Many youtube videos with people showing how to change the oil say they wait 5000 miles on synthetic (ChrisFix for example) instead of waiting the 6 months.

Dude. New to cars huh?
You don't really have to change your oil at any set marker. Those are just guidelines. It's up to you to determine if it's time to change your oil or not.
Since your afraid to drive a that much I would recommend two things.
Wait till you reach that magical 6000 miles or 5000 which ever dork you prefer to listen too.
Second sell car by a civic.
