I'm not sure anything will top the day to day life that is college but not being broke is fricking awesome. I graduated about a year ago and am traveling more than ever, am able to afford nice alcohol, don't really have to budget when I go out for meals or go out to the bars. I updated my whole wardrobe and got a new car. Day to day I definitley miss college but man I was stressed about having to spend $50 on an Urgent Care visit when I was in college. Having money is nice.

Your nascent steps into adulthood and a search for meaning are important, and yet, so many in your generation like you are really struggling with this.
It comes from living in a time of satiated needs and mostly satiated wants. This is not your fault. In fact, it’s strangely your misfortune.
It’s a much more difficult path to find meaning in a world without much hardship. There is some truth to the Nietzschean idea that whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. It’s hard to grow, physically, mentally, or spiritually without some resistance.
You need to transition from looking at the world as a race to collect the most cool things and cool experiences to a view of the world as a place of duty. You owe it to your friends, your family, your community, and the world, to take on the responsibility to be the best person you can be, to lift the heaviest load you can handle, and to move yourself and the world towards goodness the best way you can in your own particular calling.
Find a good woman and make a good life for her and for you. Become the hero that the world needs, and to which your potential is calling you towards.
You’ve only just begun to learn what the world is about. Get going, keep your eyes open, and follow the road that rises in front of you!

Best days of your life are when you do the most bonding with your closest friends
The stories you find yourself retelling and re-living with your buddies when you go out for a drink, those are the best days
That’s not to say you can’t have better moments that surpass those things later in life, it’s just to say that consistent state of carefreeness, invincibility, and lake of anxiety isn’t as present as it was then

4-8th grade. Riding my bike with friends and playing sports. Nothing else mattered.

Junior and senior years of HS. Did nothing but played sports with neighborhood friends and fished. I remember some guys at school talking about how much they hated it and couldn’t wait to get out. I remember thinking they were idiots and knowing these were the easiest and most stress free years we would ever have.

I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve lived an awesome life even though the first 15 yrs were very hard . If I changed it I might not have the life I have now . Good health , great home , wife and son .

I've done just about every drug there is, but the normalization of hallucinogens is some creepy shite.

No. College was fun, but I’m 26, in better shape than I was 4 years ago, no kids, and get my first big boy check tomorrow after finishing grad school. Can’t wait to start traveling. Plus I still get hammered for LSU games
Speaking from experience, that new job luster will go away

Nope. I've led an enjoyable and interesting life so far. God willing, I have a long, enjoyable and interesting life ahead of me.
