Don't look at college as the solution to the problem. You should go to college when you feel you know what you want to do and you feel passionate about pursuing it. I've noticed people nowadays push college without realizing there's something you have to do first before you attend and that is, to a certain extent, finding yourself. A more accurate explanation would be finding purpose in going to college.
So you need to ask yourself a few questions:
Why do I want to go to college?
What am I going to do with my college degree?
Is it really what I want?
Don't feel pressured either to get it right the first time. You don't necessarily have to make the RIGHT decisions the first time. Most of the time, you won't know the right decision, so don't beat yourself up if you find that you actually want to do something else. You need to make the decisions to narrow down your passions. The more decisions you make, the closer you get to discovery.
