Some students are just burned out after intense years of school and extracurriculars and stressing about <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/sat\/sat-scores\/\">good SAT scores<\/a>. Others are just interested in seeing a bit of the world before jumping into more years of studying.  <\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t already, sit down and <em>really <\/em> think about why you&#8217;re interested in taking a gap year. Are you looking to do some self-exploration? Do you want to see another part of the world? Or are you just unsure of your next step?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re considering a gap year, you should have a clear sense of what you want to do during your time off. Let&#8217;s look at some potential ways you can spend your gap year from serving your community at home to venturing abroad.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"ideas\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Ideas for Your Gap Year<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have a sense of why you want to take a gap year, you can narrow down what you want to do during your time away from school. If you&#8217;re looking for a new experience or to learn about a new culture, explore options to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gooverseas.com\/gap-year\/jobs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">work abroad<\/a>. There are often lots of opportunities for students to work as nannies, teachers, or tutors all over the world from Paris to Peru! <\/p>\n<p>Alternately, if you&#8217;re interested in a year of service, you should research all the different nonprofits that offer volunteer opportunities domestically or abroad. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalservice.gov\/programs\/americorps\/americorps-programs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">AmeriCorps<\/a> offers volunteer opportunities where you can receive a stipend and financial aid in exchange for giving back to your community. <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"finances\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Can you afford a Gap Year?<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest things to consider when deciding to take a gap year is your financial support. Depending on what you want to do during your gap year, you may need a good deal of support from family or friends. Alternately, if you&#8217;re looking to work abroad, you may just need some start up funds and emergency savings. Before you take the leap, <strong>consider how much money you&#8217;ll need to do what you want to do during your gap year<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>You should also think about any potential impacts to your <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/college-admissions\/fafsa-application-ultimate-guide\/\">student financial aid<\/a>. If you&#8217;re already <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/hs\/college-admissions\/fafsa-application-ultimate-guide\/\">completed your FAFSA<\/a>, you may need to reapply next year before you start school.  <\/p>\n<p><a name=\"support\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Do You Have Support for a Gap Year?<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to financial support, you should consider <strong>whether you have the support of your family, friends, and teachers for taking a gap year<\/strong>. While others&#8217; opinions shouldn&#8217;t dictate what you do, you should consider the viewpoints of those you trust. Family and friends who know you well can help you see whether a gap year would work with your personality and your hopes and ambitions. <\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, however, don&#8217;t let anyone get you down if your heart is set on taking a gap year. Be confident in your dream. Set out a clear plan, your expectations for your gap year, and then show the naysayers how solid your vision is. They&#8217;ll be helping you pack your bags in no time!<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"pros\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Gap Year: Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<p>Time for a quick recap of the pros and cons of taking a gap year.  Feel free to grab a sheet of paper and make your own pros and cons list &#8211; sometimes there&#8217;s no better way to make a decision than by seeing the options on paper. <\/p>\n<p><em>Gap Year Pros:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n1. Extra time to think about what you want to study in college.<br \/>\n2. Time and space to recharge.<br \/>\n3. Opportunity to experience new places and cultures.<br \/>\n4. Chance to save some money before college.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Gap Year Cons:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n1. Lose momentum with your studies.<br \/>\n2. Start college and graduate at different times than your high school friends.<br \/>\n3. May have to reapply for schools and financial aid.<\/ul>\n<p>Again, <strong>take some time to think about any pros or cons specific to your situation<\/strong> &#8211; planning to room with your best friend? Feeling exhausted after a grueling year of classes and varsity sports?
