This is a random thread, but what do you do when things seem too difficult?
I am in the middle of university, and although I really do want to get my degree, I feel it is never ending! I have been here for 2 and a half years, and I just miss being at home so much. I go home often, but never want to come back!
I know it is important that I complete my education, as not only is it what I have always wanted, but so many others are expecting it from me too. But I just want it to be over quickly, so I can go home and be with my family
Quiting is no way an option for me because I do love it, plus I don’t think I could ever deal with all the disapointment from everyone. Its like my whole life is on hold, I want to complete this and get on with my life, but I have such a long road ahead! And there is no fastforward button!
It is getting more difficult now, so maybe that is why?
Motivation please, have you guys been away from home for such a number of years? What is it like to finally go home with your degree?
Can you get a transfer to the university or college which is closer to your home . You can go to attend your classes and come back home after your classes are over ?
Thanks guys,
Mirch - unfortunately not, you can't really transfer, I managed to get into all the schools that I applied to that were far away, but not the one closest to home, despite them being more competitive, life hey!
I am nearly half-way through, not quite yet. Inshallah it will be ok, but I just miss my mum & dad so much, and I hate missing special occasions.
Thanks Reha, the prize will be amazing alhumdulilla, but I am so impatient! I just want to be with my parents, I feel as though so much of life will have passed once I graduate, then shaadi and all.
What if I don't have any time to spend with my family? I miss being babied, I guess?
Start being a brat at home and your mom and dad will behave badly with you too that way you will not look forward to come back home and will not be so homesick. :D
you want to quit in the middle of your degree just because you want to be with your parents and siblings? Are you crazy? You know what, parents don't stay with us forever and so does our siblings, one day your siblings gonna have their own families and stuff and then you're gonna regret for not doing your degree and for not having a good job or whatever.
Awww, no I don't want to quit, I couldn't ever do that, I prayed and prayed to get on this course, plus I am not a quiter! But it is just times when it all gets a bit much, and I think things could be so much easier if I was at home with my parents, although it is true I wouldn't get a decent job! It seems as my life is so umm, organised for a better word. Like degree x many years, then shaadi then I don't know what will happen or what that will be like? When I could be with my parents right now without all that uncertainity.
Lol Mirch, I couldn't do that, I am my papa's pyaari beti. lol although if I told them I didn't want to do this anymore, they would perhaps love me a little less, lol.
I think I need perspective, I guess that is why I wanted to know what it is like to finally get the degree and go home :)
Alhumdullillah, I am happy I have got here, but it is such a long, and sometimes lonely road!
