Is it worth it to take a gap year between high school and college to read for a year straight like a NEET but without...

I guess what I'm trying to say to you OP is do it, but it will be a lot better if you have a companion that you love so stave off the loneliness.

I think it also helped that I deferred my college admission, so I had that out of the way and something to look forward to. My whole future was ahead of me...

OP, here. That sounds like the dream, man. If only I had a qt girlfriend though. Was thinking of maybe going to Japan to learn the language which might be able to replace the lack of girlfriend. I'm actually Japanese, and I hate anime so it's not a weaboo thing, but more a connect with your roots thing.

Shut the fuck up op. Do whatever you want, you seem pretty set on the idea of somehow getting a leg up on the competition. This a retarded idea because i highly doubt you are self motivated enough to make anything come out of that year. College gives you some motivation. But whatever, do what you want, pussy

Come and do the organic farms thing, the guy above actually had a good idea. I would do it in Okinawa if I were you.

I just researched it. WWOOF, right? It's seems like an interesting opportunity. Thanks for the suggestion, m8s.

Dats it

>tfw 21, going to community college, still waiting for inspiration to strike, living off your parents' shame

I did the exact same thing.
Just don't expect to be as productive as you think you will be. Obviously I can't speak for you, but you think you'll have a lot of free time - and you will - but without anything to motivate you a lot of that time is wasted.

When you're at school or employed full time your hobbies provide a distraction, thats why you like them so much. When they're all thats there they lose some of the appeal - at least in my experience.

It depends on how self-motivated you are. If you get lazy as fuck without a fixed schedule like me, you're probably going to waste that year and end up never enrolling.

If you can keep yourself busy though, go for it so long as you don't get to rusty work/study ethic-wise.

these sum up the answer to this thread

Don't bother, read over the summer. You'll have plenty of time to read in college anyway. Living like a NEET is actually incredibly boring and you're probably just going to piss it all away and not read much.

You don't become a patrician, you are born one.

Pleb.

I disagree. Take the gap year OP, that way you can utilize your professors as tools during office hours to set yourself up for grad school and deeper insights into whatever your reading.

If you're just reading to one up your classmates, start with Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals paying close attention to Ressentiment. Realize that you're a piece of shit, faggot man of ressentiment and kill yourself.

Obama out.

I doubt you will ever achieve it. To be a “patrician”, whatever this stupid expression means, you need to read and involve yourself in literature on a daily basis, and not a single year. You need to read whenever you can read, on the train, on the bus, back in your room on the evening, between two courses and so on. You don't suddenly become well-read because you spend a year diving in books, assuming you would indeed allocate this time to reading. However we both know what would happen, and after one or two titles done, you'll waste your time on Veeky Forums, pornography or videogames. We all have twenty-four hours in a day, and if you want to be cultured, you need to make choices in your activities. Cut out the most chronophagic ones and you'll find plenty of time to read one to two books each week.

Frogposters are a last warning to the underaged that browse Veeky Forums

I'm on a gap year currently. I intended to get a job, read, write, exercise, maybe join a club or learn a new skill. Instead I've spent the year getting fat, masturbating, playing video games and browsing Veeky Forums. The modicum of a work ethic I developed has been obliterated by months of hedonism. All of my friends are at uni, so I've had very little contact with anyone besides my parents. My sleep schedule is fucked, I'm covered in rashes from my poor hygiene and my parents are starting to resent me. Overall it's been pretty comfy. I'd give it 8/10.

This.

It's a lifestyle choice you would have already been living because you would rather not be doing anything other than reading and educating yourself on lit while scheming on your next title. If this is not you it probably never will be. Perhaps you can train yourself into it, but if that's the case it may not be a natural affection.

Why live? Gonna rectify that before the year is out. Was nice shitposting with you guys.

you're giving him terrible advice

of course not, go to college and make friends and be social. living a complete year in solitude just to read is extremely autistic. just read while in college and learn. everybody else is probably already more pleb than you anyway.
