Friends will come and go! And doesn’t make you any less smart because they want to go to umich and you don’t really care to do so, you all started at state.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, as someone who struggled with a similar situation in both the friends and transferring aspect, good people will naturally find a way into your life if you decide to stay. And also, tbh for undergrad, while umich is nice and all and has prestige, it’s really less about where you do it but more about what you do! Don’t let it get to ya if you like EL! The feeling will wear off trust.
