I 22M am an upcoming senior at SBU majoring in psychology and I'm uncertain about where I'm going in life. I'm going into my senior year next semester and I'm still unsure what career I want to pursue. At first I was thinking of looking into different fields to study but nothing clicked with me. I'm more drawn to psychology because I can relate to certain topics in it and I find the study enticing. I'm just not sure what part of it is something I want to pursue for a career.

After thinking for some time I realized I that this may be something deeper than just a career, more like my purpose, I guess. I'm uncertain about what mine is. What I want to do with my life, what makes me happy, or what I'm passionate about, even though I really want to know if that makes sense. I've tried being mindful and open-minded but a part of me still feels this sort of depression, uncertainty, detachment to self. I've tried taking up different hobbies but nothing really clicked. People look to religion as a way to guide them in life, but with me I'm not religious nor do I believe in god. I do respect everyone's religion, but it's something I don't really see myself being with any. People look to their loved ones (friends and family) for help, I do have a few friends and I appreciate what they do for me, but for some reason I don't really feel any resoulation for this. I'm sorry if this may have been a little triggering for anyone who is reading and I hope you're okay. Can anyone else relate to this? What do you do when you don't know what you want to do with your life even though you want to know?

Hello I am interested in studying abroad at the University of Sussex next spring (2027). I know I’m thinking about this way ahead of time, but I think it’s a great opportunity to take up before I graduate next year. Also I think it’s good to think about this so I would be ready mentally, physically, and financially. So I have a few questions if anyone might bee able to answer:

-What was your experience like studying in England or in another country.

-How much did you spend?

-Did ou receive any scholarships? How likely is a student to receive one? (I know it costs a lot so I want to know what my options are for financial assistance.)

-I am a psychology major with a concentration in history. Does the school offer any courses I may be able to take within these categories? If not are there any alternatives? (I looked on the study abroad website and found a few available classes that are transfer worthy. But at the top off the page it stated that not all the course were listed that are SBU compatible).

-What was it like studying abroad and do you have any advice?

I am currently a junior at SBU. I am struggling with my mental health and I don’t have a support system I can turn to. I am in therapy but that can only do so much. I only have a few friends and can’t go to my family about this because I don’t have the best relationship with them. I looked into joining clubs but I rarely have any time because I work when I’m not at school and it’s like an hour’s commute from where I live. Can anyone else relate? Does anyone have any advice?
