Omg thank u all so much for the nice comments WHATT❤️. also a lot of people are asking me if they should still come to school here and I just wanna say that this is just my experience!!! I can’t make that decision for anyone but hopefully my info can help ya :)
I loved this video so much. I actually recently transferred second semester of my freshmen year and I was also so scared and anxious about it, but it was the best decision I have ever made. You gotta always do what's best for you. I wish you the best at TCU and I hope you absolutely love it!! Go thrive at your dream school :)
I transferred after my freshman year, I’m now a senior about to graduate and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Kudos to you for taking your life and happiness into your own hands- you won’t regret it.
So happy for you Macy!! You need to be where you feel at home. Your environment impacts your mental state so incredibly much. So, it’s wonderful that you’re able to go where you’ve always wanted to be. Don’t concern yourself with people who may not support your decision. Plus! Look at the bright side, now your audience gets to experience TCU with you!! So happy for you and so happy to see your new videos. Much love❤️
you are GLOWING and look so happy! I am so excited for you!!❤️
I was a little shook at first, but I am very happy for you and I hope that you have an amazing time at TCU! Glad that you made the decision that felt the best for you!
What I love most about your channel is that you are so open and so honest about everything. You are the only College UA-camr i know who is „real“ and doesn’t pretend that everything is perfect all the time. I’m so happy that you have the chance to go to your dream school!
Good luck, girl! Praying for you. 💗
I’m so happy for you! Cant wait to see you go on this journey!! Love you Macy!
i am SO happy for you!! can not wait to see you thrive at TCU and for all the vlogs!!!
i’m so glad your following your dreams, at the end of the day you have to do better for yourself and i can tell it will show in your future content❤️
awh Macy i’m so sad but SO happy for you!!! SDSU is one of the schools i’m deciding between right now & as much as i would have loved to keep watching your SDSU vlogs, i am glad you are going with your heart. I truly wish you the best girly!! ✨i can’t wait to follow you on your TCU experience (:
THANK YOU ❤️
I kinda knew this was coming. You've talked a little bit about how you weren't the happiest there. But when somethings not right for you, you got to switch it up. So happy for you girly! 💕
Congrats on finding a school that fits you! I hope you enjoy the rest of the semester. I excited to continue to follow your journey.
Good for you to do what makes you happy!!! I transferred after my Freshman year and it was the greatest decision I could have ever made for my mental health. I’ve thrived at my new school and I hope you find the same. Best of luck girly!
Please talk about the tea with SDSU!! I’m considering going there and want to know what I’m getting myself into.
It’s pretty much because Sdsu isn’t centered around football and she didn’t get into Greek life (well she did but she didn’t want to join any of the smaller sororites). Nothing to do with the school, for some reason she didn’t rly look up the social scene or what San Diego even is before committing.
tubby28 hey tubby!! It just wasn’t the college for me. I tried to make that pretty clear! Happy there’s people that love SDSU so much, that just wasn’t me!
Holly R yeah exactly hahaha this was my experience with the school but I would hope that everyone feels differently!! Just not my environment
It just seems like there’s something you’re holding back or not saying on purpose, and I don’t want to have to get there to know what it is Macy Thompson
ive known like three ppl who transferred out of sdsu lol 😅
I’m transferring from my school too girl and it’s so scary and like intimidating but you’re right it needs to be done! Good luck next year
Hey girl! I also am transferring from San Diego State to a southern school (and so so so excited) lolol
I totally get where you're coming from! SO happy you're going somewhere you love!
Best of luck!!
Rebecca Stark What school?
I’m happy you’ve shared your transfer experience! I’m in the same boat with you pretty much. I’m transferring from an Ohio school to a North Carolina school right now and I never felt comfortable sharing my experience because I felt like I was the only one in the boat. It feels great knowing someone is going through some of the same experiences as me!
So excited for you!!! Can’t wait to keep watching your videos:)
I’m going to a cal state (cal poly slo) this year as an incoming freshman, and TCU has always been my dream school!! I got into TCU, but financially it didn’t work out. I see a lot of myself in you, and you give me so much hope with your perseverance and tenacity! I wish you the best at TCU! knuckle up ✌🏼💜
I am so happy for you! You made me tear up girl omg I am wishing you the best! 💕
Aw Macy I'm so bummed you're leaving. I 'm an alumnus and loved watching all of your campus video and seeing you hang around the city. Feeling more connected to the school absolutely gets better once you're out of the first couple of years because that's when your class size starts really dwindling down and you actually start forming relationships with professors which is so great. But I know from watching your videos that you really desperately wanted somewhere with a school spirit and I CAN agree that SDSU doesn't have loads of that. There's definitely pride in our basketball team but that's really about it. I'm really happy to see how excited you are though for this move to Texas and I of course wish you all the best there! It's been a blast having you here in San Diego
awww thank u so much for this!
