I quit uni

So I'm currently 19. I've always performed quite well at school. I went to sixth form, got 3 A-Levels (English Lit&Lang, Media and Sociology). After a long summer, university came around. I got into UOB (Birmingham). Long story short, I never wanted to go in the first place. I only went because I'm the eldest sibling and my dad pressured me to be the first one in the family to go to uni. I also wanted to set an example for my siblings. When I was there, I was deeply unhappy. I missed my family, I missed my boyfriend. But more importantly I HATED the course. I've always been so interested in Film Production. My Dad encouraged me to do a joints course because he said Film is too specialised and I should do English to open more doors. But like I said, I HATED IT. I'm a firm believer of living in the moment and making sure I'm happy. I could die tomorrow. As I sat in my shabby little uni room, away from the people I loved, crying myself to sleep every night, one day I made the impulsive decision to just drive home (3 hours back!). I wasn't willing to get myself into £50k of debt for something I never wanted to do and I just knew I was never going to enjoy. I never have regrets. Till this day I am happy with my decision. I'm working my ass off, saving for a mortgage. I recently got promoted to an assistant restaurant manager at 19! I've started my own little side hustle on Instagram. Most importantly, I'm happy. My point is, university isn't for everyone. I also looked into doing an apprenticeship but nothing interested me. The idea of doing one thing for the rest of my life bores me. So if you're like me and you're academic, but you have NO IDEA what you want to do with your life.. IT IS OKAY. Just start saving. Work your ass off. Hope this helped some of you!xx The quote 'life is what you make it' is actually true. I'm so glad I'm finally into the big wide world and not protected by the education bubble. You really have to put yourself out there and start making a living!

Wow theres no doubt that you have guts. I admire your strong sense of intuition. Of course only you know what you want. I personally went to uni and graduated last year with an English degree and I don't regret it at all but like you said everyone is different. Good on you and good luck for the future!! XD
