Rant on life

you know that one nagging feeling in the back of your mind that is always there - the one where you just seem to be waiting for something but you dont know what?

im sitting here soo unmotivated to do anything. my ski seasons over so i have nothing on flat land that i am remotely interested in working on or progressing at this point in time. i have my school work, but i just dont care enough; i made it to three of my classes this week. (which is bad im not trying to make that a habit). i havnt been to the gym in like 2 weeks and i get bombed off my ass every weekend and its the same old story over and over. this is not me. i hate this scheduled life that's planned out in which everyday is the same. i have my good friends, but they're stuck in the same motions i am and i think they're realizing it too. i need spontaneity. i am 20 years old and this life is going damn fast. i am technically done with 1/4 of it.. what the fuck?! soon i wont have the youth i do now and i wanna live life to full capacity. now.

in two years im packing my bags and throwing my shit into a car, and heading out west to see what i can see and hopefully make it somewhere with what i learned here. that's all i can think about. the moment i can get out.

but that's two years! i need a hobby or at least a car or some drastic change that i cannot think of at the moment.

this is prob dumb but i just cant seem to say things verbally and get the same point across and the same amount off my chest as when i write them down. so why not tell a bunch of kids i dont know on some forum? maybe you have some ideas or are stuck in this twenty-something rut too.

Take it from a complete academic failure.

GO TO FUCKING SCHOOL


that unmotivated bullshit doesn't cut it. Make school youre full time job or you'll wake up in a few years and realize youve missed out on the best opportunity to succeed in life.

its all a matter of progression
in pre school you wish you were still at home
in kindergarten you wish you were back in preschool
in elementary you would kill to be back in kindergarten
in HS you pray to be back in elementary
in college/university you miss HS really bad
and when you get a job you wish you were a student again*
*unless you become a pro athlete or something then its dope but what are the chances of that happening

.yeah, honestly you're not the only one. I just got suspended from school in the states and was sent home here in chile, so im sitting on my ass with really NOTHING to do. I am going through all this shit too, thinking that my life is slipping away although im just 21, its ridiculuosl I know.I also gotta suck it for two more years and then hopefuly do something worthwhile, replenishing and fun.

for now, just keep yourself busy to avoid thinking too much about it, so start going to classes again.

I guess my idea of a successful life really doesn't follow what a lot of people think. I honestly haven't put much thought towards a well paying desk job, a nice low monthly mortgage payment, a family, yaddaa yaddaaa yaddaa.

The way I see it is there's millions of other people who have already done that before. I'm not saying they were unhappy with their choice, hell that may be what they wanted but I really don't want to follow that trend at all.

I will deem my life successful when I know i've seen as much of the world as I possibly could have in my life.

Pick up running.

Or do something crazy to throw yourself out of your loop. Like go live out in the woods for a week by yourself.

Or you could just sell drugs, its super exciting, and you make lots of money to spend on cool stuff.

Take up skateboarding, or find a really cool person to hang out with that you never would have before. Like, some random people sitting around. Go introduce yourself. You never know what or where new people can take you.

Or book a flight to australia. I booked one today because i figured life at home would be too boring

find something you have a passion for and dive in. all of the curiosities you have about meeting people or travel, or whatever, now is the time to explore them. time really does accelerate, and believe it or not, 30 is not that far off. im 34 with a mortgage and bunch of other 'adult' responsibilities, but 20 was only a blink of an eye ago. it goes quick, take advantage.

i think that way a lot too but i think being in school is a good thing. all the work gives me something to work toward and when i do well in my classes, it's a nice reward because i know i can accomplish something if i direct my efforts toward that. and you don't want to be out of school. if you think your life is lacking right now, it would become a lot worse without college. you would have a good chance of getting stuck in that rut forever. i mean what's your major? maybe you are not doing something you truly love and only study it b/c you are so preoccupied with making money straight out of school. i say fuck that, i could never do that b/c i would hate myself for it and never be happy.

Go out and do something new and exciting or learn something new.  I get stuck in the repition of life and start to get depressed about the world every so often, but my way out is doing something way out of the ordinary.  For example I just went on a 10 day camping trip in the everglades and now I'm learning how to forage wild edibles..... its really random shit but it makes life more interesting.  If you've always wanted to learn something or know how to do something... here's your chance.

life is what you make it. if you arent happy then change something about it. theres ups and downs and it cant all be fun and games. stick with school because so many people i know regret not getting their degrees. im graduating in may with a degree in nursing and i never thought id be going in the direction i am. after that im going into the army to be an army nurse... free ride around the world, top of line training and great benefits. not what i expected but i was tired of the same shit every day so i made a change. patience and oportunity will come if you work for it

well this thread is fucking depressing.

you aren't going thru anything that everybody else doesn't go thru. that's life. suck it up. you can sit around and feel sorry for yourself, or you can go out there and do something about it. life is a product of all of the decisions you make.

i'm not trying to be a dick or anything. actually quite contrary. i wish i would have learned that at about 13. it would have made things a whole lot easier.

thanks everyone for your replies, its actually helped in getting out of bed and starting fresh. i just needed a little kick in the ass.

and to those who think im some little emo fuck that cant do anything for herself, my bad - that is not the case. i was just having a moment where i needed to get this shit off my chest before i moved on. yes, there is life out of skiing don't get me wrong for those of you who thought i implied that, but skiing was part of what kept me out of that constant loop thats all. now im stuck somewhere in between winter and summer with nothing to do but go to class, do work, go to bed, rinse, repeat - you know how it is.

but enough about that, just wanted to say thanks. im shutting my computer and cellphone off for the weekend and getting shit done. haha

Yeah im in the exact same boat right now, im 20 and just trying to get through these last two years of college. Don't get me wrong, i love life, i love the college lifestyle, but im so tired of class and the education system in general. Im tired of my life only being a preparation for the future, i want to do something now. My plan is to get my degree and just enjoy a period of bumming, hopefully move to BC or somewhere new and exciting, spend a summer in new zealand or argentina, travel a bit and ski around the world if i can somehow devise a plan to afford it. God i can't wait to be a bum.

I went through the same thing so i started skateboarding and it has helped alot, it releives alot of stress. Id say if you can try skateboarding/longboarding or wakeboarding it helps to get out and try new things plus it helps your balance alot for skiing and you get a good work out so its like killing 3 birds with 1 stone!

It is going to be okay. I am glad that you realize that there is an issue. I think your problem is that you are surrounded by people with the same lifestyle and they have influenced you for far too long. From what you have said, it seems like you really want to change. You just need to make that effort. When you say, "I hate this scheduled life that's planned out in which everyday is the same," I think you need to realize that it is not planned out for you nor is it a schedule. You make it that way. You have the power to do whatever you want to do in life. Take every opportunity you can and start to make a change in your life. I think going out west might be a great idea for you. I just hope you are not doing it for the wrong reasons such as trying to escape your habits. Because no matter where you are, they will follow you unless you open up to more ideas. Go out and get a job, get involved with community service (I know that might not sound thrilling but I do it all the time because I find community service that really interests me such as teaching disabled kids how to ride horses), make new friends, try not to spend as much time worrying and getting down on yourself. It only drags you in deeper. I have self esteem issues and sometimes I get really bogged down with it all. Just hold your chin up high and keep at it. Life throws all sorts of challenges at us and we need to learn how to make the best of what we have and feed off of yearning for something better. Just remember, it is your life and you have the power to do anything as long as you believe. I know this all might sound pretty corny but hopefully I helped. If you need to talk to somebody, you can private message me. Stay strong girly.
