A gap year is very often beneficial, and if the opportunity comes up, don't hesitate to take one!
But first, what is a gap year? A gap year is a period, usually six months to a year, during which a student temporarily pauses their studies to focus on other activities. Taking a break from studying can be scary! Because it can seem weird 😵, because it's not common, because you're supposed to enter the working world quickly. Well, I'm telling you it's quite the opposite.
