I have an associates degree and I am working on my Bachelor's degree. And let me tell you it has been a grueling difficult experience for me both academically and financially to go to school. It's taken me a long, long time to get through because of both finical and personal set backs, and also because I have a learning disability that makes it very hard to learn and maintain information. And during times where I had to take time off from school for some reason, I have found that I have either forgotten information or gotten rusty in areas that I had precariously tried to build knowledge/skills in.
Plastron Café is 100% right, the self discipline and capabilities to study and write papers gets lost if you are away from it for a while. So don't let burn out make you rusty. try applying your self to keeping the skills you have learned sharp even while away from school. My legit biggest fear is graduating from college with pretty grades but still having a shaky grasp on the hands on skills I'm desperately trying learn in my field and not being able to make it as professional later on. That's why I have bent over backwards trying to find ways to supplement my skills, and it's not easy...
