so did i
I would have chosen that school if they hadn’t rejected me. I’m glad they did.
oh god….so did i, it hasn’t been the worst thing of my life but still tough
i plan on trasferring but really…it’s what you make of it….
I knew I wanted to go to one college and choose another instead for money reasons. It was THE worst decision of my life. I regret it every day and will forever because I’m not strong enough to fix it.
so did i. i picked a cheaper school and i hate it. but, idk if any college would be better, really.. they are all pretty much the same concept
I thought the same thing all of first semester, some of second semester, and every now and again along the way. I think the first step is to accept the decision you made and the fact that you can’t turn back time. Go out there, be yourself, take classes that interest you, and get involved with the things you like. You never know, a few years from now you may look back on this secret, laugh, and realize how helpful and perfect your choice was for you on your road of life. Hang in there, it will get better.
I chose the wrong school too. I’m going to try and make friends next semester and if i can’t, I’m going to transfer.
I picked the wrong school, I always knew that. It wasn’t until I was a senior and within a semester of graduating did I realize I picked the wrong major, too.
The school I wanted rejected me and I ended up in the right school. Maybe you can transfer?
so did i. i changed. i wasn’t that big a deal…
so did i
it was probably one of the biggest mistakes i’ve ever made
Me too. I chose a school that gave me no scholarships, I started in the wrong major, and now my GPA will make me border-line unemployable, even though I’m doing great in my new major. I probably would’ve done amazingly at a slightly less prestigious school that offered me MORE than a full ride….
Hasn’t anyone else noticed that the picture is Purdue’s Bell Tower?
it’s actually ball state university’s bell tower
that is one of my biggest fears
can you transfer? I can relate I went to a school that is now on the verge of bankruptcy, screwed me over with my majors and advising and wasted 5.5 years and a ton of money. And now because of their “accredidation issues” I can’t find a job anywhere (doesn’t help with the economy). if you can get out of there before it gets worse!
I’ll never know if I made the right choice. sometimes I think I chose wrong…. sometimes I think I chose right. As long as I ignore a huge part of myself, the happy life i left behind, and where I want to be (vs. where i am) geographically, I’m okay. I love my work.
I can’t transfer, i’m a phd student and it would ruin my career.
but when I was an undergraduate, i concluded i was wrong, applied to transfer & was accepted into a different school. i declined later because i had found my niche and fallen in love with the first school.
it takes time. i try to remind myself every day.
I know what you mean, I think you’re talking about a decent school but I went to a bad secondary school and my life would be so different if I’d had good teachers back then, luckily for me I did well still
I never, ever regret not going to a private school though
I know if I had I’d be one of those ignorant, stuck up bitches that really disgust me, and would never have grown up
not everyone who goes to them is like that but far, far too many are
they don’t know what it’s like when it’s not all about them
just remember however bad it is you’re in charge of your own life, you don’t need qualifications to make it in the world and while people will make it difficult for you there’s always a way to overcome it
if you are in fact in a really good school and you’re not a brat you’ve got good character and deserve to do well in life
Ditto. Thing is I turned down a nearly full tuition scholarship to a private university. I’m transferring there now, but it’s too late for the scholarship
fuck you dude
If I had known how intelligent I am when I was in high school, I would have dropped out and started doing tons of independent studying. I wouldn’t have wasted all those years listening to less-than-mediocre teachers and professors, I would have learned factual history, and I wouldn’t have wished I was dead for so many years…at least not over the way I was treated by my peers. The vast majority of the people in my high school were bullies, including the teachers and other faculty. Even the special-ed professionals were bullies, and they didn’t know their jobs at all. Everybody says everything is different when you get to college, but it’s not true. The students were still bullies, and a lot of those teachers, etc., were bullies, too. What a joke. You would get a better education by digging around in a junkyard.
I did too. That place tore me apart and destroyed my life. It will take me years to get over what it did to me. I’m scared that I’ll never recover and be who I used to be. My mom tells me that I used to always be happy. I can’t remember the last time I was happy, and I’ve been out of there for 2 years.
Unfortunately, we never get to go back to who we were before. ECT treatments can usually only erase recent memories. Even after we are resurrected, we will still have all our cumulative memories…
