Do you ever stop and think: what am I doing with my life?

I am about to graduate this upcoming year from undergrad. I have accepted a job offer (nothing too glamorous but something I think I am happy with, although sometimes I come to this site and begin to doubt if my job has any prestige whatsoever), have visions to work on a non-profit my final semester, and pretty good grades. However, I just find myself having random moments where I freak out and wonder if what I am doing is right.

I find myself pondering what if I took another path, what if I did something better, and what if I hate my job? To be honest, I feel like I don't even know what I'm getting into. What is in my future? It's kind of scary.

Anyone else ever feel this way?
