I don't think any of us really know we're making the right decision until it's been made and there's no going back. But I also think that what we make of our decisions depends partially on how we feel. And as long as I'm confident in myself and my abilities, I'll be fine. And I honestly believe that you will do fine as well, be it at Emory or a community college.
You're one of the smartest, funniest, most stylish girls I know. And, really, I hate that you doubt yourself so much. Because life should be lived without doubts. (Or rather, with as few as possible, haha.)
Just go for it, whatever it is. You're going to be great.
And I'll admit I want you at Emory so I can room with you my senior year =P
You're real sweet, V. ♥ I honestly don't know what came over me when I wrote this thing but sometimes you know, you just have a miniature freak out in your mind about everything, about the stability and reliability of your life as you realize it's changing at a thousand miles an hour. And you need to get it out before you realize: oh. And finally calm the fuck down, haha.
Like I said, as long as you don't go posting giant photos of near to naked men eyeing you with their smoldering gazes at every turn and corner (particularly in the bathroom), I think we can work something out.
So the "was Emory the right choice." I go through this all the time, and I think the majority of us do. A couple of posts ago you mentioned the financial side of it, and I'm assuming that's still the problem because other than the financial issues Emory is a pretty amazing school (not Ivy, but still pretty amazing) and I'll tell you what Nick told me in the past when I was struggling with it. He said that I've already spent the money for two years, and two more years to get that degree from a place like Emory is worth it. And yeah, it's a big commitment, but it's a commitment to your future whether you realize it or not, and despite what your professors may say. But make sure it's a commitment you make to something you enjoy doing, don't do it for the sake of security. I can tell you from experience, and from watching how my grandparents and their kids relationships with each other have gone to shit that no amount of money can ever make you happy. You could have all of it, multiple large homes, travel the world, buy yourself

The "Is this the right choice" is one that gnaws at everyone pretty much 24/7. I understand the cleaning of the room as something both cathartic and yet, at the same time, destroying. (Cleaning mine right now, actually. I found photos from us in middle school. Not even gonna discuss.)
Unfortunately, with the economic situation right now, and being in college and slowly becoming independent, the "right choice" questions are coming up more often, and stronger. What should I major in? Will I make enough money? WTF AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE? Those types of things. I mean, I transferred for a multitude of reasons; but the financial one was a heavy hand in the decision.
I remember you little and angry. No one likes seeing who they were in high school or middle school, because you realize all the bad that you were, not the good. The first thing you see are all the mistakes made, and how dumb they were. And how easily things could have been different or better if you had just thought about it then. But I, truthfully, like seeing

I think I'm liking the fact that my room is just generally an artistic rendition of D-Day. It's pretty cathartic.
