omg tbh u literally just described me perfectly, it hurts
yeah i rlly wanted to got a better ranked school and i made my old school sound like garbage in terms of academics (i mean, it defs was compared to my current school, but not
that bad)
and yeah, in terms of friendships i had sooo many friends in my old school and i was just happier in the social aspect - everyone in my new school is like a whole new species of ppl… and idk, just they are not my type of ppl that i normally would socialise with
i guess i never realised how important my social circle meant for my happiness until i moved school
literally it took me A WHOLE TERM to get into a friend group at my new school and i guess i am much happier now in that aspect, but still… if i went back to my old school, i would literally end the friendship with the ppl at my new school immediately. like i am friends with them for the purpose of
having friends, they are not my type of people i would normally surround myself with
warning to anyone moving from like a 200+ ranked school to top 10: expect to be surrounded by a whole new species of ppl and have a whole new social circle which is nothing at all like your old school, and miss your old friends so much as you miss socialising with 200+ ranked type of ppl
ok thanks for listening to my little rant abt how being in a higher-ranked school doesn't necessarily equate to happiness in terms of friendships
