<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

**Some background:** My family moved from Michigan in 2007 leaving all of our family there. I am 19 female and just finished my freshman year at UW in Seattle. I love it here. I have a job paying about $12 an hour, walking distance from home (I live with my parents). I do not have a car. I have a good group of friends here. I have little savings at the moment.

My parents want to move back because my grandmother is getting old. All of our family lives in Michigan. My dad wants to be close to her and it seems he will get a job there pretty easily. 

So my dad wants me to move back with them as well as my brother who is 17. If I move back my dad says he will pay for college for me there. The job situation in Michigan is much worse I will be getting around $8.50 an hour for the same job I have currently. 

Either way, I am pretty well broke as well as my parents. If I stay I will have to get an apartment which I have a few options. Saving money will be much more difficult living on my own making college harder to pay for. I think I will do community for a year and then go back to UW for the last two years taking out some loans.

If I go back to Michigan I plan to go to a community college and transfer to University of Michigan for the last two years. I might not get in though and it is scary to think moving back could be such a big mistake. It is about the same cost as UW. I will have a worse job and I will probably still be living on my own there because I will want to be fairly close to college.

My mind is pretty mixed up right now I don't know what to do. I want my dad to be happy, I want to keep my friends and job, and I want to be successful in college. 

Thoughts? Ideas? What would you do? Sorry this post is kind of all over the place! Words of encouragement are greatly appreciated! As well as your stories as to what you did!
<bot>: I feel like I have a lot of things going for me in Seattle (job, college, friends) and my parents want me to suddenly move back to Michigan to be with their parents. Not sure what to do.
