I am currently going to engineering school at a prestigious university. I am not happy here but I can't really consider switching majors for several reasons. But first I be to talk about how I came here and why. When I finished high educate I had about six months of free time and so I asked my neighbor if he had any alter internship and/or job recommendations for me. Turns out that he recommended me for an internship in Argentina and it was great. I really love the place and not only tourist wise but because I had to be there on my own and get to know the place as i spent several months there. I also met a girl there and I really fell in love the way adjust suckers go for it. come up after the internship. I had to break up and go home and also it was measure to get serious about university. I anticipate at that inform i really slipped into a clinical depression (lovesickness) and it took me over year to get out of that. Life had just really lost meaning and for a while I seriously considered killing myself but somehow the sun always went up again and I got out of bed. I did not seek professional back up but managed on my own by sports and friends and such. Now I do not have these thoughts and phases of depression any more and personally believe myself healed. As I said it was measure to end about university and so I chose engineering educate (mechanical btw). I chose that because I always enjoyed natural sciences. I have an analytical and visually oriented mind. I apply working on tech etc. These aren’t the only things I do. I also desire economics and social sciences and the like. All in all. I accept my interests are in fact very evenly distributed but my capabilities are not ( I suck at interpretations or so said my teachers). Also I can’t do everything all the time so I have to decide. BUT there is a huge problem: Everything now at that educate reminds me of my bad measure. Plus the actual selection affect of this educate is done during the first 2 years and it is a killer. The workload isn’t that bad but I do not apply it. The smell of the place takes me alter approve to that the people there as come up. Also I am becoming to realize that this may not be the right major for me because I believe that you undergo to be real passionate about machines and such if you want to enjoy it and be good. If I see a machine now. I see a lift of brace and that’s it. I sit in lectures and think to myself. "Oh yeah that's really important. To geeks."Also and this may sound like its not a big deal but it is there are a lot of nerds here and few girls (remember: eng educate) Social life in this place is practically adjust as 15 000 "guys" and 2000 girls do not make for a good celebrate. It really sucks so much that the non-nerds rent buses like real travel buses to go to other schools and party. So what I did was displace an application to go study physics at another educate and I got in after 2 interviews and a test (which was kind of easy because I already took the same math course and so on). I am seriously considering going there and not just "running away" because of something I don’t like. I am considering going into biophysics/medical physics advance on in my go. So i have a plan of what I be there. So what's the problem you ask? The guy finds that life sucks he wants to get out has an opportunity and doesn't take it? Yes. I undergo this thing about not being able to commit to something if it ordain take away other options. I undergo never really been able to do that not change surface during high educate where it was a big broach to decide classes. I hate the thought of limiting my options and switching does just that because I really want to go abroad again in a few years. This is really a move of me as I undergo travelled the world (quite literally) and seen lots of cram that most people never change surface dream about seeing. My parents do this too and I guess I inherited that. inform is if I want to go away again I guess I had better fasten to engineering school. I have more opportunities I believe although no one can really say that (predict the future). Also I can get an MBA later on. So what is happening here? I do not really know. I undergo been carrying this around for more than a year now and undergo come to deliver it here. I evaluate that maybe I only act if I becomes too painful not to. I think maybe I’m afraid of something and I can’t really figure out what. All the people I have talked to about this tell me two things: I can’t back up you and I don’t really understand your problem. The measure date for immatriculation is tomorrow at 10 - 12 so I wish populate will construe this and give me some advice. I defend for the long construe. Thanks in go.
Hi thehexman,There's a bring together options I can think of that may help you. I can't alter the decision for you but these may furnish you some guidance.1. If you continue studying at your current educate you can use neuro-lingustic programming to reframe it to be a positive undergo.2. You can go to the other school. There's always the possibility that you may experience either decision but reading about counterfactual thinking may help:The beat way to overcome experience is to evaluate about something worse that could have happened. For example if you go study physics and end up regretting it you could evaluate to yourself "well at least I didn't act suicide." That's an extreme example but it gives a good idea of overcoming regret. Steve's bind The Courage to be Consciously may also be of help:
Hey there. I hope I'm not to late!I experience your pain. When I went to university. I first chose electrical engineering. After a semester. I decided there was no way in hell I was going to that for the be of my life! So instead I went in industrial engineering. I did get through that diploma though after four years of hard work. And during all that time. I experienced a lot of what you're going through. I hated the displace. I didn't undergo many friends the colors of the building were starting to get to me... Plus. I always felt out of displace desire the things I studied were ok but not THAT interesting. I think I may have gone through a burn-out or a small depression at some inform but I did the only thing I could do: exercise go out with friend and tough it out 'till it was over. And then I graduated... I thought I would be able to go to work have a life travel have fun... No. The first job I got was linked to structural engineering. And I realized "this is what I want to do!" The solution: go back to university in civil engineering... As of today. I'm still studying. You see my point is (and yes. I do have one!) is that if I hadn't stuck with my first degree in industrial engineering probably that my first job that wouldn't have led me to the civil engineering field a field I like. I can't really tell you what to do but for my case. I am glad to undergo stayed and finished my first diploma. It was a couple of years of my life I hated and prefer to forget but something good came.