I love watching your channel grow girl! I’m at tcu rn and I can’t wait for you to be here! Your gonna love it!! Go frogs baby!🎉
Happy for you. Can’t wait to see the next phase of your life!
we'll support you no matter what you do and where you go! :)
I just graduated from SDSU, and I felt the same way the whole time. Hopefully you are able to get more out of another community! Best of luck!
me watching this as someone who's about to start their freshman year at sdsu 👁👄👁
Same 🤦♂️
@@joekorelov3492 we should be friends LMAO
ohh Lucky! I could not even get in but only sf state ai yahhh
I’ve been watching your videos over the past year as a senior in HS & I’ll be going to TCU next fall too! Go frogs🐸
That's so awesome that your coming to Texas. I'm from Texas and I am going to be a freshmen at Dallas Baptist University in the Fall. I'll be praying for you in this season of transition and hope things go smoothly.
Good for you following your dreams x I just follow because I love watching college life as I couldn't go!
Hey! I go to TCU and I just transferred here in the Spring! TCU has a great transfer program and makes it really easy for students to adapt! You’re going to love it here! Go frogs🐸💜
Jaclyn Ibarra hey Jaclyn I hope to transfer to tcu next fall and was curious what was your gpa and did you receive financial aid?
I go to UF and can relate with the feeling like a number thing. I’m so happy you’re taking this step to making yourself happier! I transferred too and it’s tough at first but I’m so thankful I did it!
you have to do what’s right for YOU!!! I’ll support you and your channel no matter where you are🧡
Hi Macy!! I have lived in San Diego for my whole life. San Diego is an amazing place, I have traveled a lot and I still think San Diego is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I just started at SDSU when I transferred last semester but I wasn’t too excited about it. I really haven’t felt that connected to SDSU and I’m not really happy to be at the school. I will be graduating in the fall so I just told myself I would be done soon so I’ve stuck to it. I’m glad you’re doing something that makes you so obviously happy!! I hope you have a much better time at TCU! 💗
Congrats girl! So excited for you!
Sticking with you no matter what school you go too!! ❤️❤️
I am going to be a rising senior in college this fall! I did the exact same thing after my freshman year as you. I went to a huge school and i loved it at first and made some of my best friends . But i decided after the first year that I wanted to switch to a small school where i felt part of the community! I am so happy that I made the switch and would never regret going to my first school or transferring in a million years! Good luck with everything!!!
I’m so happy for you! I hope you love TCU!
I personally went to the University of Kentucky my freshman year and I felt the exact same way! I transferred home. It’s totally normal and you will feel ten times happier. Good luck to you girl
i am so happy for you !!! congratulations ! i have a feeling that you will kill it at TCU ! i cant wait for vlogs in texas !
also i am really proud you are confident to share this because as someone who transferred out of sdsu it can be very difficult, but the payoff is amazing !
@@cambria6420 thank u so much!
I live in Fort Worth and I’m going to SDSU in the fall!!! TCU is a great school and Fort Worth is a fun college town
I transferred universities after my freshman year as well! I’m also at a Christian university in California! It was a little hard jumping in as a sophomore but being a first-time student tbh, because it felt like everyone already had their established friend groups. BUT - if this is also your case, don’t get discouraged! Transferring was the best decision of my life and now as I’m finishing up my second semester, I’ve found incredible friends who challenge me spiritually. Praying you find the community and experience you’ve been searching for 💛🌿
I’m so happy and proud of you!!!
Hi Macy - I also transferred to TCU after my freshman year at the University of Minnesota!! I graduated in 2018 and can honestly tell you it was an incredible experience! I went to Minnesota cause it was closer to home but thought i would make the transition! TCU has the best community and it was an amazing decision for me :) I wish you the best and hope you have the most wonderful time there.
