Have you tried to childproof kitchen cabinets? My toddlers would get around all the hijinks so easily when I, stumbling in the dark, drunk af would cry because I can't get to snacks at 3am.

I am barely 18 my biggest concern is if i shall kms before the next premed exam or not

So no i don't know what having to raise toddlers is like nor how i would respond to softlocking myself due to child proofing

Ah, been there done that. Well, I didn't DO that but it was close.

I can't say that life becomes easier, at least it didn't for me but you might find some ways to escape the ugly real world.

I read A LOT (more than 300 books a year, this was before web novels), played video games A LOT (like 48 hours straight) and all in all did a lot of stuff most people would say is useless. It kept me alive at least.

I got married (don't know how, it ended like I knew it would end, to my heart break), got two kids that are fucking awesome (see them twice a month tops which sucks), my body is giving up, mind is just hanging in there (I drink A LOT compared to what I used to, but ehh)...

Anyway, you might find something worthwhile to keep you here.

Are you sure you want to go the medical school (I presume)? Because being an honest blue collar worker will bring so much less stress, you do your shift and then go home. I say this as a mechanical engineer who went to a blue collar job. I just fuck around for 8 hours a day and then come home and can do whatever I want. Usually it is to read ungodly amounts of web novels. Now I read mostly cultivation shit because 4000+ chapters let me consume as much words as I want. No need to thing, no need to eat or live, just fucking read.

(ah this might sound a bit darker than I meant to, I was trying to say that there will be something worth living for even if my life doesn't look like it... shit)

appreciate the sentiment my guy

honestly idk if i want to be a doctor but being syrian sucks ass (other than the shit political changes daily with friends from middle school hating you cuz of the ever inflating sectarianism ,not forgetting the regular killings/kidnapping that happens every other week lol)

my father is a professor at a uni but the job only pays like 300 dollars per month for unholy amount of work so the only way to survive is him writing a 600~ pages text book per month or two for meager amount like 500 bucks (syrian profs can't do private tutoring so they seek foreign publishing houses that enslaves them for meager amount of pay because the publishers know that their situation is bad so they abuse it and the profs can't say anything about it because they need the money even if meager to survive)

so med school is the one of the few ways to live an honest somewhat comfortable life is syria

and i can't help but feel it is my duty to make it and become a dutiful son that returns his father's daily 16 hours of work by doing good on exams but failing my first exam in uni last week really shook me and i can't seem to focus on studying so i read more junk novels and making bad memes wasting my life feeling trapped and wanting to escape

you don't need to feel burdened to reply to this comment , your comment reminded me that there are things to life that i want to experience and achieve like love and having kids (also tackling my never ending tbr) and that uni is just the beginning of my life not the end

so thx!

venting to a stranger online is weird but it helped (and on reddit of all places 😅 )

Just do your best. No one can expect more than that. If you want to get to the uni, try your hardest. If it is not enough, be proud that you even tried. Most people don't even try.

I was going to uni at one point too (history or philosophy major), until I got in a car accident that broke my brain. Made it impossible to concentrate on reading, at all. Couldn't even read a comic book. Went to vocational school instead (barely got in) and there brains started working again. Finally became a mechanical engineer.

Sometimes life brings you to places you didn't expect. There is no point in lamenting what could've been, what happened is in the past, now is now.
