I'm a college student on a gap year. I actually appreciate you saying this, but sadly, you have gravely overestimated the ability of college students, especially freshmen, to follow guidelines.
- mehrdadn 6y agoI feel like they have the ability but not the motivation and/or willpower. Obviously lots of factors probably affect it (I mentioned one in another one of my comments), but I'd be curious if e.g. a college student of the same age in (say) Germany would be just as unable to follow guidelines as one in the US.

- KiranRao0 6y agoIf you don't mind sharing, what is it like being on a gap year during the times of COVID?
- Alekhine 6y agoPretty boring, I must say. Staying inside may drive some people crazy, but it suits me just fine. I have plenty of hobbies to keep me busy. Most of my time and energy is spent on work and I have a reading list so I can actually acquire some education over the course of the coming year myself. In the fall I plan on getting an IT job, so I'm glad this year has given me the chance to get some experience in technical work.
