i'm a senior this year and my parents have really cracked down on college. i'm korean, but i have had dreams of going to school abroad for the longest time. my parents have always been extremely against this because the tuition fees are just too much and we cant afford to pay for them. this year, i finally came to terms that i wont be able to attend any of my dream schools and that i would just have to settle for a korean university. problem is, the system in korea is drastically different and 100 times more competitive and so we're struggling a little bit when it comes to finding majors and universities that will take me in. i know in the states its all about finding the university that suits your needs, but in korea, its really all about prestige. i have dreamed of entering vet school for a very long time but as we have consulted a few people for college prospects, it becomes more clear that i may not be able to get into these schools. this scares me. everything is so competitive and since im good at english, my mom has been thinking of sticking me in an english major. i do not want to be an english major and i have repeated this so many times to her but she wont listen. im scared. i dont know what to do. being an english major is the last thing i want to do and im so so scared of what this will do to my mental health. i will be miserable through college and i will be miserable in my future job. what do i do? i cant just escape and apply to the college i want to, i have no money and i simply dont know how to. im scared for my future, a future that isnt even mine.

If you can't explain to your mother that this is your life and you know that you definitely don't want to be an english major try to find someone else who your mother will listen to explain this to her.
Replypoint out that you knowing english (as well as you do now) would be more helpful in another field. also you can minor in english. remember you sign your own forms. this is your life. don't let them ruin it.
