Transferring & Starting Over

<p>So recently, I've been telling my friends that nothing is set in stone regarding my transfer status. But the truth is, it is set in stone. And it's hard to even admit it to myself because I love these people. My first year of college was a nightmare. I was thousands of miles away and hated college. So now, my second year, everything's changed. And It's hard to leave these people behind and start all over again thousands of miles away again! UGH. It's bittersweet. On the one hand I'm transferring into a program I absolutely LOVE. But at the same time I'm leaving people I LOVE but my major isn't here....</p>

<p>Transferring: everything wrapped into one.</p>

<p>Anyone else dealing with transfer bitter-sweetness?</p>

<p>exactly the same feelings…</p>

<p>Not the be whiny you know. It’s just I’m sure everyone knows that it’s really hard to find people that you really mesh with. I’m just worried I may not find that at UCLA. But I don’t know…</p>

<p>Are you honestly thinking that you wont find anyone you like at UCLA? Im positive you will find people you like and who like you. It’s ok to worry about the process of finding new friends, but dont worry about not finding anyone you like.
You can find the same people everywhere. Its just about creating memories after that!</p>

<p>Enjoy!!</p>

<p>keep an open heart and open mind and youll find that the most real people will start to appear.</p>

<p>ive met some of the best people at my local cc… i cant wait to transfer and meet more.
be optimistic, you’ll live longer haha :D</p>

You guys are so right. I guess I was just having a temporary moment of fear. It’s a big step for me. I feel awkward moving back to Cali …idk though. I am really excited to meet new people no matter where i go! =]</p>

<p>I’ve been feeling this, but not about leaving the actual school. I’m going to be a junior next year, and I’ve pretty much been waiting for this since I was a senior in high school. Yeah, I was that kid.
But I definitely feel the friend part, as my group of friends is pretty tight-knit, and I haven’t told them yet… How have you guys done/are going to do that?</p>
