Do You Ever Feel...

Like the rest of the world is moving while you're standing still? I don't know what it is lately but I feel like everyone around me is advancing in their lives/careers/education and I'm just sitting passively, watching them succeed in their various endeavors. I know that I'm only 20, soon to be 21, but I feel like I should've done more with my life by now. In highschool I was unstoppable. I had a great job, I spent weekends out with my friends, I traveled to 10 countries and 14 states, as well as Washington D.C. Now it's pretty much school and work, school and work-day in and day out that's all I do. The only time I'm motivated to do anything with my life is when I'm at work. I love my job. Since I left for University, a good number of my friends have gotten married and/or had kids. Some of them went to work full time, some of them went into the military, and others went to get degrees in their field of choice. I guess more then anything I just feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I hate being in one place for this long. I love to travel, to see other cultures, other people, other ways of life. Since I've been at University, I've only really traveled twice-and both of them were short trips. I'm thinking about just taking the whole month of May and traveling, where-I don't know, with who-again I don't know, but maybe it will give me some motivation. Does anyone else feel like life just got boring?
