Random thoughts #10_Purposeless

I figured I'm not the kind of person who sets long term goals. My goals are short term and very much attainable. Call me boring but a lot of my goals revolve around studying. You know, like how people have "straight A's" as a goal. I guess all goals gravitate toward "improvement" or at least that's how it's ought to be. I also seek for improvement but sometimes I get confused whether what I want is improvement or just avoiding feeling purposeless.
There is always that phrase of one's life when they are not sure where to go, what to do and who to be with. That is exactly my life right now. I have been stuck with this phrase for quite a while. It is not a very pleasant experience if you're wondering.
I didn't feel purposeless when I was in high school, especially when I was in Vietnam. Probably then school was such a big deal. Everything in my life revolves around going to school and do a decent job at studying. That was probably why my goals are tend to short term. Because I focus on just school. I couldn't see anything beyond it. Society stresses so much on doing well at school to the point that I didn't know what I wanted to do.
Since studying abroad and now in college, I was opened to more options. That pushed me to get out of my comfort zone. But I don't know. I don't know what else should I do other than being academically successful. I figured I don't really have a life purpose. You know the almost unattainable goal that you set for your life.
This sense of purposeless feels as if I'm falling out a running train.
