I'm in a predicament!!!!!
Basically, I finished my first year of college in May and ended the year in a bit of what was definitely some sort of mental health crisis. What's pertinent about this is that it ended in me deciding I should take a gap year between my first and second years. After having some time to gather my wits and giving it a lot of (very, very reluctant) consideration, I've finally accepted that I made a big mistake with this decision -- a week or so after the FAFSA was due. I'm not really sure what to do now, especially since on top of that I think that it would be for the best if I transfer to a different school. To be completely honest, I'm feeling very lost and don't even know where to start. My goal is to be able to go to college in the fall, ideally a different one than I did last year, ideally with financial aid, and ideally somewhere with a good English Lit program. Any pointers at all would be very helpful. Or...just tell it to me straight if I'm completely cooked. Thanks in advance :(
