I feel completely lost about what I’m supposed to do next

\​

I honestly don’t know what I’m doing with my life right now, and I could really use some advice from people who have been in a similar situation.

I recently came back from Ghana this year, and now I’m trying to figure out what my next step is. I have been dealing with my university application, and the university has told me to hurry up and complete everything and provide my certificates because induction is coming up soon.

But the thing is, I don’t even know if university is definitely going to happen for me. Part of me feels like I might have to go back to college and do an Access course instead.

I just feel like things haven't really gone the way I expected them to. When I look at my life and try to imagine where I’m going, I honestly can’t see a clear path anymore.

I’m not necessarily looking for someone to tell me exactly what decision to make. I’d just really appreciate hearing from people who have felt lost, had to change their plans, go back to college, delay university, or completely rethink what they wanted to do.

How did you figure out what was right for you? Did you eventually find your direction, even when everything felt like it was going wrong?
