Well if dependants includes only myself, then yes.
And luckily I don’t need to work to finance my studies yet. That might change in the future though. I do however consider studying work, sorry if that caused confusion.
And it definitely feels like I would have to average 8hrs a day to satisfy all the requirements set by the plan. Which isn’t sustainable for me either, so I don’t. But the possibility that my studies won’t be covered by my government, due to me being too slow, stresses me out.
I mean one usually isn’t considered their own caretaker and dependent. Like someone taking care of a younger sibling, child, or unwell elderly family member would be a caretaker and they would be the dependent.
Alright so you’re not working a job besides being a student and you don’t have financial dependents. Are you trying to complete like a masters degree in four years for a particularly rigorous degree? I got my BS in math CompSci and took some electrical engineering courses and it wasn’t easy but I wouldn’t say I didn’t have time to sleep and get out for like some surfing, hiking, with friends. Then again I personally found most of my classes not super challenging once I understood the concepts and did some practice work. That said EE after simple circuits sucked
Bachelor’s in vehicle engineering would be the closest translation. Which is supposed to take 3.5 years and one more for the Masters if I’m not mistaken. Most of the concepts are not really an issue, but being quick enough in the exams is really challenging…
And like I’ve said before I really don’t have the energy levels nor the executive function of someone healthy. Just imagine being exhausted after half of the day and having to fight your own brain to do shit half of the time.
You 100% don’t have to answer since it may be personal but do you have a particular health issue? I’ve packed on a little weight now that I’m older and more sedentary but through my 20’s I wasn’t like ripped by any stretch of the imagination but had very strong cardiovascular health from mountain biking and hiking and swimming so often. I would say I was always on the skinnier side and kept some reasonable physical health aka I could go do whatever I wanted. Like if a friend wanted to go do a 7 mile hike to the local waterfall I was able.
I found that personally having endurance strength and cardiovascular health really helped with my general mental wellbeing. Also just getting out into nature was a massive one for me. No matter what I could go into the ocean and just swim off life’s stress and stare off into the horizon for a while. Being this finite little point in the seemingly endless and powerful ocean always gets my head right for whatever reason.
