Confessions of a Struggling College Student

It is difficult to distinguish myself between adult and child. There are different standards for both, yet college students are somehow expected to encompass all of them? They tell you to figure out what you want to do with your life when you're 21, but they also tell you to live in the present moment and feel young for as long as possible. It's hard, keeping up all these expectations people have of you. If you ask me, you have been chosen as a golden child if you have figured out what you want to do with the rest of your life while still eating mediocre ramen in the library on a Tuesday night. Personally, I have absolutely no f****** idea what I want to do with my life. I'm going to be completely honest here and express the fact that I feel like I have taken up the act of disassociation to delay even thinking about my future self. In all reality, you do not, and I repeat, do not, have to figure out what to do with your life right now. I would say start figuring out how to be a better person and what inspires you.
