lost child
-
dear aunt agony,
i feel so lost,,,, I just started my first year in university in
august,,, i used to love school, tests,,,, but now, i don't know what i'm
studying for... i hate school... hate the system... i really want to quit.
but my parents and friends and everyone i consulted advised me to carry
on studying,. blah blah blah...
i know that a cert is important... but...
some how, seeing my peers going to uni, gives me pressure to also
continue uni studies.
then, here in uni, i'm struggling to complete assignments. not that i
cannot take the stress. i've been more stressed before, when i was
preparing for my A levels.
i have ambitions like being a teacher, a nurse, a hair stylist.
i dislike what i am doing now.
So when i come back from school, i tend to frown, or sth like that. And
that brings misunderstandings. my mum thinks that i'm throwing tantrums
at her... And i just got scolded by her. Why can'y she understand me?
its not like she doesn't know what going through now. i've told her
about my present problem before.sympatize with me>
i don't know what to say now.....
my father took me to see my family doctor and he gave my some drugs
which can 'give me energy'.
anyway thanks for your time... sorry that this letter is not very
organised.... i'm quite disorientated at the moment..

and life goes on for one more stressed n bored Singaporean.

Sign up being a teacher is a good idea. They are still recruiting because of a huge number of pensioners leaving by end of this year. They do pay while you study so you don't have to depend too much on your parents. But are you able to tahan kids' nonsense?
If that's what you want then please pursue it. I rather you live life the way you want it rather than wasting it away trying to fulfill someone elses dream.
Be happy lah. Life is too short to be so down. Actually it seem like people around you care alot for you too. They also don't want you to make a wrong move and blame them for not warning you. -

err mayb u shouldn't gif urself toooo much stress, the more stress you gif urself the harder u try to perform in studies. dun worry so much abt the cert thing. as long as u do ur best, nothing should stop u. in Sg, without cert although is painful, but i m sure if u are hardworking that should be a way out.
Jus try your best dun push urself too hard

hey take it easi ok transitioning to university is not easy..but at least give urself 1 or 2 semester to have a feel of the system...I was quite frighten when I first entered uni..I didnt know if I will be thrown out..(no $ to go overseas..) but after 1st semester, I realise uni is actually less demanding thant A-levels...in Uni, to a certain extend, there is less pressure to do well...so want first class hours, some just want to pass...if u look at it..worst case scenario you can take 6 years to finish a 4-yr course...
stay in hostel or join some ECAs, see a diff side of Uni life and you might begin to feel better about it -
thanksa lot....
i think i will kan kai yi dian..... as long as i do my best..... even if don't do well also nvm.... this isn't de only path rite? -

just take things at ur pace lor
uni is more flexible than A levels...
if u feel u can't do it, just spread out ur modules more
u can still pursue ur dreams
just depends u willing to sacrifice or not...
I love arts, but i'm in engineering... not that i dun like engineering, i love both, but in sg, u have 2 choose, u can't be both an engineer and an artist... hahaa...
but that doesn't stop me from taking up outside classes in arts... and doing some freelance works just for the fun of it
it just means i have less weekends than most pple... -
in fact, i prefer jc life.......
somehow, i feel that it is close knitted.... very cosy environment
