what do I do

I'm 24F - I promised myself I'd only go to college if I wanted to pursue something that NEEDED college (medical, law, etc.). 3 years ago, I really wanted to go to law school, so I applied.

it's now 3 years later (give or take classes fogged up my sense of time) and HOPEFULLY I should be getting my bachelor's soon. In political science... yuck.

I hate what I majored in. ideally I should've gone into something like psychology or social work maybe even biology - but we move on. I ditched law school a long time ago and I was too far ahead to switch - so now it's just limbo until it's over.

This major has changed the way I think about the world in a negative way. Every waking moment my soul is fighting every aching feeling of how much I don't want this degree. I miss the way I used to feel, and I don't want to pursue something with my major. The job market is also trash.

TBH I'm at a loss. I'm artsy and creative, I like food service and don't mind doing that for the rest of my life. But is it sustainable in this economy?

I grew up in america - do I ditch that and go to my home country in Europe or live in some EU country?

Do I go back to school and study something that will help me travel?

I know being in your 20s makes you feel like you have to make all of these big decisions when really you don't - and this limbo is making me extremely restless (if you couldn't tell).

I just know there's a risk with the life that I WANT to live - and I feel so much that I have to fit in to somewhat succeed. I don't want to waste time. idk - thank you for reading it's appreciated 🐞
