\u00a0\u00a0 Do you ever just sit down and evaluate your life? Whether it\u2019s purposeful or not. I know I can\u2019t be the only person that randomly thinks what am I doing with my life? Why am I still stuck in the same place that I was 2 weeks ago? Even though I\u2019m only 16 it feels like I should be doing more. It feels like I should have more of a solid plan for my life than I do. It feels like I\u2019m just going with the wind and that is somewhat true, but I feel like I\u2019m doing absolutely nothing with my life, even when I know that\u2019s not true.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 There\u2019s just a lot of doubts I have about myself sometimes until I look around and see so many other people in the same predicament as me, and they aren\u2019t struggling or upset about it. The time will come when everyone figures out what they want to do with their lives. There shouldn\u2019t be so much pressure around picking a job or career because you never know what you like until you try it. I said all that to say that you don\u2019t have to have your entire life figured out. Especially as a teenager or young adult, because you have time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 There\u2019s no rush to choose something but always be sure to have options. I know a lot of young people think that they must come out of high school knowing exactly what they want to do in life, without ever experiences. It\u2019s impossible to know if you like something if you haven\u2019t tried it. I don\u2019t like it when adults constantly ask what we want to be in life when we haven\u2019t even been prepared to live on our own. Most young people don\u2019t know how to open a bank account, write a check, do their taxes, or even rent an apartment, which is incredibly sad. I feel as if our generation is highly intelligent, and more than capable of surviving, but we haven\u2019t been properly educated about life. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel as if we\u2019re sent out into the world to fail. Not trying to place all the blame on adults, because it\u2019s not all their fault. Young adults, earlier generations, as well as societal preferences all play a part in not preparing young adults for real life, in my opinion.\u00a0I think that there should be more necessary classes available to help and give purpose to high school and college students.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
