Biologically? To reproduce. We live, we reproduce and then we die.
But closer to the answer you're probably rooting for: to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is one of those journeys that everyone is on. We're all seeking whatever makes us happy: be it money, material goods or love, we all crave it. It moves us, and in turn, we move it.
How to cure your boredom:
Get off the Internet. Seriously, this is the biggest tip. Go out and film stuff you'd never take the time to look at. Pick up a stone and take a peek at all the creepy-crawlies that are waiting underneath. Grow some plants- roses, strawberries(yum<3)..Decorate your room.. or whatever floats your boat. But being on the Internet steals a part of your life away.

What is the meaning of life ? the big question, with no reinforced answers, no 42 doesn't count (non literally speaking, If you saw what I did there ). But before I can attempt to form an answer we first must understand, the context of the question. The most controversy word in the question is "meaning", as it stands to have a higher factor of interpretation. Let see how the meaning of other things fits together; what is the meaning/ what is the point of education, well this question does have an answer. The meaning of school is knowledge or education, but why is it that we found that answer but, we don't know the meaning of life. Maybe we should consider the differences, we created school for education, that's why its so easy to find the meaning; we know the motorization that indirectly caused that particular thing to be. So at this point the meaning of something is the thing that caused that individual thing to exists. Let reinforce this logic with another examples; what is the meaning of T.V to communicate. But then what happens if we apply this to something natural? What is the meaning of potato? At this point you would of said something along the lines of; to eat. But does this prove that something's meaning is why it was created, is wrong? I think not; because this answer is only from the human prospective, I know this will sound silly, but this answer is biased. The real meaning can still be the reason it was created technically, this would result a meaningless answer like; billions of years just by luck. But if in that previous sentence you may see that, i used the word meaningless in describing the exception application of meaning, this by definition shows that. What is the meaning of life/ why does life exist ? It all just comes down to luck. Most of you will now be thinking that answer is wrong, think; if you don't life something can it really make it logically wrong ? If you now understand I presume your impression on the meaning of life has gone from; It doesn't make scene and I hate it, to simply I hate it.

I gave up on facebook a while ago. Try tumblr.com. :) You can get away from people you know and sort of have your own little world. I have an account and it's filled with all the stuff I love. If you stay long enough, you may make some good friends. It's confusing at first to work, but once you get the hang of it, it's definitely worth it.
However, even if you don't make an account. Trust me, there's more to life than facebook. There's cinema, food, tv, people, planes, go out and find the world. There's also books which are complete magic. And pets.
We live in a world of infinite. Find the things you love, surround yourself with them.

The meaning of life is different for a lot of people. You have to find the meaning of life for yourself. Find what you enjoy doing, your passion in life and what makes you happy. Find good goals and work towards those goals for yourself to be successful in life and happy with what you are doing. Remember, what you put into life is what you get out of it. And, they say success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Work hard to get where you want to go and have perseverance. Then, you will get somewhere and later you will look back, be in a better place and say to yourself, it was all worth it and you will grow as a person and learn alot along the way.

You know yourself, realize your will. What is it that you will to see in reality that is not? Try not to explain away dreams as not being possible, for you are impossible to be, there is no explanation to justify the creation of all that is. Science says our furthest ancestors of all life are cells. How did birds grow wings to fly? Surely the birds did not just one day grow wings out of a dream to fly, or could they have? So in our denial to change our being, one pursuit is creation of machines to do dreams, yet we do not change... ourselves. You ask What is the meaning of life, but What is just the meaning. Think of WHAT as being a part of yourself, so "WHAT" is the meaning of life is both the question and answer. You are WHAT, dream big, see deep into the heart of infinity and make of it what you will. All you know, all perceived limitations, are only known to yourself and may only be changed by yourself if you choose, we are only here to guide you.

you should be asking, what is the meaning of your life to you, guess it means different things to different people, money to some, health to others, sin to some, reproduction to others and so on, my old english teacher used to say quote when you work, work hard, when you play, play hard thats what makes a happy life, and I have always remembered this seems good to me.
