do i make myself happy or do i do what i know everyone else wants for me??
i am due to go to university in september but a few months ago i realised i was doing the wrong thing and did not want to go. this isnt just last minute nerves, i no longer want to pursue the career i had planned. i told my best friend and shes been brilliant but at the end of the day like she says only i can make this choice, the problem being i know my family would be very dissappointed if i didnt go, my dad is so proud of me for being able to do this and i feel bad for letting him down but am really unhappy at the idea of being forced into something i dont want. anyone have any advice??

Do what makes you happy because if you don't, in the end you'll resent everyone and yourself for not doing what your heart said in the beginning.

Well, the easy answer is do what makes you happy. But what will make you happy? Staying home with your parents? Going to a different university? Studying a different career? Why type of university have you been accepted to? You can always change your major you know. You can study whatever you want. Most people end up changing their majors anyhow, a few don't. You dont' want to be miserable in that career, but what are your other options at that university? Maybe you should explore that before telling your parents/family you dont' want to go to university period.

Go to your parents and talk to them. Im sure they would want you to be happy. Maybe there is some other path they can help you go down for your future. University isnt for everyone. Be honest with them about your feelings and let them help you! Good luck in whatever you end up doing!

Don't be to quick to freak out. ^_^(It's probably just last minutes nerves) go to a party or two come back and you should relax. Then rethink this you will probably realize it's not as bad as you thought. Okay hoped this helped! ^_^
