I'm 18 and might want to study Design... Where do i start?

I hope these kinds of posts belong here. I want to study something creative next year. Last year i did an internship at an architect's office, so it's either architecture or design. I still don't know where to start though, what can i do to prepare for uni? i know they like to see any previous creative work you do but I've never really designed anything, i like drawing and i have a graphic tablet (which isn't that great), obviously can't afford 50€ a month for Illustrator and Photoshop as of right now, and in general, i don't know where to get ideas and inspiration.... I mean it's a wide spectrum... Logos, advertisements, software/web, even clothing and video editing... I'm a bit lost. Should i read books about designing? While writing this i realize it's probably hard to get what i want to achieve with this post... I guess any help, info, shared experience or even inspiration would be nice. Thanks in advance.

Great design resource
