<p>ok, i just visited this thread where ppl were stating their aspirations...and i realized i had none.</p>

<p>wondering if im alone?
anyone else just, you know, taking life as it comes?</p>

<p>i have no definate goal in life
i havn't the slighest clue as to what i'll become (career-wise)</p>

<p>i don't know what hard work is
i have never studied except ABSOLUTELY required</p>

<p>most (if not all) classes in high school bored me to death</p>

<p>so, am i just randomly drifting? or arethere (im sure there are) other people here who dont have a clue? lost in the void like me?</p>

<p>dont worry.. these pepl on cc are the smartest, brightest kids in the u.s</p>

<p>there are millions like you! i know that when i tell my friends my future, they are like, ehh you got everything sorted!!
My friends are like you too. and practically everyone else in the school.</p>

<p>if you want to improve, just stay focused. give yourself time to think of what you want to do, what you want to achieve, your goals: short or long.. </p>

<p>ps school bores me to death too. the only reason i go is to see friends.. other than that, i'd get home schooling</p>

<p>I for one have no idea what I'm doing. Am I slacker? Maybe a little. But I am trying to find my way. </p>

<p>Of course, I do feel a lot of uncertainty, and I do find people's apparent certainty intimidating. It's scary that seemingly everyone knows precisely what they want to do in life, and I (still) don't. It's scary that we live in an increasingly competitive, workaholic world and yet, here I am, playing it all by ear. But perhaps there isn't anything wrong with that. Perhaps, it IS alright to simply to take life as it comes? </p>

<p>I don't know the answer, but I definitely know where you're coming from. So no, you're not alone. And I honestly believe that just because you don't really know exactly what you are doing or in what direction you want to pursue, doesn't necessarily mean you cannot/will not be happy or successful. After all, happiness and success are determined according to how YOU, yourself define them.</p>

<p>If I am allowed to be so bold, I'll mention that the guy mentioned above is an intl applicant who got a full ride at lots of cool colleges including Duke. And has superduper grades... i'llbeback: maybe you're just a lot more smarter than others so you dont need to work that hard.</p>

<p>^ haha thanks mercurysquad... im flattered, even though i wouldn't describe my grades as "superduper" (:</p>

<p>just curious- does everyone who has an "aspiration" 100% sure about it? or do these "aspirations" change frequently?</p>
