Je suis entrain de decider entre lyon, berlin et londre
So my mind since really august has been all over the place, and I wanted to write out this post to get others opinions on my current situation. I arrived in Vancouver in august, and right from the jump something felt off and right away I wanted to transfer back home. It just did not feel right, which was weird because I loved the campus and the city and the academics and living on my own, but part of me just felt like it was a better decision to go back. 1- So many of at the time where who I considered really good friends lived back home and I did not want to loose connections with them by moving away for 3 years, 2- I love the city where im from, 3-my dream career is to work in my hometown and I do want there to be a place where I raise my family. All of these factors just made me be like am I really gaining anything staying? I also did not have a great social life, I really do not have any friends from ubc I had what some might know of as the first week friend group curse. Which made me transfer back, it was quick and I knew that but it just did not feel right being there, right now im still at a good school but it is not the level of ubc. But now Im not necessarily regreting my choice instead I am really thinking about going back, i want to live away from home as much as I can when im young because I want to settle in my hometown if that makes sense, also the student life is so much better at ubc, also the academics it just felt different how much better its done there. i think especially living in my own apartment and what that would bring i would really like, maybe the time home will make me enjoy coming back more? I do not want to say I regret coming back because I love my city, I just do not know if I overhyped to myself all the reasons for coming back and maybe it just was not that deep. I also got a really good opportunity to work for the school in the field of my dream career which would last next semester and my role is decently small so part of me is not too stressed but also i do feel pretty lucky to have gotten it. Maybe also ive thought of just transferring next september, idk.
