I went through hell in my last year of undergrad because my program and professors were illegally terminated. I took a gap year to navigate what I wanted to do and recover from such a difficult experience. I ended up getting a job in a field that I loved, and am currently pursuing a masters degree for it. You are allowed to take a break and see what life can offer for you. ❤️

ahhhh i’m so happy for you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i really want to go through that path as well also because i have no clue what i specifically want to do and my therapist even recommended me to take a gap year, but my parents (who are helping me pay for college/living/groceries/etc - which i’m so grateful for) are pushing me to go straight to grad school instead. idk what to do :/ thank you so much for the reminder though because i lowkey forgot that was an option…
