I like to hear of people 'doing things' so really enjoyed this thread Justinian I. I do think you giving up your studies is a big mistake though, and it sounds to me like your thinking of the short-term (adventure, love, sex, independence, getting away from your family). Unfortunately, I have found out the hard way, you have to put in hard work to get the rewards. So although leaving your studies may seem like fun with the above benefits, these are only short-term. Your going to get to the other side of the USA, have no study, no money, be bumming around with some girl you just met, living in her house, with no job. Having no job ain't romantic, its stressful, so your going to be forced into getting any job you can, just to survive and pay your way! And before you know it, you will b stuck in some dead end job and have no way out.
I hope you have looked at the long-term side of this. If she is the 'one' then you got many years to go off and live with her and do what you like. If you just want some adventure, fun and escape from your family, which is sounds more likely to be, then you just got one year left to graduate, then you can have all the fun and adventure you want.
So really, for the sake of one year of studying, is it really worth it? I can't tell you what is right and what is wrong, as you know the precise situation you are in, and you will know what is rght deep-down. Its also for you to make your own mistakes, not for others to decide. But you saying in your first post 'I am moving and there's nothing you can do or say to persuade me otherwise' tells me this is a hasty decision and hasty decisions are usually bad news!
My advise is do not sacrifice long-term gain for short-term gain. Because you will regret it! Put in the hours, do your year of study, graduate, then your a free man and can go anywhere and do anything and no one will try and persuade you otherwise! You can't go back in life, so if your going to make a decision like this, give it proper thought and consideration, 'nothing you can do or say to persuade me' tells me you haven't done this so far! Don't be scared to listen other other people's advise, and never rule out being persuaded, because that presumes you know more then anyone else, and no one can make that claim.
Good luck whatever you do and let us know your decision!
