Did I do the right thing and what do you think?

Okay...I was supposed to be a freshman at a university. After staying and moving in my dorm room, I realized it wasnt for me so I withdrew on the first day of class which was today. I was horrible those days that I was there and I wasnt eating or...

sleeping or anything. I was tired because the campus is huge and my building had no elevator and I was on the third floor and come to think about it none of the building had elevators. I think. going to that type of school wasnt for me b/c I am not a real people person unless I am comfortable and I was so uncomfortable and out of place there and I felt like it wasnt for me b/c I wanted to be near home and I only went there to make my bff happy even tho I wasnt. my bff was there with her boyfriend and they spent time together and they dont associate with people and I was like the third wheel. I would call home crying and my sister was helping me get thru it all. My mom wanted me to stay but then she wanted me home so I could be happy and let me tell you, I was extremely depressed to the point of ending it all. Anyway...I want to do what I wanted to do in the first place now and that is doing online college at devry for business. Did I do the right thing by making myself happy and doing what I want to do and will my bff be mad at me b/c I left her? tell me what you think about it all please. I need to feel a bit better about things. Oh yeah...I am back at home after two horrible days.

Yeah...I'm her sister...I'm cool like that! haha!

Well hopefully you went with your gut. What is your name? You look really familiar like we have met.

well it sounded like you were miserable and I think that you did do the right thing because you deserve to be happy and because who would want to stay at a place that you weren't happy at? and if your friend really cares about you then she shouldn't be mad but understand why you chose to leave and also if she's a real friend then she'll support you no matter what

hope this helped a little and good luck!

1 day - sounds like you didn't give it a fair chance.

As far as you and your friend , it was right to go with what makes you happy.
As far as school, you did not really give it a chance. You were only gone for two days.
You are going to have to get use to not living at home, and if you give in any time you are scared and run back home you will not be able to do that. I understand how it is scary to be in a new place and have to defend for youself. It would have gotten easier with time though. A lot of people go through the same thing when they first go off to college. It's human response. As far as the elevator and such - that is a common thing. My dorm in college didn't have an elevator. I don't actually know a dorm that has one.

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
        And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
        And also, too, to help you to know,
        That in knowing you, many others grow!

 
I don't disagree with your choice of quitting while it's still early. I do disagree with your choice of Devry unless you ONLY want to take a business course. I believe that Devry is not an accredited school, so your "credits" cannot transfer if you want to go to a regular college later.

in my opinion, I get the impression that you may not be really ready for college or even an unstructured environment away from home. Therefore,

I'd like to suggest that you consider joining the Air Force. It would give you a structured, and protected, environment while giving you health benefits. It would also give you college benefits after your tour of service was completed and also allow you to take some courses while you were in the service.

Serving in the Air Force might also let you see a little of the world while helping you decide what you really want to do in life.

I hope you do not take offense,
To that that's gone before;
'Tis only that it's my two-cents,
And not one penny more. §;o)

personally me, I think you made the best choice, I know how you felt, I was in a spanish class, and I didnt know anybody and just the classroom itself made me feel really awkward inside, I tried to stay in there since I was a freshamn, and I didnt like it all, and I knew it would effect my work, so I changed spanish classes, and I was so much comfortable and I didnt have that awkward feeling...you shouldn do what your friends want you to, just b/c they do it, doesn mean its the right thing for you,just b/c your friend is successful in one thing doesn mean you will, you do what you feel comfortable wit and what you want to do and youll be successful in whatever path you choose. I hope this helped , and good luck on your online college course!!!

I did give it a chance. I dont want people to think I gave up. we had to attend fake classes to see what they were like and it wasnt me and b/c I left, people hate me for it which makes me feel even worse than when I was there. I dont regret what I did and I think some people I know like my mother doesnt understand what I want to do.
