My sister and I were discussing the same thing, especially how these days, getting anywhere in life takes a lot longer. My dad was financially self-sufficient when he was 21, we won’t be until we do our masters at the very least. And like you, all we do is work and study. But try to have a balance in your life - study with friends instead of alone, try to enjoy your work and your studies, or else get a new job. Make friends wherever you go. Take up a new hobby even if you are terrible at it. Set a few non-work or school related goals, mine is to comile an anthology and paint or color evey damn page myself. Since you are working, it means you must have some money saved, so go on exchange, go to another country to study and take classes there. Or when you get done with school, go to another city or another country for a job, don’t be stationary. Start a club at school, write an article about something you are passionate about for the paper, be iconaclastic even for a minute a day. Try to do a good deed a day, even if it something as small as smiling at someone.

For so long I waited for my life to start and I considered the “now” a transition to that point, don’t have that attitude. Things aren’t so bad really.

Some really good suggestions… I feel that we are moving away from natural world and living more in our own virtual cubicles…

Five yrs ago i used to think like that too… had fewer real world friends than virtual friends… use to have no activity other than studies and computer gaming… But than i tried to break out of this world… Like every yr i try to go to one annual northern area trekking/hiking trips with friends… try to have atleast 1 gettogether with my school friends… have managed to get incontact with 35 ppl of my class of 48… Try to play cricket with university batchmates every saturday morning around 6 am. But the biggest thing is that i try to avoid sitting on the computer when i m at home or unnecessarily… Computer eat into ur free time a little too quickly.

Just my view
