In college

[lil_jenny]

I don't have a goal at the moment, i really don't know what i want to do as a career and i'm not enjoying my courses at college because i haven't found one that i enjoy really. I got good grades in my GCSEs and want to carry on in education into uni, but i'm not doing very well at the moment because i feel a bit lost and probably more interested in my social life. I know that's not good from an outside perspective but because i just feel bored by college its making me feel better to have fun with my friends! Any ideas?

I felt college life was a drag sometimes particularly when you had to study stuff that you aren't particularly interested in but have to study because its part of the course. I recommend persevering with college as it always gives you more options when you complete subjects rather than dropping them out completely.

With regards to career, in your days off try to do as much work shadowing/volunteering in careers you are interested in and speak to as many people who are leaders in that field for their advice. Without any goals life can seem a bit boring and aimless but work on what inspires you and what you really aspire to accomplish in your life. The world really is your oyster.
