People graduate from Bachelor's wayy older than you. I was meant to go to uni when I was 18 then had a medical emergency, then a combo of surgeries and incarceration stopped me from going for several years after that, and I'm currently just working but may try to go to uni once I have more money. There are plenty of students who start an undergrad degree when they're your age or older. People who start when they are 18 have various personal emergencies that mean they have to delay their education. You will be entirely fine.
Right as rain.
