<p>Last year I started college in new york city as a dance major. Though I love dance and have been dancing all my life I quickly realized I wanted to major in an academic field, specifically a field that was not offered at the mostly arts college. To improve my chances of getting into a new school for the fall of my sophomore year, I transferred to a local college near my house and lived at home for the spring of my freshman year. I successfully transferred to a great school with a great program and I have been here for 2 months and am just unhappy. I fit in well here and like the school and the people, I have a decent amount of friends, and mostly enjoy my classes but I just constantly find myself unhappy. When I was home in the spring I had an internship doing something I loved while I attended my classes and now that all I do is go to class, do hw and waste a ton of time, I feel like I am not fulfilled. I also really miss my boyfriend and family and just count down the days untill I can see them. I know going to college is about gaining independence and finding myself, but I feel like I've already done that and like I would just be happier at home. i also cant justify spending all most $60k a year to constantly feel unhappy. In a sense I feel like transferring back home signifies failure to the world but I know I would be so much happier. The own downside would be that the college at home is not as good as a school as I currently attend. Anyway, I considered spending the year here to give it time but the thought of that just depresses me so much. I find myself crying almost every day because I feel so unfilled and bored and just want to come home for good at the end of the semester. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and help me with something that I just have no idea what to do.</p>
