I’m trapped in my university (vent)
Hi everyone,
I didn’t know where else to go so I joined this app. One of problems in my life is that I’m trapped in a university I don’t like. I cannot leave it, because my family won’t let me. I can’t swap it with some course I actually like because it would cancel my free education and I can’t get scholarship, because one of the professors failed me.
In addition, everyone in the group ignores me. They treat me better than my school classmates, sure, but I feel like it wouldn’t make a difference to them if I stay or go.
It’s a nice university. It’s a prestige university. But I am not interested in it for a bit. Except for Italian lessons, maybe.
And now my mom is mad at me because we fought over that scholarship…

Hey, I am sorry that you are stuck in a school that you don't really want to be. Your feelings are completely valid. What would make it less stressful for you?
@greyAnn3015 Hi, sorry to hear what you are currently going through, seems like you feel overwhelmed and quite under pressure to make decisions? Happy to listen anytime, just drop me a message.
@greyAnn3015
I can hear how frustrating this situation must feel.
University can feel paradoxical at times: In one hand a world of countless learning possibilities, and in the other a cluster of locked doors due to various system rules.
I struggled with a similar requirement, where courses had to be considered part of a majors' graduation requirements to receive any aid.
Would you like to tell me more about what you are interested in? I am here to listen.

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with all of that at once. Feeling trapped academically and ignored socially is a lot for anyone, especially when family pressure is involved. I wish you the best! and if you ever need someone to talk to. I'm here!

Hey, I’m sorry that you're not where you really want to be. Being stuck in a place you didn’t choose, while feeling ignored and pressured by family, can be really heavy and your feelings are absolutely valid.
What part of this feels the hardest for you right now? If you feel like sharing and need someone to vent through, we're here for you:)
@greyAnn3015 Hello, I'm sorry to hear that you feel stuck in a situation that does not bring you happiness. It seems like you feel lonely and also frustrated because you're not enjoying something you're putting a lot of time and effort into. The combination between lack of support and a demanding university are two very stressful situations which would also make me frustrated, really, you are not alone in these feelings.
