Life

Guys, I wanted to go to EFLU for my master's in literature, but due to some problems I was not able to study properly, and I don't think k I would get in this year... I completed my bachelor's at 21, and took a break year, I turned 22 this month. Is it okay if I take another break year as well? Then, I'll be 24 by the time I complete my Master's. Bf says it's completely normal, even though I understand it, there are parts of me that feel like I'm losing the race...
