I felt this way when I was in high school. I wanted to take a year off, but was repeatedly told I’d never go back if I took time away.
I was depressed, miserable, and had no clear vision for what I wanted my future to be
I'm currently in a bit of a similar situation too, it's disturbingly common
My situation was quite a while ago, so I have lots of empathy for new grads. With everything going on in the world, and how expensive everything is, we should be encouraging young people to explore their options. Instead we squeeze them into a one size fits nobody box.
