I took a gap year so I could work on my start-up first. You can't do a start0up part-time. Like you can't have babies and be part time with them.

But with dual majors it's going to be even tough for you. Just wondering that if you had to do a start-up, why did you take dual major? And if you had to take dual major - why a startup?

If I were in your shoes I'd at least drop one of those. One of these subject is enough to keep you on your toes anyways. Let alone doing both and then a start-up too. It's better to feel a little bit bad about dropping something now than face failure at all three fronts.

It's time you prioritize. What can you do and forget that you had to even eat? That's how I know what I am passionate about and I know I won't mind doing it even if no results are coming. And that's the calling you should go toward, IMO.
