How many of us have our lives and drug use under control?

Kind of but also not really. I'm 23 and have failed out of college twice, both times largely in part due to video game addiction and smoking weed constantly. I worked really hard to get back into school and go back, then threw the work away after a semester... Anyways, when I went back to school and before I failed out the second time I got an internship in my field with a big and respected company, and despite failing out they let me come on with them anyways. Spent 6 months interning before signing on for a position in the factory side as there were no (and still arent) any openings for office side. They let me keep my rate of pay, at 17 dollars an hour. So I can't complain too much about that I guess. My girlfriend and I will have been dating for two years this summer and will be moving in together in two weeks.

So in some ways I have my love together; making decent money, moving in with gf, some opportunity for advancement within my company. And for the first time in 6-7 years I'm not really feeling depressed am the time, I'm actually fairly content. I don't mind my work most days.

But then, I'm a two time college dropout. If I went back to school in my current field I'd have a year and a half minimum to finish, but if I went back I wouldnt want to go for it as it really isnt a passion. I always, ALWAYS loved thr outdoors and science and biology from early grade school, and through high school. I would go for wildlife bio and try to be a park ranger I think. But I feel like its too late now. I'm 23, my savings are going towards moving out, I feel like I'm past the college stage of my life. I dont have any debt and going back to school would put me so deep in it. And I'm not even sure if I want it enough this time to actually succeed.

All of the uncertainty and anxiety in my life has been caused by failing, twice, out of college. For the love of god if youre reading this, follow your true passion and stay in school. I know I wish I had...
