I just feel that in the grand scheme of things that I'm not really accomplishing anything. I've overcome the foolishness of my youth, but I am still financially paying for it. I make baby steps towards improving my situation (which really isn't "bad"), but I don't really have all that much to look back on. I'm 35, single, never married, no kids. Not sure if I want kids.

I'm 21. I still live at home with my parents. I'm in my 4th year of college with 2 more yet to come. I have a chronic inflammation disease, and moderate social anxiety. Oh and I can't poop anywhere but home. :eek:

Ugh, where to begin:

I'm a college graduate with a worthless degree and no decent job prospects. I would consider going back to school to get my master's or law degree, but that would require that I actually motivate myself to study for and take the GRE or LSAT. Even if I could do that, I would have to move somewhere (again) where I don't know anybody and start all over. That used to be easy for me, but now I find it almost terrifying. I also have no idea how I would afford to go back to school.

So I'm living back at home in a town that I loathed for the 14 years that I lived here before going off the college. There are very few people here that are my age, because everyone else is smart enough to go somewhere else after they graduate.

I have no girlfriend, and no real prospects for one. It is impossible to find anyone around here that you can even have a decent conversation with, because very few people read books or even the newspaper.

Edit: Oh, and the real cause of all of this is that I'm spineless. I don't have the guts to take any chances, and for some reason I can't change that about myself.

There are plenty of other things, but why even bother. :p

I feel like I'm 2-3 years ahead of where I really am. What I mean by that is I feel that I should be done with college, living on my own (in an apartment), working full-time, and in a long-term relationship.

Rather, I've got 2 years of college left, I'm living at home for the summer (and in the dorms during school), working part-time (unpaid), and I just got out of a short-term relationship.

But, I'm only 20 years old. I'm making steady progress toward finishing college, I'm working for the PD that I want to work full-time for when I graduate, and I've got some prospects for a relationship, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much.

Oh, and I'm lazy now that summer is here and I need to lose these love handles. :p

I'm 21 years old, BioE major , 3rd year in college. I guess I'm still at that point in deciding what to do with the rest of my life, be it gradschool, or getting a co-op at J&J. Socially, I find myself working in lab waay too often, and that has really been taking away from what little time I had to spend with friends =\

i guess life really ain't too bad...

I too wonder about the purpose of life, and wonder if it isn't just a pointless cycle. Is the guy on Wall St. really happier making 120k a year and busting his ass, or is the music store manager having the time of his life? I don't know what being happy is anymore; I just know how to be "amused" at life and laugh a little. I used to laugh constantly and always be happy, but pretty much I can't be happy anymore. I'm not sure why, but it has a lot to do with being bitter, jaded, and pessimistic. I'm sure that kind of outlook is taking years off my life as well and I feel helpless about it. I've got a girlfriend, nice things, and a supportive family, but I've realized that even that isn't going to make me be happy. Obviously there is something deep I've got to find. That's the only things I'm willing to say in this thread. People who know me know more. ;)

Oh, I do have to say that I'm quite content with life right now, but just not happy.

I'm really smart, I have a lot of good ideas.

I am a lazy son of a bit. I'm moody, I lack self confidence sometimes because i'm always socialy detained (hopefully college and a car will solve this). Everyone likes hangin out with me, but they forget I exist...so i end up not hanging out until I appear on their radar. I'm really lazy. I'm actually not writing a speach I should be writing right now and posting on this topic.

I don't even have a fricken job.

Stupid water park I was going to work at over the summer went out of business.
So no pay checks until I go back to being the cafeteria slave at school.

I'll be a Junior next semester studying computer engineering.

I'm also a 20 year old virgin sitting here at 2am on a Saturday night.

Hey, that's me! What can you do to overcome that? I'm thinking it may be having kids. I'll be 30 in a few months, and I feel my life has been stagnant for the past 5 years. Because nothing ever changes. Go to bed, wake up, go to work. Repeat. 5 years goes by, and you're no different. I think with kids, at least, you can measure time by the phases of their childhood.

I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next. By that, I mean bowel movements.
