Yuan it sounds like you enetered into that degree for the totally wrong reasons! Don't do something because yoru parents want you to. What good does that do you?

Ok stand up, go out of your flat, apartment, dorm whatever and GO AND GET SOME FRIENDS NOW!

I can't stress this enough, get friends or you will make yourself ill. You will get stressed, tired, ill and eventually DEAD. Its not a joke. Its dead serious.

Now accounting wouldn't be my first choice and it sounds like it wouldn't be yours either:

So what are my actions? Nothing exciting. I am an international student studying Accounting and Finance in Australia. I study hard because my parents pay for everything I use in Australia and I don't want to fail a subject and waste their money. I do not have a job because I am lazy and do not want to work as a labour. I do not have many friends because I cannot afford to waste time having fun. So what I do daily is just study study study and when I am bored, I watch TV, browsing internet, call mum, or spend some time with my boyfriend.

Everyone consider me as a good student because I usually get high distinctions. But I know I don't love Accounting, that was mum's choice so I had to study that's all. Also I do not know what I should do after I graduate (my lecturer was impressed with my results and suggested doing a honours degree, I did not like the idea as I don't know what my research topic in ACCOUNTING would be) and I don't know what I want to become in the future (maybe sit CPA exams and become a public accountant?!).
You are afraid to hurt other people. Your parents are guilting you into doing what they want because they are paying. Tell them to take their money back. Tell them you have your own life to live. Not theirs.

DON'T BECOME AND ACCOUNTANT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO. But I also suggest you suck up your pride and get a crappy job to earn some cash. Money is money is money right? Who cares where it comes from at your age. Start another degree in something you care about. Or go otu and travel the world. Do what you love, loe what you do and don't listen to other people!
