I'm at the point of my life where I have to become an adult, and soon. I'm 18, I've got friends, I lift, I get high marks in school, almost every parameter of success for normie life I excel in. But I don't feel happy, and I don't know what I want to do with my life. I can go to damn near any college in the U.S., and I have no fucking clue what to do for a job that'll leave me satisfied. I'm not destitute, but I'm not rich either. I don't want to be a burden on my parents or siblings by staying in the house for too long either, y know? I'm considering the military just because I have no real other direction, and it shouldn't be too hard to advance, because it's a meritocracy, right? Enlisted ranks are shit though, so it'd be officer school if I went that route.
I guess the point of this thread is what advice would you give to yourself at age 18.
