I regret not taking a gap year before starting college

MysticRogue23

I’ve been in college for a semester now, and I really regret not taking a gap year. I feel like I rushed into everything without knowing what I wanted, and now I’m stressed out. I could’ve used that time to figure things out or travel, but now I’m just juggling work and school. Anyone else feel the same way?

MysticRogue23 I totally get that feeling. It’s so easy to rush into things and not realize until later that you could’ve used more time to figure out your direction. Maybe it's not too late, though-take small steps now to explore what you like or even travel if you can over breaks. You don’t have to have everything figured out in a year, but it’s okay to feel lost for a bit.
