College can be tough. The adjustment from highschool to college schedules and work load can be a humdinger.
My personal college life went like this: Started freshman year 1992 with 12 credits. Got into trouble with a bad boyfriend. My parents came at Christmas and demanded I come home. They even packed up my stuff leaving me with little choice. Come Spring semester I was adamant I wouldn't go back at all. I stayed out until 1994 fall semester when I went back to college at a different school. My grades from my first semester were so poor that only 6 credits transferred. For the following 4 years of school I got D's or even an F in 4 classes, one of which I took twice. What got me through was a certainty that this degree is what I needed to do the work I wanted to do. I didn't get that certainty until I stayed out for a year. Sometimes getting a taste of college and then working in the "real" world for a while gives you the knowledge and determination that you need to get through. This is only a step on the road that you need. Time off is a good thing. I would even recommend it to my daughter when she is college age. If you are sure of what you want to do then nothing can stop you. Not even tough teachers and failed classes.
