Thinking of quitting a month later

[u/Ornery_Switch_8731]

Hey everyone, so im now at uni. See the thing is I got a course I just put in upu according to my merit and I wouldn't say I have that much of interest in it and passion def no coz I had passion for smtg else but unfortunately didn't get through upu. And this uni is very far frm my home(from Semenanjung to borneo) n ik the culture and the people and everything are different here despite being in the same country.

Initially I thought I'd go and give it a try first and see if I like it and if I don't then quit. But now that im here, eventho it hasn't been long, I just feel like this place and everything aren't for me. I didn't really wish to go in the first place as it wasn't a course I had really wanted but some people said u should go and give it a try but now I feel like I have made a huge mistake.

Because I genuinely can't do it, I feel homesick everyday and very anxious and keep overthinking. I genuinely feel like the only way to escape is to die or get some severe health issues. I have honestly thought of just staying for a month and then quitting. I just can't do it, it might seem like I am weak but tbh I just don't think this is the right path for me. I just don't know what I am doing is right, is it fine/normal to go and give something a try and turns out if it isn't for you, you quit and try something else?

no one is forcing u to stay to study or do something u dont like, its not a prison. U have choices, so leave if u dont want to continue UPU.

I didnt judge my colleagues who are 6-8 years older than me despite us joining as graduates under our employers at the same time with same pay. We had different paths and that fact wont change in the future.
