When we elaborate on the topic of university, people often associate it with the final catapult towards our destined paths, the drawing of an unspoken deadline towards our youthful days, the end to all of our uncertainties stemming from the extensive field of potential outcomes; in other words, the vast unknown.

Who would have thought that the period we were given to get our act together would be the most confusing one of all? Engulfed by a wave of anxiety initiated by the expectation to lay out the rest of our lives in front of us (despite having lived merely a third of it), pressured by the weight of success, and submitting to the social constructs of holding monetary value. It is of no surprise that the majority of the population in the 18-25 age group fall into an endless cycle of a quarter-life existential crisis.

Resultantly, people come up with the most plausible of excuses to execute grand gestures of deterrence: by taking a year out to travel around the world to find your true calling, by switching to a new field of work that requires your utmost attention to distract yourself from the fact that you are on the course of a greater detour, or by simply staying absolutely still – going with the flow of what life hands you, betting on the probability of liking the path that seems the most logical, with the least amount of resistance. Do not get me wrong – some of these diversions do ultimately get certain individuals to where they are meant to be. However, the majority settling for incompatible alternatives is left living a life that feels barren and preoccupied.
