Hey. I was in a similar place last year. I had planned to do something and ditched it at the last minute. I can understand how worrying and confusing this time could be for you. Because I was so lost, I took a gap year and volunteered in different places, to get some idea about what I like and it has helped me. Even though there is a lot of pressure on you at the moment, it will be alright. Is there anything that you want to do? And yes, adulting feels like an overwhelming process, but it doesn't have to happen overnight. Taxes, budgeting, driving, you can your time and get better at it. You can always reach out for help and guidance from teachers, peers, seniors, counsellors. You are not alone and if you think that most of your peers have figured their lives out, they haven't and that's alright. And you are not a failure, it's okay to be confused, and the fact that you do your homework means that you have a good work ethic. As a college student, I can tell you that it will help you! I could find one good quality about you just from a small paragraph, which could mean that there is a lot of potential in you. Don't lose hope and take care. Feel free to reach for help on this platform or offline. ❤
