What if things have gone another way?

Posted this photo on instagram on the day of Science Open house, wasn't planning to have such a long caption for it, but heartfelt words just came out of me. This is what I captioned:" Photobooth at science open house later in the day with my Pubz. I remember how I went to Science Open house alone last year, thinking if I should come to NUS Science. And I'm glad I did, because one year later, i'm no longer alone in this very same place. I'm so thankful that I got to know so many awesome people in this place. Thanks for not being just a place where people fight against each other because of the bell curve. Thanks for making me feel like Science is one big family :)". Felt like in this one year alone, I came a long way. But if anyone asked me if I have regretted choosing NUS and even choosing Science, I will still have no answer to this qn.
Why no answer even though I'm happy here? Rmb last year when I first received my A level results, I was so sure I wasn't getting into any local university. But I was lucky. Or rather God blessed me with choices, I got accepted into all 3. Took a really long time to make up my mind and chose NUS. Do I feel happy in this one year here? Yes indeed. First, SOW allowed me to know my ladybugs Sammy Ranji,Christine and the really nice seniors I got to know and love talking to. Then came subcomm recruitment, which I made a choice I have not regretted- joining D&D comm and knowing each and everyone of them. And its also through this comm, I get exposed to many people and things in Science. Also, majoring in applied math might not be easy, but at least its something Im interested in doing. So do I regret coming here? I still don't know. Because everyday, the thought of being somewhere else still appeals to me. What if I have chosen NTU instead? SMU biz? Would I be happier? Would I be doing even more things? Would I be doing something more applicable to the working field in the future? Would I be a different person? Frankly, I still don't know what I really wanna do in the future, and it still haunts me every single day. I love doing math, but as much as I hate to admit, I still don't know where it will bring me.
I'm afraid, and scared. But who can help me? Only myself.
