Plenty of the most impactful people in history had no clue what they wanted to do until they were in their 30's. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you're not going fast enough. You have time to figure it out.

Sure, but in the meanwhile you should make the most out of what opportunities you have now. Don't slack off in school because you assume you'll figure it out later. Study hard, get good grades, socialize, make connections. No one's ever screwed themselves over because they did too well in school.

to add on to this, my degree didn't even exist when I finished high school. I got it later in my 30's.

This, I'm almost 30 and still get lost some times, and constantly feel like I'm not going anywhere. Everyone is different and we all move at our own speeds. Just keep your head up and keep at it.

I completely agree with this, but I don't think it's a good reason to not study. It took me studying and learning things I didn't care about to figure out what I did care about

25 min at a time, breaks in between, and try to focus less on how much you have to do and more on the one page in front of you

You're really awesome. I never thought too much about my problems but reading through a lot of your comments made me feel like my mind opened. An epiphany of sorts, I guess
