From the outside, we transfer students may look happy and content and adapting well to our new surroundings. Unfortunately, things are never as they seem.
Ten times out of ten, life sucks for the transfer student, but we don’t know anyone well enough to be consoled. Some things are implied when we tell you we’re transfer students. Next time, pick our hints up.
When I say I’m a transfer student, I’m really saying…
-I don’t care if you’re interested or not, you’re going to listen to me compare this school to my old one. It’s gunna happen.
-I have zero friends and I know no one.
-I was forced to room with a random for the second consecutive year and am not particularly psyched about it.
-I don’t know where anything is but have too much shame to ask.
-I’m eternally pissed that none of my credits transferred. Don’t bring it up.
-I’m no better than a freshman, but I will go out of my way to prevent them from learning that.
-Please hang out with me.
