Honestly, if you're not keen on going to university, consider pursuing an apprenticeship. You can start these right after finishing your GCSEs, so you don't need to wait. Few people I know are currently doing apprenticeships at a level below a degree.

It's important not to compare yourself to your friends or peers. Your feelings about university might change in the future. The pressure to measure up to others can cause a lot of stress when it comes to making future plans.

In reality, your decision to follow a different path might turn out to be the best one for you. You could end up happier and more successful than your friends who chose a traditional educational route. The future is unpredictable, so, personally, I would recommend apprenticeships as a viable alternative to further education.
