I've lately felt as if I'd be quite content to fall short of my goals and accept a work>pub>sleep lifestyle.
I always assumed I wouldn't succumb to the moron hoardes of working classes, but then again everyone always thinks they're different or special, truth is none of us are. Except those with odd coloured hair.
I feel that after 14 years of being pumped full of education I've had enough. That perhaps university isn't such a cool goal, that maybe I should get a brainless job that makes enough money for me to survive on and concentrate on being happy in other areas of my life.
I think perhaps I'm begining to realise that I've been stupid to take everything so seriously up until this point and that life isn't about building yourself up to be someone you want to be, it's about what you do on the way. I might up an investment banker or a meth-head hobo, but as long as the ride has been a fun one then it doesn't matter.
I dont know if this is one of those epiphany things, that changes my life forever and makes me a better person, or whether too many late nights and early mornings is leading me to talk crap.
Giving up right now would be sweet, if I had any idea what I'd pursue.

I'm currently bored half to death with my life.
I try really hard to change it (that's probably a complete lie), but it stays exactly the same. Ironically my job is the only thing that keeps it fresh - I get to meet new people every day - many of them young barmaids. The rest sucks - every weekend is just a drinkfest followed by a full day of regret, and my week nights are wasted sat here or slumped in front of the telly/xbox.
I could do with someone to slap some sense into me.

Stay away from postmodernism at uni.
Trust me, it's a highly annoying concept to anyone trying to be creative.

Yep, feeling a bit like that too.
It's because this last bit of A-Levels sucks major ass. It seems extremely pointless.
But ... you'll be at uni soon. That's a change enough for me - something to look forward too.

You could just jack-in the whole education package, I've been tempted many a time, but then you'd miss the great roller-coaster ride of Uni, alcohol drenched sex, drugs, meeting people, house part-aaays.
And, if you gave up now you'd be wasting the 14 years you spent on education. Girls (or gays - if that's the way you swing) like a guy with money and becoming a 'meth-hed hobo' ain't really gonna impress 'em
So, chin-up sonny boy. You're not ready to join the Great unwashed just yet

It's just like plummeting you into like-it-or-not adulthood where you're expected to act 'mature' which is something I want to flout a lot of the time. I guess I'm adjusting the way everyone does, just feels lame seeing your life pass by infront of your eyes.

I had the same conversation with my mates. But then I got to 20 in December, and it's not really that different. Of course, I didn't realise this at the time and didn't take it very well, but I got used to it. It's just an age, after all. Pretty meaningless.

Thanks for all the responses, helps to know it's a generic feeling, akin to a midlife crisis or the menopause.
Was my first day back at sixth form today. 6 weeks left until we break up, take our A-levels and become adults.
I was in the pub last night talking to my mate about how we're 20 in two years time and how we didn't feel it. I guess you never listen at the time, but your childhood is the best time of your life.
Until you become sexually active.

And do the decorating. And gardening.
For the record, I don't think that the two choices are that; I don't agree with the assumption that it's not possible to be an individual whilst also going down the wife/kids/job route.
Mind you, I would.

I sort of went through what you're going through.
And you're right except that University life is a lot easier and a lot more fun than full time work. Forget that you're qualifying for some "career" and just take in the knowledge (of a course you'd enjoy rather than one with "opportunities"... I think we've been over this one before) just because you're interested.
And then when your degree finishes you'll need to get a job, so just fall into something that you think'll suit you, and you might get into it or you might move on.
Oh, and it sounds like looking into a few things Buddha said might interest you a little too. ;-)
