I’m 17 and in my senior year of high school. I’m good at school and have. 3.7 GPA but I hate school. Not even just the physical in school part but the entire ideology behind it. I feel hollow and just kinda like I’m floating through it lifelessly. It just fees meaningless to me. I haven’t take my SAT or applied to college yet like my peers have. As of right now I don’t think I want to go the traditional college route.

One of the things I want to accomplish is becoming a therapist or psychologist to help other who have struggles like myself. But either than that I don’t have interest in other jobs.

As of right now I’m considering three options. Taking a gap year and pursue boxing (trying to take the professional route). Just go into college here in the us. Or the newest one I’m considering tryna study abroad.

To be honest I’m not really best suited for it. I get kinda homesick and will miss my mom and dog a lot while gone. I also like familiarity. But I also think going out my comfort zone and trying this even just for a semester would be good for me to reflect on myself and what I really want to do with my life. My parents said that they would support me financially if I’m really committed. U just really don’t think I want to go the traditional college route. I don’t know I really have this gut feeling that I should try this. Is it worth considering?
