>I don't see myself being a teacher
I'm in a vaguely similar position. 21, final semester of my History undergrad. I can barely bring myself to do the 4 or 5 remaining essays in my university career- it's like pulling my fingernails out with pliers. I get a sick, sinking feeling in my stomach whenever I even think about starting some school-related work. It's not that I'm worried about failing (I always be quite well, usually an A- at minimum), I just don't fucking want to do it. What's keeping me going right now is looking forward to being an ESL teacher. That sounds kind of pathetic but I've wanted to get out of the hamster wheel (elementary school -> high school -> university -> extra certifications -> work for decades -> die) forever. I love the idea of only working ~30 hours per week (and even that is barely "working"- from what acquaintances have told me lots of that time will be spent reading in an office) and having loads of money and time to explore new places, read, eat weird food, etc. What I'm trying to say is that maybe you just need an end-goal instead of the nebulous end-point of "idk maybe grad school but I hate it". Remember that we have the gift of being incredibly young. There are LOTS of 22, 25, even 30 year olds who are completely lost and still scrounging around in the muck, barely getting by. I know it feels like shit but I strongly recommend you put your head down and finish your undergrad. It's stupid but having an undergrad degree with your name on it still means a lot in regard to what kind of jobs you can do and how much you're going to hate said jobs. We're all gonna make it, bud.

Can you explain why? I like having reoccurring character pop up, like our resident mommy milkers « Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ».
