I just want to feel happy again?

...See more Okay I really do not like using the word hate, but I really am hating my life right now. It all revolves around school. I'm currently 21 years and in my fourth year of college, so I should be happy to be almost done and graduating right? Wrong. Last semester, I finally got the courage to apply to my school's nursing program (the school I had attended for the past 3 years). When I got the rejection letter, I felt empty inside and didn't talk to anyone about it for at least a week (and I still don't like to talk about it). And on top of all of this, my parents thought it was a good idea to just drop everything and move to Texas. They also started to apply to schools for me because I refused to do so. It seemed like they were so happy that I didn't get in to my first and only choice and that I could go live with them in Texas. No offense or anything, but Texas is not and will never be my home; California is where I grew up and plan on living for the rest of my life. Anyways, apparently I got into this new school's nursing program and even though this sounds bad and selfish, but I was hoping that I wouldn't get in so that I could go back home and study somewhere else. To be honest, if I'm really in this much mental pain, I don't know if coming out here to finish my degree is really worth it. And I know this sounds cliche but I feel like my family doesn't really understand what it's like for me right now. They basically tell me to "get over it".
