“Go abroad or stay home?” This question haunted me for two whole years before I finally decided to apply to universities both at home, in Bangladesh, and abroad, and left it to fate to take me where I am supposed to go. By the end of last year, I had received acceptance letters from almost all the universities I applied to except the only two I really wanted to go to. After my first choice rejected me, I thought that fate had finally moved its lazy ass and made a decision for me. I would stay home because I had been hearing how selective Baruch is and I thought I didn’t stand a chance. Surprisingly that night, the email from Baruch came and as expected from the CUNY system, they made a mistake and offered me provisional acceptance whereas I had gotten full acceptance. Nevertheless, I was happy. Or so I thought. I then realized that this meant my parents would force me to go to Baruch to get a BBA degree and I would have to say goodbye to my dream of studying interior designing. Life and its confusions! But after thinking about it for a while, I decided that I would get a BBA degree and then study interior designing with my own money so that if I don’t get good jobs at interior designing, (which is likely since the job market for designing is poor in my country) then I can always do some other business when my kids starve and I can no longer afford expensive gifts for my man. So that right there is my future plan for now.
