It's been a bit since someone last asked. So I'll ask again for some fresh insights and new advice.

Here's some context. I'm from Utah (USA), and just graduated from University. The job market here for my degree is abysmal. I've had opportunities on the East Coast of the US, but ultimately rejected them for two reasons 1) the cost to move and 2) simply being intimidated to leave my home state. But I'm fortunate enough have another job opportunity. I realize I can't keep squandering these opportunities and am in need of some guidance. That said, how do you prepare to move to another state/region? I'm looking for advice for really all aspects of moving across the country, but primarily the emotional aspect of it. Thanks.

I've had really great academic opportunities taken from me. Including a leadership council position with a national organization and some professional stuff. I did talk with one of those people over the ombuds, and they basically told me if I made a title 9 complaint it would kill my chances of getting a job in Utah.

Like I'm proud to be a student, and proud to be an aviation student. I'm just disheartened that a university with the moto "a place for you" keeps stonewalling me. Anybody else in the same boat?

A few days ago I drove my friend from Reykjavík Iceland to Diamond Beach (3 hours that day with another 2 hours back to our room). We decided to do a night hike nearby. I initially objected because it was dark (kind of), icy, and snowy, but he really wanted to go so I agreed not to be a buzzkill.

During the hike he went off-trail twice without telling me, he kept pushing ahead despite me struggling to keep up, and yelled for me to follow. I have bad balance, not great hiking shoes, and a little bit of night blindness all things he knew and that I reminded him about multiple times through the years. Hence me struggling to keep up. When I finally reached the peak, he immediately wanted to turn around. I told him "we" will go down slowly for my safety. But on the way down he started running far ahead, leaving me behind on the dark, windy, icy trail. I got lost for a bit on one of the off trail parts he had taken. Eventually I spotted him waiting at the bottom. He didn’t say anything when I reached the car. Later I found out he was mad at me for “going too slow.”

Like I said I did tell him the issues before the hike and he did know them beforehand. But I'm an adult, AITA for being upset and ignoring him on the drive back?
