I just feel as if my future is going to be bland. I figured if I die at 75, 20% of my life is over. I'm estimating I'll probably spend another two or three percent in school. Almost a qaurter of my life over already, spent on school. What do I do with all the rest? Just go down the road walked billions of times before, get an average paying job, buy a house and spend the rest of the years I can be active just paying off debt? Is that really the life that life I'm doomed to live? Learn skills for work, work, then wait for death?

    Wake up! Nothing about life is bland. If you don't like it, don't buy into the idea that your existance has to be the way you describe it. Get angry and do something about it. Take back your individuality and don't let the system dictate how you live.

      Oh shut up. Face it, life is boring and dull when you get older. You just live so that you can work so that you can live. It's a boring, monotonous circle.

        No, I will not shut up. That was uncalled for. What's your problem? Do you not like my words? Don't drag me into you cycle of doom, or anyone else for that matter. Are you so convinced that life is boring that you see no alternative? Are you even looking?

          I've looked, and there's absolutely no way out of the vicious circle of monotony that is called life. OK, so what are the options that we can choose from in our life? We can travel, but once you've seen one place, you've seen them all. We can have a family, but marriage is nothing but a piece of paper, and kids can be ungrateful little brats. Not what I call enjoyable. We can find a career we like, but there will be many times when we'll be stressed to a breaking point. Life is boring, stressful, and not worth shit. No matter what you choose to do, it's all going to be completely pointless. And yes, I realize the only thing left is suicide. And trust me, I'm looking into it. Once we get older, life fucking SUCKS.

            Circles are beautiful, they bring change. Nothing is constant except for that.

              How do circles bring change? You keep going around and around and around. Personally, I feel sorry for you. I see life for what it is, a sad, depressing existence. I'll be much happier when I can find a proper way to end it all. There is nothing good or fun about life. And I feel sorry for people like you who try in vain to make it enjoyable. Face it. Life is bullshit. There is absolutely NO valid reason for us being here.

    One reason why I dropped out of college.. I had that mindset. It's better to do something with the time you have rather than struggle.
    I'm the kind of person that would rather gain experience when getting a job rather than learn about it then try to figure it out later on when I've forgotten 50% of what I've learned already.. 50% of my tuition would be wasted!

    you are only looking on the dark side. instead if saying 20% is over say i still have 80%! it helps to look at the other side of the coin.

    you never know what the rest of your life will hold, but in the grand scheme of the Universe, you are nothing and whether you do nothing or commit a genocide, it wont really matter. nothing you or i or anyone else does really matters, as horrible as it may sound, some day you will have to face the truth and if you dont then you will have lived a lie your whole life. when you do realize the truth about life, you will either kill yourself or just say fuck it and sit back and watch the world burn.

    That's why we say, "Don't let the b@stards grind you down!"

    I always feel sorry for men who are forced to work right up until retirement date, so as to support their families :o(

    if something is bland, then spice it up. seems to me that you're accepting this recipe you've created in your mind instead of deciding to do something to change it. that's the sad part :-(

        Lol..

        I agree with the questioners outlook on life.

        Cant everyone see that you are being manipulated into falling in line and into the system rather than questioning it and chasing your passion.The educational system in no way helps anyone to id their passion.

          I agree 100%, in fact I think most of it is installed for control, to teach control for society so that we dont have kids who question anything so they in turn grow into adults and dont question anything.

          Nothing I have learned in HS or College have I been able to apply or use to better my life at all. NOTHING. In fact I feel duped for the fact that I actually went to school in the first place. What a giant waste of money. Colleges and Universities are some of the biggest scams society has running, right up there with "traffic tickets".

    Then I suppose your not a salty wench? Kidding. That's an interesting take you have on life. Its like that for pretty much everyone. I think your just dwelling on it way too much. You won't live much of a life if that's how you keep looking at it. Cheer up little buckaroo :) it is what you make it
