The problem is I am an awesome English/Humanities student, rocking out A's and B's like it's no thing (not to sound like I'm bragging or anything because most of the time I am more self-deprecatory than anything), making me the perfect candidate for the English major. The OTHER problem is that I am a sucky Science student, making me a not-so perfect candidate for the Nursing major.

I just really have to ask myself is all this worth it? Am I doing this for the right reasons and not because it's something my parents envision for me? I honestly have no answer for this question. They believe in me so strongly and I need this especially now when I don't believe in myself. It's not that I abhor the sciences, I'm just not good at them; they don't come as easily to me as the Humanities stuff. But that shouldn't mean I shouldn't try my hardest to try to be successful at them.

So that's where we are.

*hugs* There is a time to keep pushing for a goal and a time to step back and reasses. If this is not achievable what would you want to do?

Thank you for the advice. I think it's more just me being afraid to even try. I have no idea if this is achievable yet. I mean I can retake the three classes I have a lower than a C in, and that could bring up my science GPA and maybe *then* they would accept me. But in the case that they don't, I would be working on finishing an English degree and maybe could go work even higher for a Teaching degree or something related to the English major. But the more I think about it, the less pleasing teaching is sounding to me which is why I'm trying to get a Nursing degree so much (the other option is to be like a Nursing teacher, which sounds cooler to me than just being a general teacher but then again for that I'd need to get through Nursing).

My school also has an accelerated nursing program where someone with a degree from somewhere else can apply for the accelerated plan, which is another option I'm looking at. So, everything right now is kinda up in the air.

You're very welcome. It sounds like you have a plan and are working through figuring out what is going to be the best plan. I hope things fall into place for you.

I think it depends mainly on what you want to do. If you choose the Sciences even if you're a little weaker in it, if you've made the decision based on what you want, then you'll be okay. To be honest, I was kinda in the same situation for the majority of my undergrad degree (having read a combined BSci/BA in Psychology, Japanese, and English lit), but then I decided what I wanted to do in spite of what my parents though, and here I am now. It's by no means easy, and I'll need to make a lot of tough decisions in the next few months, but I know this is the path I've chosen for myself.

Hope that helps somewhat (and if not, know that I'll support you in whatever you choose)!

Thank you for the support! Yes, I do believe it's something *I* want to pursue independent of what my parents want for me too, but sometimes I have relapses where I have *no* idea what I really want to do and then I get wishy-washy. (Because all this rejection hasn't hit them as hard as I feared it would and they are showing that they are flexible and aren't pushing me toward something that would make me extremely unhappy.)

Truly nothing is quite easy as we want things to be.
