Resolved Question: Move out of state and gain independance, or stay home and be miserable?

I have a big decision to make right now.I currently attend Central Connecticut State University and completely hate it. I don’t have any movtivation to go to class, I cannot see a reason for being in school (whatever career I want needs to involve dogs, and I am having a hard time finding a local degree that involves dogs). But what is even worse is the weather. I was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida and have an extremely low tolerance for cold weather, even after living here for nine (almost ten) years.Last night, I proposed to my parents that I move out. I am nineteen years old and have never lived on my own before, but the cold here is unbearable and gives me constant anxiety. When it is summer, I cannot enjoy it, because I am thinking of winter. When it is winter, I just want it to be summer.I have a friend who is willing to move with me. She would like to go to college as well, but hasn’t had the opportunity in her life. She has, however, lived in Florida, Connecticut, and Arizona. She really would like to move back to Arizona.I have never been to Arizona, and am considering going with her, but I also feel a pull to my more familier states: Georgia. My parents are not supportive at all. This morning, I overheard my dad talking to my mom, telling her I was going to amount to nothing and end up with a drug addict under a bridge. This kind of negativitey doesn’t exactly make me want to stay here.Am I making an awful decision? Yes, I could save money and go to college here, but I wouldn’t be happy. I feel like there is nothing for me here. Right now, I’m looking at vet schools, or a dog training degree…anything that will let me get more involved with animals.
