18-year-old girl fails the college entrance exam and can only apply to a junior college, torn between what major to study By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

This year's college entrance examination only scored a little over 450 points. As an arts student, the majors I can apply for are very limited. My parents were very angry at first because of my grades. My family all thought I could go to undergraduate school, but I didn't even reach the second tier line. When the results came out, my mom received a lot of phone calls about my grades. Everyone thought I was unmotivated, and I was very sad. My mom also criticized me. I cried a lot in the morning, thinking about a lot of things, and feeling that my parents were very disappointed in me. The next day, my mom worried about my major and asked others for advice. They suggested that I apply for nursing or teaching majors. In fact, I was originally more interested in language majors, but language majors are not easy to get a job in, and my education level is not comparable. I would have a hard time finding a job. After a day of persuasion, I also felt that studying nursing seemed not impossible, but I was actually worried that I would regret it if I went for it. I felt sad that I didn't think I could do it. I was afraid that I had made the wrong decision and that I wouldn't like the major. In fact, my teacher said, I don't know what I'm really interested in anymore.

My child, I can see that you are confused, so let me give you a hug. You were very sad when your exam results were not good, and your family did not understand how you felt, but now you know that you can do better next time.

But now I have finally turned over a new leaf and am excited to focus on applying to a major!

I think you should definitely take a professional aptitude test! It'll be a great way to match your interests, strengths, personal characteristics, and social needs.

Now, I'll share my personal opinion. Both the nursing and teaching programs recommended by your family are great, but your true passion lies in the language field. I believe it's best to follow your heart, even if it might take a little more time to find employment. That's based on the fact that you're only at the junior college level. It's true that technical majors with strong practical skills are often in high demand.

So, what's the point? The point is that if you love your major, you'll study harder, pay more attention, and have more confidence. And when it comes to employment, you'll definitely need to further improve your education in the future. But if you follow the path you love, you'll go wider and farther, and you won't need to persevere as hard!

On the other hand, if you choose a nursing major you don't like, you'll find it much more difficult to find employment. The key is that you don't want to improve yourself yet. Nursing is a position that saves lives and helps the sick. Someone who doesn't love it or is not good at it is extremely irresponsible to themselves and to the patients.

I really hope this is useful for you!

Good day, landlord. I understand that you are still disappointed about not passing the college entrance exam. It is evident that you are feeling a sense of self-blame, particularly given your parents' disappointment and your own emotional distress.

As with any individual, your parents will be proud of you if you succeed in your chosen field. However, you are currently facing the challenge of selecting a major.

I can share with you that my daughter completed the college entrance exam last year and her results were not as strong as we had hoped. The major is not her preferred choice, but she has demonstrated consistent progress over the past year.

She was awarded a second-class scholarship during the first semester and is currently striving to attain a first-class scholarship during the current semester. Additionally, she has acquired proficiency in guitar performance and composition during her leisure time and is actively engaged in participating in various academic competitions at her educational institution.

If you are not contemplating repeating the academic year, we offer the following advice from individuals who have previously navigated this process.

1. There are numerous application software (apps) on the market. We suggest purchasing one. The cost is reasonable, and the objective is to save time and avoid the need to search for a significant amount of historical data for comparison. Identify the school that aligns with your score from this list, and categorize it within one of three tiers: high, medium, or low.

It is also advisable to familiarise yourself with the content of various admission lectures and tutorials. This will provide valuable insight into the majors that liberal arts candidates apply for and which unpopular majors may offer promising future prospects.

2. If you are currently unable to attend a university, it is advisable to begin preparing for a transfer from a junior college. This allows you the flexibility to explore a wider range of majors.

3. Additionally, you may wish to consider the possibility of taking the civil service exam, the teaching qualification exam, or the postgraduate entrance exam in the future. Setting a long-term goal will help you to clarify your current choices.

Life is a marathon, and even if we are currently behind schedule, there are still plenty of opportunities to catch up. We are now facing a time of change and uncertainty, and the same applies to employment.

