And yes, UofM would be one of the top places on my list. They have two programs there that interest me quite a bit, and I love the faculty. I applied to one of the programs the first time around, but got wait-listed, damn them! Anyway, my portfolio is stronger this time around, so hopefully I’d have some better luck.

Either way, I’m stuck here for at least one more year. Maybe it’ll be better?

I wish I could be there for you, Megan. And it sounds like maybe you should consider transferring after this year. I know it's terrifying. My god, do I know… but also, I don't think you'd have a lot of trouble getting in somewhere else. It's not like you've had -poor- semesters or are flunking out, you'd just be switching it up.

andmaybeyoucouldconsidertheUofM – ahem what? Did I say something?

But seriously, like you said – if you're miserable, is it worth staying? I mean… I think about it sometimes. If I stayed at Stetson. Am I happier now that I didn't? Yeah, I really am. Sure, I don't know what I'm doing with my life or where I'll end up, but I'd have been at that point this year Stetson or no, and while it kills me that leaving Stetson meant leaving you and my other friends, I don't think I'd have decided differently if I could go back.

Now, this was all me, so it could be completely different for you, but, there's no harm in looking at what's out there and considering it, dude. You do seem pretty aggravated with your current program. I remember, even with how stressed you just are in school by default, there was an enthusiasm behind it all those last couple years there. Once you switched to DA, Music, you had a goal, even if getting there was annoying and stressful and whatnot. I haven't gotten the vibe that this program is nearly as motivating for you.

But most of all: love you, Megan. If you ever need a sounding board, don't hesitate to call me or ping me on AIM. I miss talking to you every other day or so. <3 We can bond over considering scary options for next year together.
