Life in the Slow Lane

Although taking a break between college and the next step in my life is not the ideal situation I had hoped for when I started college, it is the predicament I will soon find myself in. Although this gap is the result of much debate and hesitation, I still hope that some good will come of this break. I have many fears and worries about losing ambition and motivation, but I know that I can over come that. It is true that a short break can be an opportunity to "recharge your batteries", but this all depends on the length of the gap and what you accomplish during. If you take a couple months to study for your GRE, LSAT, MCAT, etc. then this may be a huge benefit to you. But if a couple months turns into a year or two doing nothing, then you may lose your drive to accomplish a higher education. Employers may also wonder about the significant gap on your resume. But don't lose all hope! Remember that your bachelor's degree is good forever and a gap can be filled with a number of eye opening experiences that your employer may find valuable. I will use my time between college and law school harder for the LSATs, gain some real world legal experience, pay back some loans and save money for law school.