In both work and academic settings, a strong interest in a subject is the most effective teacher. It is also a source of immense satisfaction to work hard for something you are genuinely interested in.

Persevere and maintain an optimistic outlook. You will undoubtedly reap the benefits of your efforts in due course.

Hello, questioner!

Let me start by summarizing your thoughts. I can see that you're feeling a bit hesitant about your future major because you want to make your parents proud and you also want a great future for yourself. From what I can tell, you're interested in choosing Chinese language, which is a fantastic idea! I can also see that you're wondering whether you'll be able to stick with the Chinese language major in the future. You're right to be cautious, as it's not always easy to find a job in the future. But that's why I'm here to support you!

But at the same time, you have this feeling that you can do it, even if you're not sure if you can persevere.

In fact, I want to tell you that not everyone has a clear idea of their future career. But that's okay! Many people love the job they do. Some people even fall in love with a career after entering it by mistake.

The most important thing is to maintain an optimistic and studious attitude, and a love of life in any career. I know a former colleague who studied police science at university, but by a strange twist of fate, he ended up in the forensic science profession. No one expected him to stick with it for decades, but this shows us that in the future, no matter what career you choose, you must maintain a love of it.

As for your worries, that's only natural, but life is full of challenges. And that's a good thing! A life without challenges is not a life at all. So just go for it!

If you're a girl, nursing is a great choice! You can advance your academic qualifications in so many ways. You can take undergraduate exams, postgraduate exams, and even doctoral exams!

Make a rough plan for your life and just go with it! Don't be afraid, because anything is possible!

Hello, I'm Qiaomu, and I love seeing a face when I see a character!

Hearing about your problems is like seeing the confused you from the past. It seems that everyone has experienced being at a loss for what to do when faced with a choice, and they have also made the wrong decision and regretted it. But it's okay! These are all valuable assets in life.

You've already heard the result of your college entrance exam, and now it's time to move on to the next step! Here are some suggestions from me that I hope will be helpful to you:

1️⃣ Measure what you like, what you like, and what you are good at! These things can help you persist and break through more easily in your future studies. Every industry has people at the top of the pyramid, so persistence and deliberate practice are the foundation for long-term development in an industry.

2️⃣ Make a plan, sort out your thoughts, and start again. Junior college is a great thing! Many professional and technical talents come from junior colleges, and as long as you delve deeply into a field, you will succeed at any time.

3️⃣ Face yourself, face the doubts, and face your feelings. You may be experiencing an unpleasant experience because you didn't do well in the exam, and the more or less disappointment of the people around you may make you feel uncomfortable. But you can do this! At this time, what you need to do is face these voices head-on, and then look firmly forward. Don't dwell too much on the past, because both the good and the bad voices will disappear with time. The focus is on the current you, and you're doing great!

Look forward to a bright future!

Applying for college is a very exciting time! I'm sure many people are feeling the rush right now.

What major to choose, what interests you, what is good for employment, what you are good at, what is suitable... Everyone considers different factors. No matter what the considerations are, you must be truly willing to study and recognize the major, after all, it is related to four years of university and even your career development for the next few decades. And it's going to be one of the best four years of your life!

Filling out an application form is a great way to explore yourself! Think about your interests, your strengths, and the kind of person you want to become.

Many students may not have thought about these questions before, but there's no need to worry! You can easily find out what your interests are by observing the details of your own life. For example, think about the entertainment programs you usually like to watch, your favorite leisure activity, and who your idol is.

Now for the fun part! It's time to explore your interests.

There are so many ways to find out what your interests are! You can actually observe more from the details of your own life. For example:

What entertainment programs do you absolutely love to watch?

What's your favorite leisure activity?

Who is your idol?

When was the absolute best moment of your life?

Now, ask yourself a few more "why" questions: Why do you like it? What attracts you? By analyzing the situation, you'll find the things that really impress you!

