All about sunk cost - What is your inside power, baby?

Dear Annie,
It's not the first time that you come to me, and complain about your current situation. In my point of view, your problem is not about practical VS academic, but dream VS reality. Last night, you felt depressed, or even desperate for no reason in just one second, suddenly, unexpected. Your chest was so painful, that you can't even stand or sit. When you laid down in bed, you buried your head in the pillow, and left tears in that soft stuff.
Sweetie, I know how you are burdened these days- visibly, 3 global exams are to be prepared, as well as a series exams and essay exams afterward, What's more, you have to take responsibility to make your last stay in the University Graduate Center smooth; invisibly, you don't like your major, although you can make the results in academic transcript look perfect. Well, in the short term, they do challenge, but in the long run, will you really care about these tiny little things?
Before going into any details, ask yourself "what's your inside power?" Do you have something that you are willing to fight for your entire life? We have only one life to lead, so be yourself! I don't care if you prefer looking for a job after graduation than going for further study or vice versa. Whatever you choose, you shouldn't betray your inside power!
And another suggestion: don't afraid to take responsibilities! There are some sorts of "heavy" that seem unaffordable, however, it is them that make your life complete. Remember, pursuing freedom should, and must be under the assumptions that you rely on yourself and keep all other responsibilities done. If you wanna travel around the world, be sure that you finance it yourself and make your parents feel secure, otherwise you will forever be torn by "dream" and "reality". A grown-up is supposed to balance these two elements wisely.
Have a sound sleep and welcome a new tomorrow!
Yours,
CC
