<p>Why is it that no matter how much i try, I cant help but think i made the wrong college choice, even though logically it was the best fit for me? I went to another college that was my intial first choice, however on campus i felt like i stuck out (being a minority) among the homogenous italiani/irish. Everything in my gut was telling me that this was not the school for me, and decided to go to a local college so I could study better and possibly transfer. Now I have major stress about the school im currently attending, that I have made the wrong choice. What gives? Anybody else feel this way sometimes? Watching my cousins and family go to Top 50 schools really hurts me...in a sense that I have not achieved such success as them and deemed a "failure". I cant help but feel this way sometimes. Now I am really going to have to kick my *** to get into such a school..but its really hard to get motivated...any positive solutions are greatly appreciated...</p>
<p>life has conflicts--you learn to make the best of it.</p>
<p>Making your final choice based on logic can lead you where your gut doesn't want to be. Logic is good for narrowing your choices, but the final choice is best made with the gut.</p>
<p>Keep the morale up...this isn't a football game with a game clock. You can take your time, make the right choices, and proceed at your own pace. Make sure you visit and hang out at a school before you enroll there. And don't expect any place to be great at first. Every school I've gone to and every job I've had was horrible for the first week or two.</p>
<p>Ummm...suck it up, get a good GPA and transfer. My brother HATED his first choice, but now 3 yrs later its a distant memory and in fact he's glad he went there because it thinks it got him into his current school.</p>
<p>It's called buyer' remorse. You can't win whatever you decide, so you try to suck it down and move on. You may get this syndrome later in life as you have to make stressful decisions especially when your feelings are ambivalent. Sometimes the choices are not about what is the best for you, but what is not the worst for you. When things are not clear, it is easy to get into the "woulda, shoulda, coulda" mode. It would be a great achievement to be able to understand this ,and learn to accept a past decision as a done deal without hindsight speculations, so that you can focus on the many more decisions you will be facing in life.</p>
