I'm going to be a senior in high school in 2 weeks I've had 3 years(so far) of French, 1 of German, 1/2 of Russian, and I've learned some Japanese on my own. I'm thinking of taking a year off and becoming an Au Pair, in Europe, but I don't know. Should I apply to college now? Which ones? What major should I take? Any additional info would be great! Thanks! P.S. I live in Ann Arbor, and a college close (within 2 hours) would be great!
