Gap year in college.
​
I'm 20 and studied CS with Data/AI focus for 3 years. I validated my third year, but two modules from first year are still blocking my diplomas both bac+2 and bac+3, and my grades overall are pretty weak.
Because of that, I realistically can't do a Master's this year. Even later, I'll probably have to aim for a private university because my academic record isn't strong.
I actually enjoy building skills and projects combining IT /AI with other fields im intersted in. The main reason I did badly in college is that I barely attended and didn't take studying seriously.
My family doesn't know about my diploma situation or how weak my academic record is. They're pushing me toward a Master's, in a private uni or abroad, but I've convinced them to give me a gap year to build myself.
The problem is that I can't just stay home doing online courses or building projects. I need to show them a serious plan and be engaged in somthing.
Is there any way out of this situation ? I dont want to just do a generic and basic courses just to say am doing something.
