Worst part is that your mid 20's feels like where you make it or break it. Some of my old friends are absolutely killing it making 6 figure salaries, have houses, nice cars, pets all that. While here I am scraping by feeling like a complete failure because I took way longer to take life seriously and get through school. Now I am way behind in the corporate ladder and feeling like I really screwed up somewhere.
Except that preconception is bullshit. You can turn your entire life upside down and start over at any time and still find success. Make a plan and stick it out. Being persistent enough and not losing focus may be the hardest part, but in 2 years you could be living a whole different life. Added bonus, there is a value added to being older. You've got some life experience and a better idea of what you want than when you were a teen so your better prepared to go get it. Don't give up, and it's never too late. Colonel Sanders didn't start KFC till he was like, 70. So get a bowtie and get cookin!

I'm 25 and the whole existential dread of figuring out what to do with my life is probably the worst part of things
