See, I had seriously contemplated transferring not too long ago. But I'd been taking some steps to try and improve my experience here. I'd gone to counseling service (the non psychciatric kind ) and they gave me a couple upperclassmen to act as friends/advisors.......ones that went thru the same thing I did.

Turns out, freshman year isn't all "fun and games" like it seems to be. She called it a "shiny veneer", and that once you grow out of it, you realize it really isn't all amazing as you progress thru the later years of college. She suggested what I already kinda knew: just make upperclassmen friends. I've always worked better with older people, and now is no exception. Plus, I met someone else from the DC area who's into cars in the same way I am. So yea, I've kinda stopped spinning my wheels and sorta grabbed on a little bit.

That's not to say I won't be sneaking down to Chapel Hill and Durham from time to time.
