Pressure From Within And Pressure From Without

[Y]

Hi, I'm 19 years old, from Norway and finishing high school in a couple of months. 

Have you ever been in a position where everyone around you are laying plans while you are just sitting there with a dream of seeing the world without a clue on how to do it?

Watching, as deadlines for applying to universities run out, your parents practically screaming in your ear that you should apply. 

The outside pressure is slowly defeating the pressure from within, and I was hoping someone would share their thoughts and experiences on the matter.
