As for sapping motivation, well I'm not doing much other than gaming and spending too much time online. Just looking for a part-time job now, so I can bring in some money while doing my course. |
No offense but why did you apply for university at this age in the first place? You should go sign up for a community college and get your two year associates degree and get your general education credits out of the way before ever stepping foot at a university. I say that because it is much cheaper that way. I would only advise students to go to a four year university straight out of high school (18-20) if they have parents who can afford those thousands of dollars per year for four years, or if someone is really masochistic to themselves and wants to put themselves into tremendous debt ($20,000 at
least) for their four year education. You will be saving yourself a lot of money going to community college for your first two years, then transferring to a local university. Just make sure your major is transferable because I have a friend who majored in something that didn't transfer to his four year uni and he basically lost all that time that he spent getting his associates degree in that field. Sit down with a career counselor at your community college too.
Work part time and go to community college part time if you can (or full time, either or, whichever you can do). This also gives you more time to really figure out what you want to do and gain more experience working in different side jobs, etc.
