I'm in tears now writing this because I feel my life's a mess. I'm off to university in 3 weeks and I'm so scared about it. For years I've been waiting for this moment but now it's come I'm just so worried while everyone else seems to be excited. I really messed my choices up and ended up getting a place through clearing, so everything's been rushed and I'm really uncertain about whether I really want to go or not. As each day goes on and on I feel more and more depressed and anxious and I just don't know what to do because I don't feel I can back out now.

What does everyone else think? Do I give it a chance and see if I like it or relax a bit for a year and reapply? I just don't know, I don't know if I can really enjoy myself properly and loosen up if I'm this scared about it all. :frown:

I messed up my results and gotta place through clearing i was a bit disappointed but i have found at the beginning of my second year i am much happier now where i am than i think i would have been if i had gone to my first choice and if i had gone to my first choice i would proabably still be stuck in a useless long distance dead end relationship, cheating my life away and i would not have met the man of my dreams who gave me the courage to end it.

I had a nightmare about starting uni every single night for the month between getting my results and starting :s-smilie:

I was absolutely terrified, but after a few hours was completely into it! You'll be fine, everyone gets nervous going to uni, it's a really big step, but you're all in the same boat and will shake down just fine. Just make sure you give it a chance- don't come home after one day! Try and give it at least a couple of weeks- after that it will probably feel like you've been away forever and you'll never go back (I know I don't any more!
Enjoy the rest of your summer and look forward to all the things you've wanted to do but couldn't because your parents wouldn't let you, or your friends didn't want to, or there weren't facilities in your area etc. that there will almost certainly be some kind of society for at uni!

i'm debating whether to take a gap year because i'm not excited about it all too like most my friends are, and i think i will be next year as i will have grown up more and be more sure it's what i want to do. Also the money situation is something that worries me and this time next year with a 9 to 5 job i could be £9,500 better off!!

or in debt at uni!

I don't mean to be rude but why do you just start using that as a reason for having a messed up life? How did you expect me to respond earlier? Your post makes out that this is the reason for your messed up life.

I shouldn't even have to give a reason. Why do people like you have to try and be smart arses and pick holes in everything rather than give people support when they genuinely need it? You can't judge someone just by one post so saying that my original post made it sound like I have a messed up life is a load of crap. If you have no real advice to give then stop posting rather than criticising all the time. I mean, who the hell do you think you are?

How is your view on uni today - do you feel like you may be ready for it or are you still a little mixed about going? :smile:

Hiya, obiviously i dont know completely about your situation but going by what you've said i would possibly have a year out. There is loads to do, travelling, work experience, volunteering abroad and after it you may realise you actually dont want to do the course your on! I originally took a gap year and went travelling, then when i came back in july i was supposed to start a psychology degree but like you said when everyone around me was so excited i just wasn't. I didn't feel ready and i couldn't get enthusiastic about the course so at the last minute, i opted out for another gap year. And i am so glad i did! It gave me the chance to do some more travelling and actually made me realise the course i wanted to do which was development studies. And so now this year i am actually really excited and cannot wait to go! Try and look at it this way > if you hadnt yet applied and had to apply now to go next month would you do it? if not then you obviously aren't ready yet this year and your probably worried about letting everyone around you down, but don't because at the end of the day people around you won't be happy and if your not!!

hey, i wasin the same situation last year, applied thru clearing, didnt have uni accomadtion and felt everything was rushed!.on top of this i already had a good job as a trainne civil engineer and wasntsure if uni wud b wise! in the end i decided to go for it and im so glad i did. its perfectly normal to be worried about uni. it can b over whelming for some people at first! my top tip for you if you go would be to embrace it with open amrs. if u go with all these doubts still in your head and with a negative attitiude u wont be giving it a fair shot! ul convince ur self u dont like it.

i know your in a mess rte now but just finc, either way ur in a win win situation. if you go this year, ul be in university, getting a higher education. if u go next year ul ave earned money for a year n still go to uni

i dont really understand why sithius is getting the hatred for his post. he was just saying that if he'd known the full story he wouldn't have posted originally the way he did...op says they shouldnt have to give a reason for what they said, but the reason does hugely change what can be inferred from the post.
