A gap year is a welcome break for many students but can also be frustrating to others. It may indeed be a way to recharge your battery or to explore activities near home or afar that you never had time to experience before. However, students with lofty gap-year plans have been known to end up zoned out in front of “Full House” reruns or steamed up behind a fry-o-lator at the local Mickey D’s. Thus, before deciding on a year off before college, it’s important to assess your reasons for the change and to make sure you spend your time in an engaging way that meets these aims.
For instance, if your main objective is to get a breather from classrooms, tests, and homework assignments, a gap year can be a great way to do that. Whether you’re working full time, pursuing an extracurricular interest (e.g., training for a triathlon or interning at the local TV station), or taking part in an organized travel, study, or volunteer program, it’s important to have focus. We advise you to come up with a plan–at least a preliminary one–before you commit to the year off. One complaint we often hear from dissatisfied “gappers” is that, once their friends headed off to college in the fall and they didn’t have any fulfilling activities on the docket, they regretted their decision.
If you have no clue about what to do, consider one of the organizations, like those below, that provide gap-year solutions. Some charge a fee for this advice–and the programs they recommend can be costly, too–so keep that in mind as you proceed. (We aren’t endorsing any of these outfits. We’ve not heard bad things about any–only good–but it’s still a “buyer-beware” situation):
