Have any of you done this before? Do you regret it? Right now I'm really considering doing this for the upcoming Spring 2016 semester.

They never tried to stop me, but they werent really supportive of me taking any time off. My pops thought I was just gonna call it quits, but I told him I was just gonna take some time off and come back and graduate. He didnt believe me but I think he said something like "alright do whatever the f--- u want".
He aint the type to spill his feels out, but when I graduated he gave me the biggest "im proud of you look"

But yeah ultimately its up to you. Youre always gonna have people disapprove of s--- you want to do, you just gotta do whatevers best for you. As long as theres an actual good (for you) reason to take off a semester, id do it. Just know u gotta do what u gotta do.

Whenever I feel bad about not going to college I use tender to f--- a Co-ed in her dorm room.


But, you should probably stay in school.

What? Education shouldn't mean you get tied down.

We only pay back once we start earning over a certain threshold. It automatically gets taken out of our salary. It's more of a graduate tax than a loan for us.

It depends honestly, why do you want to take it off? I've done it before. At the time a few people had quit at work so I had a lot of pressure to step up, but I was also in school full time. Semester was tough so I took the next one off to kind of reassess how I was going about school. It helped because I was able to get my priorities back in order and figure out a way to be successful at work & school. I wouldn't say it's hard to go back, especially if it's a goal of yours to finish. You'll lose a semester of time which obviously means you're delaying your degree, but in the long run it's better than wasting your time/money on a semester that you're not ready for.
