Blaire, here's an EASY, and I mean FUCKING EASY way to make life cool, fun, happy, and all the other shit that you're whining you don't have.
Step One: Go out in the woods for a half a day (or a couple hours, whatever). Stop, shut up, don't talk, don't think, don't wonder about what life SHOULD be. Now listen. NO really listen, what do you hear? That's life. Now smell -- see how many different things you can smell. That's life. Look around, find big things, find small things, find alive things, find dead things. Look at colors, textures, movement. THAT'S LIFE. Everything else is Bullshit. Cities, TV, Movies, Cars, Money, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, ALL USELESS. Well actually nice ADDITIONS to life, but NOT life.
Step Two: Go volunteer for some elderly, or kids, or homeless, or tutor some fellow students, or whatever. Helping OTHER people makes you feel GREAT, and IT'S LIFE.
Step Three: Go chop a pile of wood, or dig a fucking hole/ditch, or run till you drop. Once you've exerted yourself physically out in the fresh air, you'll feel how great life is.

There. You're Welcome.
God. (Or the closest alternative.)
Sean Hudson, thank you for the advice.
