My father like totally freaked out when I told him I wanted a gap year before going to university (got admission in Cornell University for 2006, but defered it till fall 2007). I don't think he gets it, but I just can't take the thought of studying again so soon after high school. Besides there are just so many things I'd like to do which were put on hold due to my high school stuff. I'd really like to do some of those things before being shipped off to University. So those of you who have had gap years could tell me your experiences, whether the year out was worth it (besides travel) and any possible negative sides to it, it'd be majorly appreciated.
