Now, what do YOU think of the idea that Yale will get better with time? After my friend Christina first suggested that, I was like, "No way, I've been here for two years already, I know this place and I know nothing's going to change!" but I've come to think she has a point.
If time strengthens new bonds and weakens old ones, anyway, then I guess one should expect to like Yale more and miss California less with the passage of time.
On the other hand, you would make more friends. You've known the people here nine months, so it's fair to assume that it would take you that long to get attached to people in CA, yes? And you are looking at staying in CT much longer than that if you decide to stick with Yale. Is it worth passing up those 9 months or however long to get settled in CA in exchange for an extra 4 or 5 years here rather than there?
That's awesome that your mom was supportive and helpful, though.
And are you seriously only 21? How did that happen? Do I already know this story?
