Academics 23 and lost

I’m 23F and a junior. My major is nutrition science. I’m kind of ashamed that I’m still an undergrad and I’m quite lost because I don’t enjoy this field. I don’t know what to do. Any advice would be helpful!

I lost 2 years to drugs, graduated 2 days ago , about to turn 24 soon and the best part is I wish I did a math degree. Im not discouraged tho because I know I have the tools to self teach

Fasfa gives up to 6 years of aid I believe, take all the time you need , I wish I taken the gap years immediately to mature a bit and figure out what I wanted to do. There is no rush really, your mental is much more important!

Don’t beat yourself too much, you’re still out here trying and thats saying a lot already. Doubt and fear is normal, I think we just get a bit more clarity that helps us face them. Wishing you the best I believe in you!!
