    Should I take a gap year?

    I think for anyone with mental health risk (usually exacerbated by the HSC...thanks department of education) a GAP year is a good idea to get a bit of perspective on life, realise your life isn't school-uni-work, and just take time off to put things in perspective. You can always defer uni!!!
