parents forcing me to go apply to oxbridge

orginally, i was gonna apply to oxford for PPE and now i've reconsidered I don't think i want apply anymore but then i tried to tell my parents we had a huge argument since it's 'already too late' to reconsider and every other uni is 'worse' in there eyes. i have also been doing tutoring tor the tsa and they're also mad about that since i've wasted loads of time and money to not even want to go anymore.

i feel like i have to apply now, but it don't really want to .

it's your life and if you don't want to be at Oxford you really shouldn't go as it is a high pressure environment and you will end up hating it if you're not passionate about being there and studying your course. it is your life, not your parents life! If they really won't take no for an answer then there is also no obligation for you to accept an offer should you get one, people do turn down Oxford for other unis every year. And the process is very competitive, if you're not passionate and your heart isn't in it you might not do as well e.g. at interview and not get an offer anyway. Don't go to Oxford just because your parents like the idea, this is about you and your future, not them.
