Monday Moans: 'Oh so what are you going to do with your life?'

On this lovely Monday i am going introduce to you my first segment of the week, Monday Moans. Monday Moans, as the title suggests, will be a weekly post consisting of a problem that is relevant in my life and something that i feel like i need to rant about so lets start...

The title of this post is a question that causes me great discomfort. It all started when i was thinking about leaving for my final year of uni, when curious family members would question me to see if i had a plan or if i would become the failure of the family. However the questioning has continued over the course of the year and now when ever you tell someone you have just finished uni that question is there immediate response. When you finish school everyone starts to ask this question but it is most commonly answered with 'i'm going to university' as that is what most people are pushed into doing, but what happens when you are about to finish your degree and there is no one to tell you what you have to do and what you are expected to do. It is scary and has caused me many sleepless nights with my mind repeating 'What are you going to do with your life' over and over again. Another problem building into this is Facebook, everyone else posting status' about how they have been accepted for their dream job or that they are continuing with studying but what about the people (or is it just me?) who have no idea what they want to do and have no idea how their degree is going to fit in with any potential jobs? I think i have come to accept that i probably will never know and i will just fall into a job and will either love it or hate it. However what i want to know is, what happens to the people like me who have no foreseeable life plan, you never hear about them as successful and due to lack of anything in life to brag about you never see anything from us on Facebook but i guess i will just find out.

What i am trying to say from this post is that no matter where you are in life, whether you are just leaving school, or like me just leaving uni, or even further along in your life and facing the same crisis as me, is that it is ok to feel like this and that your not the only one having a mild breakdown about those around you having a brighter future than you. Just remember at least you will always have a little bit of mystery in your life whereas others are on a path they might find out they don't even like. At the moment my life plan consists of actually making it out of the house one day and more importantly out of bed but I don't think that's going happen today so at least I do have a little bit of ambition in life.

What are you guys doing with your lives? I need to know so I can live vicariously through others,as whatever it is I'm sure it is more interesting than me.
