I think I'm going to take a year off before starting college.
why do you want to take a break before entry into graduate school?
Well I think it'll be a good chance to relax and recharge my mind before entering into a focused atmosphere again.
that's really smart! I've heard some people take extra courses, volunteer work, travel and do cultural exchanges during that year
Cultural exchange seems like a great idea, I'd love to visit Japan!
you should! It's so much fun! I was an au pair (a nanny from a foreign country working for and living as a part of a host family) and it was such a wonderful experience
