The Positives and Negatives of Nebraska

Due to recent events, I have been giving a lot of thought to moving back to Nebraska. There are many, many reasons why, although it will be extremely bittersweet if it happens. So without further ado, here are my list of pros and cons of Nebraska.

PROS:
1. RUNZA! For those that don't know what this is, the best way I can sum it up is delicious. 
2. Sarah, Jessie, Jen, Mallory, etc. Life is just no fun if you don't have your best friends to experience things with.
3. Family. Family has never really been that important to me, but it is nice to be close to them.
4. Carson's. Refer to #1.
5. Bearcat football! I don't even like football, but I like my alma mater and we do have the best division 2 team out there.
6. The ability to save money. Since I would be living with my dad, I would be able to save a lot of money by not having to pay rent, or electric, or cable, etc.
7. New car! For real, this is actually in my near future if I get a job and it would actually be a car that I want. 
8. Possibly continuing school. A Masters degree is on my bucket list. Moving back to Nebraska would allow me to pursue this.

CONS:
1. It takes forever to drive anywhere. I left Indiana on Thursday and came back on Sunday and in that time probably put almost 2,500 miles on my car. I'm sorry, Bonnie.
2. Spiders, bugs, and mice. My dad's house has a lot of all of these things.
3. Sulfur in the water. Seriously, Panama, NE has issues.
4. Beta Alpha. Chances are, I would have to leave my advising position with these wonderful women, but there is also a pro that I could become an advisor with Alpha Epsilon or possibly even Theta Alpha.
5. Tennis. Yes, there is tennis in Nebraska, but not near on the scale that it is in Indy. Beside, my team is highly entertaining.

I'm sure that I am missing points from both the pro and con list. Obviously the pros slightly outweigh the cons. Hopefully I will have more news related to this post in the very near future.
