Law School Discussion

I'm sure this is mentioned somewhere but! Long story short. My girlfriend of years left to law school a month ago, and within the first week she said we should take a break for at least year one is over. The old saying goes; let her free and if she comes back shes yours. I want to know if there were any success storys of getting back with your s.o. after you get use to the stress or so. Its my last year of college and its killing me.
