Ideal daughter

Okay, so for many years now my parents have occasionally compared me to their friend's daughter, who is almost my age. I'm about a year older than her. They'd say stuff like, ___ is such a good girl, she's doing this, she wears the hijab, she prays, she works, blah blah blah. The thing is, I actually LIKE her, and they're making me resent her from their yapping.

I'm bringing this up because I just heard about my uni application, I've been told that it's on hold pending a document I need to attach (my results from the entrance exam) but it's impossible for me to attach these documents because the entrance exam is expensive and I can't take it right now. Now, I knew this would happen so I'm not shocked or anything. So I just told my dad, and he asks if I called ___ and I said no, why? and he tells me, well, she's trying to get into nursing too. You should do what she's doing.
*deep breath*

He has no idea what course she is doing. I am aware of what options are available to me. I am not sitting on my ass and wasting valuable time by choice, but because of circumstances.

**End of bitchy rant**
