I'm feeling depressed. I have just about 4 months left to decide what I want to do at uni, and I STILL HAVE NO FKING IDEA. Ah crap. Starting to feel really pressured and frustrated. The courses I want to do, I'm crap at and are termed as 'futureless' (aka music). Those others want/expect me to do, I don't like (medicine, dentistry, law, engineering...). I could probably get into nearly every course with my current grades, but I don't know which one. Am very tempted to start cursing and swearing, but it won't help me decide what I want to do. And the fact that everyone, the teachers, parents and peers, expect me to do something 'professional' makes it even harder. The constant pressure of getting good grades and their expectations are sometimes very hard to deal with. They always say it depends on where I want to go but really, it isn't. If I said I'd go to TAFE (something like ITE in sg) after high school, I think they'd rather kill me than let me do so. Everyone always expects me to pass high school with flying colours, go to uni (Both TD and VB asked me what I wanted to do at UNI during pt-meeting instead of what I wanted to do after school), complete some hard-assed course, get a high-paying job, earn a mountain of money. But is that all to life? Being extremely unhappy just to please society and earn mountains of money? Only pursue your dreams if they're the same as that of society's? Oh yes, of course, I should embrace the opportunities given to me and harness the gifts that were granted to me by God. Even if it's at the expense of myself, I should think of the 'greater good'. Why is life always so hard? 3:40 PM
