Ok so just wanted an opinion from anyone who'd like to give it...
It seems I have a problem where I need to change where I am constantly. I'm on my 4th college because I'll be somewhere and want to try something new. Right now I'm thinking about studying abroad because I know my 'rents will kill me if I transfer again! Haha it's been 3 times already! But I just feel I need to go somewhere new. I can't stay in one place for too long. Idk if this even makes sense, but any help would be great?
Do you know anyone like this? Why do you think they are the way they are? I'm just trying to figure myself out here! Thanks everyone!

I'm like that, well I used to be a lot worse than I am. I had a kid so it seems to have calmed my ever churning mind down a little, now I have to think of someone else. Eventually you'll find someplace where you're content for the moment, I'm sure you'll keep wanting more bigger better... But it calms down eventually, trust me. Have fun in the moment you're in, that's all that really matters really.

Not sure if this will help, if I'm right or if you want to hear it. i have the same trouble, I think you may be scared to fail at what you are doing so you change your course. OR you don't want to complete what you are doing because then you have to move on and actually start in the real world when you finish. Fear of committment, failure, or growing up. I am only 24 and have been there, had a baby, a business, a few houses, a bunch of jobs, couple of different majors and still confused. It happens. Just give your all to one thing and try it out further. The job won't be the same if you find that job at all as the classes that you took to get there. The career is always different, not always better, but hands on and real life than the boring classes that got you there.

I know a lot of people like you. Remember, no matter where you go, there you are!
What are you really running away from? You can't run away from yourself. However, you can change your thinking by changing your behavior. First, I recommend committing to a subject and no matter what seeing it through to the end. Once you have a degree, you can always go back later and modify it. Stay out of relationships and partying to much. This can just add confusion and unnecessary hardship.
Further, seeking professional help is not a bad idea if you really are concerned with this pattern of behavior.
Good Luck and Take Care

Carolyn,
I think you may want to consider seeing a psychologist about this. It almost sounds like you have some kind of deep seated fear of either completing things like your courses or are fearful of getting too familiar with the people around you. Instead of continuing to run from your problems maybe its time you confronted them head on with help of course. If you find a psychologist and it doesn't feel right to you look for another one. You don't always get a good match on the first try. Been there done that. Good Luck.

Get some counseling. Are you paying for college? If you are then you really need help to figure out how to grow up. If you are not then you are selfish and your parents need to take the Tough Love Approach with you.

personally i tend to run from my problems when things get too hard or boring or im expected to do something i just dont want to do i leave the situation to find a new one that seem at the time to better suit me...when you find yourself getting the urge to leave or move start paying close attention as to why you are feeling this way and im sure you will be able to solve your issue

You are simply running from something else.
I couldn't possibly tell you exactly what, but I would venture to say that is it responsibility in general.
The real world can be a bit scary if you have never had to deal with it.
Avoiding it will not make it go away.

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER.
But if you are young enough (18-20-22?) you have time to try out a few places and things before you settle down to a lifetime commitement of work. Follow your bliss. But you have to grow up eventually. Unless your 'rents are millionaires! Ha!
