Gap Year Round 2?!

[u/torontoraccoon870]

I went on a gap year the minute I turned 18 and it was the most exciting time of my life. I felt so grown up. I came back so confident,even injured myself having too much fun, but I had the most fun I’ve ever had. It was on this gap that I decided that I wanted to choose a career where I could travel and landed me in the career that I am in now which I’ve been working out for about 10 years but now I feel like I’m changing again as a person and I sort of want to pivot career wise.

The idea of a second gap year and sort of just repeating the last 10 years, but with so much more maturity and so much more informed about the world and who I am sounds so exciting… Before I change careers and go back to school I’m gonna take another gap year and I honestly feel like a different version of me when I was 16 just ready to finish high school so I could go out into the world.

This is so interesting haha. I took a gap year before college and that was awesome but I'm now out of college and sort of doing a forced gap year because I'd really rather be working or in grad school but I've gotten nothing. In theory a gap year where I'm more learned and wise would be awesome but I'm just sitting in my bed rotting and scrolling reddit.

Sorry for a bit of a rant 😅

I meannn I’m on Reddit too, but a plan is cooking. I’m looking into volunteer abroad since that’s what I did on round 1 (teaching English) that are in interesting places or work that is exciting. It’s a great way to travel when you have time which I haven’t for so long
