Don't know what to do.

I want you to know this, and remember it: A whole world of opportunities is in front of you for a great life. You’ve just been thrown a curve ball. You absolutely need to speak to a counselor at school, and also your advisor. Maybe even the RA in your dorm? Get some help. It is hard for most of us to get help, but it is the right thing to do. Lots of people take a detour from their initial plans.

There’s no reason you have to live up to anyone’s expectations. The whole point of college is for you to get the tools you need to do something you want to do with your life. If you aren’t getting the tools, it isn’t working.

I don’t know your parents, but I think most parents just want their kids to grow up to find something they like to do, be able to have a family, have interests and friends. College is supposed to contribute that. Please, take the time right now to call the school’s counseling office and your advisor and make appointments.
