It's pretty common. The future is a big unknown, and especially for young people "the rest of your life" is a really long time compared to "your life so far." This on its own can be enough cause for anxiety, but combined with the weight of looming decisions that seem like they could impact the rest of your life it's really not unusual to get overwhelmed.

Take solace in the thought that few decisions are ever truly final, and that it's both normal and expected that you'll be considering a lot of different avenues along the way. You're not alone in what you're feeling.
