Transferring in Spring? Harder to adjust?

Transfer Students

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all having a good day. I posted my main concerns on another section of the forums but I think this issue fits better here. This is the gist of what is happening-

So I graduated community college almost two years ago now with a graphic design degree. Prior to graduating, I had job shadowed graphic designers and realized it is not at all what I want to do with my life. I ended up not transferring anywhere and decided to take a year off which is now about to become 2. Currently I am just living at home working an average job which has made me feel incredibly unproductive and unsuccessful with my life.

Honestly I still do not really know what to do. I have interests in cooking, baking, and have always liked the idea of owning /working in a vegan restaurant/ bakery. I would like to do graphic/ design art but more so as a personal business/ side job, so I was considering minoring in it. I think my plan may be to do something broad like communications. Although I have ONCE AGAIN missed deadlines to transfer because I am inadequate human being. So I think my best bet now is to transfer in spring. I really want to get in touch again with this career adviser but I was depressed and stopped communicating with her in October. Is too awkward to contact her back, especially since deadlines are up for fall? And what is your opinion of transferring to a school in spring? Will it be too hard to adjust/make friends? Especially since I will be 22 years old by the time i transfer? Am I too old to even bother? Thanks for any input it is greatly appreciated xx

Contact the career advisor.

The important thing is that you get your life moving again. Depending on where you end up studying, there could be a lot of transfers arriving second semester, and there could be plenty of students around your age. So find out a bit more about the places on your list. If you need on campus housing, ask where older students like you live. Sometimes they are housed in the same dorms with graduate students.

You’re never too old, but don’t wait till you are actually old! Set aside time to where you would like to transfer, what location, close or far away from home, and if you want to change your major, then get moving now and see a counselor of exactly what to take. I’m deciding between sdsu or staying another year at a cc and waiting to apply to better schools as a business major, so I feel kind of confused too, but the most important thing we can do is plan and then all our questions & confusion will disappear & we’ll have more confidence in our career.
