Basically the title. I go to a small college in the midwest with my gf and both run on the XC/track teams. She is one year ahead of me, so next year will be her 4th year, and my 3rd year. Credit-wise, I would be able to graduate at the same time with her, but I could also stay on for a 4th year of running if I wanted to. I have a small scholarship, but I'd still be taking on about $10,000 of debt to stay my final year.
We've both talked about getting married after we graduate, and both think I should graduate early, and just get married the summer we graduate. But the athlete in me is thinking about staying to run. What should I do? The married life sounds really nice. Is it worth talking to my coach about it? I wonder if I could convince my coach into increasing my scholarship.
