TIFU did I ruin my life at 18?

Hello, I made a mistake a big one and I’m currently very very very very very depressed. Basically from Saudi Arabia I was accepted three months ago into medical school dental school engineering school and computer science and chose dentistry was happy about it for a few weeks then after some researche, I only realized how oversaturated it is, and it is getting, and it will be in 10 years when I graduate so after trying to cope for like a month or two I finally came up with a decision to change and leave dentistry Now I’m living in deep regret and extreme depression. I feel like I should’ve chosen medical school. I don’t have a certain passion by the way or interests, my own passion is for a happy life (money could help). I’m currently regretting not choosing medical school. Basically, I have three options in front of me and I want your help. First option is to join in energy engineering bachelor then go to Germany and make a masters in renewables then work there in Germany for like 5 to 10 years for some international experience then come back to Saudi Arabia its problem is although the demand will be extremely high, because of the future projects in Ksa, the salaries might be lower than CS or Med Second option is computer science then masters in AI OR ML From the UK and then come back to Saudi Arabia the problem in this one is the high risk of oversaturation Third option is try my luck for med school next year and if it doesn’t work, I will change next year to either energy engineering or computer science I’m feeling very depressed. I’m feeling like I’m a burden on my family and my parents were very supportive. They let me choose and me as an idiot. I chose dentistry without researching now that I did some research. I found out that it was the worst out for please tell me which one to choose . I want medical school however I’m very scared it won’t be viable for me next year. The chances are like 80-20 to get in but I still need you to help me very extremely depressed. TL:DR End of it

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