OMG I am going to be attending TCU in the fall as well but as a freshman!! I love your channel and can't wait to hopefully meet you!! :)
This video is so important!!! I'm from Georgia and came to SDSU so I could travel and be out of my comfort zone. I fell in love with the city and views but not really the school. Just like Macy my first semester was not good and one of my tight friends transferred but I stayed bc of ~peer pressure~ from people at sdsu, thoughts that i'd be considered a failure, and people back home saying I wouldn't make it out here. So, here I am going to state everyday wishing I could as well be in Texas (lol i love texas and never met a texan I don't like). Im going to be in my third year next semester and I feel its too late to transfer due to application periods and transferring credits. But yes sdsu is so whack and they are hiding things. Everything you've said Macy is soooo spot on in this video and all your others about sdsu. Keep running after your happiness
I followed you because I'm interested in SDSU, but I'm definitely sticking around. I'm excited to see how you go through such a dramatic change to a school you obviously love. It's your life, never be afraid to make changes and take on new challenges.
Oh and #MaceNaysh, lol
I transferred from a school in California after my freshman year to a school in Tennessee, I’m now a senior about to graduate and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Kudos to you for taking your life and happiness into your own hands- you won’t regret it.
The fact that u made this video is helpful for me going into my freshman year in 2 months and knowing that if Im unhappy that I have options :)
For anyone thinking about going to SDSU- It seems like it’s a huge Greek life school when you’re a freshman living on campus since that’s all anyone ever talks about for the first semester. It seems very superficial right off the bat since everyone goes in with the mentality that it’s a party school and you need to be in Greek life to have fun. The hype usually dies down by the second semester since a bunch of ppl don’t make it into Greek life (obviously) so that’s when you really start to settle into your friend groups. Once I moved off campus and found a place with normal ppl my age I ended up having a lot more fun. It takes a while to find your group but you will eventually. Also, make friends with the commuter students. They’re the ones who know SD the best and also tend to be more down to earth than the kids who chose SDSU cuz they think it’s a party school (in my opinion). I graduated last year and found a job in SD and my closest friends right now were commuter students at SDSU.
literally so true. I really thought I needed to be in a sorority first semester. Totally died down. Most people dont even participate after sophomore year. The whole party school thing is dying very quickly with greek life getting shut down though
You're going to love it here! I'm a rising junior and it's been the best 2 years of my life. I'm originally from San Diego too which is the funny part and trust me when I say you won't regret it like this school is amazing :)
I'm in the opposite situation. I'm from California and went to Boulder because I wanted to go to a big school away from home but I've learned that California is where I'm my happiest so I'm transferring to a California University next year. Glad that you're doing what makes you happy!
Rila Curaming me too! I’m from California but going to school in Wisconsin currently
After my freshman year, I transferred to the University of Oklahoma and I LOVE it. This decision is so hard to make but I promise that you will not regret it and going to a school where you are proud to be there is so important. Go big 12!!!!
I transferred to sdsu from community college a year ago and I totally feel you, I would’ve probably transferred had I been there since freshman year. Being at a big school can be challenging and I really think people sell an idea of sdsu that’s not too accurate for everyone that attends. Good luck at TCU!!!
Not challenging. /
Macy, I'm so happy for you, you seemed so unhappy all year I'm glad you're going where you will be happy.
Transferring can be such an emotional and tough process ngl... i thought about doing it, i have friends who have done it. As long as you're sure about it I bet it'll be great! Good luck this fall!!
I'm a transfer student and it worked out so well for me! Glad you found your home
As someone who also ultimately went to SDSU because it was more affordable for me since I'm from San Diego I really relate to this. Your so lucky you were able to transfer to the school of your dreams. I really wanted to go to University of Seattle. I absolutely agree SDSU is great for the social aspect but its run very much like a business. Good luck girl 👏👏👏👏
Had the same experience my freshman year, transferring to Lee in TN this fall!! I! Feel! You!! Leaving a big school “business” atmosphere for a small school community!!!
we support you!! it never seemed like the right place for you based on how you talked in your videos. You have some AMAZING friends there but that was really the only positive ❤️
Thanks girl!!
Don’t worry Macy. We still gonna be subscribed. It’ll be fun bc now you can teach us about a new school we had no idea about. Transferring can be mixed emotions so best of luck to you!
Giiiirrrllll, congratulations! Your happiness matters.
I went thru the same thing. April of my freshman year my university made the decision to do away with my major so I was given the decision of changing majors and staying or transferring to another university. I moved from colorado to Las Vegas and honestly it’s been the best thing so I wish you the best, just know the first month will be rough as you’re going thru the freshman experience yet again but once you establish yourself it will be great!
