Do i sound like a spoiled brat?
No. Living at home while acquiring your college education in a field of study you are truly interested in is not unusual nor is it spoiled. You are indeed, very blessed and smart to cooperate with your parents by not expecting material things. That person may just be jealous of your home life advantage. Ignore that person and do what you have to do to gain economic stability and financial independence. You are still very young and have time to find jobs and establish a residence of your own when you are able and ready as long as your parents are contented with you.
Yes and no. It is wonderful you have family support while you go to school. Not everyone is so lucky. It is nice that you recognize that you are lucky and appreciate what your parents are providing for you. So in this way, you are NOT spoiled – you are fortunate. On the other hand, living at home and being financially supported DOES delay your maturity. Perhaps not your social or intellectual skills, but certainly you have been sheltered and lack understanding of what it means to be truly independent (and how hard one has to work to achieve that). This is not a personal criticism, it is simply reality. A person CAN NOT know what it’s like to work full-time (or perhaps have two jobs; or go to school and have a job at the same time) simply to eat and hope for a better future – unless they actually DO IT. I truly appreciate that you do not take your family’s support for granted. In a perfect world everyone would have that kind of support. But on the other hand, you are not truly an adult
Living at home is not a problem, at least not until you graduate college (it builds strong family ties) As for whether you are spoiled or not…personally, from what you said, I don’t think so. If your parents are wealthy enough to support you through college then that is very sweet and PARENT LIKE from them. On the other hand, having the responsibility of having to pay for your own school is a good practice for when you are out in the real world and have to depend on yourself. As for switching majors, I believe whole-heartedly that you should do something that you are passionate about and that if it takes you a year to find out what you want to do, then so be it.
