Hmm… interesting. Yeah I’ll have a think about it. Because honestly, I miss uni, it was a lot of fun. And I wonder how things would change now that I have a script for Ritalin haha.
It was creative writing, so you know the course that doesn’t provide me a job in the end! Jokes, I actually learnt a lot in creative writing and it’s helped me get opportunities I wouldn’t have gotten, and I do love the job I’m in but it’s very much customer servicing whereas writing copy is a “if there’s nothing to do”, which is fine… but I just want to do more writing.
Nah, creative writing is here to stay. In the age of AI saturating journalism and the arts etc. I suspect your services would be well sought after.
And funny you say that re: Ritalin. Prior to getting on meds, I’d lost count how many times I’d dropped out of uni – probably 6 or 7 times. And I transferred across 5 unis lol. I started when I was 18 and didn’t graduate until I was 30. I battled through my remaining undergrad subjects over the pandemic, graduated last year and continued on w/ postgrad. My strength is academia but I never actually believed I’d complete a degree nor study postgrad, not in a million years.
The most surprising thing was that my final undergrad year was so much more difficult than doing postgrad. All the teachers and their assignments in postgrad were super flexible, as was my weekly schedule. I could do whatever I want at my own pace. It was a goddamn revelation not having to constantly chase deadlines and having the freedom to push things back as required.
I’d encourage you to consider giving it a go! Could always sign up and see how the first month is? And if you need to, drop out / defer before census.

Yeah definitely. I might look into it in a year or so. Might see what I can do with my boss.
