I'm a 19 year old engineering major (Turning 20 this year). I feel like I'm getting old. I feel like I've missed out on all the fun party life others had the chance to have.
How old am I really guys ;_;. I won't be graduating til I'm 23, and even then I'll be going straight for my phD.
I just wanna be in my aesthetic prime and have my fashion, looks, social/party life all top notch.
so /fit/...w-when is the aesthetic prime of your life? When you look your best, get mad pussy, fuck girls at that age that look better than any other age, have the freedom/money to fucking love every day
cuz right now i wake up in da morning n hate living, throw my cps and ilu sweats on and go to my engineering class that smells like piss, then try to work through seas of neckbeards discussing their LoL match over the weekend.

Dude guys have it good. If you end up being successful you will be able to have fun almost your entire life. We have the potential to look good way longer than girls do and even then if you are making the dosh you can get younger girls still. Don't even worry about it, your time will come.

>so /fit/...w-when is the aesthetic prime of your life?
when you go out and get it.
I'm in a seriously similar situation as you, minus the school and instead work. Turning 20 at the start of August and all I've been doing the past two months is freaking out about how little I've done in my teen years.
Co-worker of mine last week said "see your still in that high school mentality of opportunities will present themselves to you, but the moment you get your HS diploma that all goes out the window. no one cares about you except your family, no one is going to sacrifice jack for themselves to further you, it's all on you now"
and so now I've been working out and reading everyday for the past week. gonna start school this fall as well.

First of all, you are not old. I am 29 and I am still having the time of my life. I have been in various stages of fitness and rarely (but not never) has it impacted my fun in life.
Second, do not get your PhD wtf are you doing. Unless you're discovering the Higgs Boson, take your talents to the private sector. Cash rules everything around me CREAM get the money dollar dollar bills y'all.

Lol OP. You do realise /fit/ is 25-30 year old tfw no gf who mostly didn't goto college/uni and just work pleb jobs while lifting and counting calories while having sex with 5/10s on the weekends because most girls are ugly as fuck and it's hard to find anyone above 8/10.
If you didn't realise it by now I just described myself.
At least you're going to get a good education and get to work some easy mode job for probably 6 digit income working less hours/days with no where near as much physical work as I do.

just graduated high school and i feel the same.
it's like i missed out on that time when we're supposed to be able to just "go out and have a good time."
The way i see it though, there are people who are naturally of this mindset, and people who are naturally more cautious and stuff. if you're in the latter category, and youre feeling like every time you go out it's forced, then you're probably not doing yourself any favors by being upset.
idk. id say try to find hobbies where you're actually doing things you like. hiking or some shit. that's the only way you'll have genuinely memorable experiences and form real relationships

I'm a 22 year old GED holder with 4 years of IT experience.
I missed the "college" experience and the "Highschool" experience and spend the majority of my time around computers.
Real life doesn't "Happen" nor does pussy "Make it happen" for you.
You have to go out there and just say "fuck it" Vague advice but god damn, I'm trying my hardest to bring fulfillment to myself.

Dude, im the same as you. Eng major, 19 turning 20 this year, wont graduate until 22/23.
Never had a qt3.14 gf, or nay girl to talk to because im too shy/shit at socializing.
I mean, I wouldnt mind talking, but i just dont know what to talk about. Ive got a wierd accent as well, so a lot of time people dont understand me. Happens rarely now.
But maaan, theres never a day where i dont think about how much of a failure I am.

what more do you want? drinking a bit won't destroy your life. go out and just have a fun night, then maybe approach a few girls. you can't fail at this shit man.

>engineering major
Get your intern on. Get hired into a company out of bachelors.
Get masters on their dime (many, many engineering jobs will have tuition assistance as a benefit). See if you want to continue to PhD after that.
If you get a scholarship for your masters, go for it I guess, but no reason to go into debt when you can start earning perfectly good cash with a bachelors

Weekends are essential. If I ever wanted free time to go out to a party, it'd have to be friday only, i'd have to be at home in bed by 12 and drinking is a no no because i need to keep my schedule consistent to wake up the next day at 8 to study

I dont have a the guts to do that. But I made a bet with my friends, cuz i lost to them in blackjack, that i would go and ask out any girl when we go clubbing.
Im planning to do exactly what you did, though ill be a bit drunk. lets see how it goes.
Im just scared of what they will say to me. Ive always been fat most of my life, just last year i started get into fitness.
Ive changed a lot since then, people sort of comment on how much ive changed etc etc.
But I still feel like shit, due to all the bullying I got back in highschool and primary school due to bullying.
does help that 2 girls who we used to hang out said that i looked ugly.

I love it when I hear people talking about how "old" they are. My friend just graduated college at 22 and she was talking about this the other day--shes also probably the stupidest girl I've ever met just so you know who you're on par with.
Once you leave college and work with adults for a year you'll gain some perspective on your life. When I was in trade school I studied with 35 year olds who were starting a new careers. When I was living in Asia I met 25 year olds with money than they could spend, at 23 I'm going back to college and I don't even think my life will start until I'm 30
OP theres no point leaving your school now, but holy fuck just put in your hard work and make sure you get a good job when you're outt. I promise you, life doesn't start until you're 30. Meaningful life anyways. You don't get much exposure to adults and the way the world is when you're in high school and college, yet Western media has convinced everyone that adulthood starts at 18, and you should be fully integrated by then. By the time you're 1 year out of college you will be COMPLETELY different from who you are now
Also, if you don't want to be a bum dress up. I don't even wear jeans anymore unless I'm going to the grocery store. Wear black khaki's or dress pants

how the 20's actually feel, you feel "older" at first because the way you spend your time. Its not that you have less fun, it just there are more responsibilities and obligations that you take serious now. Keep in mind you pretty much lost that "young man recovery strength a couple years ago" Its just now your mentality is fighting you.
What it actually starts to feel like is straight up monotony. Stuck in a sea of uselessness where most of won't amount to just another blade of grass in ocean of fire. It doesn't get worse, but it doesn't get better either. From what I've seen that the body really starts going down hill no matter how good at being healthy you are after 30. If you got bad genes its not going to be a fun trip, but for most people its something thats manageable.
cheer up, have some fun doing things that you enjoy with people you love. Otherwise yes, you might as well die today.
