I will try to share what is in my soul. I am a 12th grade student in Biology and Chemistry. Like most of us, in 7th grade we were faced with choosing the high school where we would continue our education. I am from a small town, but there are about 7-8 high schools from which I could choose, so I chose an "elite" institution and was admitted at first request in a class with Biology. Biology was my favorite subject when I was in 7th grade, and I decided it would be best to enroll in a subject I at least liked. I didn't know that this decision could change your whole life. I have never entered such a class to apply for medicine or to become a biologist and chemist, but as soon as I stepped into high school, all I was expected to do was do exactly what I was told to do - study medicine. Teachers in these subjects put a lot of pressure and said, "Once you've entered this Biology class, you're going to apply for medicine." Biology was my favorite subject in 7th grade, but then I got to know it better and see its darker (complex) side. I quickly realized that these sciences were not for me, especially since I hated Chemistry and Physics (which also go with Bio classes). And when you drive 5-6 hours of Biology a week, you are either very enthusiastic or you like it. Well, I'm tired of hearing about medicine and applying to MU Varna / Sofia / Plovdiv, etc. I don't know how, but I'm also an excellent student in high school, my success is about 5. 60-5. 80, but I would not define myself as smart or that I have a lot of knowledge. I explain my high success by saying that I just know how the education system and tests work, and the rest is gossip. Although I receive a scholarship for excellent success, I feel extremely unsure of my future endeavors. I can't even choose what to apply for. On the one hand, I want to enroll in Journalism, because I think I would like it, but here are the problems -
1. I am afraid of SSC exams in journalism, because I can not express myself properly sometimes,
2. Is there a realization of Journalism?
3. I have the feeling that my score will be very low for this specialty.
On the other hand, I'm drawn to one thing so crazy that I haven't admitted it to almost anyone. This crazy thing is the cinema. Because of the pressure on medicine, I was depressed and often cried and was at a dead end, but movies and TV series saved me from this hole and helped me deal with depression. Is it possible to apply with something I love so much? What stops me is it Fear, fear and fear again. Fear of failure. Fear of deluding myself that I can enter Natfiz at all. I'm even afraid that I might go in, then finish and be there. I don't think I will be able to experience such a failure. I'm afraid to admit this to relatives and friends. Also, studying at Natfiz is more expensive than Journalism, for example, but what can I do when I'm so attracted? But I have no experience, I have never been involved in theater or behind the scenes. (I want to be a director or a producer, not an actor) And there are people in my school who write screenplays, direct plays and play in the school theater, but I have never been involved in this initiative because there has never been an open invitation . Did I say I have a communication problem? I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown and I feel like I'm going to get lost soon. I do not know what to do, what to apply for, and everyone around me is already preparing for their application ... in medicine. :) I hope someone can help me.

Hello, it is very unfair that through his elections at the age of 14 and then at the age of 18-19, a person practically lays the foundations for his whole life. Your problem, however, is that you have obviously not learned a lesson and are about to make a mistake like the one you made when you were 14. Then you chose something that you thought you liked. Now you are about to make the same mistake. You don't think about future realization at all, you don't understand what the sciences and specialties you choose really are, and you come up with something so much. For the humanities in general, I can tell you that the realization is, to put it mildly, in question. Many women enroll in these specialties as well, and women, unfortunately, do not know how to ask for high salaries. There has been no bread in journalism for a long time, but there will always be one handful of people who will earn a lot. The same goes for artists, directors. My childhood friend is currently the busiest young director - there are several Askers, there are at least 6-7 plays by the Plovdiv Theater, the Theater of the Bulgarian Army and everywhere, but it barely connects the two ends. And yet - he was not accepted the first year either, but in the interest of truth after that he somehow got better, working because he comes from a poor family. He had a scholarship and was 6 months in New York to study on Broadway. He has achieved what maybe 1 in 100 students achieve and still barely connects the two ends, but fortunately he is a homosexual and will not have to feed children and family, and to shoot movies and series is 1 in 1000 and not only in our country, but all over the world. The money is made by the producers, by the way. So I advise you not to panic and not to learn all sorts of nonsense, just because you do not know what you want. Get a very good success now and concentrate on the prom, and if you do not know what you want - just do not enroll for 1 year. The very thought of not having to apply this year will set you free to focus on graduating from high school with honors. In your place I would go to Sofia, I would rent a bed in a student dormitory - many students rent their beds and sleep alone with a boyfriend. So on the spot you can get impressions, you can even attend lectures freely. Few people know, but in public universities anyone can attend lectures - you just call the teacher, promise to stay and calm down and so on. I attended language lectures at Sofia University because I didn't have money for private lessons and they explained grammar to me quite well, they even explained to me personally more understanding teachers. It is not a big drama to lose 1 year, in which job you will start. It's a drama to lose 5-10 years learning something that didn't make sense to you.
