If you're not 100% sure of your options down try and make that decision within a limited timeframe. Give yourself more time so you fully know what you want your future goals to be. I was in the same position in my last year in College, I'd applied to several universities but the more I thought about it, the more unsure I was about my choices in subject and Uni. I pulled out of UCAS, ended up getting better results than my tutors had predicted then had a much better choice next time around. I'd always planned to take a gap year anyway, so I used the extra time to really think about what I wanted to do.

Take a gap year, get a job, get some cash under your belt and do some travelling. All cliched stuff I will grant you, but sometimes doing that sort of thing helps broaden your horizons and gives you a better idea out of what you want in life.

(Just don't go backpacking across Asia and then decide you want to live the hippy life at a monastery in Thailand. That's TOO cliched!)
