Aww Sweetie, I know this is nothing you'll believe because you're really so young and young people never believe older people when they try to tell them about life, but I'm going to do it anyway.

I'm 41 years old. I had the life plan, too. Done with school by age X, married by age Y, kids by age Z, etc. Then you know what? Life happened. Things didn't go according to the plan. What I thought I wanted when I was 20-21 changed completely by the time I was 30. I finished my BA at 22, worked shit jobs until 26. Went back to school. MA at 28. Realized I hated my field. Back to school at 30. PhD finally done at 38 (btw, I was the youngest in my doctoral cohort). Got my first real job, doing something I finally enjoy - in a different field than I started out and doing something I never thought I'd ever want to do - 2 years ago. Along the way, I did get married (but a little later than age Y), but also discovered that I never wanted to have kids.

My point is, live your life and let things develop as they will. Don't be so hung up on what you think you should be doing or what everyone else is doing. Do what you want to do right now. Make decisions that work for you right now. There's always time to adjust your course. Also, I guarantee that those friends who seem to have it all together? They'll be adjusting their courses eventually too. Everyone does. That's just life.

+1 Advice from anon.

@amethyst: I was worried about the same things last year and I'm currently 25 years old. I came to realize that it doesn't matter what everyone else is doing. Trust me, everyone goes through life at different paces. It isn't a race. I'm currently working on my Bachelor's and most of the students around me are 19-20 years old. Seriously, you're going to fit right in.
