I have spent almost three years of my life doing nothing. just stay at home, watch tv, help around the house...my week would pass by so fast and withot me doing anything realy productive. that was the time when i decided to take a break from schoolingh...i only want to be out of school for one semester but since i wasn't able to file for a leave of absence, ibecame hesistant to return to school and almost feel that i would not be able to graduate anymore. i thought i had no hope then and that i would be a bum for the rest of my life, i didn't know what to do. i am just waiting for whatever destint and fate would give me when i have no action on my part. in fairness, i was stress free then , i had no worrries, no problems, no goal...just gliding through life but i am also sad and felt useless. i grew fat but my complexion and overall aperance improved a lot though maybe because i have no worries.i was able to create great short stories then and it was published in a magazine. but one day i just realized that i can't go on like this and finally said to my mom that i wish to retun to schol. my mother and the rest of my family were so supportive and i am grateful to them so i return to school, a changed, more determined person and finished college afer 1 and 1/2 year. now i am working, a professional and someties couldn't help wondering that i had made a very wise decision when i decided to do something about my destiny and that i have wasted so much time. but i have no regres, i have learned..maybe this is really the time that god had planned for me. anyway, at least i have learned many lessons from it and now i am happy with my life.

Hello, i was in that situation a long time ago, i would spend a lot of time on the computer, helped my mother around the house etc. I had no goals, no ambitions i just watched time as it passed by, sometimes without even noticing. Then one day i realized i could not keep on like that and went to college, and kept on doing things since then, i sometimes do regret all the wasted time, but i learned a lesson from it too!
