- Caspar, member of the Dutch Nuonsolarteam, shows in his talk why it's so important to take a gap year- you can get new unexpected ideas.
Why everyone should teke a gapyear.
When I was at highschool I had it all figured out. I was gonna be a fighter pilot and nothing else, period. But then something that was completely out of my hands forced me to take a different path. A path that brought me in situations I never thought I would be in. Sit back and let me tell you why I think everyone should take a gapyear!
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
My parents are low key pressuring me to go to College after High school, but I don't even know what to do in my life. My parents say that after a year I won't be motivated to school again but I want to discover myself and see what I want to do for the rest of my life. I want to lose weight to make me feel proud of myself and learn more about myself and how to improve my overall Socilization,Attitude towards others
We literally have the same story lol good luck tho
I wish you luck in finding your way
I think trying out different stuff on your gap year could be helpful for you
Here is a brief story from a master:
A dude went to high school for 4 years and took rigor classes which consist of Bio to Physics and Accelerated Algebra to PreCalc and all the other classes that dude suppose to take and he studied every single day to graduate high school with at least 3.9 to 4.0 then after that he applied for colleges that he likes which some of them he got rejected from saying that others better than that dude
So he went to college (never drove in high school all what he did is studying and studying) then he went to college for Pre-Med and studied and studied. Also by the end of his graduation which he graduated by the age of 23. He needs to take an internship at the hospital for at least 6 months after that he actually went to his job which he then worked 12 hours a day until he became 60.
All what I’m saying is go with one path and stick with it so you would be in the safe side
@@avy466 we too!
ngl if you really believe a gap year will benefit your mental health or anything else just do it. your living for yourself, if your parents are going to be mad or frustrated, let em. eventually we all are going to move out and become adults. no matter how mad your parents get it’s your life and they brought u in this world to enjoy it because nothing in this world is promised except death. so why not enjoy it till our time comes?
2020 is a gap year for literally everyone
And that’s also an opportunity
@@alicewang2484 to do what exactly?
Zakir Khattak for so many fresh graduates that is a spiffing time finding a job, further studying, figure out what the next step is
u sure bro? even im planning on a gap year but the society is killing me and im the odd one out
I believe you taken out best out of your lockdown,But as a student of STD 12 th and yes a confused person , i just wasted my months is studies and what career should I perceive. So this covid wasn't that good for me , but cheers to you .
i took a gap year cause i really wanted to know more about myself and explore the things that i love. it helped me a lot in my life now.
Ohhh plz can you share with me your experience, because i'm thinking about taking a gap year but i didn't decide yet , and i want to think seriously about my life and my future in this year (:
@@hazo061 hi Hasnaa, i didn't plan to take a gap year it just happened cause I didn't know what to study at University. I was so confused where to go. So i took a break or a gap year to just know what to do and to know what I'm good at.
And it really depends on why do you wann take a gap year. Is it because you just wanna rest, or you want to be ready financially, or you want to know what to study. Think of a reason. And try to plan for it, maybe you want to take courses or want to practice.
Good luck
@@sarahz.9852 thank you !!
@@hazo061 you're welcome
@@sarahz.9852 sls
Gap year is upto you!
If you think you can work hard during gap year and get better then go for it!
Its not about working hard. Its about not being reactive to all the tasks that´s been thrown at your through your entire upper secondary school. Giving free time to find your interests without expectations
@@DavidVre I found my interests during high school thus a gap year isn't really necessary for me or people who know what they want to do in life
Off Colour not all people are all sorted out in life as you are colormaan
This is very inspiring! My parents want me to take a gap year before I go to conservatory, and I originally wasn’t feeling it, but I eventually realized that it is a great thing especially thanks to this!
Zulya Khalmuratova when did you graduate high school?
Zulya Khalmuratova Oh so you’re going right to college soon?
@@andymilstenmusic8520 how could I convince my parents to let me take a gap year
Nii Nii Well I mean, if you’re asking for advice, then show them our conversation!!
Watching this after got rejected by uni
I’m an Asian kid and gap is never an option for me. When I was in my senior year in college, I was so burnt out that I bought a plane ticket home. Gap really scared me, because my parents kept asking me what’s my plan for the future and all the messages from teachers and classmates. After spent five days at home anxiously, I figured out rushing through college was much better than a gap year or semester for me. LoL
All of the dislikes are just Australians trying to hit the like button
😂
who else is taking a gap year cause of Covid-19 ?
I’m thinking about it rn
Meee
Me
Me.... I think

How it went =)?
I also have a gap year it’s hard but also it’s more productive
Alex Russo hi, how was your gap years? What were your favorite moments? Do you recommend it? What are you doing right now? What benefits did you get from taking a gap year? I’m really curious! Hope you are doing well.
I graduated in 2018 , decided to take a gap year and here I am watching Ted talks to cope up with the decision I made.
you've been on a gap year for 3 years?
@@joanaluciano2458 yeah, now I don't have any experience and I am not a fresher,
Was obviously nervous but liked the message
Why was there a row of empty chairs up on front?
Good video tho. I'm considering taking a gap year
yeah that shot was weirdly unnecessary
Shania A. They really wanted to drive home the point about having a gap
@@arionstarks4640 lmao
They were taking a gap year.
wanting to take a gap year after graduating college has led me here. show me all the good reasons, tedx talks.
Omg these comments makes me feel so better ! I don't regret my decision !
