Exactly. I have SO many friends who have really cut down their schedule or taken time off. One of my friends just decided two weeks ago to take a year off MIT and go stay with her Aunt in New Zealand. She left five days later. Obviously we all don't have those sorts of options, but my friend knew she needed the break, and she wasn't going to let anyone stop her or tell her not to. She just took the f*ck off and didn't look back. No one I know looks down on her for leaving for awhile. I'm pretty sure we all wish we had the balls to do it ourselves.
