Gap Year

If any of you are considering a gap year, let me give you some pro's and cons. 

Pro's:
1. You will actually and honestly find out so much more about yourself (if you have a disorder, you find this by doing little things, and if you don't, you find this by travelling, working etc.)
2. You will gain confidence as an outcome of point 1
3. You learn to get by without your friends close to you, in an environment that you choose (not like at uni where everything is overwhelming)
4. You live at home another year

Cons:
1. You will miss your friends. And it will be hard, but this, as will everything else, gets better with time (been on my gap year for +- 6 months, and i feel like i am a strong independent woman)
2. It will put you into the reality of real life sooner than at uni (uni is like school for grown ups (literally) and a gap year is not at school, and unless you shut yourself in your own home 24/7, you have to go into the real world (work, travel, make friends etc))
3. You live at home for another year

A short but sweet post!
Love y'all,

Adrianna
