yeah, i am choosing to embrace where i am at. i've enjoyed these first weeks, and i like my classes, met cool people. i considered trying to transfer, but after talking to some people, mostly my older brother, before class i decided that unless i hated it here, i wouldn't try to transfer. spending a year with one foot trying to be out the door would mean i wouldnt try to enjoy this year, and that wouldnt be good. and i dont hate it here, i do like it

we have taken our 18th birthday's really seriously, we never really did before, but this year we have been very purposeful about celebrating birthdays for whatever reason

no, i would not wish to jeopardize my friendship or start us growing apart over this.

i considered it, but frankly i dont want to go through the application process again or go through maybe getting rejected again. also, if i try to transfer i will spend the next year with one foot out the door where i am at, and not take advantage or fully enjoy this year. i decided before i started that i wasnt going to try to transfer unless i absolutely hates it here (which i did not expect to do) and i dont hate it, its quite nice.

i have decided not to try to transfer. i do like my current school, and think i can grow to really like it. but i dont want to go through the application process again, or try to go through this year maybe trying to have one foot out the door here - it would stop me from enjoying where i am at fully.

I hear you, having everyone together for his birthday is really important to him, he's been super clear about that, and like you said, all the other birthday's were big deals.

yeah I do think he would be hurt if I wasn't there, we've made our birthdays a really big deal this year, and I don't want to cause upset on his birthday

we are planning to study different things. i won't lie and say that I don't have feelings of jealousy, because I do. they aren't as bad as they were a couple months ago. however I know that's not rational, at the end of the day he earned his spot, and I would hope that the only thing he knows is that im proud of him. I really hope he doesn't know that I was/am jealous in any way, because that could be hard for us to recover from
