My head is a box filled with nothing - and that’s the way I like it.

This morning I was sorting mentally through everything going on in my life, and everything going on with my family. And it did my head in. Consequentially, I’ve just submitted requests to my faculties at uni to take leave from my degree for the next 6 months (with assurances of approval.) I think the break will do me good. I feel so… free. I don’t think I’ve felt this content with a decision I’ve made in such a long time. Here’s to hoping it was the right one! :)

Breaks definitely help! I’m not taking a full break from my uni, but I’m going to take some guest classes at a less stressful university. It does feel good to finally make the decision!

I did that too, took a break for six months. Not officially though, I just stopped going to classes. It helped heaps!

A break is always best. I thikn people too often forget about just doing nothing…

I’ve always just taken breaks whenever I needed them. It wasn’t always the smartest thing to do (like when I just quit uni last year — I’m looking for a job now because I can’t go back to uni, and it isn’t easy) but I don’t regret any of them. Some time to clear your head is always good. I hope everything turns out alright for you!

I do hope it was the right one for you… But even if it isnt, wrong decisions arent always a bad thing… Life is all about choices and making mistakes, you learn from each one :D

I also took a break from work/uni/everything, one of the best things I ever did. I also took a year off between Highschool and Uni, also probably THE best decision I ever made. I know what it’s like to just have everything creep up on you and go “BOO” at the same time!

Oh hun if you feel like it’s the right choice, then it probably is. I’m glad you’re happy with the choice you made. Sometimes you just need a break. I understand.

That’s usually how I feel when I drop a really hard class. Lol.

Personally uni is what keeps me sane!! You do what’s best for you at the time, and don’t regret any choices that make you happy. Besides we all need a break from time to time. Take care.

Breaks are a wonderful thing. Just don’t let it go on so long that you decide not to go back or make excuses for not going back.