My parents were kind of fine with me being away for a summer I didn’t get in the organization lol but I’m trying to convince them to let me do a gap year
It shouldn’t be thier decision !
Can you get a gap year to decide what you want to do with your life? Like if you cant decide what to do and they are both something completely different? Or is it just for studying and getting your grades higher?
jiminsbaby ily I think everyone takes a gap hear for different reasons, so yes to ur question! I’m sure tons of ppl take gap years just to lay around the house all day lol
yeah of course you can, loads of people do and then they travel to find something they like.
I took a gap year cus I didn’t know what I wanted to do I thought I wanted to do an apprenticeship but I actually really wanted to go to university!!
I’m a fall 2020 kid is this a sign
I took mine how is ur doing?
I’m planning on taking a gap year to get in state residency
I’m taking a COVID gap year and i finally made a UA-cam channel!
Awesome!!
Congrats on your progress.
I like how he proceeds to use "wiskunde B" even though the rest of the talk is in English
that's why I am confused, what does it even mean?
@@brucetsai7732In the Netherlands, halfway secundary education, there's several types of mathematics (wiskunde) you can choose from to add to your list of "will take exams in".
Wiskunde B (mathematics B) is the type focused on algebra
@@rosaliebosma thank you for your answer. so the audience was supposed to be Dutch? if so, why did the speaker speak English? if not, why did he use this dutch word?
@@brucetsai7732 well, the talk was in the Netherlands, so I suppose most of the audience present is indeed Dutch. Maybe he forgot to translate the word? Idk
Anyway, glad I could help out :)
Hey can anyone light me with some perspective?
I want to do something in the psychology aspect, research or counselling for which a degree is required (i guess). But i believe that if i read enough books and gain knowledge through other available courses online, i can contribute enough in the world. I want to do social work and help people. I am tired of being tied to an institution. My school experience is not so good. And i believe I will learn more and grow more if i go out, do internships and explore. What should I do? I am currently in class 12th and i am thinking of taking a gap year.
i really wanna take a gap year, and my parents want it too, but my relatives don't like it, they want me to go to college after high school. Now i don't know what should i do, i'm depressed...i just wanna cry everyday. How can i get over from this feeling?
Always do what is in line with your inner self because this decision will only affect your life path and not theirs
what is disc is a bay? what did you study?
Whos going on a gap year at the end of summer???
Me
Currently thinking of taking a gap year before my masters... It's very unusual in my country for people to take gap years if even they know what it is. It's either u finish school after 3 years and take your bachelor degree and go look for a job or finish your masters right after (which will take 2 years)...
I had a plan in my head to continue studying but I guess life doesn't always go as we want it to, that made me realize that I might have to take a gap year and discover myself, learn, and just be a better me... And hopefully after the gap year I will come back stronger and apply to the masters I truly want to study ( another university which is way better) and not continue to study the current course in my faculty.
Hey, I'm in the exact same situation and so happy to read this, it's reassuring in a way. Did you do it? How was it? I really hope you'll see my comment because I really feel like I'm in the exact same situation in which you were 8 months ago... so i'm curious to see how it can go from this
@@filip27_ hello! it's funny you are asking eight months later like I did with the comment above! So i started a master but this was a mistake, i wasn't that happy and didn't know what to do afterwards, so i decided to stop and work this year, maybe travel next year and then finish my studies. It's not easy but i have no regrets. :)
Well said!
What's the name of the diploma that he acquired during a gap year???
Pov: ur thinking about taking gap year cuz of covid

Hi! Im currently a senior who is probably going to take a gap year, do you have any tips or recommendations for what to do?? I really haven’t planned at all yet.
fast for a few days before your barrel roll exam so there's nothing to puke
Помогите пожалуйста. Срочно нужен перевод этого всего на русский.
His clothing though, looks like uncle Roger
i am the 100 th viewer!
THE QUEST no one cares
I wish he didn't keeping moving back and forth while talking. makes me dizzy.
S’foreign.
maybe you ate smth
Instead, everyone should work part-time during college.
should.. how about no
What?
Wong Tik Ki lol no thanks
I’d probably rather commit suicide
The recommended study time for my course is 60 hours/week. I’m in secondary school rn and I cry everyday from stress and probably only do 50 hours a week.
bro i’ve aged like 5 years in 3 semester from overworking and being a full time student. it can be done but for some it’s not worth the extra stress and can end slowing you down way more than it’s benefiting you
Gap years are a huge waste of time, time you could spend studying
You could also go to uni study hard and end up changing your major and that would be a waste of time as well
I took a gap year. I spent this year working at a pharmacy 6 hours a day Monday to Saturday and I still managed to have plenty of time to study and continue learning things I was interested in. I think it depends on every person's capacity to do multiple things at once and manage stress. Not everyone can do both things.
Green and a waste of thousands of dollars!!
Jim Dighton just cause you’re miserable in school doesn’t mean we should be also
Actually, no.
I dropped out of college because my mental health was declining to the point that it ended up affecting my health in general. I wouldn't have been able to continue studying with all my physical and mental deficiencies. Right now I'm being treated for my health problems and going to a therapist. I plan to go back to college in 3/4 months.
Gratefully college in my country it's really cheap, so money-wise, it wasn't that much of a waste.
Our economic system condemns unproductivity and wants us to work our asses to death, even though the people working or studying is suffering from mental or physical illnesses. When you're sick and your doctor aside from prescribing you medicine, prescribes you things like resting and exercising. Well, it's the same for people like us. Sometimes people need time off for themselves.
