1 year older, none the wiser

So, my birthday was yesterday and I finally made it to 23...woohooo!! For some reason I feel like 23 sounds so much older than 22 and it is kinda freaking me out because I feel like I should have direction in my life and have things kinda put together by now, but needless to say I do not. I actually feel like I have less direction in my life now than I ever have before. I always knew I had school to get done with so that was my goal, but now that I have accomplished that I thought I would have a job, but that is not looking so promising right now either. So basically, I am 23 and living paycheck to paycheck with no idea what I am going to do with my life. I spend half of my time working at Applebee's with people who are either still in school and just want some extra cash or people who have taken waitressing as their job in life. I don't know where I fit in with these people; I am definitely done with school, but I don't see waitressing as my real job, but since I have no other prospects I guess I am more similar to the people whose career is waitressing....basically I am pathetic and doing nothing with my life. The other half of my time is spent sitting at the beach and relaxing, and it is the most amazing thing ever. However, I think I am starting to enjoy it too much and that is why I am not seriously looking for a job right now. I mean with waitressing I can take time off whenever I need it and ussually find a sub for work if I want to spend the whole day being a beach bum. Its really pathetic and I never thought that I would be ok with where I am right now, but I completely am and it is scaring me. What happened to the direction and drive I used to have in my life. I dunno what happened to it but I really hope I can figure something out soon cause I am getting way to comfortable in this life of nothingness.
