Do you ever feel life is pointless?
Caution, this is a rant:
I'm 22 years old in my last semester of college. I just want to be done already. I'm studying Business and International Relations which don't really have an interest in..I guess I did at one time..but not really anymore. I don't really want to do anything and i don't really have a direction in my life. I'm thinking that when I graduate in May, I should move somewhere far far away. I signed a lease with a friend last month. Last week, her boyfriend basically moved in for an unknown period of time. He quit his job and does have some upcoming interviews. So it's not like he's not trying to get another job. Her bf ate some of my stuff..but then went out to the grocery store and got me replacement food. So he is trying to not get on my bad side. He does attempt to clean up after himself even though his stuff is in the common area and bathroom.
I didn't sign up for living with him.
I have to constantly hear them bicker and I basically stay in my room.
I'm fed up with the snow, my living situation and school.

Of course it's pointless. The universe doesn't give a f*ck that you're alive in sucking up air. The "point" your life has is entirely up to you. Therefore, be selfish with your life and enjoy it!
Business and International Relations actually sounds like a cool degree. You could work for a company that deals with vendors and clients overseas... better yet if you speak foreign languages. You can make a LOT of money that way. Or you could work for a non-profit that serves foreign interests, such as the Red Cross, or Peace Corps, or Doctors Without Borders, or KIVA, or any other number of organizations. Or you might work for a cruise line or other touring company and get to travel a lot.
How you feel about lack of life direction is totally normal. I didn't really start finding direction until I was about 27, and only now at 29 am I finally doing something I really enjoy (I own a small business). You may feel kind of lost for a few more years. Thing is, at you're age it's OKAY. The early-mid 20s are THE time to be totally selfish and to figure out your life. If it takes you a little longer, that doesn't mean you're a loser or that you won't someday end up completely happy with your life.
As for the roommates... roommates suck. But I actually wish I had lived with roomies at your age, because I spend WAY too much money due to my insistence of living alone. I could have afforded more of a social life and treated myself to little things more often. But hindsight is 20/20.
Anyway, I totally get that you're frustrated. But it DOES GET BETTER, I promise you. Just don't be afraid to take a risk or two. It might be the worst mistake of your life, or the best thing you've ever done. And even if it's a mistake, at 22 you have MANY years to make up for it. You'll never be so flexible and unencumbered as you are now.
Nope, I have continuously attempted to study from the parties that experience shaped who I am. I have made a few rather dull errors, and it's from those that I have found out probably the most. You are the one character who can halt what you consider as a spiral. I have no idea your age, however I get the impact out of your remark that you're most often a senior in top institution, and you're having a hindrance with the truth that you are going to quickly need to be accountable on your possess survival. If that is so, then, FOCUS to your schooling. If your grades are not up to anything you wish to gloat approximately, sign up for a group tuition, take simplest three categories in step with quarter or semester, and consciousness on the ones categories. If you do good to your comm. coll. categories, you'll qualify for admission to a tuition with a well repute, however will receive not up to the cream of the crop. If you're having quandary determining deciding upon a profession, then take categories in biology, zoology, an anatomy, body structure, pharmacology, inventive writing, sociology, you're going to be required to take a psych. elegance. Art used to be a well elegance for me, it calls for the uninteresting historical past of artwork, while all I desired to do used to be sling paint, but it surely used to be a well option for an optional. I wish this is helping you. Let me recognise. Good good fortune.
I know how you feel. I'm 19 years old don't work, but I'm going to college. I want to go into business, but I don't know where to start. My father has his own business and is looking to retire soon I think it'll be as good time as any to ask him to teach me the business so I can take over. I constantly get put down by my mom and my sisters for not having a job at 19 no license either, but I can drive. They make me feel like **** sometimes. Really hurts when it comes from people you love the most. :'[ I'm smart, and I've been told that repeatedly, but I'm lazy.
Sometimes i do but i try to keep my head up because life isnt like this all the time your going to have good days and bad days sometimes even bad chained days but just try to keep positive and something good will happen out of all of this i mean i have bad days too and i wanna just quit but then i talk to someone and my opinion changes and i see the point in life so just try to take it easy you know?
