The Problem is, I have >not the slightest< idea about what to study in University or what my future job could be.

Would you say IB is worth all the stress and pressure? I mean, I made the decision, I'm doing it, but sometimes I wonder if a happy life with more freedom could be more important than going to a good school and having the most respected Diploma worldwide...

Don't get me wrong, I loved the IB, even with the ridiculous amount of pressure it has helped me be the person I am today.
You will curse the IB, you will hate it, you will complain about it- but looking back, I wouldn't change a thing (except for psychology HL- should've done another social science..).

Art pushed me. I'm naturally good at oils and painting- but I've found 'my' medium- colour pencils on black cardboard. Don't regret that.

PM me if you have any questions!

Why are the predicted grades always so important? They don't actually matter, do they?

They're used to apply to UK (and perhaps other) universities. Also, at least at my school, if you fail the IB you get a high school diploma with your predicted grades (so you don't actually fail high school).
