Hello everyone. My name here on advicenators is Solcito. It's a nickname my ex-girlfriend gave me that basically means little sun. That's the only personal information I really want to give out. In the short time that I have inhabited this planet I feel that I have experienced enough to make good judgment in most situations. I've fallen in love, had my heart broken, been mugged, made and lost a ton of friends, lived in three continents and become fluent in two different languages. I just feel that it's important to let you know why I think I'm certified to answer your questions. I'm also a guy, so I know how men think. I'm not saying that there aren't a fair share of guys who have questions about girls. I just generally see more females asking about their love lives here than guys. Hope you like my advice, and good luck to everyone with their personal issues.

I felt exactly like you at your age. I had a great life but somehow did not feel very satisfied by it. I wanted it to have more variety and purpose. My solution was to escape to South America for six months. That's a little radical, but I did it in a completely legal way that didn't interfere with my school at all, and I'm extremely pleased I did it. I went from a pre-med, genetics major with plans to drive a Mercedes and marry some blonde bombshell that would probably have regularly cheated on me to a Spanish/Latin American Studies double-major with intentions to expose corruption in South American governments and bring support, safety, and opportunities to people living in poor South American neighborhoods.
This has been basically all about me and the change it has had on my life. Now for you. All you need is a change of scenery. Try doing things you've never done before. Start talking to kids from a different crowd. Learn to play an instrument. Take a new foreign language. That's probably enough to help you find your calling. If that doesn't work, run off to a poor country for a few months. If seeing thousands of people living in broken down shacks and boxes doesn't help you realize how much you have and give you some sort of purpose, you are beyond any help I can give you.
