Need some general life advice or any kind of positive feedback?

I just want to share my situation and what's on my mind with anyone who is willing to listen! =) I just want to share my heart, but anonymously. So, here goes. I am new in this pretty challenging University. I just transferred from a community college. I am having a hard time. But its not just about the school. Though that is currently where my inner struggles are manifesting. I just want to get away. And I think that may be a bad habit of mine, to want to get away from challenging situations. I just feel like I want to start anew. I want to be away from all that's here. From my family and my community. I want to make my own new decisions. I feel like I have been making all the decisions in my life for reasons other than my own, and I don't even know what I want anymore. So I just feel buried under the weight of others' expectations, and feeling blind to my own heart. That's all I will share for now. I don't know if any of it really comes across clearly, but if you have any thoughts, feel free to share them with me. Thank you!Need some general life advice or any kind of positive feedback?
You really need to figure this out. If you are going to school for all the wrong reasons and not taking classes that are going to help you get where YOU want to be then you need to make a change. But if you think you are just under pressure and scared and getting the I need to run syndrome you need to know that so you can combat it. Stop and look at how you really feel about all this, Think about how you feel when your parents/friends etc give you advice or tell you what you should be doing. Just by looking for advice on here you are showing that you are still not sure of what you want. You are still looking for someone to tell you what to do. Are you afraid of making decisions? Do you even know what really makes you happy, inspires you?Need some general life advice or any kind of positive feedback?

This is a challenging time in your life, you probably just want to be free, but there are so many responcibilities you have to take care of. Life is not about knowing the answers, it is about finding them one at a time, some times it can be difficult and some times it can be down right painful. The only thing I can promise you is that you will be ok.
Maybe you could transfer universities? A university away from home, that way you would be more dependent and could make more decisions for yourself.
