Please help, I’m completely depressed, been laying in bed all day. I’m giving up the school of my dreams…

…which I was supposed to start a week from tomorrow, because it will be much to expensive in the long run (A great private school but $15,000 a semester). I’m literally filling out the application for my local cheap state school as we speak. The worst part is I’ll have to move home, I’d been living about 7 hours away at another state school up til now (don’t want to go back there though). A girl who’s friends with one of my really good friends just posted on myspace a really affordable place to live, close to campus, and I got soo excited, thinking it was meant to be. I wrote her back and she read the response (you know how its shows you that on myspace… ) not only did she not write me back, but she posted the roommate bulliten a second time today! She so obviously doesn’t like me or think she wants to live with me… I don’t really know her all that well but I thought it would be a perfect situation. Anyway on top of the school thing its almost more than I can handle. I’m soo sad.

Oh, Dandelion, I’m sorry you are feeling so low right now.

I hope that you will re-think your decision not to go back to the state school you have been attending. If you stay there, you will not have to move home, you will have a course of study to pursue, and you will have the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.

Hang in there, Sweetie! Life is good; you just need to get through this rough patch. Chin up!

Hey baby girl,

firstly have some hugs cos it sounds like u need them oooo

now take a deep breath cos everything is going to be ok.

life can be really scarey…especially when it’s changing so much and so quickly! look, u don’t need to make the decision today… take today just to have a rest…have a nice bath, go for a walk…play yahtzee or something! just give ur mind a little rest. have a good cry if u need to!

when ur feeling a little better have a look at all ur options. do u know what employment u want to get into in the future? if not…there are lots of other things u could do over the next year! school can always wait until ur more sure!

what about looking more into ur hobbies and seeing if u can find some sort of education applicable to that? or travel? i never completed highschool (though i did some higher education) yet i’m now in china working as an english teacher…which i love! it has really helped me grow as a person and get my priorities in order! i now know what education i want, and where i want to be in five years…where as a few years ago i had no idea what i wanted!

baby – the whole world is possible for u. have a rest and let the right decision come to ur heart. there may still be some fear…but see this as nervous excitement! life is going to be awesome baby! it’s all gonna rock and ur gonna kick ***!

more hugs OOOOOOOO and here some kisses too XXXXX

it’s all good baby, the answer to what u should do is ur heart!

You will be fine that’s life life is like a rollercoaster, get more loans and get 2 jobs. I went to a very very expensive school Mount St Mary’ college, I had grants loans and 3 jobs but I did it. My school was $12,000 a semester that was back in 1997. You can do it

My dear, one day you will look back at this time in your life and laugh. You say why? Because dear, you wasted such a lovely day by laying in bed feeling sorry for yourself. I know people who went/go to USC & UCLA. Those who could not get in years later they did not suffer a tramatic breakdown. Don’t you know by now, not everyone likes you, or you them?You will do a injustice to yourself and your future by not giving 100% to the school you get into…Remember the tradegy of Virginia Tech? Well today they held a memorial prior to the start of school, for those that were killed. and here you were laying in bed feeling sorry for yourself…Get your a** out of that foul mood and make each date count!!! OK?

Is the unhappiness worth the few extra years you might have to pay of students loans?

My school is $46,000 a year, and between grants and scholarships that I applied for, I cut my cost down a lot, but I decided that it meant enough for me to go there and pass up staying closer to home and paying less for tuition.

It’s your life, live it happy!
