My ear's always open if you need to rant or whatever :) You could always defer for a year, take some time out and decide what you want to do. Then if you do want to go to uni you can. I wish I had deferred.

Haha don't apologise for how much you've written. I needed somebody to talk to. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one. I will just have to think of something and hopefully it will come to me. I know I'm not old but there's so much pressure on me to make a decision. We are even beginning to apply for uni now & I can't see myself doing that. If I could write all day, it would be heaven and I have a feeling I'll have to cut this back, now I've decided to resit.

You're still young, you have plenty of time to figure out what you want to do with your life. I'm 30 and I still don't know haha. You haven't messed up your life at all, okay so you don't want to study law anymore, that's fine. Just put a line under it and move on. Everyone makes mistakes, it's part of the human make up. We just have to try and learn from them and move on. No one would think badly of you, and if they did then they are douche bags xD I felt like a failure for a long time, but eventually I just had a talk with myself and basically told myself to stop being so hard on myself. You just have to find something that makes you happy. It may not happen right away but it will :) I'm currently doing an open university course in psychology, which is like so far away from what I wanted to do haha. As one door closes another one will open :) Oh and I wish I could get paid for writing fan fiction, that would be like the coolest job in the world! lol. I'm aware that I have written a huge essay. Sorry! xD

@ CherryV
I totally understand where you are coming from. I don't want to fail my exams but I've reached a point where I don't care too much about them anymore. I have no idea what to do nor what interests me enough. I wish i could get paid for writing fan fiction haha. I was like that. I had a plan and then it just all went wrong. I realised I didn't want to study law and now I've messed up my life. You're lucky though, having a job to fall back on and you're happy :)

Oh bless you. I know what it feels like, I was in college studying IT and computer programming and I put so much pressure on myself to do well that I ended up making myself really ill. I passed but I didn't get the mark that I wanted I thought I was this big failure, I had this whole future plan set out for myself, uni, become a programmer bla bla. But after finishing college I gave it all up to work part time at my mum's hair salon (not the most glamorous of jobs I know) but I'm happy :) I have time off to write and read. Just do what makes you feel happy.
