Wondering "what if"?

College Life
1

<p>I’ve pretty much made up my mind on where I want to go to college. I spent weeks debating between college A and college B, and I finally picked A. </p>

<p>The only thing is that I keep wondering “in 4 years from now, will I be wondering what would’ve happened if I picked college B?”
To make matters worse, most of my close friends are going to College B, and I know that’s not a good reason to pick a college so I didn’t want to let that influence my decision. But it almost makes me second-guess my choice when I hear all my friends laughing about all the good times they will have together at college B.</p>

<p>But is it normal to think “what if”? I know that if I go to college B, I will have much bigger regrets about not going to college A (since college A has always been my dream school) than the other way around.</p>

<p>Of course it’s normal to wonder. And you’ll have the same thoughts when it comes time to choose between Job Offer A and Job Offer B, buying House A or House B, maybe even choosing names for your kids. All you can do its make an informed decision based on research, logic and your gut feelings. I always resort to the old-school pros and cons list when I have to make a big decision. Seems to work for me. Choose for the right reasons and you’ll do fine.</p>
