      not feeling like yourself in a new environment was the worst thing! when i was a freshman people would post a ton on social media of them "having fun" and i always wondered why is my experience so different... despite my internal struggles i learned so much about myself. freshman year is the year to REALLY put yourself out there but it gets better i promise!!

    a girl from my high school class also went to IU and transferred back to a state school, don’t feel guilty for leaving, i’m glad you realized it and doing what’s best for you. trying to stay and make it work will not be worth it. i also transferred home and i was upset and lost a lot of friends from doing it at school, but now i look back and everything has happened for a reason and i can tell it was meant to happen. now i am at the school i didn’t get into out of high school and always dreamed of originally going to. obviously try to have some fun for the rest of the semester while you can but i just started watching your videos and i’m so happy you’re making a happy change! it’s so exciting ❤️

    I figured this was the video coming out next! I actually transferred to IU from another school. And I wouldn’t be having a good time if my fiancé wasn’t here. We literally just walk our dog and people watch 24/7 in this crazy college town lol. The Greek life stigma here is WILD to me and honestly entertaining. I’m also NOT a party gal and it’s all ppl do here. If it’s ur crowd, it works. But if partying isn’t ur thing, I totally see why u want to try something new. (Plus all ur other crazy and unfortunate circumstances). I’ve loved ur videos and can’t wait to see more wherever you go! Keep ur head up!

    I am so sorry you had such a horrible experience. I went to high school in Bloomington but chose not to go to IU. I went to college in Nashville and so happy I did looking back on it. You are way too mature and sweet for those houses and those people. The people harassing you are either jealous of your success or just bored…or both. Just keep doing your thing. Your attitude, morals and values will get you so much further than any of them. Just stay true to yourself and ignore hateful people. They are the ones with the problem.

    Aw Tamara. I was in EXACTLY your place last year. I came in freshman year so excited for Kelley and for IU and in return it all ended not in my favor. I came home and attended a college nearby where I am now going to transfer as a junior this fall somewhere thats a lot more relaxed & much less prestigious Indiana (Colorado State hopefully). Kelley was SO rough. I understand trying genuinely SO hard on a test and it always being unattainable.

And you're allowed to be upset & frustrated because you were so excited for it. It is truly unfortunate how many people that have been derailed off their course by Indiana.

    I have never seen any of your videos before but I am currently a freshman at IU this year and plan to transfer after this year. Everything you said about really hoping that everything would work out and then being the opposite, and thinking it was exactly what you wanted in HS senior year is exactly how I feel too. I can’t say I can relate too much to the ostracism you have sadly had to deal with, but I can only imagine how difficult that must have been.
    Just wanted to say that this video and everything you said means a lot to me.

    I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. I don’t think there are enough channels that talk about the toxic side of state schools like greek life drama/just college generally bringing out the absolute worst in people. From being in college long enough I think it’s just a given that when you’re in this weird transitional space between childhood and adulthood people either don’t know how to act or end up learning real fast. It took me two years to figure out that the expectations I had as a senior in HS simply did not fit the person I was and that I needed to lose the toxic bs, drama, habits, isolate myself and just do me in order to be happy. You should be proud of yourself for making such a major change!!! I wish you so much luck and love!

    So sorry you went through this. I went to IU and graduated in 2018. I had an extremely hard time acclimating from the beginning. Liked to go parties but also not the only thing I wanted to do. I went to high school in Tampa but I am from Chicago and promise this is not a general midwest thing (the judgementalness) but also agree on your comments about the crowd in Bloomington. I almost transferred sophomore year due to a variety of reasons such as major depression and anxiety, as well as just not being happy, but I got into a non housed sorority and I hate to be like “thats why I didn’t transfer” but I had 3 friends at IU and that was it. I already had acceptance to another school and everything so I was very close. Definately relate to your comments about greek life at IU because we were a “bottom tier” house and were looked down upon but I didn’t care because I found my place. I am so sorry you had this experience but proud of you for standing your ground and leaving to do what’s best for you. Best of luck on the rest of your college career, you will be successful no matter what!!!

    Girl you deserve so much better. You are so real and raw and undeniably you! I have always been so inspired by you and no one should ever make you feel that way. It’s so horrible how these people in small college towns are so small minded and clearly have no sense of real life or the world around them outside of their college life. 💝💝💝

    Yes girl definitely do what is best for you- this should be the best 4 years of your life, and with all the bad experiences you’ve had there, it’s enough to back up your reasoning for making the switch. Plus I completely agree even when I was in hs I found it embarrassing finding out that people in college still think they have a “ranking” and I remember thinking like y’all are 18+… which means you’re adults… yet you still think like this? It’s actually mind blowing. But good luck to you and I hope that whatever school you end up at makes up for your first year!!❤

    I lived in California my whole life and I went to college on the East Coast. I hated my school and I felt so guilty for wanting to go back to California.

I promise things will get so much better.

    Hey girl, I transferred home from IU Bloomington after first semester! I hated so many of the hateful/privileged kids at IU and I had to get out bc they gave me major ick. I completelyyyyyy agree with how u related their sororities/frats as high school all over again, in a not good way, and I didn’t even rush. It’s just so many kids that had their parents wipe their ass until their 18th bday and I couldn’t relate and that’s okay🌟

    This really is a prime example of you never know what someone is truly going through or what something is really like behind the camera. Although I can not relate to what you've gone through there, I can relate to wanting something to work out so badly and things just keep happening. My freshman year of college was horrible from the very beginning. I attended Purdue University (which is also in Indiana lol). I'm no longer there now and still trying to figure things out/where to transfer to. I was also accepted into IU and your videos actually made me want to go. I've been watching your vids wishing that my freshman year could've gone like yours, without any awareness of what you've been facing. People are jerks and you didn't deserve any of that. With all that being said, I hope you have an amazing time wrapping up your freshman year surrounded by those people who make you happy!
