Ok I need a little help here folks...At the moment I am nearing the end of my first year course in Psychology at Bristol University.
I like the course, I like the friends I've met here, I like the city itself.......problem is I'm not sure I'm on the course I want to be doing in my heart of hearts.
I knew I picked the wrong A Levels (what we do in our senior years at high school in the UK, basically a combination of 3 or 4 subjects you choose, which meet the requirements for a uni course you want to do)
I didn't know the what the hell I wanted to do at uni at the start of my A level course so I picked 3 subjects that I thought gave me a good range of what courses I would be able to pick at uni......really i grew unhappy with my choices, as I felt I picked an easy route, they didn't match my capabilities, what I knew I could do, but I was lazy and didn't really have a clue what I wanted to do with my life....
I knew I picked the wrong subjects almost immediately...I didn't particularly like two of them and got lazy with the one I did like. I got AAB grades...good grades but I should have done 4 subjects and got straight As in them (sounds pompous I know but I got AAB with very little effort...that annoys me too that i didn't try)...So I ended up picking Psychology as my degree.
Now I think or feel I know what I want to do, and that knowledge has come at a crappy crappy time.
I think I want to be a doctor, it has always been a nagging thought at the back of my mind, just never took notice of it much, especially when I knew I screwed up my A level choices......
I do think I really want to be a doctor but I would need to drop out of uni and go back to a college to get the extra grades I need, then reapply to a uni....It's a big thing...
Plus I made a commitment with friends to share a house next year, if I leave without them finding a replacement they lose the house.
They will probably hate me if I go I don't want that because I really like the people I was gonna share with, they are my best friends here, but I know I would be pissed as well if somebody just all of a sudden dropped out of the house...I made a financial commitment and now i'm getting ready to pull the plug on them.........
I don't know what I should do...I don't want to mess with them, but then I don't want to regret for years about picking the wrong course...plus I do think I want to be a doctor because I've been getting jealous of the med students I know.
I don't have any fantasies about what it is like to be a doctor, I know it is not like any of the dramas about, I just feel it is something I am capable of doing and that it is something I would enjoy doing.
Ahh I'm very confused at the moment
