Reason I ask is because I was chatting with a friend of mine whos been pondering the same thing (we have the same close group of friends). It seems like the majority of them only want to talk about alcohol, next place to go drinking, and other dumb shit. No one really ever tries to talk about world, future plans, important topics like financial stuff, real estate, government, etc.

They also seem to be really scared to grow up and go into the real world (we're in college, and some are graduating this semester, some in a year, so everyones pretty close to being in the real world).

It makes me wonder if I could be doing better? Or at least be inspired to do better and achieve more.

I love those people to death, but sometimes I feel like I could do better I guess.

Anyone care to share?
This will be a turning point in your life. Friends grow apart; it has certainly happened to me. It's not necessarily "could you be doing better" it might be more of a "Damn, I'm gonna have to drop these guys if i want to continue."

Your time to start the path to your personal success might be NOW while there time might be later or Never.

Don't belittle yourself just for a little fun.
