Do you ever feel like this?
Sometimes i just feel stupid. i am 20 years old going to a community college, living with my mom and sister, in a 3 year relationship w/ gf, and working part time (15-25 hours a week) at whole foods.
Well i messed up in highschool, which happens to a lot of ppl i think. But now i'm in community college, been in it for almost 2 years, and i already wasted 1 year of it. Now i am making up for it, so next quarter im taking stats, basic (highschool) chemistry, and general psychology.
Well at my workplace, there a lot of people my age, and i assumed most of them are in my situation as well. Most actually don't even go to school.
Well i met one coworker who is 22, already has a bachelors from UCLA in environmental economics, and is planning to join the peace corps, then get their masters after going to a different country for about 3 years.
and im just shocked, this person has their whole life together, already has a bachelors, and went to ucla. i just feel retarded now. im going to a community college and i already messed up a year?
its pathetic. just venting...you guys ever feel like this? or do you have your life together.

You're only 20. You have an entire future ahead of you. "Better late than never," I guess...
You can also finish community college/get your credits and always transfer to a university.
Nope! I have my life together and I have high, but achievable goals.
Too bad I get absolutely no credit for it though because I don't do sports.
Yay for an absolutely retarded family!
Everyone messes up sigh.. I know I have... And there's gonna be a lot more of that in the future too
Iunno I think comparing yourself with your co-worker isn't a great thing to do.. But if it gets you motivated, yeah, it could be good.
I understand what you're going through. I messed up my first year and since one of them was a year-long course, I basically have to go through it again. I'm the same age as you and feel unworthy to enjoy life.
Stop comparing yourself to everyone else. You are where you are at this point in your life. Keep moving forward and realize each person has their own story.
waitwaitwait
your coworker at whole foods has a bachelors from ucla?
lolwut
okay thanks guys for the supports. i do feel better.
@MirCeyDez: yeah and it's like a feeling of depression but I'm too damn lazy to do anything about it.
yeah I do feel like that from time to time.
it's like everybody has their whole life planned out while I'm just going with the flow.
I have to do a lifeplan for my phil class so maybe that'll help me figure some things out.
Sometimes I feel so dumb because I always tell myself I'm gonna get stuff done but I just waste my life on the internet or sleep.
okay. thanks i guess. i just need to focus more
