For context, I just finished my last year of High School. As many people before me, I got a job for the summer before college. I can’t complain, I have good hours, good pay, and a low stress job. The problem is just how normal it feels. I spend 8 hours a day doing mindless work, just to then go home and repeat. I’ve been working for about a month now (this is not my first job, but my first full time), and I just have a feeling of “that’s it?”. Is this all I am going to do once I finish college too? I understand that this may a dumb problem, but it is a weird feeling of emptiness that I have been having lately. How do I get used to routine? And more importantly, how do I give meaning to it?
