i hate that i wasted my gov scholarship on a US university. I wish i can go back in time and tell myself to go to a country that respects me and doesn't treat me like a criminal
my overall experience has been awful, maybe because its a in a red state but i doubt it would've been drastically diff in other states. that and the uncertainty under this administration has made me feel hopeless for my future. I'm not sure what to do once i graduate. opt is looking bleak. so id be forced to go back to my home country living in toxic abusive household. I'm from a very conservative Muslim country where women still barely have any rights. studying abroad was my only hope of independence and a dignified future. now that i think about the only reason my dad allowed me to travel alone to the US (which he was pushing hard for me to apply for universities only there) because he knew this country is impossible to immigrate to, and id forced back crawling to my family like a loyal dog. sorry for the rant i needed to vent
