50% of your life (all of your youth and more) goes in studying hard
40% goes to doing some job you don't really hold much affection for
the rest goes to being a useless old coot that kids throw rocks at
UNLESS your daddy's rich
Enjoy
honestly I wanna go back to solving my problems with a giant axe

We have a dropout rate of ~40% in the school of Computer Science this year. Not much time to get drunk.

More like circuits and compilers and databases. Now that you mention it, dropout rate for Java classes was 25%, so it's not like those were a breeze either.

You really need to find some direction in your life, something to make you feel you have a purpose. I suggest you think of what you would realistically like to achieve in your life, and then distinguish individual steps that you would need to take in order to realise that achievement. Finally you ascertain the immediate action you can take, lets say within the next week, to make progress towards completing that first step.

Not all realistically achievable endeavours have the same probability of being achieved, even with the perfect mindset and organization skills.
If there is something I would want more than anything else to achieve in my life it was the prospect of making my consciousness immortal, either through biological immortality or some type of virtualization procedure.
And although both of us know this is a very possible scientifically achievable endeavour within our natural biological lifetimes, the odds of it actually happening are close to none, not by scientific limitations, but rather because of countless external factors, such as economic funding and several others social factors that a change of this magnitude would have in the human condition and in all of humanity as a whole.

interesting concept but you do realise that science still does not really know what consciousness is?
we know these days it is being realised in a certain brain centre and if that area gets damaged the person will no longer be self-aware
more practical: you will need to dump your body since it is flawed, destined to decay
so you can have your brain fed with tubes floating is some tank (Roald Dahl, certain episode of Futurama)
or transfer your personality and knowledge to a neural network (William Gibson - Neuromancier, Ghost in the Shell or The Matrix) but will it really be you then?
also what would you like to accomplish as an entity without limbs and means to feel life?
each day utter boredom

There is still several unknowns in the understanding of some of the mechanics that enable consciousness, but we have a really good picture of the overall bio electro-chemical mechanism that makes consciousness what it is, and as complex of a system as it may be, it is still a system that emerged gradually in the increasing entropy of the universe, which makes its degree of complexity finite and therefore able to be understood by itself!
As for the second part of your post, I think the most logical mindset about this subject is the fact that although each of us are to a great extent merely copies of our ancestors, our consciousness is still unique, unmatched in the universe, our short limited lifetime is the only time in the whole of existence where my unique consciousness will exist, if it dies, it will end, forever.
In my opinion, there is nothing worst than this fact, in a way, our consciousness awareness of reality, makes our consciousness reality itself, when it ends, reality ends, each death is a "ending of the world" in a manner of speaking.
It is unbearable to know that we are all in a process of countdown to non-existence.

How about making clothes in a Bangladeshi sweatshop for €0,10 an hour, 12 hours a day and living in single room appartment with 12 people? And if you need to go to the bathroom, you can just dig a hole in the ground.
The West doesn't seem like such a bad place anymore eh?
