major decision


Question Posted Wednesday July 30 2008, 3:04 pm

ok soo im thinking about transferring schools this year and i just found out i have like only a week to make my final decision!! im completely stressed and im so scared im gonna make the wrong choice. the reason im thinking of switching is because this year was definately not what i thought it was going to be. everyone but up this reputation of my school and i found it a little dissapointing.(i was even a little skeptical about going to this school in the first place, but in the end i guess i thought it was the best choice) i mean i know your not supposed to love school, but you should enjoy it, right? well i did not. when i woke up in the morning there wasnt anything to look forward to when i went to school and i was so stressed during the year. (theres more reasons too but then it would take forever for me to write this and im sure you guys dont want to read that ahah) soo i just would like some advice and tips on decision making seeing how i hate making decisions since im always afraid ill make the wrong one. and this is such a big decision its making it even harder on me! thanks so much!

I would advise you to make a pro-con list. Think about areas such as sports, clubs, academic programs, school ranking, location (distance from home), and other areas of importance to you.

It sounds like you weren't sure if it was the right place for you from the start. So, if you went into the school with that mindset, do you think there's a chance that it affected your quality of happiness there? That happens with me. If I tell myself "this class is going to suck!" usually, it will suck.

Also think about friends. If you have a solid group of friends at your current school, make sure you're ready to leave them and make a totally new group of friends. Friends can play a large role in your school life.

If you were stressed because of a heavy course load, a good solution would be to just lighten it for the next year. Instead of that extra advanced course, why not just take a basic level one?

In the end it is your decision. Only you know what is best for you. But like I said, I'm a big fan of pro-con lists. They're a great tool to help you prioritize! Best of luck.
