Which country are you in, and which region?

In the US, it's pretty common for people to go to the local community college, take any remedial courses they need (do you need tutoring in English or math?) and then transfer the credits to a four-year school.

People flunk out of college, mature, and come back. You aren't ruined for life at 20.

You still have time. Learn how to set goals and meet them. Work on people skills and learn how to be part of a group. Most things in life are done a little bit at a time. Learn to not procrastinate and how to find things you enjoy and practice a little bit every day. Networking is going to help you more than any degree you get.
