I Am Lost In Life

I don't think college will ever suit me. I have this gut feeling that I am wasting my time and money there. I want to drop out but I don't know if my parents will approve. I am willing to pack up my bags and go out into the world on my own. I believe this path will benefit me more. All my life I have been kept too safe. I believe my parents made my life too easy for any chance to discover who I really am and what lifestyle suits me. All my life I've lived the typical suburban lifestyle and I feel trapped because things are too comfortable here. I am 20yrs old but I feel like most of those years were wasted and they were because I didn't become compatible with my lifestyle....I should've just listened to my parents when they were trying to prepare me for the lifestyle I had planned for me. I should've listened to all their commands from the very start but I didn't. I believe I could've been compatible with my environment had I began earlier but now too much time has past for me to "catch up". I have spent the past 2 days trying to figure out how to use my graphing calculator all so that I can solve 1 question for my math homework. I will tough this one out for 1 last semester but that'll be where my college life started and ended. I'm only 2 weeks in and I feel like I've made a terrible mistake. I believe my original plan would've worked out better than this path.

If you see your education through, you can always go a-wandering after. But this way you'll have something behind you to use if employment demands it.

Most of us get that wanderlust yearning when your age, and older.
