<p>I am writing a book on the gap year and would love to hear from anyone who has been on one. If you pm me I would appreciate it. I'd also be interested to see a discussion here on what you think about the gap year and if you wish you had gone.</p>
<p>I kind of did a gap year; it was like 2/3s of one. But then, I'm not going to a university yet; I'm in CCol planning on a uni transfer. So I dunno if that's what you're looking for.</p>
<p>I liked my gap year though. It put a lot of things in perspective, mainly the fact that I absolutely did <i>not</i> want to work retail my whole life (had a retail job for six months, hated it, and finally worked up the nerve to quit) and needed to go back to school so I could get a job I actually wanted. Plus, it was a nice time to relax after 14 years of schooling. And then eventually I got bored so I headed off to CCol.</p>
