sometimes, it takes longer for some people, myself included, to figure out what they want to do for the rest of their lives.
What I decided to do, and am still doing, is make myself to go to a community college. You can take any classes you want (it helps you become open minded at set up a list of things your interested in), while it is still going to atleast an AA or for transfer credit, I guess. And its something to keep your mind off of the pressuring of other people, in a way. Your doing something, so, they should be happy.

Just know, ultimately, you can take your time to choose what you want to do. Don't let others pressure you into doing what THEY want... do what YOU want, find out what will make you happy in life, and just go with the flow of your happiness ^-^

Die Sterne im Himmel waren immer da...

tell them you want to take a year off first to work out what you want to do coursewise, then get a job and jsut settle and hope they forget about it

Maybe take a year off and find what you want to do with your life.
And after that year go off to college, maybe learn a trade (they're needed and are well paying).
But, really you should go to college. Not many places will hire people with only high school education.

I don't think college and I will be a good mix... But in order to get any inheritance from my parents, I have to have a degree. I feel your pain.

=quidditchmom is one of the best people ever. No joke. Buy from her craft auction to help her raise the money to adopt a little girl

People around me at the moment are acting like going to Uni is something I AM going to do and will do. They tend to talk like "oh when you're at uni" or "after you finish uni".

Uni isn't for everyone and for some they need some time to get their head around what they want to do for the next few years.

Tell them you'd rather wait a year and figure out what you want to do than be almost forced into going and choosing something that isn't right for you and is a waste of money.

Whatever happens try to learn a positive lesson from it or just think of the positive things that happened during the time.

I like to comment on great art, I also like to try and create it.

I believe in god and he is my strength for all my weaknesses.

I'm in exactly the same position, except people don't really care what I do.
But I have no idea of any career that I want to do, I'm dropping out of 6th form in June and I have no idea where to go from there.

"If I revealed my secret identity, the whole world would go to shit."

Then scream. DO IT. Let it out.
Or just punch a wall or something.

I am in college now and I'm procrastinating just like I did in high school.
Great.

I didn't go to college. I would love to get the education, but the career I've chosen doesn't require a college degree, and I have gotten my education in other ways...

Follow the path that is right for you.

imagine peace

don't do what everyone else wants you to do. take time off and find something you really love. i worried too much about what my family wanted me to do, and now i'm stuck in my senior year of college graduating with a degree i'll never use. so be sure of what you want to go to college for.

good luck

If you don't want to go, you shouldn't.

I let people talk me into it and I'm regretting it, to be honest.
