<p>After 3 years, I managed to obtain my associate degree from my community college at my own pace, and now i'm planning on attending a University this coming fall semester. It's a bit nerve wrecking however, because through out most of community college I was incredibly indecisive about what I wanted to major in, so I took a variety of everything to help me decide what I liked. I ended up deciding on engineering when I graduated, but I can't help but feel horrible because I racked up about 15k in student loans already. I killed off most of the pre-requisite classes ( pre cal and trig and ENC 1101 and 1102, intro chem, since i took no AP courses in high school) and now I'm ready to take engineering calc, physics and all the classes for the freshman year of an engineering major. This, like I said, makes me worry, since it will take a possible 4 more years till I graduate, and while I have pell grant and bright futures scholarship, I will also have to take up a little more in student loan, and I also will be getting a part time job to also pay for the bills, so that makes me reconsider even taking the standard 15 credits for the sake of overloading myself and dropping my GPA. </p>
<p>Is my situation ab-normal for most transfer students? Or am I just being way to over-reactive ?</p>
