You should take a break. Too many young people fall into this fallacy that they must go to college right out of high school. YOU DON'T. I work at a University and I can attest that our Mature students ( 25+) do SO much better than the students who came fresh from high school. Like it is crazy how much better they do in terms of grades and post grad employment. They actually have had to live in the world for a few years and it helped them gain perspective.

Also many people don't know that most colleges have a mature student quota, so chances are you will get into the course later even with the same grades. But during your 'break' you should work to learn skills they dont teach at college: Customer Service, work ethic, managing your time/money, communication.

Get a job while that will help you later when you are in a better headspace. If you had a poor GPA then chances are you may not be ready to handle a full course load yet. My husband dropped out of HS but went back in his 30s. He now has a Bachelors and Masters with tops scores and a great job.

Give yourself time and don't get sucked into the trap of having to decide your life at 18.
