Losing my mind
I used to energetically enjoy academic pursuits such as writing poetry, writing essays about subjects that interested me, reading literature and philosophy, and participating in philosophical discussions in and outside of the class room. I was not the most well-adjusted college student. I had only a few friends, but at least I cared about what I was studying.
Now, I am a junior at college and I just feel bored to death... I really feel like Estragon from the Beckett play "Waiting for Godot." I'm not excited about anything in my life and I just look for ways to "pass the time."
I don't think this is a good thing. I enjoyed the idea that I was learning and developing my own world view. It's been this way for at least two months now, perhaps consequential to finding out my parent has a terminal illness. My question is...
What should I do to get un-depressed and interested again?

My answer would be go out try something new and absolutely spontaneous! If you like it then keep it up if you dont then try something else. Try keeping away from the old boring things you used to do. Hang out with new people and wonder about things you think that is "just not you".

I think finding that a parent has a terminal illness would bring even the most devoted of students to a grinding halt.
I think what you are experiencing is probably a very normal reaction to a difficult situation.
I don't think it would hurt for you to seek some professional audience on this. I have someone in mind for starters. Send one to the inbox of this adviser. I think he has more knowledge on the subject than most of us here, so drop a note in his inbox if he doesn't come across your question.
