What is a GAP YEAR? A gap year is constructive time out to travel in between life stages. It usually means travelling, volunteering or working abroad. Often it means all three!

- Budget, but don’t get hung up on saving money at all costs so that you miss out on once-in-a-lifetime opportunities – have a reserve of money to fall back on. A gap year is about enjoying yourself – don’t forget you can do that at home too!

Top Tips for your Gap Year:- Do your research – speak to people who’ve been there and done it. Take time to plan and prepare – it can take 9-12 months to plan your gap year and to raise the funds, so make sure you give yourself time to prepare.

- Be open-minded – a gap year is all about new experiences. Often you’ll find that the word you use most is ‘yes’.

- Use the time to make contacts – this is an important time to develop networks that could help you in your future career. Get on the message boards and see if anyone is planning a similar kind of trip as you. Be friendly, get chatting, and start planning your gap year!

- Enjoy it – This is, of course, the most important thing

Weighing Your Options: Taking a gap year is not for everyone, but neither is going directly into university following secondary school. The bottom line is that the decision is ultimately up to you. If you decide to go ahead with it, think long and hard about how you are going to spend your time. Plan well and, above all, make sure that whatever you do, you spend your time productively, thereby helping to ensure a unique contribution to your resume and any future university application. Whatever you choose, remember that any time spent traveling abroad will be life-changing. Also, just do it. No, seriously. This is that "sign" you've been waiting for.rrrrr
