I've made the wrong choice (important, please read)

Hey, guys...

So, ehm... *sigh* As the title says: I've made the wrong choice. And it's quite a big deal...
Life is full of choices and decisions we have to make, and sometimes we up. I myself am really indecisive and I really hate that about myself, but that's not the point right now.

The thing is... Remember when I said I started uni and that it's a start of the new part of my life? Well, I quit. After the first week, I made a blog post telling how it was, but I guess wasn't being completely honest with myself. I kept telling myself that it was fun, but it wasn't really... I kept telling myself that it would be fun later on! But I lost hope quickly.

The people were nice, very nice even, and so were the teachers! Everything was fine, really, but... I chose the wrong 'major' (is that what u call it idk we call it a 'study' so ehm yeah). I very soon realized that the thing I chose certainly wasn't something that suited me, so I talked about it with my parents, which was very emotional because if I were to quit I had to wait a year to enroll in another uni.

But after a long discussion, I came to the conclusion that I was not happy with the choice I made. 

So...

I quit.

I quit uni in two weeks and I feel really embarrassed because of it and was very hesistant about making this blog post but I felt like telling you guys because else you would think I'm still in uni when I'm not.

Ugh, I feel so lost right now... I thought I had made the right decision... Of course I searched for help, and next Tuesday I have an appointment with someone who can help me figure what I DO want to do with my life because I have no ing idea.

So the coming year I'm going to work and earn some money, because of course I can't sit still at home. That would be a waste of time. I'm also going to try to get my driver's license! And my mom is going to teach me how to cook and take care of myself...

And then next year I'll hopefully make the right decision and enroll in a new uni with another major! Because I'm not planning to quit studying.

You are probably not having the same issue anymore but, I feel your struggle, I just recently changed my major to what I wanted rather than what my mother wanted and honestly it's been the best decision for me. Goodluck on your studies though^^ FIGHTING!!!!

Hello. I actually applaud your courage to follow what you really want; kudos for having supportive parents. I had the same situation before, when I finished HS I don't really know what major to take but I'm too afraid to ask my mom to postpone college for a year to make up my mind. (she'll be against it cuz she cares too much about what people reactions will be, being late is low key frowned upon :( ) So I ended up with a major that I would never even take if I have the choice. Alas, I'm on my last year now so I can't really complain, though I am planning on doing what I really want after I graduated and save money.

I hope you'll find what you really want to do! Fighting!

wow! I can say I used to be in your situation two years ago
this is supposed to be my third year in college and all my ex-highschool friends will be graduated soon
but just like you
I quit from my first college on my second weeks, they didn't suit me.
iT's not like I can't go through it but Business Management not my style
the worst part is... all of my high school friends thought that I'm still in that uni and when we're reunion last year, all of them are so shock when they found out that I'm quit from that uni and took another major that seems not like me (they thought)
but honestly, I love writing better than any other major but people around saying that there’s no use taking that major for my future, so I decided to go for IT instead

and one year later, I regret it too
I loves IT, but all the professor and staff and my friends really pissed me off
those people makes me despise my own decision
I really really want to quit now and choose literature as my major
but I don't want to waste another year too ㅠ.ㅠ but still, it isn't feels right at all

Whatever happens i hope that the decisions you make in life make you happy and you dont feel as lost anymore. Good luck with everything!! It's okay to be confused now, and embarrassed too. But always remember that what we think isnt what matters but how you feel!

You have your whole life ahead of you. Do what you think is right for you, and don't mind how others see you. It's best to learn what you want to learn, and even if you feel like you're taking a step back, remember there's always a reason for that. It may not seem like it but I swear something you think good will come out of it. For now, use this time to achieve any short term goals you'd like to achieve.

Just some positivity.

It's okay. We all have those moments. Consider this as a blessing in disguise, now you have nore time to think about yourself and what you really want to do. But always know that you're not alone, okay? Fighting author-nim!

don't be embarrassed with your state now honey, sure you'll take a longer time to finish you study since you'll be starting everything all over again but hey if you are taking longer steps, it doesn't mean you're quitting ^^ people make mistake, it's just abt how we comply and adjust to it in order to overcome it..
and i sincerely wish you good luck in everything you do <3 <3 <3

I think you actually made a smart choice. It's better to figure out now that you weren't in love with what you were studying than to find out later on, when you've already wasted so much time and money. It's happened to me, too, no worries! I was so embarrassed when I dropped out because I didn't want people to think I was just a quitter, but I just wasn't happy. And an even worse scenario, I have a couple friends who went all the way through and got their degrees and they hate it. They don't even want to work in the field that they have degrees in, so now they are kind of struggling. That's why I think it's a good thing that you you figured out early on. It's good to be happy with what you are studying. I think that's kind of the ultimate goal. I'm still kind of working on that myself, hehe.
