed if thats the way it works out?

Think about this long and hard before you make any drastic decisions!

Wayne,
Yeah you’re right. Right whenever school starts after break I’m going to go find some sort of counselor that I can sit down and talk to about what I need to do to try to accomplish two majors while graduating still in only 2 to 3 years. Hopefully I won’t have to take another chemistry class for the biology major =[
Yeah I got cha. Blake tells me the whole things, but then again he only knows about the Navy stuff, he doesn’t know that I’m thinking about moving back to Missouri, too scared to hear his reaction.

Todd,
Yeah I know, shame on me lol. Really? What were you’re two majors?

Mike,
Ha I know right, its crazy. Yeah and see that’s the scary thing right there, I’m so scared that whatever path I choose my whole life goals and what not will all change and I won’t know what to do ya know. Yeah I think it would be an amazing experience to go into the Navy, especially if I got to travel around through the marine biology stuff, but there are some things that I don’t want to give up that I’ll probably have to if I go into the Navy (race car, pet snake that I’ve had for 9 years and counting), it gets rough when I think about that. And I’m trying to be as smart as possible on this decision, which is one reason why I asked you guys.

You need time and perspective. Step away from the decision for awhile.

Also have you found yourself wanting to get back to florida or drawn to being home. Be aware of these feelings as you spend time at home. Thats what helped me decide when I was ready to move back.

Most importantly.

Please enjoy yourself and quit worrying. You have plenty of time to make the decision. Have a great week.

Why would you be running out of time? The Navy is not going anywhere. There is no way you should make the decision right away. I would wait until summer. I know the feeling of wanting to get back. That was always my clue I was not ready to move back home.
