Thinking of transferring schools next semester.. I just don't really fit in here. Yahh it's nice and all but it just doesn't feel right. I miss my parents, I miss my pets, I miss my little brother, the school I'd be transferring to actually HAS the degree I want, not just the concentration. There's more opportunity for me there I feel. Question is, how do I bring this up to my parents?
I transferred schools after 1 semester, so don't ever feel like you're alone. i was literally miserable. like cried everyday. had no friends. no car so i couldn't even visit home or my friends at their schools. it was awful. and i'm a rather social person, it was just like there were cliques and i didn't fit into any of them. i'm normally a straight A student and my grades were falling, it was terrible. Add in that my mom started getting extremely sick during this time and i later found out she was hospitalized but didn't want to tell me because she knew i'd breakdown.. ugh. i felt like a failure telling my parents that i wanted to come home. my parents were awesome about it after i let them know what was going on. i transferred to a school semi-close to home. applied in october and did a campus tour while home for thanksgiving break. moved out when everyone was going home for christmas.
i still have an occasional as$hole family member mention how i couldn't even make it away from home and i'm a baby. cut the umbilical cord blah blah blah. it hurts a little, but ya know what? i'm happy. i made the right decision for me, graduated with honors, and made some pretty awesome friends along the way. you'll be fine. do what you need to do for you. F everyone else
