Firstly, thank you so much for your kind words. I did get off the waitlist for UW and wanted to accept, but ultimately didn’t because my parents thought it was too late because by that time it was already late July. By their words, class registration and housing would be a struggle and they wanted me to stress any further. My dad lived and worked in Washington state, so it wasn’t for financial reasons. My current school is UNC-Chapel Hill, and I was still unsure of what I was going to major in (the major system at UW was also very stressful, and I didn’t want to go through that), so I ultimately decided to give it a chance and commit in-state at UNC. I’ve talked to my parents about my feelings and transferring, and they support me. I guess I still hold some unnecessary resentment towards them because they told me they’d support me regardless of which school I would choose, but forced me to commit to UNC at the end. I understand their reasonings, but even after months have passed, I can’t help but regret my decision. Thanks for your kind words. I’ll continue trying my best spring semester while working on transfer apps. I hope things will look up for me.
