<p>I am currently taking a gap year...and my common application doesn't really specify what I am doing this year...can I explain it all in my My Space??? Or is the my space only for artistic talents, special hobbies etc.??</p>
<p>Though I'm no expert, and just a prospective like you, I would say that should be fine. The "Your Space" says you can put anything you want in order to express yourself. I just wouldn't make it too long.</p>
<p>For mine, I just wrote a poem that expressed my mindset on some things.</p>
<p>Irugee is right. You can use the YourSpace for whatever you'd like... another short essay, a creative piece, a sample of something you like to do that' fun/different/unique, etc. The idea is that it allows you to express something that didn't come through on the rest of your application.</p>
