I spoke with my sister about all of this, and she jokingly told me I was going through a mid-college crisis, and that things would work out for me. Y'all are reiterating that, so I'm much more comfortable with my decision. I sometimes just get caught up in the could've/should've/would've scenarios, and I need to learn to better redirect my thoughts to the positive. I guess I just got to thinking "what if I did this..." but after really considering it, I don't think it would be the best life decision for me.
And definitely agree with AZTheta, LadyLonghorn's post should be saved because I know I'm not the only one who has gone through this, and the way she put things really made me feel better.
Thanks again everybody  |
Oh shucks. Feel free to keep it a refer to it whenever you think it's needed. I'm sincerely happy that I was able to help put things in perspective.
Also, to those who are harping about recs: Yes, recs and letters of support are needed at UT, but only because most houses will drop a pnm after the first set if she doesn't have at least one. However, they do not guarantee a pnm will receive an invite to the second set. Plenty of pnms with multiple recs and letters get dropped from chapters after the first round.
