So…

I’m sort of a mix between sophomore/junior in college, and I’m just not liking it. I’m very inquisitive, curious, and love to learn, but not for a grade because it’s just a flawed system (much like learning useless info just to win a game, not to learn the info for your own good.)

Another thing about me is I am very free-thinking, and don’t go with norms. I’m creative, spiritual, but not so much religious, artistic, love singing, and don’t know what life is supposed to give me or anyone else for that matter.

I think the whole american system (and other country’s sytems too for that matter) of getting a “perfect 9-5 job and having kids in a white picket fence” concept is somewhat obselete. If it makes people happy, that’s great, but for me, I don’t know if that’s where my passion(s) lie.

I don’t even know what my passions are. Well, I love singing, acting, creating, visualizing, writing, philosophizing (is that a word?), and not much else haha

So I’m not sure what to do with my life, what to major in, what use a college degree is (which shows you are great at rhetorical vomit at least so far–maybe that’ll change in the future) and I’m overall just generally confused and overwhelmed.

Anybody else been through this or have any advice? I wonder if an alternative career path is worth my while.