I can relate so so much to your video that I cried from remembering my horrible experience in your position last semester. You are so brave for lasting a year. I went to Sacramento State last fall as a Freshman. I was 3 hours away from home & hated the school so much. Literally LEFT my FIRST WEEK!! Did community college back home and transferred to FRESNO PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, a Christian uni in Fresno Ca, in Jan 2019 for spring semester. best decision I’ve ever made!! I literally have never been happier with my life and cannot imagine my life anywhere else. Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails (prov. 19:21)
Yay I'm so so happy for you. Welcome to Texas, and if you ever come down to college station let girl know :)
I’m going to college out of state to Texas too! I’ve always known that’s where I wanted to go. However I am trying to transfer to UT Austin my sophomore year so glad I get to see you do the same! Love ya! 💕
Ah! I’m going to TCU this fall. Fell in love with it the same reasons you did. I’ll see you this fall!
omg I go to OU and love it so so much so weird that I could've seen you on campus when you were here!! good luck at TCU you are going to love it!!!!
Madison McMahon omg no way! Thank you❤️
Love you girl!!!
I absolutely love Texas and I’m excited for you!! I go to Arizona state but I did apply to UT and Baylor and sometimes I wish I would of gone there. Texas has a special place in my heart ❤️
Madalyn Nobles same I am trying to transfer to UT it’s been my dream school for a long time love Texas so much
Yay!!! Omg once I moved to TX I really wished I would’ve went to TCU! I live in Dallas and I’m down in Fort Worth all the time. I hope I run into you sometime!!
Good luck to you. TCU looks like a nice school. It is very pretty. Can't wait to see how it goes in Texas for you. Sorry SDSU wasn't the school for you. Sometimes we need to do what's best for us. Thanks for sharing.
I’m new to your channel and am already enjoying it. I’m going to be a freshman in college and I’m nervous but lately unsure if I made the right choice but I need to feel it out.
I've been watching your vlogs off and on, because I'm born and raised San Diego County and love seeing the city through others' eyes, and I resonate with this video so much. My freshman year, I moved out of state to go to a small school in Montana. I did it because they were the only school in the COUNTRY that offered the major I wanted, and I felt like it was worth it. Turns out, it was not. I was miserable, I was so homesick, I was SO sad the entire year. I was a shell of myself, and nobody there even knew it because they didn't know who I was before. It was the hardest year of my life, and yet deciding to transfer was also an extremely hard decision. I felt like I was giving up on a dream, like I was being childish, like I wasn't strong enough. I had made some incredible friends (who remain my friends to this day) and had some good adventures, but eventually did decide to leave. I, too, spent my spring break exploring what would become my new campus (Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego) and fell in love. It was the only school I applied to for transfer and I got accepted, and my last three years there (I graduated last May) changed my life. What I'm saying is that deciding to transfer IS a very personal decision, you are so right. It is not easy, but you come first. Don't worry about how it makes you look, or what others may think. You are going to THRIVE at TCU. You are going to LOVE the smaller population, it makes a world of difference. I hardly know you (duh) but this is going to be good for you, and I'm excited for vlogs in a new place come fall. Congratulations!
Emily Miranda thank you!!! ❤️❤️s
I think if it makes you happier going to Texas, is definitely the best for you 💪🏼
im at the point rn where im choosing between here and baylor, im so conflicted but watchin this video helped
CONGRATS GIRL!!!!!
SDSU is definitely a business. But so is every other college/university in this country with perhaps the exception of Berea College (KY) and College of the Ozarks (MO)... and maybe a handful of others. Good for you for hanging in at State for the full year. God bless you as you move on.
I think you going to San Diego partially because of the location is why some high schoolers need help applying to colleges. You can't just apply to a college for the location because in the end you won't enjoy your classes even if you end up loving the city (or hating it). Hope everything works out for you at TCU! I'm transferring to a four year college this summer after I get my associates (I go to a community college) and I toured my college and fell in love with it. I knew how the people were and the academics (for the most part) and I enjoy most of my classes even if they are generals (except for college algebra and my bio lab).
That’s good that you are doing what’s best for you!!! You go girl!
I transferred for very similar reasons and it is the best choice I've made!
NatDred101 this makes me so happy
Fort Worth is amazing!! So happy for you!
This video makes me feel so much better :’)) I’m also a freshman at state and I’ve been really unhappy here and I think I’m going to go to community college next year and transfer to a new college because I really don’t like it here
I’m so glad excited for you! I hope you are happy at TCU. Would you possibly be able to make a video in the future about the transfer process)
yes! im going to do a transfer q&a
Good luck to you Macy!! I have a freshman daughter at SDSU who is also a Maecy!
