Mid-life crisis?

I'm only 17 years old and it feels like I'm having a mid-life crisis. I feel like shit that I wasted my youth because I'm gonna graduate at the end of this year. All I have to look forward to is no more sports, less skiing, a job, and studying my ass off in college.

I mean I actually did do stuff, I was a sponsored Paintballer, played city league soccer, got pretty good grades, and plan to join my school's track team in spring. But it feels like I've wasted so much time, and the good years are coming to an end. I don't even know how I'm gonna pay for college, can I get a scholarship anywhere with a 3.7gpa a 27act? Well, I guess I'll just make my last year in high school as fun as I can!
Does anyone know what I mean?

Dude I hate to break it to you but you're 17, so am I. Its a mood swing, dont worry about it. You're simply at the end of highschool and you dont know what you're looking for from the next step in your life yet. Im not speaking from experience but beilieve me, as soon as you go to college or University a whole new stage of you're life is gonna reveal itself, youll have new freinds a new home, party youre ass off, and yeah you'll study, but thats life, and besides its just that much more indipendant. Cheer up dude, just let the old habits die and start looking forward to what becoming an adult has to offer.

if you CANT get a scholorship from a 3.7 gpa and a 27 on the act, thats retarted. i got one with a 3.5 gpa and a 26 on the act.

not to mention, check around at the collge you go to, sometimes theres scholorships you get just from graduating from your highschool (they will set money aside, and have a scholorship for it, not much but anything helps). also, theres financial aid and stuff like that. but seriously, consider going to a small community college or something and getting your gen eds done. its a ton less money then going to a big university.