These are all things we can celebrate as our interests and strengths! As the saying goes, "a different field is like a different mountain," and the content learned in different majors and the future occupations are very different. If you can clarify your interests and strengths in your college application, and find a direction that you like and are good at, it will be very beneficial to your future development!

Now for the fun part! It's time to do your homework on filling out the college application.

If you're not sure what you like right now, then get out there and find out! Collect as much information as you can.

There are so many options out there! What are the other possibilities? What does each one involve? What are the different career paths? What are the employment prospects? Which cities have the best schools? The more options you have in mind, the more naturally you will be able to find one that appeals to you.

◆◆◆ 3. Look five years ahead and think about the future work environment.

Your grades may not be the best, but that doesn't mean you can't go to college! You might feel like your education level is too low, but you can absolutely make a change. Your parents have great advice, and a nursing major could be a great fit for you.

In this regard, I have two exciting reminders for you!

First, the nursing profession is more technical and it is easier to find a job in the same field. But can you accept the content and intensity of the work?

I highly recommend that you learn more about the amazing career prospects of the nursing profession and listen to the experiences of those already working in the field. These days, many university students choose majors that are completely unrelated to their careers. One of the reasons for this is that when they're choosing a major, they consider career prospects, but when they actually start working, they realize that the actual content and intensity of the work isn't for them.

So, it's still a long way from being easy to find a job and one that's perfect for you. But don't worry! This point should be judged according to your own situation.

Second, don't let your current college degree hold you back! There are so many examples of people who have gone from a junior college degree to a master's degree or even a doctorate. You might think your starting point is low, but there's still a chance you can catch up in the future. And just because you're currently attending a school that doesn't mean you won't be able to get into a prestigious school for a master's or doctorate in the future!

So, don't rule out the possibility of your future development just yet! It's definitely one of the factors you should consider when choosing a major.

College application is a very personal journey. Everyone's situation is unique, and the factors that influence your choice of major can vary widely. The good news is that you can take control of this exciting process by understanding yourself as comprehensively as possible, gathering as much information as possible, and knowing yourself and your opponent. This will help you make a choice that will be decisive for your future!

Best of luck!

Let's be real, when it's time to fill out the college application form, nobody's saying they definitely won't regret it. We're human, and it's easy to regret things we've done.

Our reality is imperfect and unfair. The decision was the best one possible at the time, given the circumstances and the information available. It may have been the best decision at the time, but things are different now.

You are an adult now, and you know your college entrance exam scores and what direction you can go in. You may also know some majors that interest you, but a major that interests you does not guarantee you a good job.

We choose a major so that we can have a reliable job that will make our lives easier in the future.

If you fail the college entrance exam, you can only apply to a junior college. As the Chinese proverb says, "Misfortunes often bring blessings in disguise." While you are struggling with your decision, time is slowly passing.

You will regret this decision if you make it. Even if you choose Tsinghua or Peking University today, and your score is over 700 points, you may encounter some better options later, and you will still regret it.

Your parents may have high expectations of you, but I can't go back in time through a time machine. I can't say that I'll start studying again now because the pressure would be overwhelming.

Everyone else thinks you're lazy and that you didn't do your best. So, you need to ask yourself: are your grades feasible?

Are they what you expected?

You know your level best. If you can accept your current score and make a college entrance exam application, this will help you find a better job.

Your parents and other relatives can also provide valuable input. You have the option of pursuing a degree in nursing, teacher training, new energy, or a related field such as journalism or media studies.

Search online for liberal arts majors you can apply for. You'll find plenty of options, and you can choose several parallel majors on the college entrance exam application.

If you are accepted into one of these majors, you will have to work hard. This is not the end, it is only the beginning.

Your parents may be disappointed in you, but your life will continue. Your journey has just begun. You are only 18 years old, just becoming an adult, and the road ahead is still long. They suggest that you apply to nursing or teaching programs. If you don't feel particularly interested in these things, then you can search for them to see what other majors are like and what their employment prospects are like.

