No idea what to do.

I'm an 19 year old female and have NO idea what I want in my life. I have gone to 2 different colleges/university and keep changing my mind. Now I'm feeling really stuck and i'm tired of wasting money on trying new things. I feel so helpless right now. It seems like everyone around me has it all planned out. Sometimes I don't even wanna get out of bed cause I'm so sick of not working towards a long term career/goal. What should I do!!

    Very normal. Don't worry as long as you have ambition (sounds like you do) then you'll be alright. Look around the internet for interesting careers.

    Hello people, wow renamon .... You really are an arse? Lots of people feel lost at times regardless of their age! You are lucky enough to still only be 19, and to be asking the questions you are means you have ambition, you just have not found the right answers yet, not everybody has their future so clearly mapped .... And even those that do can be thrown off course from time to time, life is short and can be cruel when you least expect it, so if i were you i would smile that you are intelligent enough to ask the questions and have the concerns that you do have, because wanting something and striving for a happy , content and Fullfilled life means that you actually care where your going and what is going to become of you, keep looking, no one can answer your question but you, but all you have to remember is life for living, so don't spend too much time worrying, and live it instead, enjoy today, enjoy tomorrow, and one way or another sooner or later you will find what ever it is that makes you tick, you will find it, just don't look too hard,

    All the best

    Christ. You're 19, nobody knows what they want out of life at that age, and if they think they do, 90 % of the time they're wrong. I'm almost 27 and I still haven't got a clue.

    If it's really that important to you I suggest you simply talk to some people that are enrolled in programs you're interested in, gather as much info as you possible can and sit down with your friends or family and discuss it.

    And try to have some patience when trying something new, even though things might not be exactly the way you had anticipated it to be, most of the time the positives far outweighs the negatives.

    Just be a good mother and housewife when you get married, all this talk about ambition is overblown.

    Well, that is unfortunate. If I were you I'd end it all . . . with a slap to the face! Wake up dear! Instead of feeling pity for yourself look deep within that mind of yours, that young and malleable mind, and discover who it is that controls it and what it desires. Only you can do that. If not then go back to feeling sorry for yourself.
