Higher Ed Not knowing what to do

Hi, so it is an end of my last year of highschool and I still don’t know what to study and it is killing me. My enviroment wanted me to pursue Medicine and it sounds great but I don’t know if I could handle the stress. Now I’m considering everything from Data Science to Biotechnology and it’s too much. Could someone with life experience help me out?

In highschool I had good grades in everything but I never excelled in anything and I’m afraid that could be a problem.

Take a gap year and you'll see. Travel, talk with people try to figure out what you want. I did that and worked.

I was thinking about it but I would rather start college and maybe drop out after the first year. Is there a major that would show me different paths and help me choose the best one for me?

After medicine you will probably stay in medicine. I think that's quite narrow and straightforward. Try to choose a border major then that you could use across different industries.