Your choices and your parents' choices don't have to contradict each other. They can be complementary. You don't have to listen to all your parents' words. You have your own decisions to make. Everyone has their own values. Zhang San and Li Si may not think this major is good, but with the development of time, we have a forward-looking perspective on the future and can see its development prospects.

Many people are applying to study psychology, despite the current employment situation for psychologists, the cancellation of relevant certificates, and the lack of new policies. Everyone has their own interests and ideas. Find your interest and hobby, and you'll be able to find something you can do in the future. Keep identifying with it and specializing in it, and you'll succeed.

As a professional heart exploration coach, I strongly recommend you read "Mind Breakout: Restructuring the Underlying Logic of the Mind," "Incredible Creativity," and "Critical Change: How to Achieve Self-Transformation."

May I suggest that we offer the poster some comfort from afar?

The questioner's description:

I scored just over 450 points on this year's college entrance exam, which unfortunately limits my options for majors within the arts.

They expressed concern about my choice of major. It turned out that I was more interested in a language-related major, but language majors often face challenges in finding employment, and my own qualifications are not directly comparable, so I may have difficulty finding a job.

After a day of discussion, I have come to the conclusion that studying nursing is a viable option. However, I am concerned that I may regret my decision in the future.

I'm concerned that I might make an unfavorable choice, that I may not be enthusiastic about the major, and that I'm uncertain about my genuine interests.

Words to the questioner:

It is often the case that parents want to protect their children and make decisions on their behalf.

If our ideas don't align with their expectations, they may try various approaches to influence our decision. They might even convince us that we're not suited for those activities.

Every family has a parent who is perhaps a little more anxious than they should be, and your family is no exception. You may have had a preference for something, but your parents may not have been entirely convinced. They may have had their own reasons for suggesting otherwise.

I feel this may be crossing a line and could potentially infringe on your personal human rights.

We are all individuals with our own thoughts and aspirations.

If parents are too involved in their children's lives, it can make it difficult for children to figure out what they truly want.

When we were young, our parents always took good care of us, but at the same time, they may have inadvertently made it challenging for us to fully mature.

You may wish to consider choosing whatever you like and not paying any attention to your parents' opinions. It is not uncommon for university graduates to pursue careers outside of their field of study after graduation.

There are many possibilities open to you with a language major. It is important to find the one that suits you best.

It is not always easy to know how many occupations in the world will match your major when you are in school. The future is not always clear, and neither are the options that your parents see for you.

It's not always easy to make the right decision, but it's important to do what we believe is right without regret. We should accept the consequences of our choices and not worry too much about things that are beyond our control.

Hello, young lady. I can see you're feeling a bit confused, so I just wanted to give you a hug!

I can see that you are facing some challenges in your career. Please accept my sincere encouragement and support.

It is important to remember that failure in the college entrance exam does not necessarily mean the end of one's academic journey.

I also had the misfortune of failing the college entrance exam, after which I pursued studies in languages, specifically translation.

My classmates also faced similar challenges and pursued studies in languages.

I believe there are two possibilities. After they graduated, they went on to get a teaching diploma.

Then, they pursued careers as English teachers in secondary schools in Hong Kong.

I believe they have both been teachers for at least 10 years now, and their jobs are relatively stable.

Ultimately, it depends on you.

If you're unsure, you might find it helpful to take a paid MBTI career personality test here on the platform.

Ideally, your choice of major should align with your personality.

If you are more outgoing, you might consider a teaching major.

However, if you are more introverted, you might want to think about whether this is the right path for you. You might want to consider other options like accounting or computer programming.

I truly hope that the issue you're facing can be resolved as soon as possible.

I'm afraid I can only think of these things at the moment.

I hope my above answer is helpful and inspiring to you, girl. I'm happy to be of assistance in any way I can.

Here at Yixinli, we extend our warmest regards to you and wish you the best.

Hello, questioner!

After 12 years of study, you've reached a turning point. It hasn't been easy. You haven't been sitting at a desk or waiting for things to happen. You've been working hard to prepare for the future. You've studied every minute of every day. Your parents and I have been fine, but you haven't had an easy time. Every family is like this. We've all been working hard. We should hug each other now.

