Should I leave or am I ruining my future??
Hello, I’m a first year student in NHSAST, it was my dream to study robotics engineering abroad yet I didn’t get the opportunity because I couldn’t find a university that was good for me either the country is bad or the tuition fees are too much. So I gave up to study in nhsast, at some point I was hesitant between it and polytech,because of the law they added recently that required you work 5 years in Algeria after graduation. Anyway I wish I’m not staying here until graduation.
But the problem here is that I feel very very overwhelmed and sad since I came here,I arrived this Saturday to stay in the residence and study,but I haven’t been feeling well at all,I’ve been sad,cry all day and sit in my room,I’ve stayed with my parents and siblings my whole life never stayed a day away from them and now it’s too hard for me to stay here and study,especially that I missed the few first lectures and people with me in class keep rushing professors and I understand nothing,so when I’m back in my room I barely can manage my time between studying and chores,and it’s making everything harder.
I’m thinking about freezing the year or changing the major,maybe I was never meant to be an engineer??, I don’t know but everything here is going very bad and I haven’t made any friends or anything so on top of all the pressure I’m lonely and I can’t stand it. I don’t know what I should do and if there’s a possibility I can change the major please tell me. And if you have any experience with anything I said tell me how you went through this period,maybe I’m capable but just sad?, I don’t know but I hate this experience so much that I’m thinking about giving up my studies. I haven’t told my family about any of it, they know it’s my dream to be a robotics engineer though and they were so happy I got accepted in nhsast,my father even cried that day. Please tell me what to do I feel lost
