I had a rough fall term and decided to take winter term off to work and fix some problems. I have a plan to return to school in the spring but many people I have talked to worry that I won't return even if I say that I currently want to. I'm worried that what they say may be true and I don't want to let all the people down that I said I would continue on.
I totally understand why you are taking winter term off. The best thing I can think of if you really want to return is set a date of when you will return (ex: Spring term this school year, Fall term next school year, etc.). Take some time to refocus on your goals and reasons for going to school. Yo never know where you may go. Stay positive and make a plan!!!! Good luck!
You're leaving school with the intent to return in just one term. I think if you hold yourself firm to your promise, you'll be just fine.
Although, it's easy to see lots of time ahead and put things off -- BEWARE! Be proactive with the time off from the start (I say this because I've squandered a few between-term breaks). Best of luck on your endeavors!
