I took two years off after my second year. I was doing terrible in school upto that point and prayed everyday that one of my ideas will kind of mature and give me a genuine reason to leave. I got that chance and left for two years. During the two year break, I learned a TONNE...about everything I didn't know. It was pretty humbling. But even more educational! I returned to school last year. And it's been AWESOME. Nothing like the first two years. Before taking time off: I signed up for random classes. After taking time off: I nitpick each class Before: I didn't care if a class I signed up for sucked(for any reason) Now: I drop it the second I feel I won't enjoy the class Before: I didn't think I could learn much in class Now: I know areas that I outrightly suck at. Each semester I load myself with courses in one area(last semester was strategy; the semester before was marketing; this semester is going to be interpersonal communication). Lesson: Take time off! Best case you won't need to come back. Worst case you'll come back knowing what you gotta learn.
