Semester off?

<p>I don't like my school at all. I'm a freshman at a small school and it's worse than high school. I haven't found a good group of friends and the academics are ripping me to shreds. I'm miserable here. I'm thinking of taking a semester off but I don't know if that would put me in danger of not being able to attend another school after that, especially if my grades don't turn out well. I feel like I need a breath of fresh air and a break. I don't know what my options could be if I did do this.</p>

<p>Go do whatever you need to do! I had moments during this year when I felt like giving up, but I’m still fighting for it, and this is what I’m going to do for rest of the year. I may take one year break next year, but I’m gonna see how it’ll turn out in spring semester.
And if you do not like your school, consider transferring!</p>
