| This might be a bit of a long one but thank you to those that do read it. I'm 20 and in my 3rd year on University, doing a degree that I don't really have a passion for. I mean, I get decent grades and I enjoy certain parts of it (but only compared to how much I dislike other parts). I choose my degree because I wanted to come to uni, the career path does not excite me at all. Anyway, I graduate next year and I really don't know where I'm going with my life. I fear waking up one day when I'm 50 and I've been stuck in the same dead end job for 30 years. Now I've told people this and they have come back with ''you are in control of your life, go and do what you want... chase your dream'' and this made me realise a new problem. I have no dream. If you asked most people what they wanted from life they might say they want a family, they want to make lots of money, the want to make a difference in peoples lives, they want to go travelling etc. but I honestly couldn't tell you anything I'd want to do even if money and time were no object. My whole life I have never had a profession in mind, I never had any real dreams or aspirations and it's only now I have realised! Nothing grabs me - I get bored of hobbies really quickly - and nothing excites me enough to make me say ''yeah, I really want to do that, no matter what'' and that terrifies me. This has only recently started to bother me, I have a good social life and a great family but I just feel like there is something missing and I'll never figure out what it is. I feel like I'm floating through life but I don't want to just come up with some generic ideas like 'going travelling' as it doesn't appeal to me and I'll feel I'm just living someone elses life to try and find whatever the hell it is I'm looking for. I know you get 40 year olds that might say ''I still don't know what I want to do with my life''... but then you look to their lives and they have done so much. They might not have a clear end goal but they have done things in their lives that they wanted to do (and because they loved doing them). How do I find what I'm looking for? | |||

I don't know what to do with my life (and never have!)