Anyway, 12 years have finally come to an end. We're all a bit sad about it, to be honest. When I heard about the breakup, your mom was pretty critical, which made you cry all morning. I really feel for you and give you a hug!

I think your mother was probably also pretty critical of you that day because she had high expectations and thought you could get into a second-tier university. From the fact that she immediately thought about how you should choose a major the next day, I think your mother has adjusted her emotions. She also knows that the past 12 years have not been easy for you, so I think that now that we have cried and let our emotions out, we should move on.

I think you're trying your best to learn. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. As long as you've given it your all, that's all that matters. Don't feel too sorry for your parents. If you think your mother is right, you still have potential to develop. If you didn't study as hard as you could because you were young or something else got in the way, that's okay. It's just a point in time.

No matter which school we go to—whether it's a specialized teacher training school or nursing—we'll still have to study in the future. But as long as we can tap our potential in the years to come, we'll have done our best and there'll be no regrets. We'll have done right by our parents. It's impossible for everyone to become a scientist; there are still more of us ordinary people. This is the reality we have to face.

If we don't dwell on this and can be at peace with ourselves, I think your professional problems should also be resolved. I can see that after your family did their work, you are also a bit tempted to become a nursing professional. From what I've heard, the nursing profession is pretty good. I have a colleague whose daughter scored more than 340 points on the college entrance exam! He was also very torn at the time. Her personality was a bit introverted. Now, she has graduated from nursing school. The initial confusion and unease have gradually been overcome over the past two years.

I think it's normal to worry about it now and to be afraid of regret. Not to mention that you also have your favorite language. In my personal experience, it's really not easy to find a job in the language field. For nursing majors, if you have good connections at home, it's not a problem to arrange a job in a hospital. This kind of job is stable and actually pretty good.

Our future world is a parallel one. Once we've made a choice, we can't go back. So, if we're worried about regret, and we've already made a choice, we should stop worrying and stop thinking about whether we'll regret it. In other words, we should focus on making money, be sure of our own feelings, and then we can say that we'll build a bridge over the mountain if we encounter one, and cross the river if we encounter water. Then, I think you'll definitely go from strength to strength in the nursing profession.

From my perspective, why do we feel regret? It's probably because we chose this path with our parents' input, our personal interests weren't considered, and we faced some minor challenges while studying. We humans are good at making excuses, but we also have a responsibility to accept the consequences of our choices. So, we'll feel like it would've been better if we hadn't chosen this path. It's all up to the parents. If we regret this choice, we won't be happy with this major. If this is the case, what was once a little difficult will also feel like an increasing difficulty.

So, at the end of the day, I'd like you to make up your mind. There are factors that your parents may try to persuade you with, but the key is in your hands. You also said that you don't know where your interests lie. In fact, you're not the only one who feels this way. We all feel the same way. Some things may seem interesting at first, but then you may lose interest in them after getting started. However, some things may not seem interesting at first, but as you continue, you may find that they become more and more interesting. The difference lies in our own determination.

I have every confidence that you will make the right choice and that your future life will be better and better.

I love you, and I think the world loves you too!

Hello, question asker!

It's tough to give you advice on your major in just 300 words or so. Even so, I hope we can chat more and I'll be there for you as you explore different options when you're feeling down.

"You're still a great kid, even if you don't make the cut on the college entrance exam."

It's tough to see that you, who were originally thought by your family to be able to get into a university, can only apply for a junior college after the results come out. You have to adjust to your sense of loss, face your parents' criticism, and consider the feelings of your family members. The college entrance examination is just one experience in life, and at the age of 18, you are still a good child.

You've still got a long life ahead of you, plenty of time to study, work and live, and to make the most of yourself.

[Professional filling in requires professionals]

Picking a major isn't just about choosing where to study for the next few years. It's also about choosing the industry and position you'll work in after graduation. There's an up-voter on Bilibili called "Teacher Zhang Xuefeng." I've watched his videos about filling out the college entrance exam application, and he talks a lot about the reality of studying and employment in various majors.

