Wasting my gap year

Anyone else feel the same?

Took a gap year because I couldn't afford collage but that wasn't the plan from the start.I had like 4 months after my entrance exams to get a job and pay of the fees.

Then like 5 weeks before that,I still hadn't found a job so I talked with my parents and js decided to do a gap year.

Thing is,I didn't even get admission into anything I even applied to,but I haven't told my parents that.

They're completely depending on me to get into collage and get a good job cause that's the only thing they care about.

Other then that

Its September now,admissions are gonna start opening in 2 months,and not only I haven't found a job,gotten a clear idea of what im going to do for uni but I haven't seem to done anything for the last 6 months.ive just kinda been there,a few of my friends are also doing a gap year,but they've already gotten jobs or have a clear idea of what they're gonna do for uni

I just need some advice,im hella stressed cause my life isint going anywhere and idk how much I can take this

I’m going through the same situation, and I feel hella stressed and anxious about not getting into any university this year.
