Kinda OT: Should i take a semester off school?

[ZJ123]

Well recently i have become increasingly un-motivated to go to class and doing school etc, and i have been really thinking of taking next semester off (and basically playing poker, traveling). there are many down sides, including upsetting my parents a lot, and possibly never going back to school (which many people have mentioned to me, once you leave you will never go back). Im basically in my 4th semester of college right now. I go to a [censored] state school and get average to bad grades and im currently a business major. Obviously a big choice, and i was hoping too get some feedback, thx everyone
