Well at least we have her blessing, lol, but I agree, it's depressing.
Also, don't be so afraid of the non-super-metropolitain areas. It doesn't have to be NYC or Boston to be a city, and I was super happy in Wilmington despite it's complete lack of being a city and despite my snobbery at the time. I was thinking about how depressing it is that I was so much more a "grown-up" in every way while I was at college than I am now. I was so much more self-sufficient, I had responsibilities, I grocery shopped and drove the dog to the vet, on time no less, for christ's sake. I miss feeling like I have an actual life that I need to stick to, instead of an optional one that I can hide from every now and then, it's just... pathetic. I lived on another continent, you know? By myself, and I could barely talk to anyone, but I figured it out. Now I can't get to the mall without my mom driving me there. Sigh.