There are lots of professionals like this, both online and offline, and we can use them effectively to help us think more broadly about our choices and make choices that are more suitable for us.

Maturity means taking responsibility for your own choices.

You're facing a lot of confusion and worry right now, but you're already an adult at 18, so you can be responsible for the choices you make. If you just listen to your parents' advice today, you might regret it later.

However, when you make a decision after careful consideration, even if the final choice is the same as your parents' advice, you're much less likely to regret it. You'll take responsibility for your own life. A person who is responsible for themselves can be independent and brave in pursuing their dreams and happiness.

I hope the original poster can adjust their mindset, start over, complete their studies successfully, and live a carefree life!

I can imagine how you must be feeling right now. It's not easy to fail the college entrance exam, especially when you're as disappointed as your family is. I'm here for you if you need a hug.

Due to your less than optimal results on the college entrance examination, you faced some challenges in selecting a major. You had initially considered pursuing nursing, but your score did not meet the minimum requirements. Your family provided guidance in selecting nursing and teaching majors.

And you may not be entirely satisfied with your choice. Making decisions between what we like and what we can do is a challenge that many of us face.

After all, everyone wants to do what they enjoy.

It is worth noting that our preferences may not always align with our capabilities. This is a common reality in life.

It is important to remember that there are many limitations in reality, as you are currently experiencing.

Nursing and teaching may not be your ideal choice, but they are the options available to you at the moment. You enjoy language subjects, but you're concerned about the future job market.

It might be helpful to consider that there are language-related jobs in the teacher training field. For example, Chinese and English are both language-related jobs.

Additionally, pursuing studies at a regular school does not necessarily require one to become a teacher. Similarly, if one were to study nursing, it would not be mandatory to become a nurse.

If you were to major in Chinese at a normal school, you would have the option of obtaining a diploma if you did well in school and then taking a college entrance exam.

Your career possibilities are quite extensive.

It is not uncommon for people to pursue a major that is not directly related to their future career. Attending university is often seen as an opportunity to gain valuable life experience and broaden one's horizons.

It is worth noting that, in general, we attend primary school, junior high school, and high school in proximity to our place of residence. Our social circles tend to align with the areas where our parents live.

When we go to university, we often find ourselves in new social situations, which can be a valuable opportunity to expand our human resources and embrace different perspectives.

I believe this is an important value of university. It is perhaps worth noting that university is not vocational education.

If I may, I would like to share my experience of pursuing higher education. During my secondary education, I developed a keen interest in the sciences.

When the time came to apply to university, I decided to pursue a degree in education. At the time, there were several factors that influenced my decision, including the fact that tuition was free and the state subsidized living expenses.

Other schools have the added responsibility of bearing the living expenses themselves. Attending normal school can be a significant financial benefit for the family.

Subsequently, I completed my education and pursued a career in education, but I developed an interest in psychology. Once I had secured employment and started earning my own salary, I decided to return to school.

I am grateful for this opportunity to address your questions. It is worth noting that many esteemed academic institutions in our country offer a significant number of open classes.

These open classes are all free and have first-class teaching resources. You may find it beneficial to cultivate your interests and hobbies on top of completing your studies.

While your choice is an important one, it is not the most important thing. The key is that after you make a choice, you must be able to take responsibility for the consequences. How a person lives his or her life is not determined by this one choice.

I hope this is helpful. Life is always full of color, and it's worth believing that as long as we are in this world, we will encounter both rainbows and sunshine.

I would like to express my love for the world and for you.

Good day. I am Qu Huidong, a psychological counselor who employs imagery in my practice.

From your question, I can infer that you are a mother who frequently complains to others about your grades while hiding away and crying in silence. It seems that your family and you have always placed great hopes on this college entrance exam. Perhaps the excessive expectations placed on you have led to a greater pressure, ultimately resulting in failure in the college entrance exam.

