I have a year off before uni and I won't get the chance to travel as much as I want to. What are some other ways that I can make this year memorable.

hey! travelling is definitely not the only way to make your gap year memorable. one thing you can do is work. find a part-time or full-time job that you’ll enjoy and get stuck into it. you’ll be able to save up a lot of money and invest that for travel in the future if that’s what you want, or you can save up for other things. you’ll also be able to make some new friends through work! another alternative to work or something that you can do alongside it is volunteering. you’ll be contributing to the community and also learning new skills + experience that you’ll be able to put on your resume. 

if you’re more into spending your gap year relaxing instead of working then make a bucket list of things you want to do now that school is over. i’ve created a post-hsc bucket list that has simple things such as having a movie marathon, reading books, going to places with friends etc. you’ll finally be able to binge-watch tv shows without feeling guilty about not studying! this is also the perfect time to pick up a new hobby. maybe you’ve been meaning to try out something for a while and never got around to it. there’s endless possibilities, for example, learning how to play a musical instrument, creating art, sports etc. 

lastly, get anything that you haven’t gotten around to done. if you haven’t gotten your license yet, you’ll have heaps of time to sit the test and practise driving. rearrange or redecorate your room if you’ve thought about it but never did.

hopefully this helped! i think your gap year will be memorable no matter what. you’ll have a great time not having the pressures of schooling. relax and have fun, you deserve it!

send me asks!

Hey studyquill! Was just looking for an outsode opinion. I am doing my HSC last year in high school and so im already super busy. I dont really have a social life. I just got accepted to do this play which will also have a pretty regular schedule for a few months. I am really excited to do it but am not sure if its a good idea in my final year. What do you think?

If it will make you happy then go for it! Life is too short not to do what you love.

What should i write for NaNoWriMo. I have a story idea but i feel like i cant write it because i haven't mapped out any chracters or plotlines. I also am interested in poetry so i was thinking sonething around that but im not sure??? Thanks! P.s i love your tracker you made for nanowrimo

My friend my pal my good buddy, have I got some news for you.

YOU ARE FREE TO DO IT ALL.

If you want a storyboarding worksheet, here’s one. But lots of people don’t map out characters or plots, they just go with the flow! This year is the first year I’ve ever used a story board, and I’ve already deviated from it! It’s whatever!

Poetry is great, too. The great thing about NaNoWriMo is that, while there is a traditional guideline (50,000 words on a brand new novel), the organizers and participants are all creative people who get that you might not actually want to deal with their mostly arbitrary rules. You do you, bud.
