just turned 21, question about life?

Be careful! Introspection is dangerous. Yes you should travel, but it should wait until you fall in love. Maybe you should quit your job and take out a crap load of student loans and have a little more fun at school? Probably not.

Keep it simple. Read the Tao of Pooh, a good book on Taoism that will teach you to stop making life so complicated.

In summary, here is my advice: Be happy this week. Get some sunlight before winter hits. Simplify your expectations about life but still do the best you can.

What you 'ought' to have accomplished is relative to what you want. If you want to be an astronaut, then by now you should have enlisted in the Air Force to learn how to be a pilot. If you want to be a champion golfer you should have been in multitudes of tournaments. If you want to be a doctor you should probably be in med school by now. But it's not too late for most things. Sports is out. You don't start at 21. But put one foot forward to doing something, and if you change your mind about that 'something', do a left or right turn and head somewhere else.

Maybe you should be out getting drunk on your 21st and not pondering life!!! I'd say that you work too much at a boring *** job and you should be having more fun while you are young. And yeah, travel it is amazign and life changing. Or even better, just move! I'd recommend San Diego.

Maybe you should make your question more specific. It is hard to write just few lines about the meaning of life.