When faced with the decision of which major to pursue, the more challenging choice is determining whether to continue seeking guidance from your parents or to rely on your own judgment.

From your description, it is evident that your parents are still supportive of you, despite their initial objections. Instead of simply acquiescing or becoming entangled in the situation, it is advisable to engage in a constructive dialogue with your parents to explore the potential options.

As an example, you can create a comprehensive list of potential options on a large sheet of paper and then systematically analyze each one to identify potential outcomes. College and university websites typically provide detailed information about the professional backgrounds of notable alumni.

After completing junior college, students may wish to pursue further studies. This may involve transferring to a bachelor's program, working for two years, and then taking the postgraduate entrance exam.

It is crucial to engage in a family discussion on this matter to ensure that all members have a chance to express their opinions and feelings. This will help transform a perceived obligation into a personal decision.

Dear Poster, Based on your description, I empathize with your situation and would like to offer you a supportive and empathetic response. I would be willing to provide a comforting embrace and a listening ear to assist you in expressing your feelings.

Firstly, an examination of the issues you have raised will be undertaken.

1. The college entrance examination was unsuccessful, and the score was only sufficient for a bachelor's degree. I was profoundly distressed, and my parents were visibly saddened. I experienced feelings of self-blame and guilt, and my parents grappled with a sense of responsibility and misunderstanding.

2. Selecting a major: I am uncertain because the major I desire may not have a promising future, while the one that is perceived to have a favorable outlook is not aligned with my personal interests.

Let us therefore take the time to examine each of your problems in turn.

1. The college entrance examination was unsuccessful, resulting in a score that only met the requirements for undergraduate studies. I experienced profound sadness, and my parents shared this sentiment. I felt a sense of self-blame and guilt, while my parents felt a sense of responsibility and misunderstanding.

When expectations are not met, results are unsatisfactory, and consequences are resisted, negative emotions are the result. It is recommended that the individual first attempt to comfort their emotions.

It is recommended that you engage in activities that provide stress relief to help you cope with your negative emotions. It is also advised that you communicate with your parents to express your distress and let them know that this situation is unexpected.

What is required at this juncture is greater support from them than mere accusations.

2. There is a reluctance to select a major, due to concerns that the chosen field may not offer a promising future, while the alternative, which is perceived as more promising, does not align with one's personal interests.

It is not uncommon to experience hesitation at this juncture. However, there is a concern that negative emotions may impede your ability to take action. The act of gathering information is crucial, as a lack of knowledge can often impede decision-making. It is therefore recommended that you take the initiative to learn more about the profession and gather more professional information, as this will enable you to make more effective judgments on your own.

If we simply accept the opinions of others without critical analysis, we risk losing our sense of self, becoming increasingly hesitant, and lacking confidence. Therefore, it is essential to utilize the admissions website to gain a deeper understanding of the information presented and to ultimately form our own judgments.

Dear host, Ultimately, you must make your own specific choice. I believe that after this experience of taking the college entrance exam, you will undoubtedly undergo significant personal growth. I wish you the utmost happiness and joy.

I understand how you feel, and it's okay to be upset. Sometimes life throws us curveballs, but this is just one moment in time. You can still find a path that suits you, even if it's not the one you initially imagined.

It's tough when expectations don't match reality, especially with family pressure. But remember, your worth isn't defined by a single exam. Take some time to reflect on what truly interests you, and maybe explore options that align with your passions.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way, but it's important to listen to yourself. If nursing or teaching doesn't excite you, consider other fields where your skills can thrive. There are many ways to succeed, and sometimes the unexpected paths lead to great opportunities.

Your feelings are valid, and it's okay to be uncertain. Maybe talk to more people who have pursued different majors, including language studies. They might offer insights that help you see new possibilities. It's never too late to find what you love.

I know it's hard right now, but try not to let the pressure get to you. Your parents care about you and want the best for you. Perhaps you can have an open conversation with them about your concerns and find a compromise that works for everyone.
