I live in a fairly rural area of the UK where's there's virtually nothing to do and few people my age. I go to a uni that's in a grey city with little culture. Most of the students seem very business-like and alternate exclusively between getting drunk and studying. I haven't been able to connect to anyone here and have no friends (I had plenty at school...). The people I get along with aren't my type and I secretly don't like them much.
I constantly think of how the grass is greener elsewhere. How I could be living a more interesting life with people my age. In particular I usually think about Canada and the US Pacific Northwest as places that look interesting (strong youth culture, good balance between nature and city, cities not too big, etc.). I often think of how more interesting the people will be there.
I know I'm probably kidding myself and, even if by some means (I have no idea how) I was able to move there, I would probably have the same problems. But there is a part of me that wants to believe and wants to do something about it.
Is is worth it? Or does the grass just look greener?

how much money do you have to spend? educaiton in america is fucking expensive.
If you are kind of extroverted, which you sound like from having lot's of friends, maybe learning a new language and living abroad might lift you up. Try the northern countries, denmark, sweden, latvia. Or the eastern europeans, where there is still a conservative culture.
Germany has lot's of job offers aswell and is quite good with english aswell.

Thanks! I have virtually no money, I would like to finish my degree in the UK (which is the financially best option now). Although maybe I could do an MA abroad.
I think about Scandinavia a lot too - they sound sort of cool, although I don't know as much about the people and culture.
I must say I'm not extroverted - I'm pretty introverted. I was just able to get lucky in school.

Are you in Aberdeen? Grey city sounds familiar
If you are... I'm coming there in 4 months so maybe we can do drugs together

I moved to Japan from the UK myself, it was the right decision
I alternate exclusively between being a weeb and working/studying

As Burroughs said:
"Leap, and the net will appear."
Often it's the prompting of our hearts that guides us right. And if it turns out you "regret it", you have one hell of a story to tell and you're wiser because of it.

Sadly not, Southampton.

Hmm interesting. I always liked Japan but I don't know enough about the culture or language. But fair play to you. What's better and what's worse?

Good attitude. I've been too cautious with life up until now. And I have my parents of things get terrible- at least to live with.

Anyone have any experience moving to the US/Canada like this? Especially a deadbeat like me with no real planned career path and a degree in history.
