| you guys are all ridiculous. im doing what makes me happy. screw ucla, overrated bull*****.
Going to UCLA isn't going to help me in the long run anyways. All it is, is a name brand sticker for my applications, thats it. Eventually, no one cares whether you went to a CC, UCLA or Harvard. It's who gets the job done.
I'm going to go wherever I can get my Bachelors and be with someone I love.
You all may have different opinions then me, but what someone should be doing is doing what makes them happy. | |

| sistahgurlsBF,
Seems reasonable enough. Just make sure you don't make a decision that you may regret for whatever reason and stick to it. Overrated is overrated, but don't put it out of the realm of possibility because of a 4 hour distance. That's easy to overcome.
On the other hand, don't go there JUST for the prestige. You obviously have other good options. Go where you want, and just weigh all the options. You'll do fine. | |

| UCLAri I like coke, doesnt mean i havent tried pepsi, I like sex doesnt meant I havent tried head, I like the zoo doesnt mean I havent tried sea world.
point is i like/love my girlfriend too, but doesnt mean i dont like seeing girls at the strip club,
the fairy tale ends eventually and you start fighting and its when you are apart with other people you find that you can fall in love with anyone.
most people fall in love 3 or 4 times in their life, and thats only cuz they die.
so chill other people naked is a great and wonderful thing. | |

| LSDguy,
I've been in a relationship now for 9 years. I think I know a fair amount about how it works. While I've never dated anyone else or had the desire to do so, I've spent four years apart from my fiancée (distances ranging from 4 hours to 17 hours). I may or may not be indicative of the mean individual, but I do believe that it is possible to be monogamous and happy. Perhaps I'm missing out on something that others have, but I also find that I'm fairly well-adjusted and satisfied with my love life.
But trust me, I know the "fairy tale" ends. It ends the moment you move in together and start paying rent. It ends when you start looking at your first mortgage. It's a fragile concept that I know about all too well. | |

| UCLAri: As one who has experienced seeing my share of women naked -- not at strip clubs or on film -- I would tell you that what you've got is much better than the average person who lurches from bed to bed or one half-baked relationship to another. It's great that you embrace it. | |

| Hi sistahgurl (and company),
That is so cute! You guys are going to SD together?
I've been wanting to comment on this thread for a while... because your guys' situation was what I was fearing, and what I expected to be in. I now can because I was officially rejected from UCLA yesterday.
(Let me join you guys and say, screw UCLA! I'm very happy with UCSD!!)
The only difference is that he didn't apply to UCSD at all, so we are not given that additional option (going to SD instead of LA) that you guys have.
I want to thank UCLAri for his advice. It gives me hope during times when I am feeling discouraged that we will work it out despite the small distance factor. | |

| Wishfulone: Hey! Yea, my bf decided that SD is a right fit for him (great CS program, best friends, and of course having each other). I'm sorry to hear you got rejected by UCLA, too...yea I was hoping to get in, to have a couple options, but I'm really satisfied with going to SD. I think honestly, that it is a very good fit for me! Did your bf get into UCLA? Is he going? Best of luck to both of you guys! :-) Btw, what major are you pursuing at SD? | |

| Sistahgurl--
I actually had all the answers to your last post in my original reply but I had erased them all when I realized you weren't going to be in my same situation, haha! (It's awesome you're going to stay with your boyfriend at SD. You're so lucky. I'm so jealous!)
I'm a Psych major like you! Woo!
And yeah, he's going to LA. He only applied to LA and Cal and he was denied from the latter.
I'm also very excited about SD!! | |
