Disappointment

Probably one of the brutalist words in the dictionary if you ask me. Since I declared my major I always thought my parents were okay with it…until now. I am 2 psych classes and 15 units away from graduation and there I sat across from my dad as he questioned why I didn’t choose business or comm- at least those majors have futures.

Fighting back tears I didn’t know what to say as I feel like I’ve wasted my time and energy at LMU.

Sorry I’m the college disappointment out of your three children. Sorry I’m not an engineer or an entrepreneur like my brothers. Sorry I wasted all your money at LMU…I coulda picked my bullshit of a major at a cheaper university. I’m just…sorry.

I feel like I’ve failed and if there’s a more accurate word to define how bad failure feels, let me know…because that’s exactly how I feel right now.
