My story may be the most weird of all. I'm 19, graduated school last year and now I work in a stripclub.
What do I do? I'm a disc jockey that wants to play in clubs but somehow ended up getting a residency in a stripclub. I get to play 4 times a week, for me it's paid practice. I have to admit it was quite depressing at first because i had no other gigs coming along and I'm not that kind of person that would ever go there or hang around people like that. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't even watch tv, you get the idea.
So am I happy? Well recently I have other gigs coming along, and working there grants me a huge opportunity since a lot of important people often show up. I have a loving girlfriend and I get to look at ass 4 times a week and get paid for it, I guess i shouldn't complain
I'm 32 years old, gonna be 33 in September. I used to feel that I had it good, but reality set in and I see how bad things are. I dropped out of high school(though I did get my GED). I haven't been able to find work as due to me, to put it bluntly, being a fat fuck, no place will hire me as despite the fact that other than my weight I am actually pretty healthy they feel I am a liability/heart attack waiting to happen. I've been exercising and watching what I eat, but weight loss is a slow process. I refuse to go for any of those surgeries as even though the processes have improved since then, a friend of mine lost his father due to complications with a weight loss surgery.
Honestly I wish I had done not just more, but SOMETHING. The best I have is the fact that I tried to and somewhat succeeded in making what ended up my mothers last years a little better for her.
20, been held back from doing things because of health problems, I'm fucking sick of where I live with my parents and there's no chance of moving out any time soon
Probably just going to shoot myself at some point
I am thirteen i hate nearly everyone
i guess that's progress
[QUOTE=GastricTank;41596658]Nope! I'm pretty bad at what I do considering how I go about it and how my art is quite lackluster compared to all of these other (some even younger than I am, some MUCH younger) talented artists I see EVERYWHERE.
Plus I'm 20 and I'm currently jobless and car-less so I'm just as much of a dingus as I ever was in gradeschool.
I don't feel 20.
Doesn't mean I'm not happy though. In fact, I'm quite happy.[/QUOTE]
chin up, you have some fantastic artistic skill, keep at it. I'm 20 and car-less as well, but I live in the UK so I can usually take public transport and shit

people would do well to remember that there will always be people better than you at your chosen skill - it's just part of life. if you work hard, there will always be people worse than you as well, so not to worry
I'm 15 and getting a moped drivings license within the next few weeks, i know mopeds are dorky. But i don't like travelling by bus/subway when they're cramped up, So this is a nice accomplishment for me

i go to the deviantart appreciation station to make me feel better
I'm 16 and I'm unemployed, should probably start looking for work in the next few months. I have a cute girl with me and people are starting to watch my videos. I'm not in an argument with anybody I know, either, so on the whole, I'm happy.
can't wait to work retail and die of interacting with people though

