<p>santa cruz was never my first choice (i was rejected by all the other UCs i applied to since i messed up in high school because of family issues, personal issues, mental illness etc), and i was forced to go there by my parents since they were too proud and pretentious to let me go to a community college (i honestly don't see the problem with that at all though).</p>
<p>i was already set on transferring to ucsd even before starting my fall quarter at ucsc and it was always my first choice. being here only heightened my depression and mood swings and i've even considered dropping out because i'm so miserable here, and that's saying a lot since being at home is the last place i want to be. please don't try to convince me to stay in santa cruz, it's too toxic for my mental health.</p>
<p>right now, i'm stressing over my transfer plan. like what classes should i take, if the prereqs for ucsc's psych major and ucsd's psych major are the same? i've talked to my academic advisor but she was very.. condescending to say the least and wasn't helpful at all. it was if she was looking down on me for wanting to transfer. i've researched about intercampus transfers but i'm still very confused.. i'm concerned mostly about my gpa at this point since i've been skipping out on my classes because of depression issues but i'm hoping that my life will turn itself around and my grades will improve, even though i have no clue what they are right now. as of now, i just need help with which classes i should take this quarter and such..</p>
