I’m starting to think an out-of-state school would be better for my mental health.
There are a lot of microaggressions and macroaggressions I have to deal with on campus as a Black woman. For example, whenever there is group work, my ideas usually don’t get taken seriously until a white student rephrases it and claims it as their own.
It is important to learn to face them and stand up for yourself and make choices that give you the space to blossom into your full self. I don’t think that means you should take on more debt as you complete this leg of your education. I find it difficult to connect with these friends now because our priorities and interests are different. Whenever they bring up the topic of children or their significant others, I feel left out of the conversation, and it hurts.: Part of building your life and making choices includes growing into your interests and sometimes growing away from those of your friends. Sometimes your relationships can survive the differences, and sometimes not.
I recently spoke to a friend who has remained close to her friend group from college. She just went to six graduation events for her friends’ children. She is the only one who is unmarried, an entrepreneur and a globetrotter. She figured out how to have her independent life and stay close to the families that her friends built.