iirc epa tractors are hella expensive
20 years old.
3rd year of uni.
Working fast food.
Renting with a roommate.
Don't own a car.
Working on a game with my friend.
Play games with my friends daily.
Single.
Make random cool shit in my free time (such as pixel art, music, neat programming projects)
Overall, I'm happy with how I'm going. I'm a little bummed about still being single and I'd like to have a car, but I think I'm on track. Honestly, I only have a few goals in life and I reckon I have a good shot at them:
1) Have a job I enjoy working at.
2) Have kids.
3) Go to space at least once.
3 is a bit iffy but I'm slowly inching towards 1 and I think 2 will happen in due time.
I'm fifteen and a half. I want to get a degree having to do with the performing arts. I currently work as a community theature actor. I would say yes.
[QUOTE=FlashStock;41607477]iirc epa tractors are hella expensive[/QUOTE]
Epa tractors are illegal to make nowdays. Thats a "A - Traktor"
and no, just put a few 3500 - 4000ish swedish kronor.
EDIT: I'm getting my for [B][U]much less [/U][/B]than a moped, due to budget.
Yeah. Twenty Six years old, I have a car, I have a boyfriend (Soon to be husband in late 2014) and I got to have a gender fix. I also have a great job, doing what I love, and have a plethora of friends. Life's certainly gotten better from what it was a few years ago.
I'm 18, turning 19 in about 9 days, going to college in 3 weeks, been wanting to work on my own video game for 2 years now, and haven't really got anywhere, but I am happy with what I did so far, I'm only 18, hopefully I can achieve more soon.
no
I'm 18, just graduated from high school and I'm mostly just trying to save up some money while I decide just exactly what it is I want to do. So the majority of my life right now is working my boring-ass job in the electronics department of Walmart (although most of my co-workers are pretty interesting people), playing games, and hanging out with my friends before they all run off to university or whatever. I've also started dating a girl after being friends with her for around a year; it's been around two or three months so far.
So altogether I'd say I'm pretty happy with where I am right now, however the sheer amount of things that are out there really is quite intimidating.
I'm 17 years old, a huge "music fanatic" and I'm told that I'm really good at it. Playing mostly everything with different instruments rangeing from trombone/tuba/euphonium, vocals and drums just to name a few. I have studied music theory deeply for the last 5 years, made YTPMV and Mario Paint compositions since 2008 (dog videos anyone?) and usually people at my school ask me for help in the theorectical bits. Problem is the most people don't know or don't think I can do the job if they need backup, or they ask someone else because they are more experienced at for example drums. (After all, I've only learned it all by myself now for about a half year, with minor inputs from friends that have around 6-10 year of experience)
Not sure where it stands now. There have been many unexpected turns and I'll probably not be able to give an answer for the next 4 years.
20 and hell to the fucking no. Other than graduating high school with average grades and earning a little over the minimum wage in California, I have absolutely nothing noteworthy to put on my resume. In the the two years I've been taking classes at a local CC, I've only passed half of my classes and by the grace of God and my parents, they've forgiven me every single time I had nothing to show them at the end of a semester. For the coming Fall semester, I will be taking classes at a different CC and will be starting out with a blank slate. I have the full support of myparents and I plan to not disappoint them again. I will be studying Psychology (which I've always been interested in) and a few other classes in order to get back on track.
I should be in my prime physically, but I'm anything but that at 20. I can still participate in sports and play competitively, but nowhere near the capacity and potential that I could reach. I honestly can't stand to look at my body in the mirror. Just two-three years ago in high school, I was already on the heavy side (freshman year I weighed about 153, I now weigh 170) but I was a lot more fit and muscular. Its not fun being a pudgy 5'6 guy. Its long overdue, but I'm finally going to sign up at a gym with my dad and I have a few friends that I can work out with so that makes it all the more better.
I could go on for my days about my social life, but I'll save that for another time. Time to go out and kick some ass!
16, month away from turning 17.
-I am the sales manager of a motorcycle distribution company
-Currently own a car and a dual-sport (Street legal dirtbike) that i bought myself
-Planning on going to trade school when i graduate so i can get my mechanics certificate
-Have a loving family that supports me to the best they can
-I have good grades and an understanding school that doesn't swarm me with work
-And some absolutely wonderful in-laws that have taught me many life lessons. Without them i wouldn't have been the person i am now.
All in all, i am happy with my life.
I'm 18 and I'm doing okay, i guess.
My grades in school are good for the most part, but I feel like a lot of people are up and way beyond me.
Lately I've been slacking a lot in drawing, and I feel like I've made a lot of backwards progress in art in general. Stacked on that, I've been having trouble focusing on what I want to do and it's been slowing me down in practically everything. And I'm a big shut-in and I rely on my parents more than I'd like to.
All-in-all: I'm doing okay but I'm not very happy.
Nope, I've done a few cool things in life at 22, I got shot a couple years ago by a stray bullet, nearly killed me and I'm now wondering if I ever wish it did (probably not you fuckers are just depressing) All it really did was get me cool points, which are void because i'm a jobless carless, wastetoid atm. Had a car which I lost in an accident with a girl who became my girlfriend shortly afterwards. I didn't miss the car one bit because I had met a person I could really connect with and share my feelings with. However recently we broke up and it's taking it's toll. Can't say I really miss her, but I really isolated myself from any friends I had or could make in the time we were together. So now i'm a lonely fuck who posts on FP all day where previously I barely touched it for 8 months.
I've worked nothing but shit jobs my entire life, fast food, tech support, janitorial stuff. However I had a reasonably good interview today at a job I can see an inkling of a future at, or at least giving me the keys to a better one. I ran into an old childhood friend who's been wanting to hang with me for literally years, but I've put it off for one reason or another. I think i'm going to message him and see whats up, when I think back to my highschool friends and how shit they were it really motivates me to get back with my childhood pals. They were fucking amazing friends and I regret ever ignoring them.
At this point it's a new beginning for me, and i'll either continue to procrastinate and drag my heels, or get my shit together and make some friends/get a job/a car/go back to school. I've made my own life miserable at this point, however I've learned a lot and I plan to put it to use.
Girlfriends are nice but they're NOTHING compared to a true blue friend. I don't i miss her, I miss the company of someone who truly cares for me.

