How to spend a gap year

[sweet jane]

Hey everyone what's up

This question is in my head night and day, and since you guys are an open minded and creative bunch, I thought I'd get your opinions......



I've got from now until Fall of 2008 to do whatever the fuck I want. So what should that be??



I just graduated last month, and I'm starting grad school then. Right now I'm home trying to make and save some money (seems like you can't go anywhere or do anything without that). I'm thinking about moving back to Albany where I went to college, but I also want to go out and do something totally different. Right this very minute I just wanna get in my car and see how many places I can get to before I run out of money.

What do you guys think??? What would you do, what has anyone you know done? Maybe I should just join the circus.

Thanks!!!

How much money do you have right now...? And how much are you willing to spend. Why not take a road trip with some friends anywhere. Maybe go to a concert a state or to over? Things add up fast though.

Save all the cash you can and embark of a journey of a lifetime.
Try and cover as many cool places as you can.
I can think of a million things I would do if I had the time to do it.
All depends on how much cash and time you have. If you give me an idea of how much money you have, a proximity of where you live and how much time (actual) you have I will tell you exactly what I would do.

Find a spiritual quest, then go get it. The world is counting on you. Make a difference.

i've got about $2500. I live in upstate ny. I've got some friends scattered (and a belief that we're All friends! hahaa :)) and some grad schools I wanna visit so I'm thinking I might go from where I am to all those places(fort collins, co; coronado, ca are a couple), ending up in my dream destination, Oregon (yes, it will be like the oregon trail haha), then going up to Vancouver (another dream spot). By the time I get there it'll be my old school's spring break, and plane tickets from Alb>Van are only about $220, so i'm thinking of making my 2 closest friends from college fly to vancouver to party w me then drive back to ny together. we went to montreal on our freshman yr spring break it'd be too fitting. Then once I wrap that up I might go to this serious like commune in the Berks. 'camp and conference center' you can do a work study and just live there.

what would you guys do??

I went to Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada on my gap year with my best mate. Fucking amazing time, I would seriously recommend doing a trip of some kind while you are in the good position to do so. You may not get another chance before your old.

Don't just sit around wasting money on bollocks, GET OUT THERE! :D

A gap year aye? Well, do nothing. Just sit at home, swear at the TV and smoke.