San Diego is going to miss you!!
Choosing a college (honestly, deciding to go to college in the first place) is a really hard decision!!! I’m so glad you found your place!!! (Also OU is in my home state and i love it but OU is super overwhelming for me but if your brother loves it, DO IT!! Oklahoma is a great place to be if you want a family feel, but Texas is good too ig 😂)
Wow! I can't imagine leaving San Diego State for TCU. Everyone I know who went to SDSU loved it. Beautiful campus and beautiful city.
Macy you should follow your dreams and I agree with you that if you are not happy you should change something. I subscribe you because of San Diego State but I will watch your videos nothing will change. You are an amazing girl, who make great videos to have fun. I wish you all the best. I hope I will have a chance to come to USA and see you personally. I am from Georgia and I am studying in San Diego State University Georgia. Love u
transfer student here too! i know exactly what you’re going through and felt the exact same way when i was a freshman 7 years ago
I’ve been watching your videos the last few months (and im late to subscibing because i usually watch on my smart tv😂). Ive loved watching your SDSU videos ever since I found your account. Im even more excited to see you going to TCU because not many UA-cam personalities go to small private universities. I myself am going to a private school in Ohio next year that has roughly 3000 enrolled students. You’ve been relatable even going to a big university but now youre even more relatable going to a smaller university. Thank you for sharing your experience with this college journey❤️
Hey Macy, my name is Josiah; I am a freshman of SDSU. I am sorry SDSU has not given you the experience you wish you wanted, but I am glad you enjoyed the beautiful weather down here. I totally agree that TCU is a great school, and it seems that private Christian colleges are very welcoming and secure. As much as I wish you could stay here in SDSU, I wish you the best experience in TCU. I actually wished I was in another school instead of SDSU, and I being in SDSU have had some unsatisfactory moments. We will miss you, and your tears really matter; but remember to keep that passion of whatever you have in you.
As a fellow transfer student, I know how you feel! It isn't easy and good for you for finding your dream school! I transferred to UCONN last semester and so glad I transferred! Good luck next semester and if you need someone to talk to about transferring with, I am here lol
Good for you for having the courage to leave so early on bc ik if it was me, I would put it off for years and then just end up unhappy
Macy, thank you so much for talking about the truth of why you didn’t appreciate San Diego state as much as you wanted to. I’m a senior in high school and I was looking into sdsu and made myself believe that it was the right school for me. But I knew that I only wanted to go there just because it’s in California and I wasn’t thinking about going for the right reasons. I got deferred from my dream school originally so I thought that sdsu was my only other option. But after getting in, I realized that it wasn’t practical for me to go to sdsu. Watching your videos helped me realize that sdsu isn’t what I wanted my college experience to be like. I still love it there and it breaks my heart that I’m deciding not to go anymore but I know it’s the right decision and I’m more than grateful to be attending the school that I know is perfect for me.
Yay! TCU is a great school! Congrats ❤️
fellow Frog here!!! You’ll love it!! It’s amazing
I’m really lucky that I’m not already in college and thinking about transferring but I totally see why you’re doing this because I made a similar choice. I was considering SDSU a lot mostly due to a long distance relationship I’m in. As April arrived, I realized that I really didn’t want to go there, regardless of what happened with my relationship. The campus was nice but the tour guide lady was boring and most people on campus seemed like they didn’t really want to be there. I visited Colorado State University Ft. Collins during their admitted student day and although I didn’t get to see some things like students walking around campus, I fell in love with it. They made everyone who visited the college of natural resources do a really fun and hard scavenger hunt, so it didn’t even feel like a college at all. CSU also has SO MANY unique majors that I’m interested in, like Watershed Science. Their website is super helpful and even though they’re big, I haven’t felt like a number at all. They honored my dorm change request when I called housing, so now I’m in the BEST dorm I could’ve ever wished to be in. I’m so glad that I decided not to leave Colorado because I have so many things going for me at CSU.
yayayayayayayay can't wait to have you here
SO EXCITED
That is amazing that you choose to change you path and go after what you wanted. I had similar dreams of going to school out of state to go to school to be a nurse. I never left California but I realized that nursing is not for me by staying and I don't know if I would have figured that out if I left. I am now an Applied Mathematics major and I am so happy.
i live in dallas and i bet ur gonna love TCU!!
