<p>Is anyone else anxious about receiving their transfer decisions because it will dictate whether or not they will see many of their friends ever again?</p>
<p>It's a strange dynamic. I don't know whether or not I'll be attending my current university next year. When I say goodbye to friends for the summer, I don't know whether it will be a "see you next year" or "goodbye forever" departure.</p>
<p>I know what you are talking about, it sucks, but such is life. Keep in touch as best you can. Good Luck.</p>
<p>Just say see you next year.</p>
<p>It depends, have you only been there for a year? or two?</p>
<p>I don't really count college friends as my "real" friends. How can anyone be good/best friends with people you've only known for a short span of time?</p>
<p>I mean, sure they can be nice people, but they won't take a bullet for you like your best bud since preschool.</p>
<p>Just tell them you'll miss them, but I doubt anyone really wants to spend plane/train/bus money to see "friends" you've only known for one year.</p>
<p>1) one year
2) I personally think that a year is enough time to make a good friendship. But perhaps I am wrong to even make a point out of the length of time. A good friendship does not necessarily rely on the amount of time it has existed for its goodness.</p>
<p>I am fine with not seeing friends again. The anxiety that surrounds the question of whether or not I'll see them again, however, troubles me. </p>
<p>I am anxious because transfer decisions have this sort of added suspense of determining whether or not you'll see your current friends for another three years or never again. The anxiety is exaggerated by awkward conversations with others that happen as the academic year comes to a close (which is now, for me.) For example, it's awkward when conversing about housing with whom you are planning to house with next year if you return. It just is.</p>
<p>I guess my point, generally, is that there is an eerie and pervasive uncertainty that accompanies awaiting for transfer decisions that could go either way.</p>
<p>I know what you mean. I'll leave NYC and my friends here, and I won't know if I'll see either in a really long time (or ever), or in just 3 months. It's ok though, I didn't become super attached to either... but maybe that was because I knew the whole time that this would be the situation I'd be in. Perhaps I've lost out...</p>
