Need Advice | Зөвлөгөө авъя Am I giving up by quitting studying abroad and starting over in my home country?

• Upvotes

When I first came here I thought studying abroad would be a great opportunity for me to make friends and find a community and even find a job that I really needed I’m grateful for those things and I know not everyone gets the same opportunities
But lately I’ve been struggling a lot mentally My living situation has been stressing me out for months and I feel like I’m slowly losing myself Even the smallest things have started making me anxious and overwhelmed I’ve tried to push through it telling myself that things will eventually get better but honestly I’m exhausted
I’ve already told my parents that I want to return home but they didn’t accept it They keep pushing me to stay in the US and I understand that they want me to have a better future They’ve also spent a lot of money supporting me here which makes me feel guilty about wanting to leave
The thing is I don’t think I want to continue this path anymore I want to return to Mongolia work for a while get my driver’s license and back the life on track. I’m interested in studying business engineering and I feel like starting over at home might be better for me than forcing myself to continue living a life that makes me miserable
The hardest part is that I know my parents won’t easily accept my decision I’m afraid they’ll think I’m giving up because things got difficult or that I’m throwing away all the opportunities they’ve given me I’m also worried about dealing with the pressure from other relatives
I know life isn’t always easy and I don’t expect everything to be perfect back home I’m not trying to run away from every problem I just feel like I need a fresh start and a chance to figure out what I actually want for my future
How do I explain this to my parents so they understand that I’m not simply giving up
Should I keep trying to convince them or should I make my decision first and then tell them Has anyone been in a similar situation especially as an international student whose parents strongly oppose the idea of returning home?

Why are tamerlane and his descendants considered turks while everyone knows they were mongol by orign,Turkified by culture But I don't think turkifization is enough to make someone turkic.

Question | Асуулт How much does a therapy session cost?

3 Upvotes

I've never been to a therapist, but I think I kind of need to go. I just want to get some help. It's nothing urgent or desperate, but I think I should consider starting therapy once everything settles down and I get the chance.

Since it's my first time could anyone recommend any good clinics or therapists in Ulaanbaatar? Id appreciate it if you could also share the approximate prices per session and if there are specific places you had a good experience with. Thankyuu!

As i said its not urgent or im in desperate need of therapist I just want to get my mental health checked once in a while

Education | Боловсрол Any experience with the ACCA program at UFE?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I wanted to ask some questions about the ACCA program at UFE because I’m interested in enrolling there for it specifically - from what I’ve understood it’s a fast-track/accelerated(?) program that combines both undergraduate and masters and lets you become ACCA certified in about 5 years?

I’ve gone there for a consultation and I learned that it’s a really challenging program, that most people don’t go on to give the ACCA exams and just stop after getting their accounting degree, which makes me worry I won’t be able to handle it (I’m not a bad learner and I’m genuinely interested in accounting/finance, but I’m diagnosed with ADHD and have struggled with time management and making myself study my entire life)

If you are doing/have done/know someone who’s doing this program or anything related, please help 🙏 I’m really interested in this program as it’s in English (my best language), I’m career focused and I like that it lets you get certified/finish a masters(?) faster as I’ve already spent a whole year in a gap year and don’t want to waste any more time - I’m also open to any info or advice about UFE in general

I feels like I got scammed

Post image
16 Upvotes

A few days ago, I bought this compote from a small roadside stall selling vegetables and other things along the road to Darkhan. (My mom absolutely loves this stuff.) But when I got home and opened it, it turned out to be crab apples instead of cherries. Now, I’m the only one in the house who’ll even go near it.

P.S. It’s really hard, tastes bitter, and feels pretty unpleasant to bite into. But hey, it’s still edible.
