What shall i do with my life?

Hey everyone! Lately i've been thinking.. What the fuck shall i do with my life!? I am a 20 year old guy from Portugal, have a really good life, amazing girlfriend for 3 years now, super sexy and cute girl, and a really good student, i have really good friends, always there for me when i need them, my parents are the best parents i could wish for, sometimes they're a bit rough with me, but i know its for my own good. We never had financial problems.. I wouldn't say we are rich, but we're certainly not poor. I am a good looking guy, don't want to sound like a jerk . Basically i have a good life... The problem is, i don't know what to do with it! I am in college at the moment, but i am not enjoying it so i am going to drop as out, as my parents are spending a lot of money, and i don't feel like studying at the moment, so i don't want them to waste and i rather get a job as i am about to get one in a big sport store in Portugal. The thing is.. I don't really have problems in my life, i am the kind of guy that will give 20 euros to someone begging in the street, i like to give stuff to people, as i love to see their joy! Me and my girlfriend are pretty much lucky, as we're almost set up for life their parents bought us a house, we're not living there at the moment, as the house needs a few new things, it's a small house, but good for a young couple, and my parents already told us they're going to give us their house in the future (giant house! ). I do sport, currently i've been swimming a lot in my local pool, and been hitting up the gym, i am pretty much healthy..

Sorry for the big introduction, i am pretty sure 90% of you already stopped reading it.. Anyway, my problem is.. I feel the time passing, but i feel that i've been the same since forever, it's almost like i don't change. I don't know what to do with the life i have, i don't know what i should study in college, i can't see myself working in something that i'll study in college.. I know you're thinking "Oh this must be a rich kid having rich kid problems.".. But not really, i am just full of doubts about a lot of things. I am 20.. I think i should be doing more that i am, sometimes i am afraid it's getting too late to go to college (i am 20, who the fuck thinks like me? only crazy people, like me -.-) i am afraid that i'll never be anything... But i also don't have high life standards, i am the kind of guy that would be really happy with his small home, with his decent looking wife, decent salary (nothing big), second hand car.. The thing is, i have way more then my standards! This might look a stupid thread, but i feel lost in time, lost in the world, as my life has no meaning. I don't believe in a God, i believe we're something REALLLLLY small, in a giant reality, i believe there is more after death, way more! I think EVERYONE should be happy in this world, i love to make other people happy, i think i am the kind of guy that doesn't belong in this society, i just wish we could all have a good life without problems... Don't think i am a boring guy xD, i like pretty much what a 20 year old dude likes.. From sex to video games, a lot of musical genres, go out with my friends, pretty much that kind of stuff.

This wasn't really a thread asking for answers, it was something like.. "I need to talk with people that don't know me, so no one will judge my crazy thoughts." xD . If you red this to the end, you survived to a boring thread, sorry if i repeated my self but my English isn't perfect to the point of being able to write the same stuff using different words .

Thank You

 

Sounds tough Free house, hot GF, parents paying for college, inheritance pending...I wish I had your worries.

 

There was this story called the Three Princes of Serendib.

Basically this king To teach his sons how to be better princes, banished them from the palace and sent them out into the world. Basically the three princes went out and forest gumped their way through life, and were always rewarded with great fortune because they were virtuous on their travels, and eventually ran into Sri Lanka.

The Arabic name is Serendib and that's where the word serendipity comes from. It doesn't derive from an accident per se, just something you weren't looking for. That's my advice.

 

no insult intended but it's funny that you think you have a choice!

Culture, especially Family culture, has your mind in a tight grip.

you think you're thinking. but with what? you're thinking with all the stuff Others have crammed in there!

you'll do well to shed even an ounce of it ... but DO try.

not singling you out. we're all in the same boat.

 

I think i didn't understoond the 2 last replys very well... :s i got what you want to say, but not the entire thing..

 

i'll trade ya.

 

So many young people today think life is pleasure, and only meant to be enjoyed all the time.
Well not really. Life is a struggle, you should accomplish something.
I don't know, go to medical school, be a rockstar, learn English properly....

 

you're 20. what you're feeling is probably pretty normal for 20 year olds. you shouldn't have all the answers at age 20. In fact, I don't think anyone has all the answers. I'm sure a lot of people don't know what to do with their lives. I say be grateful for where you are at in life right now b/c sooner or later, shit's gonna get rough for you and you will always look back at your current life right now, wishing you had it as easy as you do now.
Relax. Have fun. Don't be so eager to grow up and to discover all the answers. Seriously.

 

If a person is in a position where he has everything perhaps the state of things just are that he/she doesn't actually have to do or accomplish anything in life except when that person chooses to do so. This is perhaps a reason why so many young people in fortunate situations have trouble finding a purpose (also since they didn't have to fulfill purposes early in life?)

 

I'd like to visit Lisbon and listen to fado. I imagine it's very lovely

 

You are not lost at all, that is the life when you grow up with any thing you are worried about. Many people have been in that situation as yours and myself once I had the same feeling thought similar to your but things changed dramatically after dropping out with no educational certificate though my parents struggled to make me focus and finish my studies. Because the life i had was so smooth for me but when everything turned!! I tell you....!! always what you think is not as it is.

 

damn them first world problems...
