So confused!

I went to Gyu-Kaku with some friends last night, then we went to a hookah bar. Megan called me drunk from Atlanta. She asked me if I was drunk to. I kept thinking, "Of course not, I'm trying to detox here..." Then I started thinking about how I had no urge to drink and how I could never drink again and still be happy. I feel like New Orleans has

hey there
i'm a sophomore at Loyola, actually from California, also. (NorCal) I know exactly how you're feeling. The drinking and partying can get out of control. I pretty much crashed over thanksgiving break last year. I cried and cried when i had to go back. First semester is just a real shocker..no matter where you go. I know you probably hear it ALL the time, but trust me, it's true. I applied to california schools for second semester. I got in and had my mind set on transferring. I changed my mind last minute and decided to stick out the year. Second semester was a very different. I learned what my priorities were, and I made a huge group of CLOSE friends...i think that's what really helped. Sure, I made tons of friends first semester, just not ones that were necessarily my type I guess. I'm not trying to sell you on the school or anything, I'm just sharing your experience. I know what it's like. There's a lot more to do than drink, you just have to find it. Don't throw in the towel just yet.

Eh, it's not just that. I've realized more about want I want to do with my myself and Loyola simply does not offer the programs that I am now looking for. I want to do undergrad research and there's not much opportunity for that here. I went to the most awesome high school and nothing is the same. I feel like I'm reciting facts here! None of my classes involve any discussion, which is what i'm used to. I also feel like everything is way too easy...maybe that's just freshman year. This is truely an awesome school, but now that I'm realizing what I'm into I don't know if it's the best long-term choice for me. What's your major here?

Just don't let Shelly talk you back into Sarah Lawrence!
That's all I have to say, and I hope it wasn't completely inappropriate.
