15. Gap Years Travelling The World Are For People With Rich Parents
So you've been studying for, what, near 20 years straight? Sure you had months off at a time, but you were only a child, it didn't count! You deserve a year off, a year to see the world. Life is, after all, much more than a 9-5 until you die. There are waterfalls, and safaris and little black children you long to give clean water to, but only if there is a camera recording it to prove how good you are! Well, shut it. None of that is for you. You know who that is for? That's for your friend Tarquin who did History Of Fine Art, and whose great-great-great-great grandfather led the cavaliers to victory over the roundheads in some minor battle in the English Civil War. You see, since then, his family have been what is known as "Upper Class" which means they don't need to work to live. Unlike we, the plebeians, they can take whole years off to explore the wonders of planet Earth. You need to get serving McChicken Nuggets, and be thankful you aren't in a slum in Mumbai.
