don't go to uni if you aren't ready, you absolutely will fail out, one year of college is like $20k-$40k down the drain. it is much harder than high school too, if you don't have good study habits you will not succeed and it'll be a bigger shit show than just not going or delay going for 5 years until you're ready. getting certs or learning a trade will put you far ahead, not only do you start out at $0 instead of minus $80k, you start making money 4-5 years earlier than those getting out of uni, so you're like 10 years up at that point, and if you were going to fail out anyway then you're like 15+ years up
i failed out my first year of college and the signs were already there freshman/sophomore year, grades slipped each year and continued into college. the longer you think "i have time, later" the more entrenched your bad habits become and the less likely you ever actually pull through. you're essentially banking on cramming, but instead of cramming for a test you think "i'll just get my shit together junior year", which doesn't happen, "i'll just do it senior year", "ok well i still have a whole semester left", "that's ok i can't get into my first picks but i'll just start in community college which finally will give me the kick in the pants to catch up for years of bad habits", which also won't happen. better to recognize the reality of the situation soon enough to make the proper moves to set your life up for success
you are right though it's a bit early to throw in the towel, just make sure you take stock of your situation junior and especially beginning of senior year so you don't trap yourself into going to university and throwing money in the trash. good luck
Bro, at least your maths and science are good, for me, everything BUT those 2 are good 😭, like even if i don't study or prep, I can, at worse, average 65% to 70% and higher if i do, but maths and Science, even if i do study, are always fucked 😭 it's a miracle if I can pull out a 60%
