This would be very "GPOY" worthy if such a situation would happen to me.

I apologize for the quality of the screencaps - I was streaming 私が恋愛できない理由(The Reason I Can't Find My Love) and didn't expect to go so "Print Screen" happy, or else I would have downloaded the episodes instead. I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but I did. It was a very casual, but very meaningful drama. I kind of want to watch another one, but midterms are next week, so I had better spare myself the misery and wait a little bit.

My dad is really intent on moving back to New Jersey. I'm not that keen on the idea, for multiple reasons, but the topmost being that I like where I'm living currently and because I'd rather just wait one more year and graduate with my friends. Not with a bunch of strangers that I won't care for. For some reason or another, I associate New Jersey with some of the lowest points in my life. Although living there couldn't have been all of that bad, I remember being very alone in terms of friends because of my quiet personality (the current, more livelier personality(at least, I think) only developed here, with the lovely people that I met here). I also fought a lot with my sister while I was there. There probably isn't much correlation between New Jersey and my unhappiness, but I don't like the idea of going back there. It's like pushing the self-destruct on everything that I've worked hard to build.

That being said, I know that I'll have to move on eventually, unless I decide to continue to go to school where I live now. It's fine with me if my family moves to NJ after I graduate high school, because my choice of college isn't (and really has never been) dependent (although taken into consideration) on where my family is currently living. For example, the school that I've been looking at isn't exactly very close to the place where we are living now. It's still in the East Coast though, where I'd like to stay.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to be prematurely separated from my friends and from my home. Because although I was born in NJ, I consider where I'm living now to be my home state, my current small suburban town to be my "hometown". It's where I've spent the formative years of my childhood, and I think it's aided greatly in the development of my personality and character.
