DEAR DEIDRE: UNIVERSITY life is great and I love the people but I am studying the wrong course. It is just not what I expected.
I asked if I could change but was told I would have to drop out and reapply next year.
I’m 18, have a brilliant flat-share and am having the most fun in my life.
The other thing is that I’m gay and there’s a guy I’m getting close to.
I know he’ll lose interest if I drop out. I always mess everything up.
DEIDRE SAYS: It’s early days yet. Have you considered that maybe it isn’t your choice of degree that is wrong but the way you are spending your time?
You are clearly having brilliant fun but you need to invest time and effort into your studies as well, whatever the course.
Talk to your tutor and get some more advice. Once you know you are on the right track, other things will fall into place.
