[quote=Anonymous]Two years ago, it was a bumpy road but she righted her self by the end of the school year.  She is a D1 athlete school (non-revenue sport).  It was a major adjustment for her, as everyone had similar talents.  Eventually, she became a starter but there was some drama around this as she displaced a senior.  She also felt the need to rush a sorority, even though her closest friends were not doing so.  This caused her lots of angst.  She called us up one day very upset.  She was very unhappy.

At the end of the day, she recognized that she was not being herself.  She had these preconceived notions of what one should do in college, even though some of them don't align to who she is as an individual.   She was never a follower and always more comfortable with a small group of friends.  She dropped out, which I guess pissed off some members of the sorority.

By the end of the year, she was in a great place and looking forward to her sophomore year.  She still lives with her freshman roommate.  [/quote]
