Chain "skip"? Any idea?

Just recently my chain at times seems to almost skip, my pedals go about half way around until they hit any kind of resistance again. I went ahead and gave my bike a head to toe cleaning despite it already being quite clean just to make sure i didnt have **** stuck anywhere. I don't think this has helped. Like I said it doesnt always happen but the skips kind of make me a little unsure at times as they usually happen when im really hitting the gas or just as i start to pedal (usually at a traffic light so everyone gets to see me almost fall Is there a chance my cogs are just getting old or any other suggestions?

Btw I ride a '10 Rockhopper comp with discs.. So iv been on it 2ish years and have never replaced anything cept the grips n pedals. I ride almost every day but alot of it has been on the street to work/class. Anyways sorry for the long read, any ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
