rant about college
hiiii first sorry for bad english ,, okei im turning 20 in june and im studying medicine but rn im repeating the third semester because i didn't pass physiology,, soo idk ever since i was chosing what to study i didn't feel capable for that carrer and at that time i was between medicine and veterinary (and i know both are hard and kinda the same but no) but i was more biased for veterinary but even though i liked it and felt more "passion" for it i didn't choose it becuase i thought it would be even more difficult , ok so ever since I started medicine I feel like is not for me, honestly I just stayed because I passed the entrance examination (I didn't thought I would) but rn idk I don't see myself as a doctor for humans in the future but idk what to do because my mom already put so much money for my college and I feel so old to start something new but at the same time I don't wanna stay there,, soo can someone whose been through something like these share your experience pls

you're never old to try something new
studying medicine or vet is a long commitment, you need to consider the time and labour you will put in it
as for failing classes, it's so common to fail classes in health/engineering majors, it kinda expected tbh shit is hard
have you imagined how/what your job will be? you have no preference for specific a ...... reply
Why no med student genuinely likes their major bro because I'm the same and I keep having doubts. But I also feel like you can only actually know when you do an internship and work in the hospital because that's where you experience it fully.
Though I'd like you to know that you're not 'too old' for anything right now. Are you kidding, youre only ...... reply
