She Sacrificed Going To Her Dream College So She Could Go To The Same One As Her Best Friend, Only To Find Out Her Best Friend Is Pregnant And Might Not Be Finishing School Now
I’ve heard stories of people who chose to go to a specific college or school so they could be closer to a friend or partner. Unfortunately, a lot of those people ended up regretting that decision.
One young woman is reeling after she sacrificed going to her dream college so she could attend the same one as her best friend, only to find out that her friend is pregnant and might not be able to finish school.
She and her best friend Jane are both 18-years-old. They’ve known each other for as long as they can remember, as their moms were friends while they were pregnant.
She and Jane attended school together throughout their childhood. When they were younger, Jane briefly lived at her house while her parents were getting a divorce.
After everything they’ve been through, they feel more like sisters than friends. She always felt like she’d do anything for Jane.
During their senior year of high school, she got two great offers from different colleges. One was a large in-state school, and the other was a prestigious out-of-state school that offered her a big scholarship. It was always her dream to go to school away from home and find a new place where she belongs.
She was leaning toward choosing the out-of-state school until she found out that Jane was going to the in-state school. Jane was really upset by her leaving and told her she wanted them to room together.
Because Jane is her best friend, she felt pressured to stay and committed to the in-state school. She spent an absurd amount of money on their dorm room and has settled in. Unfortunately, it’s not her dream school by any means.
“I have tried to stay positive, though each day I regret the decision I made to stay,” she said.

“I hate the college I chose. But I always remind myself that I did it for my friend, and at least we’d be in it together.”
However, everything recently changed when Jane revealed that she was pregnant.
For the last few months, she’s been warning Jane about how reckless she had been, but Jane never learned and never took the right steps to protect herself.
“Jane is a chronic idiot, and I know that now,” she said.
“She doesn’t listen; she thinks she has some kind of immunity to harm and now is crying at my doorstep over the situation she got herself into. I have zero sympathy. Not only that but I kind of hate her for it.”
When she found out Jane was pregnant, she was furious. Although Jane was very scared in the moment, she couldn’t hold back from yelling at her.
She told Jane she gave up her dream school so they could stick together, and now it was as if she had done it all for nothing.
Because of the state they’re in and Jane’s conservative parents, Jane feels pressured to keep her baby, which means she won’t be finishing school at the same time as her, if ever.
Jane told her she was being cruel for yelling at her for the mistake she made, but she was still so angry.
While she doesn’t want to judge teen mothers, she spent so much time and energy warning Jane to be careful, only for this to happen.
“I’ve supported her through thick and thin for years, but my patience is up,” she added.
“I feel that because of her, I’m stuck in the state I dream to get out of, and there was no point in my decision at all.”
Was she wrong to yell at Jane, or did Jane deserve the scolding?
