Essential after High School

[Mansur]

Take a year off

This is the only time where you can fully enjoy and live your life to the fullest

You dont have to worry about any assignments or work stuff, you can simply wake up and explore nature, do whatever youd like to do

Youre free

You will wageslave your entire life either way and this is the only time where you dont have any responsibilities

You will also get to know yourself more

Im not saying more than 1 year because after a few months your mind will already start expiriencing chronic boredom, you will feel suicidal and that there isnt more to life

You wont value your time/ freedom

But if youd start working, youd miss these days to the day you die

No need to fit in, someones a millionaire at 19? Who gives a shit

This dude hustled and wasted his entire youth on working, something you will never be able get back. And has tons of responsibilities upon him for the rest of his life now

Regardless though, who cares about what people think

Maybe you are a loser but so what, you will never see these people again and they dont affect your life in any way to begin with

we are all going to end up in the grave after a couple of years

And that money, the paper you wasted your entire life on. Instead of actually living your life, will vanish into the void

What benefits would you even get from it really, a little faster car than a regular one

A little bigger house than a normal one

going on trips/ buying expensive stuff which will all end up boring you since its just a temporary dopamine release and all that shit was unnecessary in the first place

Which all took you all of your precious years of non stopping hard work

And you ended up wasting your entire life on nothing

 

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

What will you do when youre on a gap year and all your friends are off to college

 

[Mogmo]

Anything you could think of

Youd be like in your late 20s by the end

Noones gonna let you stay at their place at that age

 

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Anything you could think of

Man it sounds good on paper but in reality none of are some creative ass dudes who will go on adventures everyday finding new things to do. Best case scenario you will rot at home all day, worst case scenario you fall off the right path and end up becoming a junkie

relax at home, go on vacation with family, enjoy life, reflect, go to a therapist and work on mental health, find new hobbies, etc.

Lots to do by yourself. I also think a gap year is mandatory, I’ve had a terrible sleeping pattern in HS, always had shit mood swings and hated almost everything and everyone. And turns out all I needed was a break longer than summer break.

I’m 100x happier than I was working my fucking ass off in HS to go to a good college and this will definitely carry on in my college life.

Also a perfect opportunity to get ur ECs up, get an internship, side job to stack up for college, and volunteer.

It doesnt have to do with creativity, just of your own will

If you would want to enjoy your life, youd try to find ways and explore the world

And then you kys after 1 year when you realize you have to work for life

 

[polarpop]

only do this if you have people to hang out with and can rely on your parents.

Fuck friends, you can and even should use this time for only yourself

Parents go hand in hand obviously

1 year alone is lonely without talking or hanging out with someone.

i did this for like 6 months after i graduated and hanged out with my friends, hit the gym, ate fast food etc, best time of my life.

I agree with what you said but in the past you said youre a junior in college? Why do you larp

my academic career is very odd where you won’t believe it i feel like.

my gap year wasnt a real gap year per say.

i essentially graduated HS sophomore year, went to community college and took a bunch of online classes for credits. the classes were all easy as fuck and barely took an hour to complete all 5 per semester a week.

i count this year as my gap year. i then transferred to a fairly decent college as a junior bc of the amt of credits I had.

I dont think I larp abt anything. Dont feel the need to, if I’m academically stunted why would I hide it online? If I’m hideous why would I hide it online anonymously? If I’m short why would I hide it online (i get bullied on this forum for admitting im a manlet )
