Reference letter

 

I worked part time at an accounting firm for a really cheap rate to gain some experience during uni and while I'm in my final year I've decided to take a breather to focus on my studies. My boss loves me and wants me to stay on board after I graduate but I'm afraid it would be on really low terms. How can I tactfully turn him down and still get a good reference letter which should be helpful with my job search later down the track?
