<p>I just got accepted to Johns Hopkins University as an undergrad transfer student. I'm currently a student at UC Santa Cruz which I love so I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not I should leave it. I applied to transfer because my course of study, creative writing, has become so impacted here. If I stay I'll continue doing well with little effort, if I go school will become pretty much my whole life. But there are more reasons for me to stay than keeping up my GPA; I love living here, I have lots of great friends and a great job and it's absolutely gorgeous every day. Santa Cruz can sometimes feel small though and living somewhere new could be great. Help! I need advice!</p>
