I don't know if this is the best place to post this, but I don't know where else to... Does anyone else get jealous of people have more merch of your oshi? Especially when I see people on TikTok... There's this one content creator and I'm so jealous of him cause he has so much merch and a bigger following, etc. It's gotten to the point where I started to work on a more accurate physique so I can cosplay that character and also be associated with them (hopefully). I know this isn't normal but I just want to know if anyone else is like this and if there's any way to get over it. It's gotten to the point where I've considered blocking that person

I hope I'm flairing this right, I'm not sure if it was class or academics. I'm a sophomore planning to transfer to LSA, and I didn't take an AP language class in high school. I'm very interesting in learning Russian, I'm taking Russian culture this semester. I loved learning Russian history in my free time as well.

How difficult are the classes in general? I took Latin in highschool and I know Korean for some context. I tried teaching myself some Russian but I always get overwhelmed with trying to learn a language without someone guiding me.

I'm fine with anyone sharing their experiences with any language class as well!

Hello! As the title says, I'm debating on what professional school I want to go into. I want to do zoonotic spillover research, or anything that works with animals and healthcare (I'm open to other jobs. I don't mind a deskjob or anything in a lab, but I love being outside and would prefer that). My mom wants me to go to medical school, which I really don't want. I want to do vet school, but I'm afraid my mom will tell me to put that effort into medical school instead. She knows what I want to do, but I feel like she doesn't understand it fully. Unless I'm the one who doesn't know anything, please correct me if medical school is the best decision to make. I for sure want a PhD in public health or anything related to this field. I'm a sophomore in college and I just figured out what I wanted to do after years of having no goals or dreams, so I apologize if I sound a bit stupid. I have been doing my own research as well.

I'm not 100% sure if this is the right place to ask, but it's as the title says. I am a rising sophomore in college and I was formerly a sports management major (long story...I'm back to medicine now) I really want to work in a hospital, but am not certain if I want to see patients. I feel like I come off as very rude and blunt, and I don't think people want to have a doctor like that. I would like to do research in maybe epidemiology, but I don't know for sure. My grandfather has a PhD in public health and an MD, and has done many things for the WHO. He's the reason why I am considering public health since I've admired him for so long.
I have so many interests within medicine as well. I think cardiothoracic surgery is very interesting and I wanted to be a surgeon in that field. I also think that oncology is interesting. I also enjoy botany and ecology and want to learn more about how nature can affect human health. I have so many interests, I just don't know what to do. But I know I need to make a choice soon. I really am leaning towards medical school, but is it even worth it considering my interests? I am opening back up to the idea of becoming a surgeon, but I also have an eye disability so I don't know if I can even become a surgeon with it.
Idk this might've been a lot and I'd appreciate anyones words

I am currently a freshman studying sports management since I really enjoy soccer (please don't come at me for using soccer...) and F1 and I wanted to work in those fields. However, all throughout my high school career, I was focused in science. I had the goal of becoming a doctor so I took AP bio, AP calc, anatomy, etc. But during the summer, I changed my mind and changed my major. As I'm taking classes, I feel like it's not right for me. I am considering changing my major to psychology since I love psychology and I want to do research in it. I am not 100% sure why I didn't consider doing psychology, probably since I felt like I'd need to work with people like in therapy. I don't enjoy talking to others, which also contributes to my feelings that sports management isn't right for me. This is also more of a petty thing but I don't know much about football, baseball, basketball, etc. I grew up in an immigrant household so those sports weren't important to us. We would always watch soccer or swim since I was a swimmer. A lot of my classes seem to be geared towards football and baseball, and all of my classmates know so much about it. I don't know any of the big names or players in these sports. I know I can learn it, but it's like they had a whole lifetime to learn all of that stuff and I'm falling way behind. Everything about this major feels so off to me but I'm very hesitant on changing since I really like the idea of working in part of a sports team. I like both the idea of being a researcher for psychology and working on a sports team... but I think realistically researcher would be a better fit. I've been asking my friends how they figured out what they wanted to do, but a lot of them just focused on what they were good at and enjoyed. I want to switch soon since a lot of the credits don't have overlaps

How have you all figured out what you wanted to do? Or if you were in my situation, what would you pick?
