I left for my gap year on Sunday. I came home on Monday. Now I'm going to uni this year instead (although everything's a bit up in the air cuz I applied for accommodation and everything too late). Basically, I knew in my gut that I didn't really wanna do my gap year, and I was super jealous of all my friends going to uni this year. So I'd say go with your heart rather than your head on this one, only you know what's right for you.
