I feel "stuck" in the same place
20/f
So I'm halfway done with college. And I feel stuck. I feel like this is the time when people start realizing who they are, what they want to do with their lives, and then they have all these changes going on. Well I feel like my life hasn't changed at all since like high school. Everyone I know is getting internships or serious relationships, or even just their attitudes are maturing. And I just feel the same as I've always been.
I'm the kind of person that get's bored with my life so I am always looking for some kind of change. Recently I've been craving a change so I quit my sport that I played in college. i have all this free time now and I'm still indifferent about how i feel about it.
I guess I'm just asking if anybody else has felt this way? What did you do about it? Wait it out and hope to find that change? or go out and do something about it? I just hate this "stuck" feeling....

Some passions in life, we stumble across accidently but if our lives are too predictable and routine without much opportunity to become exposed to something new that you may take a likingAu to or find purpose in, then you have to make those opportunities for exposure.
Not all of us realize who we really are all at once at a young age. FOr many it unfolds and is revealed slowly over our life and yet others never get a clue and go to their death bed that way. I wouldn't worry so much about not comparing to your friends.
Its like being a rat in a maze. Yor're at the entrance, refusing to move and take one of the tunnels cus you don't know which path to take. You see all your friends taking off down a path as if they have their life purpose figured out.
As you know with mazes, only one path leads to the prize or the exit. So most of the friends who looked like they had something going for them come to a dead end, turn around, come back years later and re evaluate. That's life.
You sound like the type who will get too antsy sitting around waiting to find that change fall into your lap. All I can think of right now is to try Meetups.com an online venue for helping people get together. Pretty much each major city should have meetups scheduled, just do a search for your town and see what type of groups are currently in existance. Some may be on topics that you never thought to investigate like natural health options, energy healing for examples. THen others meet to play board games. So the thing to do is expose yourself to subjects you haven't any particular feeling of like or dislike for and investigate it. Tell them why you're at their meeting wanting to get exposed to new things to find new possible passions and you'll have many willing to explain and teach about their passion. Other than that, being in college, it might be hard with studies to find time to explore new stuff. Only you know how much time you really have. Does the college have clubs you can join?
