Like, you wake up and have to face all these shitty situations. Talk nicely to people just cuz you're financially dependent on them even though you hate their guts.

Have to care about your looks, the way you talk, your bank account, all because of what? So you can buy a house and a car or so that someone could finally choose you? That's sad.

Before some religious people start commenting "Life is a test" and all that...

Let's say you pass your earthly test and get into heaven. Then what?

Do what with 72 virgins, lakes of milk and honey for eternity?

I genuinely don't see the point. When people say "Do what makes you happy" all I hear is "Find something you enjoy and keep doing it until you die."

Is there some other purpose that makes you push through life?

Or are y'all just living for the sake of living?

I got the opportunity to study at my dream university but not in my dream field.

I genuinely enjoy physics and astronomy but I've always imagined myself in engineering or another hands on practical field. I don't want to take a gap year.

My other option is to study Computer Science or FinTech at a government university but I don't really enjoy coding enough to commit to it as my main degree.

Lately I've been considering doing a BS in Physics with a minor in Electronics while learning programming on my own and building projects outside of university. My long term interests are in futuristic fields like quantum computing, nanotechnology and robotics so this combination seems like it could give me both the theoretical foundation and practical skills.

The only thing holding me back is that Reddit and other social media are full of people with physics degrees saying they're unemployed or regret their choice. It's making me second guess myself as I'm a human too and want high pay.

I'd really appreciate some honest advice. I'm a hardworking person so regardless of which path I choose I know I'll give it my best.

People saying, "Oh, I love animals," and treating them with kindness and kisses while also eating countless dishes of meat... where did the love for animals go now?

I just can't stand this. I feel so bad on Eid too. Everyone's dressing up and putting on makeup while some poor animals are being sacrificed. They feel pain too.

Are our morals only for those who can ask for morals?

I just think that's peak hypocrisy.

You cannot be an animal lover and a meat lover too.

Pick one and stop this bullshit.

Well, my parents are against me taking a gap year, so that means I'm going to CS at PU, which wasn't my first priority at all. It was NUST 🙄, but I didn't get the desired marks, so yeah. The thing is, I'm planning to give the SAT during my first semester. I can manage that, but the thing is that I want to go into Electrical Engineering as I want to pursue robotics and Yk, have a better social life. I'm not a fan of just learning software 😑 (it's boring).

Ok, enough rambling. The questions I want to ask are these:

• There's a high chance my 2nd year result would be bad as I was busy focusing on entrance tests, so would it be a problem if I retake one or two exams to Yk get higher FSC marks overall?

• I've heard that transfer students have a hard time getting into LUMS, so my question is would it be harder for me to Yk switch programs too as I'm gonna be doing CS at PU instead of EE?

• I've also heard that you need to maintain a high GPA too if you're applying.

• I also have no extracurricular activities except writing or singing

which I don't think would count.

I really wanted to go here and my parents finally agreed. So, my father drove me 5 hours to take the test but yk what test was really easy or that's what it seems to me (cuz I studied my ass off ok) I remember physics being really easy to me. One mistake that I made is that I spent some time thinking in English so when I started math portion at last 15 minutes 30 mcqs were left which I did complete without thinking much. I was expecting at least 140 marks cuz yeah my test went good and I was positive about it but yk what next day the result was horrible af. I'm not saying they gave me wrong Marks but is there a possibility they could. I've gave other uni tests too and achieved really good marks but this test has just downgraded me so bad that I can't stop thinking about it and searching about the mcqs that came in only to find I marked right that's what make me more sus about it. Plus now my relatives finally have topic to humiliate me. I wanted to come here to get rid of my toxic household but maybe I just don't have the brain or the luck ig (which hurts cuz I'm topper of my college 😞).

So, my family kinda already know I'm ex Muslim and have mostly liberal thoughts. That makes me "not one of them" . So whenever there an argument or any fight with someone over literally anything even if they're hearing it perfectly that other person is wrong they won't take my side at all and it didn't hurt at first but over every smallest talk I'm always wrong because if I'm considered right then I'm in right of leaving islam being liberal and vulgar (yeah they think that cuz I support LGBTQ).

It's got to the point where I feel so alone and sometimes even question myself. I don't know if anyone else has felt this way, when the people who are supposed to stand by you, especially your parents, won't take your side even against strangers.
