College Senior...

completely, situation, into, currently

I would appreciate any advice regarding my current situation. I have logged about 200 hours thus far, but feel I have retained very little information. I am currently a college senior with limited academic commitments this semester. I plan on not walking at graduation and flying home three weeks early to study (May 11 until June 5 devoted completely to studying). I am beginning to regret this decision as my close friends at school continue to pressure me into staying. Any thoughts on making the final push or staying for graduation? I appreciate all comments/advice/motivation.

amazing that you've done that much, good for you although I wonder what you've sacrificed. Tough dilemma....I would say screw it, you only get one last month of college, stay there & live it up, take the test anyway, and then maybe you have to take it in December. Good luck.

To add to what Andrew said - this is probably the time of your life that you're not going to experience again (partying @ graduation). However, I am assuming that since you had a light load, you were probably partying hard up until now.

Depending on where you're graduating from, this decision could make or break your employment situation - having passed L1 will be a big boon to your overall job search. If your parents are loaded or if you were dealing coke and have saved some $$$, maybe you can afford to stay back. At that point, those extra six months may not feel like lost time.

Read a thread by volante (I don't remember the exact ID, but I think it is volante99), which talks about his employment situation, to get a perspective on where current college graduates are (non-ivy leaguers). Personally, having seen what I have seen, I don't think I have the balls to dick around with my career choices.

Having said that, you *will* feel missed out if you flunk L1. Opportunity costs, my friend!
