I'm a student and I have the feeling I will never be the pilot of my life plane.
Although I'm often happy I always feel like something is missing.

My field of study is since 4 years biochemistry and it was mainly chosen by my parents.
After my first year I didnt pass a test, so I had to take a leap of honor.
I urged my parents to start something new but was told that this would be too late.

Since then I hugely struggled and never was able to attain really good grades.
So I always felt stupid and lost, especially in lab courses and accused myself of not being able to appreciate my priveleged situation that I am in in comparison to other girls in low developed countries that have to work in a textile industry in Bangladesh or are married at an age of 12 years. I struggle with procrastination and i have the feeling i havent won much knowledge in my life.

My social life has suffered too. So I have really close friends I love, but have difficulties engaging in a talk with strangers. I never really get in the flow of talking or start a serious discussion because I dont seem to grip the gist of the matter, know amusing anecdotes or even just know what i really want. it seems to me that the years are passing past me while I neglect great opportunities like getting to know my interesting family members better or other persons.

So I'm not this respected intelligent woman I long to be.
To improve my situation i play superbetter and engage in the press team of a local club and love to go swimming or do fitness, but im still not really optimistic about my future.
I hope i didnt write too much or too many details in my first post.

Bye

You are a smart person. I can tell that just from your post. If you do not like biochem, study something else. You should of course respect your parents and their perspective, but in the end of the day you need to study something that you are good at and more importantly that you enjoy. Don't lose confidence in yourself.
