Default Winning player, but thinking of quitting poker...

I had a minor downswing last night (-20BB). Went to bed, turned on the TV, watched a movie then felt like "I don't know if I want to deal with this anymore." I enjoy the money, rocking the 08 tables at least at 4-5 BB each, but my heart isn't in the game anymore. I don't play for a living, nor do I feel burned out, but I had an overwhelming feeling "wow, I've wasted a lot of time." I'm in college, and I find myself winning or burning through a week's worth of work for my friends who would probably react like that kid who was cutting himself after a downswing if they went through the worst of my downswings.

I don't know what to do. My first instinct is just to withdraw the 2k or so I have and just go somewhere. I also feel like maybe this is just passing, but are existential crisises supposed to happen at year three of playing poker?
