Help or I’m gonna be dead overthinking all the night!

I need help y’all I took a gap year cuz of my father’s death and some personal reasons and now when it’s time for entry test like there are still 3 months but I’m getting so sooooo much confused what to do ppl saying you’ll be exhausted,and you’ll have to study and just study to get a better gpa,and no social life even tho like you don’t have a time to focus on some self care,time for homies I wanna clear all my concerns or I’ll be dead overthinking all night about this.if not fast then which uni?

Also I’m in a bit of a dilemma right now. I was initially okay with maths-heavy programs like CS, but now I feel like I wouldn’t be able to maintain a good GPA if I go that route. Honestly, I realized my strengths and interest lean more toward business, finance, and management rather than complex maths.

I want to do a business but I’m really confused about universities. Ideally, I want a reputable uni, but I don’t wanna locking myself into 24/7study stress. I’m worried about balancing mental health, family time and self-care along with uni work.

I’m not sure which path makes sense given my situation. I also want to plan ahead for certifications like CMA USA to have strong career prospects, even if I don’t go to LUMS or IBA.

Basically, I need a degree that is respected in Pakistan + good business career scope but also allows me to live a balanced life without burning out.

TL;DR:

I took a gap year due to personal reasons and my dad’s death. Now I have 3 months left for uni entry tests and I’m super confused. I realized I’m not cut out for maths-heavy programs like CS, and my strengths lean toward business, finance, and management.

I want a reputable business degree that gives strong career prospects (planning for CMA USA) but also lets me have a balanced life,time for family, for self-care. FAST seems stressful, and I’m not sure which other uni is worth it. Any advice on which path makes sense?
