Gap year for graduating international senior

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting question here, greatly appreciate your help:)

I am a graduating senior in the U.S and have already been accepted to a graduate program and already accepted their offer online. I decided to take one year off to explore something outside research ( I will leave the U.S in this one year).

I will be graduating from my college in May. My question is, do I have to worry about any issues regarding the termination of my SEVIS or the transferring of SEVIS? Will my SEVIS status change after five months after graduation? Do I have to pay the SEVIS fees again next year?

Thanks a lot!
BTW, I would welcome any recommendations and thoughts about the gap year.
