I don't think I've ever dropped the gospel of what happened in my life officially.
Short version:
- Fucked up Chem bad because too cut-and-dry and too much math, balls-to-the-wall gave up midway without telling anyone (not even myself apparently)
- Failed ALL MY EXAMS (except like two side courses)
- Spent my summer happily between "are you gonna partake in your reprise exams" and "what's your plan for next year" and other amazing questions like that I myself didn't know the answer to.
(prize for biggest fucking nonsense goes to my dad "Do you think you can get a job as an interpretor looking so trashy? So you're gonna waste my money four years for ajob you're not gonna do" ty daddy for being super supportive
)
- Turns out choosing your major is kind of harder when you're stressed as fuck with a dad breathing down your neck and everybody expecting you to swing and hit this time around because, allegedly, "I'm smart, college shouldn't be a problem"
How colleges work by my dad: If you're smart you win. If you lose it's cause you're not smart enough.
- Went for Dutch-English-Russian cause why the fuck not, really. Basically every aspect of studies that I wanted to do (Criminology, Sociology, Journalism, etc.) all popped up in some fashion or another in the introduction to Translator-Interpreter, but apparently the fact that I am making such a huge switch from Chemistry makes it a LESS desirable option? I am making a major change from a course where I did essentially nothing right just because of how the course was, why is that a bad thing?!
I honestly have a lot of things in my life going on and I have to wait for them to go away. I know this is my own fault but I can't do anything about any of them right now so I still feel shitty having to feel bad without being able to do anything.
