The author reflects on their experience at the University of Connecticut (UConn) and the eventual decision to transfer to Boston University. Initially struggling as a freshman, they realized the importance of not rushing to leave UConn. After giving themselves time to adapt, they began to appreciate their time there, although the desire to leave persisted. The article emphasizes the significance of self-discovery through challenges, ultimately reinforcing that if a situation doesn't feel right, it's acceptable to seek change.
Ultimately, you know what's best for you, but it's also important to give yourself time to settle and adjust - and then you can make a definitive decision.
I knew then that I couldn't just flee UConn because I was struggling. I had to settle in and see if it really was the wrong place for me.
The time I spent at UConn was definitely transformative. It taught me a lot about myself - how I handle stress, how I deal with new environments, and what I value in a community.
I'm glad I gave myself the time to explore my options - if something doesn't feel right, it's OK to move on.
