I Am Not Where I Wanted to Be At This Age i'm 22 and I'm no where near where I wanted to be at...

I feel very similar. I still think I know what I want to do after university (work in a publishing company) but I've always said I want to be a writer too and I haven't written anything creative in like a year. I think it's important to always re-evaluate what you want to do in life career-wise. Think about what you're passionate about, and try to figure out where you could work and what you could do based on those passions. It's easy to just say that you're wasting your life procrastinating and you're a loser, but it's not good to think that way. Money can obviously be an issue, and sometimes it's hard to get a job doing what you love (like getting paid for writing) so you might need to get a job that you're not passionate about until you can afford to do what you're passionate about, but it's also good to see what you can do with your passion. And even if you always thought you were going to be a writer, it doesn't mean you have to be a writer if you're no longer passionate about it.

Same here my friend, not where I want to be either. And to think your life and dreams are "long gone" at 22 is extremely irrational thinking clouded by some lens of negativity which you're viewing life through. 22 man, you're a baby, life has just begun. Your post screams depression in every sentence. Why exactly has your life become a waste? Sounds like you're getting mind fucked by your own thoughts. Read over your post objectively, step back, and you'll see your reasoning is skewed and all I see is a bunch of negative conclusions you've jumped to. Get yourself checked out if you haven't already. There may be no switch, but there is a way out. 22 years of life out of which the first 10 are just childhood where no one is expecting anything spectacular out of you. Less than a decade of disappointing experiences in no way condemns you to a life of failure. You're limited by the mental prison you've locked yourself in. Future hasnt

I was at a similar stage around 21 in my life, although I didn't have the college behind me. I know it will seem like a huge transition from being a thinker to go from writing and studying into this type of field, but if you want a solid cure for procrastination join the military. It will give you most any kind of career real world training you want, looks good on paper for later, teaches limitless skill sets, and if you go for officer since you have the degree behind you, pay is not terrible, and you'll even get a little respect just for your rank. A little, you've still got to prove yourself. It also takes care of a lot of tuition fees you may have accumulated in a short amount of time and provides near limitless networking assets. Yes, it is a huge change, yes I'd do it all over again.

Young man I'm going to give you the opportunity to do what you want when you want, & all you have to do is share it with those you go to uni with & people you care about. That's it & you get to do what you want. Now the ball is in your court.

Lots if youngsters take off for a year after college.
They go to Europe or South America helping out in charity situations.
That might be one area to look at!
It would give you a whole new perspective on where you are, where you want to be. And give you an insight into how other folk live.

You just have to keep yourself open to things that just sort of present themselves. Often you start out planning to do one thing, and wind up doing something completely different.

I can relate to everything said. And I'm losing hope that my fight for my dreams doesn't really matter.
