1 John 5:14-15 (NIV)
14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
Ask him for what you need according to his will for your life and he will hear you. Because you know that he hears you already have what you asked of him.
Some disadvantages of directing your own path:
1. You'll be stressed and tired all the time
2. Your understanding is limited which means that you can't take all factors into consideration before making a decision
3. You might succumb to danger
4. You will be filled with anxiety
Proverbs 3:5-6 [NIV]
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight
Some of the advantages of GOD straightening/directing your path:
1. Prevents you from being lost or sidetracked.
2. Redirects you if you are lost or sidetracked
3. Decreases anxiety
4. You will gain peace
5. You will be more confident
6. You don't have to fight alone
Joshua 1:9 KJV
Have not I commanded thee?
Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

I have contacted a few students who recently transitioned to university and they have a few tips to share on what they thought they could have done differently to make the transition from secondary to teritiary education less stressful.
