unproductive gap year?

I spent my gap year sitting on my arse watching cricket and not doing much else

Just because you didn't travel to some far away place or have a life changing "fun" time doesn't mean it was unproductive, infact most of the people who have productive gap years tend to be the most dull people in my experience, incapable of feeling secure by themselves and constantly trying to find themselves in other people and places, they might seem alive but they're just kidding themselves.

Don't worry about it and if you really think the drugs are affecting you, talk to your GP.

You speak wisely :biggrin:

I second this comment. I had one of those really unproductive gap years that I spent most of my time praying (I'm a Christian) but since I got to uni I have experienced a number of problems that I really believe without that time in my gap year I would have given up a lot sooner.

In my opinion, gap years are about discovering who you are. This can be done by travelling, working, praying, or even watching cricket. It really doesn't matter, as long as you feel you have benefitted in even a really small way.
