The "college experience", however, won't be available anymore when you're no longer of a similar age as your peers there. I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on that.

Lots of people start college 2-3 years after finishing high school. That age difference is no big deal. I think many people actually benefit from taking a year or two away from school before jumping in for another 3-5 years.

Yeah I'm explicitly not saying time off in general is a bad idea, but it'd be a shame to wait too long/never do it.
