Hi Anh Thy,

You've got a challenging decision ahead, but it's also an exciting opportunity to explore what truly fits you. Take some time to reflect and make a list of what you love and what you might not enjoy about architecture. You might discover that while the entire field may not be your calling, certain aspects could spark your interest.

Regardless of your college, it's a great idea to chat with your professors. They can offer valuable insights into your progress and help guide you. Remember, architecture studies are demanding, but they can also be incredibly rewarding. Many students find joy and pride in the hard work they put in.

Consider teaming up with classmates on group projects. This can be inspiring and might give you a fresh perspective. I recall my college days when I initiated a group silkscreen project with five peers. We followed six simple rules, each contributing to unique prints. It was a creative and fulfilling experience.

Don't hesitate to seek advice from your peers and professors. It's never too late to find your path. You've got this! Good luck!
Thank you comment icon Hi Aric, I really do enjoy architecture and the design process of the projects. It's probably due to the amount of work needed for a short term of time that I have this burn-out. But thank you for the advice! Currently, I am working on my final project for the end of this school year, so I will take on the advice from my peers and professors. Thanks again! Anh Thy
