i'd do it, but I'm too self-conscious about my acne (the only thing that bothers me about my body).

only 1 year before college.
although I plan on taking a year off.
but basically, stfu.

I would not recommend a year off, but everyone's situation is different.

No offense, but the "experts" disagree with you.

And who would that be? My reasoning behind is that a year removed from academia might dull your desire to return to such an intense environment like college. Also it opens an age difference between you and your classmates. It's not huge, but I had a couple friends who were 20-21 year old freshmen and you could tell they were becoming sick of the immaturity of the 18 year olds towards the end of the year. Might as well endure that while you yourself are that way too.

I might like to take a year off before college. I'm already younger than pretty much everyone in my grade anyway so there wouldn't be some kind of age gap.

This. Everyone I have known who took a year off after high school has regretted it

 

[cookiecutter]

Really if it's financially viable to go straight to college you should do it. It's a blast, why delay it?

My girlfriend is being fucking stupid about college, it's pissing me the fuck off lately. She keeps making excuses about why she's not attending online classes yet. I just think she doesn't want to, which scares me.

I actually wish I had taken a year off. It would have benefited me greatly to see the mistakes my friends made during freshman year and prevented me from making some of the same ones myself. This applies to me specifically rather than a general rule however because, among other things, no one in my family has ever attended college before. I also tend to have a do-it-yourself attitude toward everything so I had very little guidance going into college resulting in my freshman year being a complete disaster.
