My Top 5 Emotions About Transferring Schools
Kaboompics

Although I've written a lot lately about my transferring process, with each article and day that passes, it becomes more of a reality. In each of those days, I feel a lot of different emotions that validate the whole experience. Each emotion differs the previous, but all hold true to the mix of emotions I am having about transferring very soon to my new home.

1. Excitement

The first feeling that I get every time I think about going to my new school is just pure excitement. It’s those exciting jitters that you get whenever you’re expecting something soon and it just can’t happen soon enough. I have a countdown and with each passing day, I think more and more about being at my new school.

2. Nervousness

To counteract that excitement, I do feel nervous about the process. I’ll be starting over again while trying to find where I fit in. The size difference of my new school is also a little overwhelming. I know that I will find my place, but the road to get to that point seems a little daunting. There is so much unknown to me about what my life will be like there and not knowing has my nerves a little riled up.

3. Opportunistic

One thing I plan to do at my new school is to keep myself busy, but not too busy for my own good. There are so many things that I want to do that I wasn’t able to do at my current school. I’ll be meeting more people and exposes to new clubs and organizations. I’ll be able to study what I want and have so many opportunities from that major. I don’t have a doubt that the opportunities for me at my new school will be plentiful.

4. Nostalgic

The biggest thing that gives me regret about transferring is leaving the friends I have made at my current school. I’ll miss my comfortableness with the smaller campus and seeing the same familiar faces every day. I’ll miss running into my friends and talking to them for hours. I’ll miss being in a city where I was so comfortable and happy, but only lacked specific things I wanted to get out of going to college. I’ll definitely miss the memories and friends I’ve made so far.

5. Content

Through all the mixed emotions I seem to be having, in the grand scheme of things, I really do feel content about transferring. I know that my friendships aren’t over, I’ll always be close with my friends here. I know that my nervousness and excitement will balance each other when I start school there. The happiness I feel when I talk or think about being at my new school, I know that I’ll be okay there.

I’m having several mixed emotions about transferring to my new school. It’s a lot to think about and it’s happening so soon that sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it all. Overall though, it’s a new chapter of my life that I cannot wait for. Emotions or not, I’m ready for it all.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
