Answer 1

you have to find an option that will be the most beneficial to you and your sanity, like are you thinking about school, because then you can choose a bacholors if you see an interesting major or an associates if you want something that doesnt require as many years,

if you dont want to go to college so soon, then take a year off to recollect your thoughts so that way you wont be pressured, you can backpack around europe, volunteer for an oranization, get a temporary job etc.

theres so much time to decide and if you think you made the wrong choice, then theres always room to start on something else, just dont give up so easily and use your interests in life to decide whats best for you.

Answer 2

Its an extremely stressful time, everyone is pressuring you into making a decision that will affect your entire life.  When i graduated i was the excat same way (graduated in 06).  maybe take a year off to breathe, figure out what you wanna do with your life, take the time, work and make money for college.  I did that, and it set me up to succeed, im now going into my last year of college nad know excatally what i want in life.

dont worry, this happens to most people.  dont rush and just take something at school for taking something, i havfe friends that did that and completely HATe their programs and wished they had just taken a year off to figure out what they really wanted.
