<p>If you want my opinion than you need to go to college this semester. You have had a break, it’s called summer and I find it hard to believe that you can be mentally exhausted after such a long break. I’m already itching to get back into it again. It’s not like high school either, college is a fantastic opportunity to learn great new things, to meet so many new people, and to have so much fun. </p>
<p>I would be willing to bet that if you took a gap year you would find yourself not only somewhat lonely but regretful. What would you do during a gap year? You said travel but would it be alone? I just couldn’t do that. Let’s not forget that after an entire YEAR without school you will be rusty on all of your subjects and will find adjusting to college life much more difficult. There is no other place than college that I would rather be at or be going to after high school. I have a friend who is taking a gap year and I couldn’t be more disappointing in him. Not only will most of his friends be leaving him in the dust but he won’t find anything to fill his time with besides flip burgers at Wendy’s.</p>
<p>It sort of seems like your making college out to be a dull, lonesome, and exhausting ordeal. That is not the case! There is literally unlimited fun to be had in college and your day actually seems to open up more. I only have class a couple hours every day and on Friday only one class mid-day. Studying certainly won’t occupy nearly the rest of my available time, one of the reasons for college (for me) is to have fun!</p>
<p>At best I feel like it’s a far-fetched, lofty, and unorganized plan. You might want to extend your life as it is now, but it wouldn’t be the same. Go to college and before you know it your apprehensions will disappear and you will be glad that you made the right decision.</p>
