Loneliness during gap year

Lol you both just described my job exactly! I'm meant to be the PA to a director but all he asks me to do is the aforementioned photocopying, printing and a bit of filing. I sit there doing really basic tasks to aid the department as a whole but that's dependent on other departments getting the work done and usually they're lazy, store it up for ages and then I have a busy hour or so and that's it. I also spend time on the phone to my boyfriend (he works in another department during the uni holidays so it looks less conspicious than me dialing his mobile all the time!), looking at random internet sites and chatting to the people on my desk.

Peeps, anyone who is on their gap year or thinking of taking one but not quite sure incase they get lonely....just do it and travel! I was in the exact same situation around september, didnt really know what to do as most friends had gone off to uni but I didnt want to go yet, so I bit the bullet and just took one. Then in November I plucked up the courage to organise a trip away as I've always wanted to go- I have to say I was incredibly nervous at the thought of living with people I had never met before for three months but now I know it was the best decision I have ever made; I met thirty new people who I would confidently call friends- infact we were just a big family really! I miss them all loads and regret not saving enough to go on travelling with them after, as some of them have done and seem to be having the most amazing time.
Honestly, I know it seems daunting but I couldnt recommend it highly enough and I know all of my friends would wholeheartedly agree. Bite the bullet and go for it!
