Reigniting my passion and potential in life?
Yes it's utterly melodramatic, but I feel like I've lost my passion for life.
Back in High School I was a really bright kid and I loved anything creative. I had this weird passion in life and in pushing my potential as far as it would go. I think it was somewhat because people looked at me differently; I was a quiet, awkward teenager with a low self-esteem from a socio-economically disadvantaged family, and with divorced parents. Most people thought I was going to end up as a deadbeat drop out (and in the area I live in, it wasn't difficult to imagine).
I excelled in my classes and got into Uni. I've been in Uni for a year and a half now, and I'm just so unfulfilled and disappointed. It all started in my first semester. I had high hopes for myself, and ended up barely passing my units. I was going through some pretty tough times at home too, which didn't help the situation. For the rest of the year I just felt so stupid and worthless. Somehow though, I managed to go from barely passing to distinctions (75+). I've almost finished my first half of my second year and my marks are still increasing, but ever since that first semester I haven't felt that passion that I had in High School.
I wanted to go places, both career wise and physically. I had major wanderlust and confidence in the possibility of what I could achieve, but now it's gone. I still want to travel and succeed, but I just feel like I'm just not good enough anymore...
How do I get myself excited again about the world? I want to feel the way I did two years ago, just that drive and want that I used to revel in. If anyone has felt this way, it would be really great if you could give me some advice.

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
you've went from the jubliant, happy, optimistic, over-eager environment of highschool... to the serious and strict world of college. It's normal. You graduated high school, and you thought that was going to be it. But then you started college again and realised, "wow, more school? Really?" I toally get it. But you must know something.
High school is actually worthless. Work in highschool means nothing, you are all doing it for COLLEGE. College work is where it really matters, therefore you should give college your all, because it is the most important thing in life.
From what i hear you are only 19-20 years old. You are young! Take advantage of it and hang with people and keep pushing further. You have endless opportunities and millions of chances to do things. You are young, enjoy it while it lasts, instead of feeling so sorry for yourself.
