Currently in the middle of transferring after two bad years at my college to pursue premed. This semester I’m going to work and next semester I will start again, Everyone is making me feel like I am wasting my time and that I am making a mistake. I am at a point right now where I am starting to doubt myself. I know transferring is hard, but I thought I would be okay.
Why is transferring such a bad thing? Why does it have such a bad rep? Why do I feel like such a failure for realizing that I no longer want to be in that school and that my interests have changed?
Why are you letting these people get to you? Is it because you are uncertain about the move yourself? Unless you have to rely on these people to pay for the rest of your education, ignore them.
Who is saying this stuff to you? The friends at the old college where things weren’t working well for you?
Ignore them.
The only people who might matter would be your parents if they are concerned that your choice of majors is a bad one and/or if they are concerned that your new college/university will be too expensive for you.
Lots of people transfer every single year. Almost all of them are very happy with that decision. Once you are in classes again you will feel much better about your decision to transfer. Hang in there!
