Thank you for this. I guess we'll see. I'll do what I can to learn and do physics, but I guess I shouldn't be too fixated on the prescribed route.

I'm not sure if people are going to take this as a valid reason, but I've found myself far more obsessed than I expected to be with physics and... I can't really elaborate on that without oversharing HAHAHAHA. But basically, at this point, I think it's a fixation I'm better off letting loose...

Hey folks, computer science major here stuck in tech in the meantime. It's meh. I'm here to be able to pay the bills, and I work hard because I believe in working hard on principle, not because I love it. I'll get a job after I graduate and work in software for years, unless life swings me...

Update: I contacted the university and they said they're not offering the double degree next year, even though they posted it on the site... Doing minors and taking extra courses isn't really a thing here either, so I guess I'll just try to self-study physics and look for professors I can talk...

1. Yep, I'm the eldest child. Here in the Philippines though, the one who takes care of the parents doesn't depend on the age, but one of the children *is* expected to take care of them. 2. Yes, I'll have to rely on them for financial support, which is actually what is expected from parents...

Believe me, I would make my own decisions if I could, but my parents are more likely to impose more restrictions on me if I go against them now, instead of kicking me out/cutting down on support. I'm just glad I can choose the program I want to get into at this point, even though it's clear they...

1. I'm from the Philippines 2. She has an authoritarian streak, and she insists she must have the final say. She also went through some tough times at my age, and she thinks I'm spoiled because I can choose the degree I want to take instead of having to deal with financial constraints. I have...

Thank you! Will definitely look into this.

That looks amazing! There seems to be nothing like it in my country, though.

Honestly, they're not my dream schools. It's my mother who has the final say, and she's not letting me apply to others. :( These are local schools though, and I'm hoping to get a scholarship abroad. I have my fingers crossed!

Yes, I really do want to do electrical engineering. Applied physics/engineering physics doesn't seem to go into much detail when it comes to circuits, controls, etc. Unfortunately, I only have 2 options for college because they're the ones with EE that my mother would let me go to (she refuses...

Hi! I'm about to take my senior year in high school, and I was originally planning on taking electrical engineering plus some extra classes in physics. I like to work with my hands and to create things, so engineering is sort of a no-brainer for me, but it's also very important for me to...
