<p>I just got back from USC orientation and the only thing I have been doing right now is crying… I even went to one of the bathrooms at usc crying… Its not am disappointed or anything, but i miss ucsb, i dont know why i left it… i miss my friends and a guy i met there… I have feelings for him and he was sad seeing me leaving… i miss him soo much. I miss the beach and the campus… it was like heaven and i left everything…i dont know why… I wish i can go back to ucsb… whats gonna happen with me?? I feel so depressed …
I dont know why…</p>
<p>Why did you even leave in the first place? There must have been a good reason. Didn’t you factor all this when you chose to leave?</p>
<p>you don’t just leave for no reason? Is that reason not as important as you earlier believed it was?</p>
<p>Wow you are the first person I have followed through your process. I remember one of your posts where everyone including some man at the admissions office or whatever it’s called at ucsb, who screamed at you, and asked you why you were leaving ucsb. </p>
<p>Haneen, it’s only been orientation so far. You have months to actually experience the school, you’ll meet other guys, you’ll make new friends. Join a soririty, get involved, that should take your mind off of missing UCSB. When someone is depressed the best way to get rid of it, is by constantly keeping busy, so that you don’t have time to think about the past/memories.</p>
<p>Thanks liek0806,
I liked it when i visited previouslty, but today when i was walking ,suddenly i remembered everything at ucsb, i never felt like that before… I wish i was in a dream and i would just wake up again finding myself at ucsb, I miss this guy alot, I dont think anyone will make me happy the way he did. I miss everything at ucsb, i dont know why… my family are soo mad at me , especially my brother, he thinks am being spoiled and he thinks i am just playing around with universities like a joke… I was happy there, i dont know why i did what i did… i dont know whats waiting for me out there… I</p>
<p>School gonna start next mon
Just relax, and get involved when school starts to make new friends.
Feel free asking me any questons, I am an USC student (I bet you know that)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>He has a point there. You cried at UCSB and chose to leave in hopes that you’d find a better academic setting and now you cry at the orientation and regret leaving? No offense, but grow up a little.</p>
<p>***??? get yourself together, take a breather. you know, i had the same feelings when i transfered. until i met new people. trust me you will meet a lot. pretend like you never even went to ucsb, and that you are starting out as a freshman.</p>
<p>I agree with afterhours. Im sorry to say your brother might be right.</p>
<p>i don’t understand why you left UCSB in the first place? maybe if you told us… it would be easier to give you some advice. and don’t cry… it’s going to be ok. i know this guy that started at ohio university then transfered to the university of kentucky. he said he hated it there so much… so the next semester he transfered back up to OU. don’t worry about it, you can always transfer back to UCSB… just give it a semester, make sure your grades are good, and transfer back if USC wasn’t what you thought it would be. anyways good luck, i hope everything will turn out ok! =)</p>
<p>
Well, not exactly. The UC system only admits students as frosh or juniors. So you have exactly one time when you can xfer back, and the UC schools are also required by law to give priority to community college students. So if you want to come back into a popular major and they’ve given most of the slots to CC students, it can be quite difficult to get back in.</p>
<p>hey thank people ,
I was so emotional yest … i dont know why!!! I will be fine… its just i miss my friends alot… even if i had the chance to return to ucsb, my parents will grap me back home and will never make me go to college anymore… its not a joke or anything… i only have 2 years to finish and i will be done… It will be different … but maybe ill get over it when school starts … I was actually lucky to get into the engineering at usc, since i was admitted as a math major…</p>
<p>It does seem strange that a few days ago you were sooo glad to leave UCSB, but you are going through a hard process. You were on campus when NO one was there. Everyone is still on break. You can’t get a feel for USC with no students around. School’s going to start on Monday, and you will get into a rhythm and settle in. You will meet people (don’t just wait for them to come to you, get involved and meet your neighbors as well) and have homework and activities to do, and you will love it in no time. We may not have the beach next door, but we have tons of things in LA to explore all around.</p>
<p>not to mention the atmosphere will be frickin’ awesome with USC just winning an NCAA title.</p>
<p>Very true, MrHappyFace! Fight On!</p>
<p>Haneen, IT’s normal to feel uncomfortable at first. Remember, there is NO perfect school ANYWHERE. Every place is going to have its ups and downs - you have made your choice and you had your reasons for doing so. It may help to remember the reasons you left UCSB. Don’t look backwards, look forward.</p>
<p>Haneen, I have been thinking about you all evening, so I went back and did a search of your posts here in the past. Here is what you had to say about USC and UCSB IN YOUR OWN WORDS:</p>
<p>"I love usc and it was really a dream for me to graduate from there but i guess i was not fortunate enough. </p>
<p>I am soo confused… I cant believe I have 24 hrs left to make such a huge desicion. I liked usc when i visited … i dont know why. .everything is perfect at ucsb but theres a huge thing missing here… I dont feel i have a motivation to work, I heard being a usc alumni will help me alot in the future. Ucsb is soo laid back and i feel everything goes here so slowly… Everything ppl do here is partying …honestly… ucsb is perfect but not for me… </p>
<p>I actually have another 2 major reason why i need to transfer , the first is for family matters ( id rather not discuss ) and the other reason is that as an international student , usc will help me more. </p>
<p>I am not happy at ucsb , i dont feel its the place i wanted to go to. I am sure there are alot of ppl who would critisize me on this. I am not looking for prestige , i just wanna feel that the hard work i did payed off, but it seems not. i am not trying to say that ucsb is not good enough for me. Its great, but my parents are paying the same money for my brother who went to Emory, </p>
<p>I feel i made the wrong desicion (coming to UCSB) that i will regret for the rest of life. .
I want to transfer from UCSB, its getting too expensive for me!!! "</p>
<p>So, let go of the past. You were NOT happy at UCSB. Don’t romanticize it now that you have left. You have made your choice - go forward with confidence instead of holding regrets. That is really the only way you will find happiness at ANY school as well as in LIFE. (And if that guy at UCSB really likes you, it’s not far to come visit you at USC!)</p>
<p>Carolyn is right. Look to the future. Like the song says, “Always look ooon the briiiight side of life.” USC is a bigger name, and has a nice campus, and probably a lot of great people. You’ll be happy there if you want to be.</p>
<p>lol, cheeeeer up</p>
<p>life goes on</p>
<p>one day your gonna be sad that you will have to leave USC</p>
