My friend and I went to college together, but due to a personal matter she had to leave. Now I honestly feel alone here and I don't like it but, I do feel some peace and it's a lot of opportunity where I am. It just cost a lot for the school and they want me to start over as a freshman cause all my classes don't transfer. I decided to go back home cause I could graduate early and its much cheaper. The problem is I am stressed at home, but I get my work done. Did the decision I made to go home a good one or should I stick it out here.:confused:

I think my son felt the same way you do/did. He moved out to attend a job after college. The job didn't work out for whatever reason, probably the driving time and expense. He said if he came home he would feel that he is taking steps backwards. I said not because no matter how he felt, home is where one belongs when you need us. You can work out the stress by getting rid of the negative mindset and just get on with your studying.

He worked himself back into my heart (he never really left it) he knows that. My point is you say you are stressed at home, that will work out, but you get your work done because that is where you know you are loved.

Thanks god you guys always have a home (and a heart) to come back to.

Best regards,

It really depends on what your priority is. Do you want to graduate earlier? Do you want to save money? Is living away from home more important than the first two aspects?

List your priorities down and make sure that you are accomplishing the ones at the top of the list. It's really difficult to accomplish everything on the list if they contradict, so focus on the most important one(s).
