Question
Im about to be a senior next year and I suddenly have a fear of how my life can turn out. For some reason, I've become afraid of wat my life will offer me later on. Im almost goin to college and I still dont kno wat I wanna do. One day im interested in writin lyrics, another day im givin advice to my friends, other days I want to have a career dat wont upset my parents (really want to be in the entertainment bizz, but they think its a waste of goin to skool). I never had a girlfrend, dont kno who I can go for, and afraid I might end up alone. I have no idea how to deal wit these problems.

Answer
Haha don't worry so much man!!

I'm in my first year of University and I still don't know what I wanna do, so it's really not a big deal.  I always wanted to be a stage actor, and believe me, my parents weren't too impressed with that either, but now I'm not sure.  The best way to go into things is to study what you enjoy, because there's not a lot of point working somewhere you're miserable.  Better to be happy and not making a lot than miserable and rich.  'Cause after all, when you die, will it really make a difference what your job was or what you studied?  What's important is you doing what makes YOU happy.  And don't let anyone stop you.
