Putting off college was good

I took a year off before going to college as well - I lived and worked in China for a year and studied Chinese, which is what I’m now studying at university. I think that a well-planned gap year is the kind of thing that you never have another chance to experience… So yeah… I mean, it’s not like you ask people their ages before you go up and start a conversation! Out of the 15 other people studying in my Chinese class, I think only about 4 DIDN’T have a gap year. I guess it’s just more common in the UK…
