i went to the wrong seminary for my needs, hated every minute of the actual sem, and tiyulim taken with sem, but i do not regrret going even for one minute! just being in the right atmosphere can do so much. i am definitely a better person in hashem’s view. its just the land the kedusha, the kosel, being away from most things that make it harder….. and, theres really no such thing as too much hashkafa….. no matter how much you’ve learnt, there’s always more to learn. were put herre on this world to grow, there’s no finish line. you gotta keep changing and becoming better.
and those of you talking about the ice cream, let them its the final year where they can still rely on daddys cc. give them the pleasure, real life starts real quick, and its merciless….:)
