Right now i’m starting to feel stressed because i occupied one of the 2nd places in the examination you go through in your last year of high school in my country (it is the total population that presented the examination divided by 1000, with this they make groups of 1000. so i was the 2nd out of 1000), it is required to apply to an university. Everyone is expecting me to choose a career like medicine or an engineering, but i’m not that interested, i just want to study something challenging where i can participate in a lot of investigation projects, like chemistry, physics, biology, or even astronomy. I feel like i want to do a lot of things a bring a lot of discoveries to humanity, and help them improve. (i have this habit that when i talk about humanity or people my age, i tend to talk about them as if im not one of them)

But again, people think that it is a waste (they don’t say it, but i know. The gestures they make, are easy to read).

I got the results 3 days ago and now i’m starting to feel the pressure, now i remember why i never liked to get good grades and just went through school with the satisfaction that if i wanted i could beat all of these over achieving guys that liked to step on others.

how do you deal with stress when everyone is expecting something from you, and you just have a few days to choose what to do with your life?

i just wanted to let this out somewhere, because if i dont, i dont even know what ill do.
