<p>For a few months I was incredibly depressed about leaving home, but I’ve gotten over it. In fact, I want to go somewhere like UCLA. Idiotically I didn’t apply there because I thought I knew everything last fall. I do not think that is the issue now though. </p>
<p>I’ve talked to some friends, and they do think I’m not the right type of person for UCSC. I’m a bit straight edge, and very anti-drug use. I would have loved to have gone to Berkeley, but I was rejected :O. So I’d either transfer there or to LA. Or maybe I’d even resume my love for astrophysics and go to UCSC after two years. </p>
<p>So you think I’m not being stupid about this? It wouldn’t be foolish to start at a CC?</p>
