Do not jump into college if you're not ready to. Everyone told me that I would have time to choose a major and "everyone switches their majors a lot". However, if you want to make things A LOT easier for yourself you will do your best to investigate what your true calling may be before blindly picking a school that might not even have a program for your area of study.
Go to career fairs, volunteer at different types of places (hospitals, animal shelters, with children, ect.), experiment with hands on careers, consider a trade school, explore your options. Get to know what you like, what excites you, what interests you, and so on. If this means you'll need to take a semester or two off than so be it. Just be sure that you have the drive to get back onto that horse.
Your education and future is important, thats why its okay to take the time you need to figure it out.
