Hey everyone!

26 Y here. So i'm writing my MA dissertation in the field of Culture Studies (MACS) (Humanities). I've been working on it for 4 years ( i failed some subjects during the course and i had to retake them so that's why it seems long). Last year, I've submitted my MA (October 2021) and i was happy i did it. However, come January 2022, the head of committee contacted me and told me that the evaluators (which were 2) have given two negative assessments of the dissertation and they accused me of plagiarism (even though my supervisor presented a low plagiarism report for my dissertation (1.7% similarity score)). Even though the jury didn't want to give me a second chance , the supervisor has gone on a limb and i was granted an exceptional extension of one month to revise and resubmit. I've read the evaluators reports and i'm seriously devastated by what they wrote.... i've been feeling low for 2 weeks now... thee deadline for resubmission is the last day of February and i've only managed to write one chapter of 15 pages intro and conclusion( 8 pages ).... ( still have 2 chapters to write ,20 pages each in less than 10 days )

​

i'm seriously thinking of withdrawing and saving face... I don't have the confidence needed and i feel like i'm not gonna make it.... My parents pressure is also killing me.... I don't have a job so i don't have extra activities... My parents/supervisor want me to finish this MA (whatever the cost even if that comes at the expense of my mental health) and i'm feeling lost... Idk what to do and i don't want to have regrets later in life....

I'm not considering working as a teacher any time sooner and i believe i'm doing this for my parents and my supervisor (she's a close friend) to avoid disappointing them.... i'm more interested in Computers, game development, art and animation, 3d modelling.... My parents don't understand that and believe that if i withdraw now , i will be wasting 4 years of my life for nothing (they consider the game industry as rubbish, not an honorable work like a lawyer or teacher, you know that old school thinking where your parents want you to become either a teacher , a lawyer, a doctor etc.... and anything else is irrelevant ? that's how my parents think....). I honestly don't know what to do and i'm cracking...

Thank you for reading this!
