hi everybody,
im 22 and graduating next year as bio-engineer (specialised in biotech & bio informatics) and i have a shit feeling about it. Im still feeling the same as 5 years ago when i started uni, i only partied more and had more sex, but thats it 
I always knew what i wanted to do, and i always had a clear vision about myself in the future. The goals were clear, study & pass exams, have fun between the exams But know i graduate and there is no clear goal and i have never felt more insecure before. I am always full of confidence, be it in school, girls, sports, whatever, and now i start doubting about everything.
I signed Phd contract so i have a good job for the coming 4 years, but thats what everybody expects me to do. You have good results, you are offered a Phd, you take it. But now i start doubting about that as well, i applied for some jobs that are really far away from my biotech education (credit risk calculator, stock trader @ some banks, dredging company). And for some reason i had a confidence boost this year with girls, because i keep meeting hot young girls and have loads of fun with them, i even broke up with my gf for some weeks, now we are back together, but im doubting as well... She wants to live together next year, i dunno what i will do as a job. I might move to Australia or singapore to do some, i dunno what, job and travel in the meanwhile, and the steady gf doesnt fit in that picture.
Meh, making decisions, it sux. Im scared of being of school and being pushed in the 'standard' life without having fun. I studied hard since i was 16 or so to be where i am now, where i always dreamt of and now that im there, i dunno what to do with it. I even considered climbing for a year in nepal or switzerland, just to be away and try to find what i want to do.
Anybody with any suggestions what i should do?

If you've got the money definite travel around the world with a backpack, see things, meet new exciting people, if you get bored just go back home... That is what I would do if I had the money and finished studies....

I agree you should take a break before you start back into school. I didn't take a break between my undergrad and masters and was really burned out by the end.

"The concept of school seems so securrr" 
some people dont finnish uni until 24-25.
so i would have been able to close the crazy part of my life. dunno, we'll see. I have studied the regulation on my PhD thing and article 14 says "you can leave your position at any given time, if you contact your promotor and your research institution 1 week in advance". So i can just check it out and quit if i dont like it. Freedom after all!
