<p>I’m currently finishing my 2nd year at UNCC and I am transferring to UNCW in the fall. I was originally going to apply for the spring 2014 semester, and take fall 2013 off, but I realized it’s super hard to get in in the spring and didn’t think I’d be able to get in, and then I’d have to wait a whole year while not being in school to apply again. I was worried if I waited a year I wouldn’t want to go back, so I hurried and applied for the fall of 2013 and decided not to take the semester off. (it was about two weeks ago that I decided this and applied)</p>
<p>So I found out today I got into UNCW. And I’m supposed to be happy about it, and I am a little bit, but at the same time I feel like crying. I’m extremely anxious about being somewhere new. I hate big changes. I won’t know anybody. I only have a few friends here, but at least I’m comfortable, you know? (I wanted to transfer b/c I just don’t like the school-something just isn’t right here, and also UNCW has film studies which is what i think want to major in) </p>
<p>So now I’m wondering if my rushed decision to apply for the fall was the right decision? I think I was actually looking forward to moving back home and starting therapy (i have issues with social anxiety) and just working on myself for a while and taking a break from school. But I also want to finish school asap and I want to meet new people and learn about film. And I don’t want to disappoint my parents by going through all the trouble to apply so quickly and then changing my mind. My parents know about my S.A. and how I’m scared to start at a new place, but they don’t know the true extent of it. I wanted to tell them on the phone tonight, but I knew I would start crying if I did. </p>
<p>UNCW does have a “defer your enrollment for one year” thing, but I’m not sure if that’s just for freshman students or if anyone can do that. But there’s still the fear that I won’t want to go back to school after a year, and my anxiety will probably just continue to build up if I wait a year. I just don’t know what to do, I’m completely at a loss here. Any advice?</p>
