Community college

So high school didn't work out for the best and you ended up at community college. High school is a tumultuous time for everyone, and sometimes your grades reflect that. And yeah, community college does get a bad rep, but this is probably one of the more noble gap year options. Taking a beat and trying to prove yourself in the academic realm so you can get your shit together is an integrity move. 

I can't even knock this one. You're probably the most stable and grounded out of all of the gap year archetypes. Good for you.
