Ugh snow sometimes is literally the worst thing D: but shhhh let me give you a hug. If it makes you feel any better I might be stuck for 5-6 years as well. I'm a junior right now already and I have barely started on my major. But I am quite serious about perhaps taking a bit of time off. Start again with one class during summer break. Then a few more because the thing is that it's much more important that your healthy and happy than going through school in the fast lane. Because at least for me, trying to stay and struggle through it literally almost killed me. Everyone takes different amounts of time to get through their own issues and I can definitely say now that I'm so glad I took the time to learn about myself and work on resolving issues from my childhood before attempting a full load again.

As for the dropping out of school portion that is a decision you have to make yourself. It's a really tough choice to make most definitely and something you probably want to talk to your parents about. For me, I was too scared to do something like that because all my friends are ridiculously high achievers and I felt as though I could never show my face at family parties ever again (this was a crazy mental exaggeration I had but then again I also have a lot of pride). So I decided taking a little time off would be better and rethink it to come back later.

But either way, I wish you the best of luck! You can always contact me if you have questions!
