I left for two years in the middle of my undergrad. It was a very positive experience for me. I don't think taking a year to get your shit together is necessarily a bad thing. But, a degree is a serious asset, so don't burn bridges.

IMO sometimes when you are making a decision, it helps to imagine yourself 10-20 years down the line. That time will come sooner than you think. Try to consider what that future you would have preferred you to do.

Best of luck.
