How do I know what I want to study in university?

I would say try and work out what career you may be interested in in the future. Talk to a career’s counsellor or do some own research to find out what major may be best for these. I agree the idea of psychology or sociology may be a good major, with one of your other interests as a minor.

I would not worry too much about what your mom says. She will be worried and want the best for you, but I am sure she will support you whichever you choose. The best thng to do is do your research and explain exactly why you want to pick the major you do. That way she will be more likely to be supportive.

You can always take a gap year if you need, and maybe get some work experience in different professions to see what you may like. You can also earn some money in order to help pay for college. Getting experience in different job fields (just write to some companies or places of work to ask for a week or so there to try them out), really is the best way to find out what you may want to do, as is asking anyone from your school designed to help you find a career.

Just make sure you choose something you love, or you will hate college. And remember, when you start, it is never too late to change major if you feel like it :) good luck
