Ask HN: What to do on a gap year?

Tuesday would have been the day I left home and moved to college. But after thinking for a while, I realized that I was rushing a bit quickly into things. Going from high school to college within the span of 3 months was a bit too quick for me so I requested for my admission to be deferred.

I now have a year to pursue the things that I want to pursue. The thing is apart from web development and developing Android apps, I don't know what else to do. I just started a part-time job as a developer which has the option of becoming full time in the future. I should say I took the job mainly so I could gain experience for future purposes because I really want to be a software engineer but without experience, it's kinda hard to be.

I know an existential crisis is inevitable. I was wondering what HN suggests I should do. People I've talked to said that I should travel but traveling is really enough for me. I have no idea what to do to be social.

So what do you suggest I do during my gap year HN?
