I'm on my first gap year and have missed the deadline for ucas (but I know there are still ways of applying for this year ect)
I was considering taking a second gap year but wondered if two years is too much? I know everybody will say go when you're ready but that isn't whats really bothering me.
My best friend has always been the year below so a years difference, to me, means very little. However my sister is two years younger than me and when I'm with her friends I FEEL older. I don't know if its just because its my sister or what but I was hoping for advice from maybe someone who has taken two gap years.
Can you tell there is a difference in age when conversing with other students and do you feel it might hinder my fitting in or the making friends process. I might be panicking over nothing but 18 and 20 seem quite far apart.
(Completely forgot to add the crucial point!!) - Even though I am now on a gap year, I did start at a university in September but quickly realised that that particular course was not for me. Since then I've struggled with which course I should be taking because I thought the one I started on was perfect for me. So to find out it wasn't knocked me off balance a little bit. Although I'm pretty much set on which course I'd like to do now, I don't want to rush it and have to drop out once again
