University and .... Parents

I have ton shit of topics i wanted/still want to write, too lazy. Here's a quick one

 

So the hunt to find a university began when i graduated, and like any arab parent, my parents just really REALLY want me to study where they want me to study because apparently they know everything good in the world.

So my parents were like "oh give admission to all universities of the world and then we will help you to pick" i know that they dont want that, so fast forward, i got accepted in Turkey, Cyprus (Malaysia too but till 2016/2017 .. i might go there by that time). So i have to study 1 year before going to Malaysia.

Here is where the story gets a bit complicated.

Being a Syrian means i have to renew my passport every 2 years (screw you ass president) .. Turkey/Cyprus dont require Syrians to have a visa, and universities are relatively cheap (2.5K dollars per semester) .. so i was like great, i will go there with my friend and it will be great. BUT NO, (remember that part of admit where ever you want ? yea i know that that wasnt going to happen) my parents decided that i should study in Jordan. I hate Jordan, but just because my parents said so and keep making excuses how bad turkey/cyprus is, i have no other choice really. Admission in jordan is just so complicated (welcome to arab world) i am hoping that i dont get accepted .. it is not the right mentality but at this point i dont care anymore.

 

Meh. I still love my family and life tho, it is just this part of life that i hate :/

 

Stay cool :D

Fuck up your essay and maybe Jordan won't accept you!

 

Also, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. There is such thing as a misguided parent, even two of them. If you are truly able to see the long term, and you know that what they want you to do is verily no better than what YOU want do do, never be afraid to stand up for that. 

 

Also, I read all of your blogs and am a fan. I like to hear about your life, so please, tell us how this goes!

Yo thanks for the kind words :3

 

Problem is .. my mom is my main priority to make her happy in life. My problem is that i am the youngest of 5, so she wants me to take the path that my siblings took and for them it was good, but i'm different, but my mom doesn't want to "risk" me to live alone in an outside country, welcome to arab families!

 

But yea .. they sacrifised alot of things to make me happy and have a great life, i'm looking to probably sacrifice one for her .. but i do pray and hope that i don't get accepted in Jordan due to my decent not wow grades :P
