As fall is rapidly approaching, students all over North America are returning to their busy school lives. Recent high school graduates are realizing how easy they had it in high school, and seniors can’t wait to get out of that very place. For those of you who are in my position - recently graduated and yet to enroll in post secondary, you’re probably unsure of what to do next, and feeling remotely frightened by your sudden freedom.I was so excited to have a year to ‘figure my life out’, while working and traveling, that I didn’t even think of how things could have played out. Now, not even a week into September, I can’t help but feel like I’m missing out on something huge. I’ll never get the opportunity to move into dorms for the first time with my friends, nor will I get to go to uni parties. Sure, going to school is about learning, but I feel as if I’m missing out on the social part more than anything else. This now leaves me questioning, as my friends trickle off and leave me one by one, was taking a year off really a good choice?
