Hell waking up, playing sc2, and messing on the internet would be great if you could actually support yourself (food is pretty good I hear). But that can be hard. >_>

Maybe become an operator.

Get your shit together is what you should have done at the beginning of this year. Next best is go tto communnity college and try to transfer to university.

I dont know what im doing with my life but so far I have 86% average which is good for a middle of the road college. I still have a year left to pull myself together. Hopefully you can figure something out because we cant be kids forever.

I felt exactly like you, you'll get it through once you leave high school. Force yourself to man-up, get your license, start working out and shit and its all good.

I think you misread, I already got accepted and am going to college this fall.

at least you know and acknowledge your current state. it's not thaat bad. you seem satisfied by your life.

but understand that actively pursuing passions and social gatherings and bettering yourself in all ways be it physical or emotional...will make your life more awesome. and you will be more satisfied by your life. the choice is yours yo.

it's not "wrong" to do nothing about the problems you mentioned. if that's want you want, it's fine.

If your whole life were a day, you would barely be the time of sunrise. For a person that is only 17, don't ever look at yourself as someone who is a product of what you have or have done in the present, but what you can accomplish in the future.

You seem to suggest that you feel like you should do something because of what you see around you, but from another perspective you have concrete standards in life that you have no achieved. I assume you want a car, a girlfriend, and a future. You understand that you don't want to live off of minimum wage, and that's a start. Sometimes people do things just to subsist, but are you willing to just settle?

I think one of the worst parts about life is regretting the past, and a lot of people have to live with the actions they took in their youth for the rest of their lives when they would trade anything to try again. You're at this interesting age where nothing matters, yet everything matters. What you decide to do today and each action you do today will be a hundred times more effective in changing the whole outcome of your life than say in ten more years. Even if you have the option to do whatever you want right now, you also have to realize (and I believe you do realize) that it can't last forever, and sometimes life is for a lack of a better phrase smoothing happiness consumption for rainy future days.

There's a lot of people in the US who can get 4.0s and great test scores and have sick cars and gfs when they're 17, but in all honesty most 17 year olds are about the same. Let me tell you from firsthand experience that just because you're smart and you're in the Ivy League or w/e doesn't mean you know what you want to do with your life, and even if they think they do most of the time they don't. In fact, your bachelors degree doesn't mean shit after a few years in the workforce anyways, and there are plenty of dumbasses in the Ivy League who just waste their lives. If you worked hard, you have a solid shot of being better off in the future than almost anyone you see that is at your age right now, but in 20 years you basically have no shot.

I think the most important thing in your life is to do what you love and live happily, but it is honestly hard for anyone to accomplish. Just ask yourself what exactly it is you want in the rest of your life and even if you don't know ask yourself if what you see in your current path is what you want. If it is then go on ahead, but know that whatever you choose you have to live with that forever.

Ghandi said be the change you want to see in the world, and building upon his wisdom, I think it's fair to say that you should be the change you want to see in yourself. If there's anything you want then go for it, and if theres anything you're searching for then find it, because at your age no one can stop you.

Don't worry about it. I was the same way as you in high school except replace SC2 with BW. Freshman year of college is a complete brand new start. It's the perfect time to make new friends, develop some hobbies besides gaming, and get your grades in shape. I must warn you though, do NOT blow this last chance. Once you start working and enter 'the real world' it becomes exponentially harder to alter your course in life.

I have one and only suggest for you and if you take it then you must live by this suggestion so here "Everyday do something you have never done before". Also if you ever feel like giving up on a goal or dream that you have for yourself and need a little motivation I suggest youtubing up some motivational videos.

Totally feel the same. But then I have wants too. Like a girlfriend. And good friends to hang out with often. And once I have that I want to be famous.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.
