Gap Year

Hi, so I’ve been at college for awhile now and it’s not what I expected it to be–I’m very overwhelmed by the work and am honestly burned out on academics, but didn’t realize just how much until I started Uni. I also have no idea what I want to do with my future/ what job I want to have. I was thinking of withdrawing my enrollment (I would have to pay for 50-75% of my tuition, but it’s not very much), and taking a gap year. Then I would possibly go to my local community college for a year to complete some of my gen ed requirements, and try to enroll in my University after that. Has anyone else done something like this?

This is not uncommon. My brother and some nieces/nephews have done that.
