My friend is nuts!

Alright so I’ll make this short.

I might be losing a friend. She’s my only legit friend I have, and she might be transferring next year. Why? Because of her stupid bf. She followed her bf to the same college, and she plans on following him out.

Both my friend and her bf are engineer majors and first years. He is currently far behind, as he dropped and failed some classes last quarter, and now is on academic probation. He rarely studies, plays video games all the time, and despite being having my friend nag at him, he doesn’t seem to care.

My friend has a low gpa (she’s barely in good academic standing, probably because of her bf). They both have full-rides, but are at a HUGE risk of losing them (must have at least a 2.5 to keep them!)

So yesterday, my friend and I were talking. She mentions that she might transfer because her bf wants to leave the school and become a mechanic. She also says that she doesn’t like how the teachers teach (she complained about how the math teachers have a strict certain way of teaching…well duh!), and she has been having problems with her inconsiderate roommate and other residents in her dormitory.

I have a feeling that she is making excuses and that no matter how good her situation is, she’ll leave for her bf. I told her repeatedly to leave the quad dorm room (as I did, I was her roommate), and to change her major (as she wants to). I also said that next year, she didn’t have to room in the same dorm room, that she could switch.

I keep trying to convince that next year will be better, that she just had a rough start. I also want to convince her that following her bf around is a bad idea (but I haven’t stated it yet). Am I wrong for thinking that my friend has lost her mind? Is there any way I convince her that following her bf around is a bad idea? Or am I being selfish?
