I Am Sad

I can't believe I am about to make the biggest decision of my life.
On few occasion I told my parents I want to quit college. I am just done with my second year. I been going through some kind of " mid life crisis" since 18. Which is you know questioning about life and what is the meaning of life. I think whats the point of doing anything when you are just gonna die one day and not to mention yeah finding a job, something we can't escape. I feel trapped and been depressed for a very long time.
I can study if I wan but I have long since lost interest. I been afraid to tell my parents but now the cat is out of the bag. Surprisingly , my parents are ok with it. Dad says its ok if I wanna quit and its ok if I don't want to get a job. And even if I wanna go overseas just do the paperwork and he will sign anything.
I didn't expect it to be this easy. I told them lemme think about it. Many times I asked myself what do I want in life? What would I do if I have a lot of money? The answer is money dont matter a whole lot to me. I think there is more to life than stuck at where I am , study , married, get a job etc.
I can't complain really. I have a decent life. Roof over my head, internet connection, food bla bla. I guess I just want to experience something different, go somewhere alone. I been living in such a sheltered life that I crave for something more than this. And whats so wrong dropping out of college?
I been given a choice and I hope I dont regret it
I wish you all the best if you are not sure why not take a year off to find yourself, maybe travel (if its a possibility) you might find what you're really passionate about. Personally I would say rather put off college than give up on it totally I know you said that money is not really that important to you but you don't to wake up one day with the regret of not educating yourself when you had the opportunity to.

You can always go back to colege but you cant get your time back. Go out and get some experience and enjoy yourself.

Nobody lies on their deathbed wishing they spent more time at work.

I can very clearly see something in this text that is missing. Meaning. You still have not figured out what the meaning of life is, and now you hope that giving up on work and school will solve it for you because it will let you "experience new things"... There's something missing that you're trying to find, and I am certain that the only answer is within the biblical scriptures.

@Minyue: That is just not true, perhaps that's what you believe, but God is the only answer. You can go around your whole life searching for that thing you can fill the void with, but you won't find it anywhere else. I'm sorry.
