West Chester University,

It happened, I FINALLY finished my first semester at a new college after transferring. How am I feeling about all of this? Well, it's very bittersweet. But mainly, I would like to say thank you for being the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Not only did you give me the most amazing memories, but you gave me the most amazing friends and relationships that I am so lucky to have.

I was so unhappy and sad until I came here and it was like a night and day difference in mood. I instantly felt so much happier and I can honestly say that I am where I belong. Each day I was excited to wake up, to go to classes, to see what my day would hold. Because, I knew that no matter what, I would have a day filled with friends and awesome memories would be made.

The friends you provided me with are people that I feel so blessed to have met. These friendships I made were able to make my transfer so much easier. In general, everyone I met was so genuine and kind, I couldn't have asked for anything more. I am so sad to have to leave these friends for a few months, and I cannot wait until we all can be back on campus with each other again.

I feel that for the first time in forever, I am on the right path for me. Transferring was able to make me truly be headed in the right direction, and West Chester helped me feel confident in where I was going. Everything is finally all falling into place and I credit everything to this change in universities.

So thank you, West Chester University, for giving me the most amazing semester. I made so many amazing memories with the most wonderful people. I feel that my education is going in the right direction. I know that you will help me find the "me" that I want to be.
