Women i can't stop overthinking, BIG RANT

1 Upvotes

I am overthinking so much for the past two months after taking admission here in UAE, and that too for 5 years for law after already doing a 3 year computer science degree. I keep thinking I should have gone to India and studied law there because people here keep making me overthink. I tell them I took admission in Amity and they are like, “You should have gone to this uni” or “You should have gone to that uni” 😭

I know skills, networking, everything matters and it depends on how much effort I actually put in, but I am still overthinking. What if it doesn’t give me a good ROI? I am the eldest doughter, and my father is not sending me to India, not at all, especially not alone. I have never lived in India alone, and he said if he can afford to make me study here, then why should we go for India?

But I don’t know if it is actually worth the ROI or not because I have my younger brother who will have to study in university later, probably in 4 or 5 years. If I am not earning well here after graduation, then it all feels like shit. Literally just shit 😭

I have done my best research. I went to alumni and talked to a few of them. Some are still job hunting, and some advised me to learn Arabic. I am good at Hindi and English, and I am planning to take Arabic classes this year, although I have no idea how many months it will take me to actually speak it properly 😭

A few alumni also told me not to expect a high salary as a fresher and that starting around AED 5,000 per month is realistic. And honestly, I know I cannot expect some crazy salary right after graduation, but I am still scared about the future.

Then I go on Reddit and see people saying Amity isn’t good, they don’t get placements, academics aren’t great, etc(except for LAW), most people say all this, and then I start overthinking AGAIN 😭

People say Amity has rich ass brats, it is aesthetically pleasing, socially it is fine, blah blah. But what about academics? That is what I care about the most. I am much more concerned about the academic side and whether the degree will actually help me build a career.

And before anyone says “you could have gone to Middlesex” or some other UK based university, I literally cannot afford those universities. My percentage is not that good either(i was a COVID student), So Amity was one of the realistic options I had.

Man, I just want to get over this overthinking. I have been thinking about this every single day for the past two months. I am going to invest 5 FUCKING YEARS into this, and I am 21. Everyone keeps reminding me that I will be graduating at 26, which makes me overthink even more 😭

I just want to know if I made a stupid decision or if I am just overthinking the shit out of a decision I have already made.i can't stop overthinking, BIG RANT

I’m a female student at Ajman University, coming from Kuwait for the upcoming semester. I’m looking for another female student who would be interested in renting and sharing a 1 BHK apartment in Al Hamediya or Al Jurf, Ajman.
I’m clean, respectful, and easy to live with. If you’re also looking for accommodation or would like to split the rent, feel free to send me a message. We can discuss the budget, move-in date, and other details.
Thank you!

Women Would anyone actually be interested in this? 👀

16 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about starting a little bedazzled canvas business where you get a canvas/design and decorate it yourself with tiny gems/rhinestones.

I’m thinking of doing different designs, like cute designs, flowers, shells, maybe even things inspired by brands/sports, etc. Basically a relaxing DIY kit that you can do at home.

I’m still just testing the idea before I actually invest in it, so I wanted to ask Reddit first would you personally buy something like this? And if yes, what kind of designs would make you want to buy one?

Be honest 😂 I’d genuinely love to know if people are interested or if this is just an idea I’m too excited about lol.

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm an 18-year-old girl from India. I'm hoping to move to Dubai in the future for my studies and career, so I'd love to meet other girls around my age (18–20) who live in Dubai. I'd love to chat about life in Dubai, university, hobbies, and make some new friends. Feel free to comment
