dont know what to do with my life

basically the title. i’m just turned 21(f) and my parents are telling me i NEED to go back to school, like a college of academy to speedrun for a real job.

it’s not like im doing too terribly, i work at a bakery as a team lead and im being trained to manage inventory for two stores. but the management is a POS and my parents are trying to move states soon. so this position isn’t forever and they want me to have a backup plan. the pay won’t be nearly as good across state lines.

i’ve been out of school since february cause of burn out and i keep saying that im going to go back, but i really don’t want to. my parents are urging me to go to this local dental academy. but i can’t find the motivation to do it or really care. i don’t want to work with teeth, ive just been content and comfortable with being tormented at my current job. The academys classes are going to be once a week, on my works inventory day too, so like i feel like my “promotion” could be on the line too. i think i have ocd and ive been basically spiraling with the same suffocating cyclical thoughts since Thursday night. i don’t want to go back to college either, it was a literal waste of time since im not allowed on campus and cause of a credit issue i had. i don’t want to have a career, i just want to be drunk and high all the time