As far as i'm concerned the more I step out of my comfort zone at this stage in life, the more comfortable i'll be down the road.

Getting into acting seems like it'd be a fun thing to do. Risky business I assume, but you're starting at a young age, so it's possible. Good luck.
I turned 17 a month ago and must say that I am actually quite happy with my current life situation, even if I haven't done anything big yet. I spend most of my days doing stuff I like and want to do (next to school, of course). I enjoy hanging around with friends, browsing various websites and communities, reading programming articles, doing some actual programming myself, playing osu! to rank up or just sitting back and relaxing while watching the newest episodes of currently airing anime. My marks in school are superb and I am really happy that my understanding of the English language is enough to write this post and understand the people and the media around me. In the future I would really love to work as a programmer, both professionally and as a personal hobby, but my obsession with things like Japanese media and osu! are currently eating up all my time. Not that I have a huge problem with that since I am enjoying it, but when I see people like geel do such amazing things and they are just as old as I am I feel really lazy. :v:
Im fourteen, and I have no idea what the hell Im doing. I Lways wanted to go into biology or phsycology, but made a snap decision to go into a programming high school, so I'm just planning on going through the programming high school and using the experience I get there as something to help me decide where I want to go in life- if I like it, Ill go into the programming field, and if I hate it, Ill try to go to college for phsycology. I have dreams of doing things that change the way people think, like a big worldwide phsycological experiment that overturns one of the taboos placed by society, but I know thats probably never going to happen.
I used to have really big plans and such, but recently I've been realising that with most of those plans, I was going to be unhappy in the end. So I dont really want to focus on much now. I know I need a job, so Im focusing on school and such now, and I'd like to settle down somewhere quiet. I know that I'm probably going to end up alone, because I don't like people much- friends always end up stabbing you in the back one way or another, and my family is always in an endless cycle of fighting, making up, and fighting again. So far, the only person I've found that I can trust is myself, mostly, so Im going to stick with that. I just want to find a way to be happy, and Im finding ways to do that.
Ive accomplished almost nothing, except for creating my own code and writing journals upon journals in it, and writing down the lyrics of a bunch of songs- I still have to catalouge them all. I use it as a distraction, something to do when theres absolutely nothing else.
Im semi-happy- got some things I need to get over or fix in my life, but I'm at peace.

Don't worry about doing while you're young. You're not really given an opportunity to. You're being prepared for greatness in later life.[/QUOTE]
The greatness that is (best case scenario) working at the same job doing the same thing that you were taught how to do in school, and then growing old waiting for your pension, and finally dying. Please explain to me what is so great about that.
Aside from the forced motivational speeches about finding your purpose in life and being happy about trivial shit, there isn't much greatness in life for the majority of people. Folks just live their lives, do nothing extraordinary or outstanding, and then they die. Nobody will remember them, and some even have the misfortune of not having anyone to weep over them once they are gone.
It is a horribly banal life. Always has been and probably always will be. I found that it's best to face the reality of the situation instead of hiding behind pretentious feel-good drivel.
I turn 18 in 4 months and it feels strange to soon be an adult, I sure as hell don't feel like one. It feels like I'm still 13 because I haven't got anywhere in life, I have no proper life goals yet and my ambitions are still only vague dreams like writing a book or becoming a musician.
I'm 14, and I'm pretty happy with my life - greatest achievement probably being doing a total 180 and going from socially retarded geek with no friends to this kinda neat dude who's good at being with people and does sports and creative stuff.
So yeah, I'm glad. Yay :)

It's usually their own doing. If you have no one to weep over you when you pass, you likely didn't cultivate many relationships, and that's no ones fault but your own. Same with not doing anything extraordinary. Some people are happy with less, some with more.
I am eighteen years old, going to college and living at home. it will take me a year to do all of my prerequisites and two more to get my license, afterward I will not have to worry about money. I have a girlfriend that loves me, I'm in shape and well-read. Used to be depressed still am at times due to mood swings, however my life is going well and only seems to get better over time.
