I wish I had that freedom. I haven't been (or have been able to be) very financially responsible. If I could, I'd leave here and take some time off and 'find myself' something I never had a chance to do. We don't do that "take a year off between college and life" thing here unless you have a wealthy family, and most of us never studied abroad.
I'd enjoy a trip if I were you. You have plenty of time to settle into the grind (I'm assuming you're not an 85 year old woman, since we don't really KNOW!)
