My advice is to pick something you love learning about. You will be dedicating a lot of time to it and it helps if you genuinely like what you’re putting your time into. I originally picked neuroscience but I hated it. I did not enjoy learning about it. It was just too hard. Then I switched to psychology which I LOVE. I also picked up a minor in fashion and design after taking a design course I really liked. It’s really about choosing things you know will make you happy.

Honestly when I entered college I had no ifea what to pick. I like writing but people encouraged me to sing and at times I wanted to be a lawyer or firefighter, I was all over the palce🤣. But I decided to take a class for a potential major (Creative Writing), and I found that I didn’t think of the homework as homework. I enjoyed submitting pieces and getting feedback and people enjoying my work. It just became natural that I wanted to continue it. So my advice (if that’s what you’re looking for) would be to narrow down some possible majors and pick a course from those to try it and see. If you have absolutely no clue what you wanna do that’s ok too! Look through the courses and if you see any that interest you, try it out! Idk if everyone’s decision of what to major in is natural or not, but if the homework doesn’t really feel like homework, maybe that’s a sign! Hope this helps!

I had originally went to university as a Bio-Med major but realized it wasn’t me. I shortly switched to Psychology because I remember really enjoying the subject when I was in high school so decided to go for it as a major 😊

I originally picked dental hygiene because I had no idea what I wanted, except to impress my parents. I quickly realized that it was not for me, i felt nauseous at the sight of anything in the mouth and I couldn't take it 🤣. My advice, take your gen eds first if you're undecided. That way, you have transferability to a 4 year uni. I am now about to graduate with two associate degrees cum laude, and then go into skincare and hopefully become a medical esthetician 🤞 Take as much time as you need to pick something you like, IT IS OKAY to not know and change your major. Wish someone would've told me that. Best of luck hun

Fun question! 😊
Not sure if this is OCD or ADHD or both, but sometimes I get really stuck on a topic to the point that it's obsessive and somewhat debilitating but still fun. Does anyone else get caught up on random topics (in a slightly unhealthy way)? This part of my mental health issues is one I don't mind as it has contributed a lot of joy to me through different fandoms and groups in my life. Just curious what obsessions (positive) you guys have and if you consider it a blessing, a curse or a blerse lol

Pls,answer
I know it can be kind of reassuring , but did your sexual orientation as a teenager stay with you until you became an adult or have it changed?

Hello everyone, Today I received my high school results and I got a score of 71%. At first, I didn’t feel very happy because I was expecting a higher grade since I wanted to study medicine or aviation and follow my dream. Right now, I’m also trying to heal, but my mom wants me to go to university. She said it would be a waste to lose a whole year without studying, and that it would be a waste of time. But honestly, I feel confused. Should I go to university or focus on my treatment until I gain more control over my symptoms? I struggle with sexual OCD, and I know university could be very triggering for me, especially since I’m still a beginner in my recovery. I’ve also thought about repeating the year to improve my score. My mom thinks that’s not a wise decision, and I also worry about money issues because I don’t want to be a burden on my family. I even searched for a job, but so far, I haven’t found one. Some of my friends even failed completely, so I know I should be grateful, but I still don’t know what to do. Do you have any useful advice? From your perspective, what would be the better path? I would really appreciate and respect your opinions.
