<p>Hi all...I really really want to give acting a try in NYC..I am 18 right now just graduated and going to Duke next year....I was thinking of deferring for a year to try acting</p>
<p>I have gone to prep school my whole life...and my parents are very strict about academics....has anyone taken a gap year, can you tell me the pros and cons of this? what do you guys think, for me...should I take a gap year to try acting? </p>
<p>I have lots of friends in NYC so i think it will be fun...and I just don't know if I am ready for college yet...but if I go next year as a freshmen I will be a year older than everyone else and I feel like that's awkward as a girl...</p>
<p>hehe thanks all i need to decide this week</p>
