In my final year of college, studying drama, I started to prepare to go university. I signed up for ucas, chose five university's in the UK to try to at least get an interview or a conditional offer but it was something I wasn't certain on. Even though I was applying and making my personal statement look the best it can, in the back of my mind I always thought is this what I want?
Another question I asked myself when making my decision is do I need this for my hopeful future acting career? I've always known I never wanted to be a teacher or anything but just acting. When I realised I didn't need a degree for my career it made me think more into why I was applying.
Weighing up my options
As the date was getting closer to finishing my two year course I was still undecided. I was panicking thinking what if I can never make a decision? What if I choose the wrong one? and still asking myself is this really what I want? Going to university seemed the easy way out I mean I'd already gone to the interviews/auditions and got two conditional offers. University meant I knew what I was going to do with the next three years of my life, but was I really going to do something that's going my make me unhappy for three years?
So my advice to making the right decision about university ask yourself these five questions:
Do I need this degree?
Am I choosing the easy option?
Do I have any serious doubts?
Will going to university make me happy or unhappy?
If I choose not to go will it be a relief?
After asking yourself these questions I hope you make the right decision for you.
