I want to be your friend! I mean, I want to discuss plans, convincing parents, stuff like that. Gap years are still fairly rare and I haven’t been able to meet many other people willing to consider one, and I would really appreciate a place where I could talk about it with like-minded people.
I want to take a gap year, but I’m only in the 10th grade so I haven’t put much thought into yet.
Even if it’s just to get a better sense of what other people are doing. I think it’s really cool that you know you want take a year off so early, I barely even thought about it until this (senior) year. Are your parents encouraging of it?
I’m not, but if you don’t mind me asking, what makes you want to take a year off? I feel like I’d be thrown off-balance.
I’m honestly not really sure
@LeopardFire I feel like I’ve just lost all motivation for school. I’d also really like to travel so I figured I could take a gap year and WWOOF or do something with like helpx. My parents don’t understand why I would want to delay my education but I feel like I just need a break. Plus I’ve been going on all of these college visits and students just seemed so stressed and burned out and I just feel like I need to do something new for a change. In short, I’m not really sure but it feels right.
