“I’m kind of tired with school at the moment. I’m 110% I’m going to go to college to get a degree because I want the ability to move up the ladder and earn a good wage. I’m not one of those people that if I chose to take a gap year I’d never go back to school. I just want a break.”

Absolutely the best reason of all for a gap year. And, you are also correct about getting through the culture shock. Separating that from dealing with college is a good plan.

If your grandma will have you, and you can keep your behavior up to whatever standards she requires of you, I think you should go to NC for a year.
