<p>Oh, wow. Thank you so much for being so helpful, everyone! I was surprised to see how many people posted such valuable insight. I sincerely appreciate it!</p>
<p>I don’t think I can reply to everybody individually, but I really do feel thankful for everything.</p>
<p>Reading from other parents’ perspectives, I guess I can now sort of understand where my parents were getting at. And one of the posts that really stood out to me was “cptofthehouse” saying how my generation of kids seem to be more dependent on their parents. I’d have to sadly agree. I guess I’ll have to take this in as a positive opprotunity to grow up and change. I hate to admit it, but I’m one of those who tell their parents everything…but I’ll try to deal with my own problems now; better like an “adult” :)</p>
<p>midmo: I’m actually concerned about the opposite–what would happen if they were to have found this post online…!</p>
<p>SteveC: Yes, I’ve sort of considered changing my major to Religious Studies, and maybe go study into Law School or something. This would be from a purely intellectal point of view, since I grew up detached from any faith community. I find religion/thought to be really interesting, so maybe Religious Studies, maybe philosophy–but again, just a consideration at the point!</p>
<p>Pizzagirl: ironically–yes. My parents are immigrants. My father wanted to be a doctor, but his dreams for this developed late so I guess he sort of wanted me to follow his dreams. Or something of that matter?</p>
<p>And thank you ucbalumnus! I’ll check out the surveys right now!</p>
<p>And once again, thank you everybody so much. I feel a lot much better now. As for people’s concern about my mental health–I think I’m much better now after reading everybody’s posts. The fact that everything I thought I lived for suddenly being gone just sort of hit me hard. I’ll be fine though.</p>
<p>Thank you so much everyone!
I can’t thank everybody enough! You guys really saved my life :)</p>
