I am currently unemployed, but I have some money saved up. I am going to go back to university in autum this year studying Philosophy and English.
Until then I will basically be self-studying and trying to get better at writing. I am considering doing the CAE (I am not a native English speaker) and trying to work part time as a translator. No idea if that will work out though.

I know some very dedicated med students. I also know one who regularly sleeps til 3. We don't expect he'll last much longer.
I pour drinks.

Art student here.

Considering drop school, not to study anything else, but because academia sucks (aka the adult version of "school sucks"). I'll probably make a career without that diploma. The work itself has helped me get jobs and I could climb my way with no stopping just because I'm a drop out.

Ah, what the heck, I'm almost done. I think I'll just finish this shit.

do the CAE? Why would you do the CAE? If you will study English at a university there's no reason to do the CAE.. Just man up and go for the CPE

>> No.3328954

>>3328934
I don't think I am good enough to do the CPE yet and I planned on doing the certificate in februar or march (forgot the exact date).
I plan on doing the CPE too, but at a later time.

English major.

I'm unemployed. Not sure what I'm going to do after I graduate. My uncle has a house in Costa Rico so I might go and try and get some experience outside of the US for a little while and work there while trying to write a book.

Who knows, I might go full Beckett mode and start writing in a different language than I have my entire life.

Studying journalism. Second year. Struggling to finish it. Got an internship at a magazine I like. Pretty sure I will be able to get a permanent job there. Want to pick up writing seriosly. Only finished one short story. University is taking a lot of money and time, and I feel that it will not be worth it.

Used to study literature and philosophy in uni. Then worked unskilled manual labour for a bit. Now I'm on welfare. Will probably be on disability once shrinks have figured out what kind of particular flavour my personality disorder is.
