I Have No Idea What I Want to Do With My Life

No Clue...... I never have known what I've wanted to do with my life. I am going to be 21 and have spend most of my young life depressed and terrified. Familiar story, of course. I've seen people who lack direction in life have common mental illnesses or feelings. I have anxiety, ultimately hate homework and have flunked college, and I don't know where to go. I have a dead end job as a lunch lady in a high school, but I cannot do this forever. I have an interest in writing and music. To be honest that's all I really know anything about. I am blonde, and cannot multi task. I feel dumb at times and this is not helping motivate me at all. Honestly I'm suprised I got this job. I have come a long way from where I was my second senior year in high school, but now it feels like I'm not going to go any farther, I'm stuck on paus. People keep telling me what I should do, and how I need to live my life, but I'm scared. Scared of what? Who knows, but without a little nudge to give me a hint of what I should do with my life, I just think I'll be at the same place in 10 years as I am now.

If you have an interest in writing and music then what are you doing to follow that? Maybe you should try some things with those interests and see where they go. You need to determine what those interests really are and then see what you can do with it. Sounds like you are down on yourself and you shouldn't be. Hard to know what you want when you grow up. Some people don't know until their 30's or 40's. My favorite story is about one of my friends grandfather. He worked for Bell telephone for decades. He retired from there when he was 55 and went to law school and passed the bar exam. He practiced law for 23 years before he died and told me he was more happy doing that then anything else in his life. Things will come together for you. Don't get down on yourself.

Sarah, don't feel bad that you don't know what you want to do with your life. I'm 30, and barely started school for sleep medicine. Took me about 10 years to figure out what I wanted to do. You're a writer? What kind of things do you write? Have you thought about trying to publish anything? Oh yeah, and if you get blond jokes told to you, I'll be happy to share the smartest and most hilarious smart blonde joke I know so you'll have a good comeback!

I can relate to your story very well. No direction and unsure of what to do. It's sucky, isn't it?
