Deep breaths.
1. You didn't study the right thing at university.
So you've spent three or more years (and a lot of money) getting your degree, only to realise that after all that, art history isn't really your jam. Now what? Remember that your time at uni isn't just about academia: You also create lasting memories, learn a great deal about yourself, and figure out how to cook a decent pasta dish when you're all out of ingredients (spaghetti + jam is surprisingly delicious).
If you've graduated but feel like you need to learn more, take an online course, attend evening classes, or listen to educational podcasts on your way to work. It's never too late.
2. Your uni experience wasn't as fun as everyone else's.
Sometimes when I hear about other's people time at uni, I feel like I missed something, because everyone seemed to enjoy it so much more than me. To some people, being a student is the BEST time of their lives, while for others, it feels like a stopgap before adult life. There's no point in dwelling about this – everyone's experiences are different and unique. You haven't missed out because you didn't have someone dressed as a Smurf funnel beer down your throat.
