Anyone else stupidly excited for university?

I used to be excited but now I'm dreading it. I realised:

1) This country is really boring, except for London
2) London is expensive
3) I have to choose a subject to apply for but I'm not really passionate about any subject and I don't know what I want in life. I can't imagine having to study 1 subject for 3 years, I'd hate it.

I'll only be happy if I go to university in America, specifically in New York but it's unlikely as my parents won't let me take SATs plus tuition is like $60,000/£40,000+

I spend all my time researching universities and courses but it just makes me more panicked as I realise more and more that I don't know what I want. A year ago I thought I knew what I wanted to study, where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do afterwards etc. but now I'm so lost.

Good plan have you got like summer school/work experience/ other stuff lined up in the summer?

I study Maths at Bath

i remember my excitement in year 12 too, then results day crushed my dreams init

I've applied to some places and you have actually reminded me to write a cover letter! Haha, thank you! I'm hoping to do some work experience with a barrister.

I'm in year 13 and I'm so excited but I keep forgetting the fact that I need to get the grades first 😂

I'm completely excited for uni - the course especially I absolutely adore it, even living in a city for the first time

But at the same time I am seriously lacking in motivation for revision so it's unlikely I'll make it there which makes me wanna cry

pray for us loool, what you studying

Ohh, law eh? I see why you're working so hard now

We are in similar positions haha, I spend my nights clothes shopping and on TSR instead of revising and it's getting so bad! No matter all these blogs I read I can't be asked!!

Yes!! My law teacher is keen on my making it as a barrister too so she's been helping with PS and stuff so don't want to drag it out! I could never study maths at uni, a-level is hard enough

Aw. Are you happy-ish now or could the course/other things be better?

Aw no, that's annoying. We are constantly being told that we can do apprenticeships and go into work instead of to uni (straight away or at all for that matter). Maybe a path you could explore?

Only year 12 and I am buzzing for uni, someone tell me it is not just me! I have already started my personal statement lol.

Then i was very sad about it but looking back at it now, i'm glad i didn't get into my desired course.. content with what i will be doing in the future.

loool, will do. you will be fine! just revise as much as you can! i wanted to do pharmacy, didn't get the grades, then i applied for nursing - didn't get in. then thru extra i got "education studies" so i am studying that right now. (double failure, i know) but i am glad i didn't get into pharmacy or nursing - not suited for it. rejection isn't always bad!

Yup... well I spend my time looking at places to eat in my uni city and activities I can do...

have you looked at uni/course yet? any idea on what you wanna do? (sorry if you've already said)
