El Pecho Frio

22 years old and I’ve literally done nothing with my life.

>be me, get into university at 16
>choose a major just because it’s the same one my sister studied, since I never had any real interest in anything before going to college
>fail the major, drop out after a year and a half
>spend another year and a half working low-paying jobs for young people, like restaurants and factories
>enroll in another university, same exact major, didn’t develop anything about myself, just picked the same thing at a different school
>only now realizing that what I’m studying and the job options I’ll have afterward make me deeply depressed and unmotivated
>while I’ve been studying, the field got oversaturated with students, and what used to be a promising and well-paying career is now underpaid
>still doing terribly, can’t study or do homework, failing courses out of pure disinterest
>22 years old, no savings, no income, still living with my mom

I still have about 2 years left to barely finish this degree. I’m determined to complete it this time, even if it was a mistake and the job depresses me, I’ll do it just to feel like a little less of a failure.

I really love cinema and literature, and I’m currently writing. I’d love to make a living doing that, though I know it takes time, experience, and luck.

Most likely I won’t be able to make it writing, and I’ll end up working the rest of my life in a job I hate. Not everything is black and white, but that’s how I see the future, and I get a knot in my stomach when I think about these things.

Any advice? Words of comfort? Similar experiences?
