gap year (1 Viewer)

[synthesisFR]

ive decided to take a gap year
I CANT BE BOTHERED TO DO UNI WORK RN

@jimmysmith560 and anyone else pls give me some pros and cons of gap year and what i can do to make this time very useful
worse case scenario ill be one year behind and still do a similar degree next year but thats fine as long as i make my year useful and also the age gap for me with first years next yr wont be bit at all
main goal is to just relax, get a job and learn to work hard cus im actually kinda lazy (ik dropping uni but i want other parts of life sorted out), go for a family overseas trip which is a trip I would otherwise have to miss out pre sure if i go uni, kinda get my shti back together because idk whats wrong with me but i reckon i could make this year useful
also i would like just keep researching about different degrees cus tbh i really only want to go into something science related so i will also try for med during this time
IDK NONE of my friends r taking it so i would be some sort of outlier but idk how to feel anymore abt this should i even take the year off

... if i do take it i will def make proper. use of the time otherwise it would just be a waste

this is the beginning of your path to inevitable homelessness. by taking a gap year you just don't need to wait as long for it to come into full effect

guys i figured it out
im different
special if u must
not like all of the rest
i must be destined for success

time to start my entrepreneurial journey and drop shipping side gig

i wasnt made for the typical 9-5 bourgeoisie life

my bucketlist will involve more carbon emissions than even taylor swift

pls serious

 

[carrotsss]

pls serious

I already gave my thoughts but if you’re going to do a gap year then make a solid plan and specifically weigh up the advantages/disadvantages for your specific situation (based on what’s in your plan, what will u gain what are you wasting). I’ll also add an extra year almost certainly won’t make you suddenly come to an epiphany on what course you want to do so don’t expect that

should i even take the year off

clearly few of us have experience with gap years except Elztrap so you might want to try and find someone else who's been through it and you can talk about it with. asking what you can do to make an entire year useful is a very loaded question
pros and cons of gap year is simple
pros - valid and proven option for undergrad med reapplicants
cons - not always productive

I CAN'T LIVE THIS LIFE

its okay pls stay alive. there isnt a time machine but there is the present and the future. maybe find something to study and get ahead on.

 

[idkkdi]

idk if I can honestly. this is horrible

i think ur sinking a bit too deep into your destructive thoughts. try focus on nicer things

 

[idkkdi]

no one wants to talk to me literally no one

family? if theres anything good about switching degrees, u can make new friends

 

[idkkdi]

nothing good to think about

listen to music walk around outside find some hobby find a goal. i think u have to learn to enjoy the little things and ignore the negatives. part of growth and maturing

 

[idkkdi]

income loss, already lost 2 years of income

honestly dont think its that bad. quite a few corporate firms kinda have an up or out culture which advantages later more mature beginners.

 

[idkkdi]

literally can't do any career but healthcare, every other one ask about 2 year gap

dont report the gap on ur resume if u r that worried

 

[idkkdi]

very very very silly from my POV

welp that’s life u live and learn.

my life would be so happy right now I know yours is

probably not nearly as happy as u would think

I just want to go back

dw i think we all would but we cant. gotta keep moving

 

[idkkdi]

I dropped out

well at least that was an experience. now ur dropping back in.

 

[idkkdi]

I GOT AN 84 WAM I COULD'VE DONE ANYTHING AND THIS WHAT I CHOSE TO DO

we all make stupid choices

 

[idkkdi]

BUT ARE YOU SERIIOUD. RITGT NOW IEVEN SOMEONE WITH A 50WAM WOULDNT DO WHAT DO WHAT I DID

people with 90wams marry people they get divorced with

 

[idkkdi]

sry i gtg but plenty of us will be here to listen to u

 

[its_ace21]

Fuck it’s too late…. have to work in healthcare forever now

What’s wrong with healthcare

 

[its_ace21]

Night shifts, blood, gerns, touching people, talking to people

Not really but its ok I’m sure u can still do what u want

help me it’s okay to not have everything together. yea sure you dropped out with a 85 wam and now you’re slightly behind, but it doesn’t mean it’s over. 1-2 years extra isn’t really that much especially if you plan on going into med, given that if you’re specialising this can take several years anyway. there’s nothing stopping you from doing ucat again this year, sure it sucks but you’re not locked out of med forever.
and if you want to do a corporate job, there’s also nothing stopping you from going and doing a commerce degree now. i doubt that any business will care that you’re 2-3 years older than other applicants.
also, given that you started uni at 17, you probably have had pretty harsh expectations about uni and career and school results etc. but realistically about 50% of people go through what you do, they feel very lost about which career they want to do, switch careers and degrees multiple times and eventually find something they like. it’s stupid to think that at 17-18 years old, you should have your entire life and career figured out, but unfortunately that is what is expected of us, yet not everyone picks the right decision; as such don’t be concerned if it takes you until you’re older to decide what to do and pick the right path
