I want to drop out of college

Let me start by saying I am currently studying a T-Level in Media. I have recently found and applied for an apprenticeship as a social media apprentice and it fits the criteria of what I want to do more than my college course. I started college in September 2024 and it is now March 2025. I really want to take this apprenticeship as I don't know if I'll ever have the opportunity if I wait and study my course.

In all honesty, my friends at college aren't the greatest either. They're on my course and constantly leave me out (hanging out together, ignoring me in college etc etc) and I have spoken to them about it and all I got in response was false promises. This has taken a toll on me mentally as it happened in secondary school too. All of this combined was the reason I had applied for the apprenticeship and got a response back in two days. I still need to go to the interview so won't do anything until I hear if I have 100% got the apprenticeship.

These situations have honestly put me in a difficult place as I've always wanted to do an apprenticeship however feel guilty leaving.
You feel guilty why?
It's your life, you don't owe anything to anyone - do what's right for your future.
