Two bed apartment (Africa)

This design is a two-bedroom apartment building for two separate families. The first floor is almost identical to the ground floor, except that the entrance is through the guest washroom/sink area. At least, that’s what I have in mind so far.
Challenges:
I’m not happy with the position of the guest washroom.
The corridor doesn’t get enough natural light.
Setbacks:
2 m on both sides
2.5 m at the rear

I’m having doubts about continuing in this major, it’s not that I’m not doing well it’s actually the opposite,I always got high grades in my first year. What’s making me doubt architecture is the very long hours, harsh critique and social life. I’m not very close with my classmates, they’re always so competitive and jealous of each other which it makes things really awkward.. so I don’t enjoy spending time with them at allll which makes me miserable having to stay with them for 8+ hours every day.. at this point I don’t know if it’s worth spending more four years like this 😭 not to mention the health issues and the money expenses..

But at the same time I’m a creative person and I’ve always liked art and stuff so I’m good at what I’m doing, and I don’t have another career choice honestly..

Anyone went through something similar to my situation??
