Taking a year off...

I did not take a year off and in retrospect, think I really could have used it. I would not have lived at home though.
Looking back, the best thing for me at that time would have been to leave town and get a shit job, paying my own way and figure out WHY I wanted to go to school.
I did leave town, got a part time shit job and undirected, unmotivated and unprepared for college, I landed myself on academic probation. I blew a year of college money..to say nothing of the battle to build a decent GPA over the next years. To be fair, I did learn a lot about me self because of the cost.
