High schools are toxic in most places. It's all about tests and nothing else. Yes, some of the information you learn there is important, but it has become a race to prove who can get most A's and get the best test scores. (Which don't actually matter in the real world.)

This is very true. Gap years from high school are good. Wish I would’ve take one. Going in to college I was unsure of what to study and wasn’t sure what to study.

I'm currently on my Gap Year right now. Although I originally wasn't going to take a Gap Year i decided, during later this summer, that I'd wait and go to college sometime soon in the new year (2023). Since I also just graduated highschool back in May of this year (2022) I wanted to work for a while and save up some money for my community college that I want to attend. I remember when I was thinking about my college plans and stuff that I told my grandparents, that I live with, that I'd wait until either this spring or summer of 2023 to start college classes. And they thought that that was a good idea. Also with working in fast food I also, sometimes, tell customer about my college plans and how I'm wanting for college and they usually say that that is a good idea that I did. So in short I do think that taking my Gap Year was a good idea. Hopefully here soon I can start my way to getting enrolled at my community college but I'm going to wait until the new year starts and go from there. And possibly do some of my classes online as well

Am on a gap year right now, and my friends we all enrolled together are graduating this year. I am really happy for them but deep down it hurt me every second of the day, I can't sleep, I can't eat well, and I have been blaming myself, I somehow feel like a loser right now. I really don't know how to get through this.

Facts

To be honest I can’t tell if I should have taken a gap year because after high school I went to east bay in San Francisco and I live in San Diego and it cost a lot of gas money to get there , also my tuition was all paid for except for my housing and I was charged 5,200 dollar, I made a payment plan that way I could work and pay it on time but I couldn’t meet the payment deadline because I used that money for the gas in order to come back to San Diego , and I didn’t pay the deadline for December and I was told that I owed 670 dollars and I only had three days to pay for it other wise it would go to my record which shows I didn’t pay on the deadline I agreed to and it will stay there for 7 years , and I haven’t founded a job yet , i really wish I would have taken a gap year to just focus on saving money but I don’t think if I have taken a gap year I would truly start working for the money because I’m not in the situation I am now , I always asked myself if going to college would be worth it but honestly I went to college because I had a dream but now I’m not sure sure I can reach that dream. I’m going to see what happened in the future and after 1 year and half , if I have paid off my payment plan and been able to raise enough money and scholar ship , I’ll transfer to a college in San Diego , if I couldn’t save enough money and scholarships I’ll ask my councilors and teachers and old high school teachers what I should do , if it seems that I can’t be able to go to college then I will leave college and start working again to pay off my debt that I may own , I apply for the fasa but I hear that you have to pay it back in 6 months for 50 dollars a month , depending on how much my tuition was paid I’ll have to start paying for it for about 10 years , I’m glad I was about to go to community college and apply for a program that gives me two years of free tuition

I am going to give an gap year from college and come back in 2023

hi

like si tu fais cette vidéo en cour d’anglais 🙂🙂🙂

Gap years are for rich kids. The truth is covid just obliterated this argument because stress is not important. Life is important. A gap year with no direction is just the same as a gap with direction. You benefit nothing but figuring things out or not. Experience the world... internship, travel, and all the things only the wealthy can do. What a load.

This generation should be the happiest in history. Best educated, informed, entertained and fed yet they're the most miserable. What's wrong with them?

Video games shouldn't even be allowed in college dorms.
