First and foremost, which parent do you like better? Stick with who ever is best or play them against each other so they will buy you whatever you want. But anyway, I've lived up north and down south, and if you don't know what the south is like, your in for a shock. I've been to Myrtle Beach a ton of times, used to live near there. If your single, there are plenty of hotties there (it's the friggin beach man.) It is kinda dirty though. Your best bet is to visit first, stay if you like it. Massachusetts pretty much sucks anyway. But then again, your 18, move out on your own.
