What the hell are you doing?

I feel the need to express something, and for people to care about it. Does anyone else feel like life is good, but you want more? I'm finding that I know what I want out of life, although I'm not sure I can explain exactly what it is.

My problem: I'm not sure how to go about getting what I want.

Do I want a college degree? The sense of accomplishment would be great, and so would the education. I have some sense though, that college is simply a more expensive version of high school. High school is where I learned a lot, just by going through the experience. I can't say I actually remember more than 10% of what was in class.

With a degree, I feel like I'll have a piece of paper that lets potential employers know that I'm capable of crap I already knew I was capable of before the degree.

I suppose my biggest fear in life is waking up one day and feeling like I've wasted my life. I'm not talking about having a nice car, a big house, or lots of money (though I'm always accepting of gifts!). This is the part I can't explain - I've always I've been on the edge of doing something I'll feel really great about, but in the end I've always taken the safer road. The easier road. The road that keeps me comfortable, though it leads to nowhere.
