Mall debt
The mall president should not have invested in more malls, especially these last couple of months. With the economy the way it has been sop wish-washy, he needed to think about laying low, instead of investing at such a hasty decision. He has now lost too much money.... crashing under that much debt... maybe he should of sold some malls to keep his industry a float.

Gappers
When someone talks about taking a gapper, they're referring to taking a year off graduating from high school before moving on to their freshman year in college. Many expect a nice break from school, to get a head start in the next year. Taking a gapper students experience more and figure out what they really want to study when they apply to college. In my opinion taking a gapper can result in no college at all, because students put off college for one year, and find a job, or still can't pay for college. Then the next year after that they don't want to go to college still. Just go to college to take general courses and see what your interested in. Unless you can stay focused enough taking a gapper and proceed to college when your year's up.
