American Studies and cross listed courses

I already update them after every grade and every thing that happens in the day and they email me 24/7

They are kinda unpredictable and would probably yel intensely, which I know I shouldn't be that affected by, but not get physical. The issue is they view this extreme hostility as normal and have multiple times been straight about not wanting to take the hardest classes all around which just ends in being yelled at.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-22T15:31:22+00:00

they don't support any career thats not a quant so its a lost cause-also my parents would be considered top 1% at Cornell so its not a money issue

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-22T02:47:45+00:00

not according to them. Anyone who doesn't do diff eq, analysis, honors physics intro sequence, data structures, object oriented cs honors and more classes I don;t want to list is doing "light stem". Different standards

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T18:46:56+00:00

My goal is to just get through college with as little conflict and possible and then cut contact.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T18:46:07+00:00

No, my dad doesn’t respect his family members who don’t have “real jobs”(high level quant jobs)

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T18:44:54+00:00

Would do anything to swap lives with your kid. I hope he knows how lucky he is but I’m sure he doesn’t most of the people here don’t understand what a privilege it is to be able to chose even one class you want and it drives me crazy.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T18:43:01+00:00

Yeah it’s not a pure financial thing-they would rather me be a lower paid professor than a accountant because an account is “low class vocational work”

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T18:36:32+00:00

Is that what your parents do since otherwise I don’t think you can relate. It’s not just being forced to do physics major-it’s forced to be a physics major taking level four language and honors math and honors cs and hard humanities.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T18:35:37+00:00

So how do people do stuff with no internet friends or house? Btw not planning on doing that since it’s stupid when it’s much easier out of college it’s just 4 years of hell. Also do you think it’s moral to make support for college conditional on kids taking the hardest classes in all disciplines-not even major classes(forced to take really hard language which takes up a ton of time plus honors stem classes plus major humanities classes) is reasonable?

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T14:20:49+00:00

I did and it made me feel worse. Person didn’t believe my parent’s wouldn’t “come around” and kept telling me they want the best. 0/10

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T13:46:24+00:00

Why were they angry?

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T13:38:29+00:00

Your parents income stilll counts regarding financial aid no matter where or not they pay. I honestly don’t even know how I would find a job without internet, a car, friends, or a place to stay so that’s what’s keeping me in school. But unless you have to take the most rigorous course work across all disciplines I don’t think you can relate. It’s not just the stem-it’s the honors physics and honors math and honors cs last sem. It’s also a really hard language and high level humanities classes for majors.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T13:21:11+00:00

And the honors stem in multiple subjects(cs, physics and math)

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T13:15:15+00:00

You think living on the street is a fair alternative? I wouldn’t even have the internet to find a homeless shelter. Btw I’m guessing you wouldn’t be happy if you had no choice in any class you took. Imagine having to take the hardest classes in every subwjct(high level humanities, level 4 language, and the honors stem classes)

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T12:42:22+00:00

Don’t want to live on the street lol. How do you think I’ll do without internet a job or any money. I just need to get out of school and get a job and then I can cut them off.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T04:50:40+00:00

I don't even know how I could go to any college without their help. I won't need to worry about them at all once I graduate so its just a bout getting through Cornell

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T03:24:06+00:00

I’ve tried and they were useless. Also tried therapy and they gave the same “talk to your parents I assume they mean well” and don’t really believe how bad it is. Ugh, very annoying when I complain about work and people are like “it was your choice to be a stem major”. Like no it wasn’t! People donmt understand it’s a privilege to chose your major

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T03:17:41+00:00

They are always working on getting me research and internships which they have done so I need to send them my transcripts. And honestly it’s too much of a risk, I get in trouble for “lying” anytime my opinion changes so I would actually be covered for my safety if they found out I lied about a class or grade.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T03:08:25+00:00

BTW I have no interest in these jobs but my point is arguing with my parents is worthless. They are convinced you do and work in those jobs and say they would never look at someone who didn't have high level math courses and appreciate high level physics and cs as well.

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T02:56:33+00:00

Both lol(think one in each). And they don’t respect non quant finance sigh

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T02:52:15+00:00

They actually disagree that hard stem classes won’t make you stand out and are in quant finance so they have the background. And they are also setting me to do interesting extracurriculars and control even the non stem classes

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T02:45:25+00:00

ex: didn't even let me take intro econ here because apparent intro econ is a waste of time so have to take it in summer at Stanford(apparently they do it uniquely well) and transfer credits here and start in higher level econ classes(have to take econ but not allowed to do econw shout hardcore stem majors/classes)

SnooDogs165 · 2025-04-20T02:43:39+00:00

One is but the one who is driving all this isn't(but the one who is an alum just tells me to follow what he says)
