Well, I pretty much partied my way through my final year of university and had one of the better years of my life (note that 'partied' is a term relative-to-self, and that my version of partying is much, much tamer than many people's). I was making $300/week v my first full-time salary of $750/week, but the difference would have been worth it. Whether you stick around or not, I'd recommend treating it as a bonus 6 months in your life. Any projects you want to have a crack at? Any experience you want to achieve (walk the Great Wall, skydive nude)? Do it when you can, not when you have to make them fit into full-time work, significant relationships etc.
