I Don't Think I Want to Leave for College Anymore...

Hi, I recently completed my AA from a local state college and now it’s time to transfer. Class starts on the 22nd (school is about 2 and a half - 3 hours away), I signed a lease (haven’t paid anything yet). I thought I wanted to go off for the “college experience.” I wanted to “spread my wings” but I’m not so sure anymore. Like, I really, really love my family and I am gonna miss them so much.

Also, the money. I feel like staying and going to a university nearby would be so much better because of all the money I’d save. I wouldn’t have to worry about funds.

I just don’t know what to do at this point. Like can i even turn back? I’m supposed to move in tomorrow. I’m just dreading it. Any advice and suggestions would help a great deal.

Ok, honestly almost everyone is having some sort of cold feet/ nervousness and is dreading moving to a new place, living away from home with new people etc. I would move in and at least go for a semester. If after the semester is over you still feel the same way then maybe reassess things.

I don’t think I’m nervous really…I just don’t want to go anymore. There are flashes, like extremely small moments where I’m excited by forcing myself to be excited…but thank you. You’re probably right lol
