what if i never figure out what really makes me happy? i don't have a passion for any of this stuff i just wanna roll over and die.

i feel like i've wasted the past 2 years of my life and i'm scared of wasting any more years ergh does anyone else relate

cant i just quit studying all together and get married to some hunk and become a housewife

I know this AWFUL feeling. Two months after I started university I realised the course and career is most likely not for me and have seriously considered dropping out like hundreds of times. I'm now in my final year and hoping to finish with a degree classification that would allow me to do postgraduates in an area I'm ACTUALLY interested in. I've always felt like I wasted two years of my life but in hindsight I don't think so. The past two years allowed me to actually consider all the possibilities in terms of field/career, etc and besides, I'll (hopefully) get out with a degree that would enable me to find work somewhere to raise enough money to self-fund my postgraduates.

I think these scenarios are actually far more common than many think. I mean how old one was when he/she decided on what they want to do? Too fucking young is the right answer. Add to that pressure from parents/peers/teachers and you get a formula for a disaster.

I'd say do not worry too much about it and even if you take 2-3 years off to figure out what you want to do, then do so. They won't be wasted. You're putting TOO MUCH PRESSURE on yourself right now. Relax and don't look at it like it's a race. Perhaps you could undertake several volunteering opportunities in fields or areas you think you might enjoy and if it turns out you actually don't, then move on to the next. That's what I did and I now have a better idea of where I'd like to work in the future.

Not to mention nothing interests me

Every time I was asked "what do you want to do in the future?" my answer was NEVER consistent. The reason I chose my current course was "I'll study this so I can work for Pixar and win an Oscar."

That's what I think too. Apparently JHF has a whole host of multiple accounts. I heard he was even behind that Rimon person (the one obsessed with Margaret Court) All very odd.

Also, I just typed out a big long post to contribute to the "wtf do i do with my life" discussion, but it was depressing me so much that I deleted it all

I dont know...
anyway, he bores me to death with every thread "who is bigger" "rank all these players" "who had better career" all the time.

what were you excelling the most at ? if you don't know what might interest you, then you should go in a field in which you had great grades and where you feel confident and sure of yourself. A sickinengly shy dude is not gonna be a teacher for instance. Someone who had uber bad grades in sports is not gonna be a sports teacher or a coach fitness or something.

I still think I'm trying to figure out what interests me I think science is the right path for me in terms of study because I am able to get pretty decent grades in it, then I guess I just really have to start thinking about where it leads me after that in terms of occupation. There really are so many options nowadays (both in terms of degrees and occupations) and I think that's one of the problems

Hope that all goes well with chosing your master degree

I do Commerce at Curtin.

Fair enough

I do Biomedical Science at UWA.

Seriously, what the shit am I doing with my life?

I'm starting to wish I fucked up high school just so I could've done something I enjoyed rather than what my parents thought was "best for me"

and yes! That's another scary part, like what if u change ur mind again. we can't do this to ourselves forever.

i just finished 2nd year of pharmacy. what about you? and what do u plan on doing now?

can't we go back to cavemen days when life was all about sleeping and eating?

I know right? I'm so jealous of my friends who are enjoying their degrees and close to finishing Especially seeing as some of them I got way better grades than at school School is built up to be such a big deal, but once you've finished and are at uni, what you did at school is pretty irrelevant.

I'm exactly like you also in that I initially chose what my parents wanted me to do. I did Engineering for one year in 2011 and HATED it so much omg I think it's just important that we make our own decisions, rather than what our parents want us to do. That's the advice I'd give to anyone leaving high school.

I was actually thinking of switching to...pharmacy I'm doing biomedical science so it's a lot of similar units, at least at my uni (UWA) so it's easy to transfer. If I switch I have way more choice of what units I can do, so I think it's better. At least semester doesn't go back for another three months so I have some time to decide.

Hope it all works out for you!

I just find it cool how a lot of us here go through the same problems...many of us are/were closet gays who can't tell our parents and/or have trouble deciding our futures after highschool. All of us seem to be a similar age too. At least we have each other

Yay! While we are on the topic: I graduated from high school. Then had to choose between two different degrees in different cities. Went with the one where my BFF was gonna be. She moved to Spain after a year and I dropped out in the first semester of the second year. Now I am abroad studying a freaking law degree not into my native language; it is fucking hard and I hate it! Basically, I am fucked but no chance in hell of me dropping out. Oh, and I am already 21 so when I graduate I will be like a full-grown granny.
So yeah, you are not alone in your suffering, you poor confused kiddos!
