I HAVE SO MUCH PREASURE ON ME RIGHT NOW!

I can't take it! For the past couple of years I had no clue what to major in; taking random classes for liberal arts. But now I finally found a major (which I'm happy about). My family keeps pressuring and wondering when I will finish to get my associates degree and it makes me feel bad. As they say 'just get it done and be over with it'...it makes me feel so guilty...idk even suicidal... I just don't want to disappoint people. If I go with my new major, I have only two semesters left...IDK anymore! Can someone just for once tell me I'm doing good...I just feel like total **** and waisted so much time. I'm a good student, I just want a good career that's all...or words of wisdom?

Most liberal arts people are liberal arts people because we really aren't sure what we want to do with our lives and, being thoughtful, we wait a little longer to choose.  Then often choose again.  People in the hard sciences don't have this luxury, as their required course work starts in junior high school.  Life isn't a race, as long as you're still breathing you're winning.  It's good to have a well-paying career, but statistically there aren't really that many of them; most of use cobble one together.
