In your opinion...am i in the right place in life for my age?

i feel like i am a immature girl for my age. this is only b/c i am dating someone older and in a diff. stage in life than me and he is done with his partying days. i am 21, 2 years left of college, planning on applying for my Ph.D next year. I do volunteer clinical work and I am a research assistant as well. I study hard and also have a job (once a week due to heavy school load). I care about family and friends. I do have a crazy party girl side. I like to go out with my friends and drink a lot a lot....like most of the kids at my college do. I smoke as well. I concern myself with things that are interesting to me. I like science and do not concern myself with politics. I'm nervous that someone I meet in his fam or friends will ask me about politics and I will have nothing to say. Nonetheless am I in the right place for my age? I'm just having self doubt lately...which I know many others have at some point(s) in his or her life.

Hey, you are doing a whole lot better than a lot of people your age. Don't stress about what his family MIGHT ask you. If you are a decent person with goals and aspirations they will like you no matter what you might think.
Reply:You're ahead of the curve for your age.





You probably need to put a "don't get sick" limit on your alcohol use...
Reply:Everyone is different. But I would say your in a right place.





I'm really immature for my age, not like I act like a two year old, but because I don't do the things my classmates or friends do which basically leaves me to focus on other things.





So everyone is different. If you feel good about yourself and don't feel the need to change than yes, your in a right place.
Reply:I don't believe that anyone is ever in the right time of life to routinly go out and get drunk. I do however think that there is nothing wrong with going out with your friends ad getting crazy and having fun (minus the alcohol). Do it now before you get the responsibilities of a husband and children and then you aren't able to anymore. The biggest thing I see with dating someone more than about 5-10 years older than you is that you are at different stages and you both have to learn to cope with that, especially when you are so young. Enjoy your youth while you can, be serious when you have to and be crazy when you can. Try to have fun and not take life to seriously.





But make sure you finish college. If you don't do it now, you may never get back to it.

"So, yes, I guess I should leave this man alone and date someone my own age since I'll be more comfortable."

Reply:don't make your life very complicated. you are in that place because you either chose to be there or it was really your fate to be there now. still, you have the option to keep everyhting in your life the way they are now or you can initiate changes (good changes) that will even surprise yourself. don't be conscious with what other people will think. do what you want to do as long as you find it right, good and true.
Reply:Concentrate on your schooling and don't worry about relationships so much. When you are finished with your learning you can divert some of your energies toward developing a relationship with someone. Hang out with your friends and have fun while you can. You will be older before you know it.
