What should I do about school?

I am going through a bit of a hard time in my first year of college.

The stress is building, and I was thinking about taking off second year, collecting myself, and then going back in 2011.

I did really poorly on a midterm today (58%), and it is the worst mark I've ever gotten so far.

Should I finish this semester as best as I can and then take a year off and continue my studies when I've taken some time off and collected myself?

(I was wanting to do an exchange through the school for third year and I do need to save my money and keep my average at the 70% mark... which seems unrealistic at the moment.)

    My advice is to NOT take a year off. This is distract you, and you will become unfocused and unmotivated to return to school. This will ultimately lead you to consider dropping out. I say try the best you can, and just get by with a Low gpa this year, and next year make it up by trying harder.
