wanted somebody you know not to go to a school you wanted to go to.
I have a friend who’s like this. I got into UCLA and we went to check out the school awhile back and she kept telling me that oh, I don’t like this school. And said hopefully I won’t go there next year. It’s so weird; I don’t understand. I started to get the sense that she felt that if she couldn’t go there, she doesn’t want me to go there either. Has any of you felt this from a friend? It makes me feel awful because she isn’t really happy for me and that she is trying to give me clues not to go there. Iono, I just had to vent.
<p>It's just weird for me. I want to go to college to get away from the people I knew, as much as I love them. I have a terrible time trying new things and expanding my horizons when I am constantly anchored to my past.</p>
<p>It's nothing personal, though, at least it wasn't for me. </p>
<p>Your friend sounds like she wants you to go where she goes, which would be the opposite of my situation. Either that, or she's a <em>really</em> good friend, and has a sense about things, so that if she feels she doesn't like it, she can't imagine how you would.</p>
<p>^^ i think you got the situation around. She really likes the school and that's why she keeps saying "hopefully you wont go there" because she keeps reminding me that I won't like it. Iono, it really bothered me because I thought she really supported me no matter where I went but I get the feeling she has the mentality that "if I don't get it, I don't the other person to get it"...or at least people she knows.</p>
<p>I've had the situation where people I don't like apply to like three of the same schools I do. But in the end it really doesn't matter where these people go because you're going to meet so many new people anyway.
Maybe your friend is just jealous that you got into UCLA.</p>
