Question: Midlife crisis at 21!.!.!. Supposedly the best years of my life!? =/!?
I'm female!. 21!. Dropped out of college, because I don't learn very well in a classroom setting (very much a self-learner/self-starter)!. I had trouble in classrooms paying attention to the teacher!. My mind seemed to be two chapters ahead of the lectures every day so I would sit and daydream!.!.!. no motivation to continue school either!.
So I feel like I am "drifting" through life!.!.!. working 45+ hours a week at a diner across the street!. Making a lot of money, building a good savings!.!.!. but I have no idea what I want to do with my life!.
I'm living with my boyfriend, in Texas!. I'm from Washington State and moved halfway across the country to be with him, go to school, and get some breathing room from parents!. My boyfriend is my best friend!. I love him!.
Parents want me to go back home over the summer, miss me terribly!. I'm torn between staying and going over the summer!.
At the same time, I feel like I am having a serious life crisis at 21!. Please help!. I am desperate! =(

go out with a friend, not your boyfriend but a friend!. have a few drinks and you will be all better! its just stress!Www@Answer-Health@Com
First off your not the only one who can't pay attention in college!. I am about to graduate and I think I really have payed maybe a few hours tops attention to my teachers!. Best thing you can do is find classes that are online or the teacher doesn't take attendance grades and you will do better!. Depending on how long you have been with your bf why don't you take him home with you for a week or two!? The best thing you can do is get an idea of where you want to be in 5 years and work your way backwards to find a way to get there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Visit your parents; it doesn't have to be all summer--a couple of weeks will do; then go back to your boyfriend in Texas!.
As for finding out what you want to do with your life, RELAX; you've got plenty of time to figure it all out!. I was in my forties before I discovered I wanted to be a cartographer (mapmaker)!. Now, I am, and I'm enjoying it greatly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The 'where you want to be in 5 years' suggestion is great advice!.
So put some time and effort into learning what you are passionate about, what you have skills and talents in, and what types of jobs/careers incorporate those things!. Because if you can be good at something that you are passionate about, AND make a living at it, then no matter what happens you will be a success!.
And, btw, go see mom and dad, at least for a short visit!.
Oh !. !. !. and relax!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
