Unfortunately, I went to college that was way over my head–Wellesley. I struggled immensely there and barely graduated. In high school, I was so captivated by prestige, that I did not think about what’s best for me. In high school, I liked science because it’s based on linear logic and struggled with English and History because they require synthesizing information and reading comprehension–my big weaknesses. However, in college I realized that I can’t do science because I hate lab and my grades in it weren’t great. I ended up graduating with a major in Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences but I did not really learn anything in it. It was a wrong major for me and I absolutely hated it but did not change because I wanted to graduate on time. Come to think of it, I did not learn much in college; I just struggled.

Now, my weaknesses impede me in getting a job. It seems like there is really a limited number of jobs that I can perform. My future does not really look good and I really don’t know what to do.
