Is this a bad idea for me to do this with my future plans?

Thinking about dropping out of college after this semester is over, to take a short gap break just to get everything with my future life plans settled first and then re-enroll back in once I got everything settled with my life to make things easier for myself. I've been passing most of my classes while struggling with some and then end up dropping them for the sake of preventing my GP from being tarnished. I work at a job that isn't very time management friendly with my other schedules and I'm trying to find another job that's willing to give me a full-time position or at least more hours.

At this moment with my current semester, I'm just taking only one Math class, which is Plane Trigonomentry and I still haven't passed a single test in that class while getting great grades on all my projects and good grades on most of my HW assignments. Right now, I work a 19-hour per week part-time job an just applied to a seasonal/temporary job to make extra money to pay off all my bills after spending money on Christmas gifts for my family. After that, I'll probably try to get a regular part-time job with that temporary job so I can work two part-time jobs and gain some more work experience while I may be taking one semester of college off to get a bit of a break from it. However, that doesn't mean I'll stop myself from trying to get my degree in Software Engineering.

Am I stupid for making all these decisions and is it a bad idea for me to do this?

    A gap year isn't always a bad idea, it's a good way to go out and find work and gain experience! It's also good to give yourself a break other wiser you could over do it with stress and have a complete melt down! It's not like your choosing to drop out of college completely as your intentions are to join back after! Only you know what is right for yourself & whilst you have this gap, you may even find a different career path that suits you more better!
