A couple of months ago I transferred to Mercyhurst University. Not because I was unhappy at FSU Panamanian Campus, but because something drove me to do so. A year and a half after transferring colleges, I can assure you, that I have no idea whatsoever of what that "something" was. Several months later, I still ask myself if I made the right choice. How to know if transferring colleges was a right decision, or is a good decision to consider in the future, is something that can either remain unanswered, or not.

Several times I had to tell myself to buckle up, it 's only a couple years left. It 's quite difficult to take responsibility for your choices, especially when you think you screwed up. I couldn 't help but think about the people who transfer from one college to another, do they feel the same?

The whole transferring process comes with several challenges, both easy and difficult to overcome. The fact that I had to fit in somewhere new, when I already had what I needed back in Panama, college transfer didn 't seem like a good idea anymore. I came to think I had made the wrong choice rather than the right one. But then again, it 's anything a matter of right or wrong? or is it just a matter of perspective?
