if your heart is not in the semester, you might not have a real good time keeping grades (you also indicated as such). Since you are going to make the decision I'll give my two cents on either course.

If you choose to stay in school, train your mind to not look at school as a stepping stone to something grander, but to look at it as a fun opportunity to enrich your mind and your awareness of others and their cultures. Make learning an activity that you consider not a requirement for a good grade, but a way to forget your problems and focus your mind for its own sake. Asking questions and making comments in class are good ways to make the course more personally valuable to you (not to mention helping your grade). I'd take a wide variety of classes so you can discover your niche. It's pointless to devote your life to a specific area only to find out you hate it. Continue puffing, but do it as a reward for finishing homework.

It's a good idea to take a break, too. But not to take it easy and sleep in. Get up relatively early, do activities of your choice, and especially try new things. You might find that something you do in your discretionary time might make you discover a passion that you want to focus on in school. I discovered that I wanted to study botany by having a hobby grow in my closet. If you do take a break, make solid memories because either way, you're young and in the best time of your life:jointsmile:
