I'm in your position right now. I didn't want to go straight into uni because I wanted to find out what course would suit me best and find myself within the gap year but I got forced to go by my family.
I've spoken to people outside of my family and they say do what's best for you. And it's true if you know it's not for you why are u doing it.
I recently withdrawn my place at uni, and honestly I'm so happy words cannot describe how I feel. The point I'm making is do what's best for u, do some research and talk to people e.g professionals or other family members.
Just beware tho there's gonna be people that will say just stay for the year and then drop out. Don't listen to them because they cannot determine your happiness ONLY YOU KNOW!!!
but good luck βΊοΈππβπ½
