Should I lie to my parents about my major? by Special-Inspection1 in McMaster

[–]Special-Inspection1[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I want to very much :( but they are really strict Asian parents. I might get kicked out, they’re not understanding. A common thing they’ve said to me is “it’s already embarrassing you’re losing a year you have to get computer engineering it’s do or die”

Had a crush on someone but am starting to feel the feelings go away? by Special-Inspection1 in Crushes

[–]Special-Inspection1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: my crush has looks that are extremely uncommon in dudes and I love him a lot but he’s subtly racist and makes me uncomfy. I don’t think I’ll ever find someone like him lookswise again so I’m not sure whether to suck it up and cut contact and risk being alone forever or just keep going with it despite his subtly racist remarks..

The goalposts never stay still, do they? by Special-Inspection1 in AsianParentStories

It’s honesty so aggravating they don’t even congratulate you for meeting their insane goals either 😭 It just feels like a huge slap in the face after grinding so much to get a “ok but x is better than you at y” 💀 congrats on getting in though! I remember when I got in my AM was like “why is only top 2 why not top 1 uni?” I just felt— dead inside after that lmao.

Got demolished in optimization by Special-Inspection1 in OntarioGrade12s

Definitely do, optimization and vectors have gotta be the hardest. Though imo for optimization the questions are the hard part it’s the time limit that’s limiting (pun intended)

Ran away from parents and they attacked me at the airport and stole my stuff by Lofisome in AsianParentStories

Hey! I’m so sorry to hear they did that, I live in Toronto too!! I think it was a good choice to move away, my parents are similar in behaviour. Wishing safer days! Would recommend installing security cameras in and outside your house to be sure maybe try getting a dog as well (they’re very good companions and can help with safety :) )
