I'm currently attending University, and it's going fine, but I honestly feel lost and confused alot of the time. I feel like I'm going through the motions but I don't really care about education. I'm fortunate enough that I'm relatively intelligent and can get away with doing the minimum and still get decent grades, but how long will I be able to keep it up before I actually need to put forth effort? I just don't feel very enthused about what I'm doing or plan on doing. I don't want to end up in a job I hate or not having a job at all after graduation. I just feel pretty uncertain about a whole lot of things. Is it normal? I'm 22 by the way.

    I'm 32 and I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. Hope you find an answer.

    A friend told me this and it helped me so maybe it'll help you.

    Take a pen, a piece of paper and in 4 sentences write down where you see the 30 year old version of yourself. I did it and having to look at that piece of paper has helped keep my goals in sight and also give me hope.

    "What if I have nothing to write?"

    Then look inward and find what you're passionate about.

    go look out into the world my friend, does a tree ask why is he here? does the bird ask why he is here? get in touch with your roots and who you are and where you want to be. where you should be. who you should be. it's all up to you.

    I feel the same way I started college fresh out of high-school my grades are pretty good, but they weren't all that great during high school. I'm pretty proud of myself for that. Some stuff just comes naturally to me and I don't have to put forth much effort. But once I graduate I don't know what I want from there. I just keep imaging myself walking around with a degree in a endless circle with a lost expression on my face lol............ Go figure :-?

      I think a lot of people in our generation are pretty screwed. It's a massively bleak way of looking at it, but it is what it is. Who knows when the economy will bounce back, and who knows if there will be jobs when we graduate.
