Thus, in my humble opinion, you should study for as long as possible. After all, you are only a student once and you won't get to enjoy this care-free existence again (care-free...Ha!As if...)<BR/><BR/>But Cruise ships sound good! I think that taking a year off has its merits and if you can get a job not related to your field of study, it helps coz you will feel all inspired to return to studying if you feel like it!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408021370464130759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33660444.post-1161758311702335132006-10-25T09:38:00.000+03:002006-10-25T09:38:00.000+03:00I did that a while ago, my list covered everything...I did that a while ago, my list covered everything from cruise ship toilet cleaner to A-rated researcher.<BR/><BR/>Quarter life crisis definately fits, it hit me when I turned 20, I'd lived a quarter of my (usable) life, and done nothing except study...Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098708210972869491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33660444.post-1161721045054395882006-10-24T23:17:00.000+03:002006-10-24T23:17:00.000+03:00The only reason I know what I'm doing next year is...The only reason I know what I'm doing next year is because it is the natural order of things that 4th year law comes after 3rd year law.<BR/><BR/>This time next year - trust me, I'll be in your exact same position. I've been thinking already of the millions of things I might do - from articles, to teaching English in Japan, to doing honours at UCT, to starting my own company.. And i just don't know what to do.<BR/><BR/>I think we should call it the Quarter Life Crisis... because we have only ever known notions of studying and being supported by foggies.. and it truly is a little scary (For me anyway) to be pushed into the big wide world.. it's exciting too, but it's still a little nerve wracking.<BR/><BR/>I think the best thing is to create a list of things you might want to do... and then examine their advantages and disadvantages.. maybe you'll have a clearer idea after that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
