<p>I’m a freshman at NYU, just finishing up my first semester. It hasn’t been a great experience. I’ve had health issues and trouble loving NYC. I’ve made great friends, though. </p>

<p>I really think I should take a medical leave this next semester and go travel South America or SE Asia… I’d come back to school motivated and ready to learn, where right now I’m so burnt out from high school I feel passionless.</p>

<p>Let me know what you think!</p>

<p>You can travel all you want after you finish school. Don’t fall for that time wasting trap; you only think you’ll be motivated to finish after you travel. The truth is, you won’t be truely motivated until you’re stuck in a dead end low paying job, if you’re fortunate enough to be hired.</p>
