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?

Nearly every single person on the planet feels that way sometimes mate. Just keep doing something worthwhile, keep doing what you enjoy, and trust that it will workout in the end.
