After years of extracurricular activities, volunteer work, honors papers, and AP credits, it can seem a little exhausting to find yourself at the beginning of four more years.
And while college is different in many ways from high school, some students still find they need a breather from the rigor of academic life.
In other words, a gap year.
I know this phrase can be a little off-putting, but stick with me here.
Additionally, taking a gap year can give you sufficient time to decide what life path to follow. A lot can change in a year. Taking some time off may help you decide on a major more easily.
Gap year students have the opportunity to break down the four walls of a classroom and see the world as a bigger place than they knew it was – and they may even make themselves more marketable to future employers who value independence and the ability to cope with complications.
