2 majors and 2 minors.... Is it too much?

I am currently a senior in high school, and I plan to go to university to focus on learning foreign languages (German, Russian, and modern Greek) with a minor in history. As I was researching majors, I have learned that there is no major for what I want to do (yes, I want to learn 3 languages at once), so I came to the conclusion that I should triple major in the 3 languages and minor in history (I don't want to specialize in just one language and kind of focus in another language or 2; no, I want to specialize in all 3 languages). However, this one university that my dad really wants me to go to only offers modern Greek as a minor (which I am okay with because I already know some Greek and yes I am Greek... and Italian... Una faccia una razza). So instead of triple majoring with a minor, I was thinking to do a double major with 2 minors if I end up going to this university (or just do the 2 majors and 2 minors regardless the university I go to).

And no, I am not letting my dad influence me on where I should go after high school. He wants me to stay at home, and this university is close to home (it's also a really good university). However, I want to go far from home, because he makes my life miserable. I am only considering this university since I've read good reviews online.

Gud luck finding the right course.... only u will be studying 3 languages at once so only u can say if it is too much... ur family sounds like mine... get as far away as possible....

Btw... saw ur message about God... u won't fail if u don't have God... God doesn't exist.... I know what u mean tho... it took a long time to convince my parents that I am an atheist... actually my dad still patronising about it but my mum is fine with it... it'll take time for them to realise u are ur own person

@Spoiledbrat He has also locked me and my sister up in the house for 2 years, because he could no longer afford to send us to a special Christian school (and he does not like public school). He threatened me and my sister that if we try to leave the house, he would install cameras to make sure we didn't leave the house (our neighborhood isn't even that dangerous and there really isn't any place for us to go to especially since at the time we were not old enough to be driving). As I look back, I realize that I slowly started to go crazy. I suddenly found myself being interested in a lot of creepy and gore things. I even wrote and read stories about people getting murdered and other messed up things, and drew art that most people can't bring themselves to look at. The creepy and gore things were what made me feel excited and alive. Of course, I did not have thoughts about killing people (only in fiction). The only time I went out was when we had to go to church. It was an extremely dark time for me. It's definitely not healthy to force your child to stay indoors 24/7. Thanks to our mother, she put her foot down and enrolled us in the local high school. I'm sorry if this was a bit explicit or tmi.
No it’s okay. You’re being honest. That sounds really bad. I’m very sorry for you. I hope you get through college and on with your life before too long. I’d almost feel threatened I think if I were you. @BlackBloodDemon

@Spoiledbrat I hope I can get on with my life, too. I wish I had a good relationship with my dad. Hopefully in the future when I'm much older, we can put the past aside and actually be happy in each other's presence.
