are we growing up or just going down?

It seems that good quality friends are becoming harder to find. Is it just me? Maybe I expect too much of my friends. I don't really have a best friend right now. I always used to, now, I feel kind of like I'm missing something. My real best friend or who was my real best friend just abandoned me. I dont know what the deal is...I didn't do anything wrong. I've tried to be the better person and keep the friendship up by calling or w/e but it doesn't work. I really should change the name of my blog to the rantings of a 20-something with shitty friends. What I don't understand is why ppl are the way that they are...it's like hey I want to be a loser? When the question, what do you want to be when you grow up comes about, you never hear anyone say, a loser. Yet, so many people go that route. They can't find it in themselves to do something as simple as finishing high school or going to college. YES, i said simple. I have finished high school and it was rather simple. You have to be at least a junior to drop out and then you're almost done any way...why stop there but people do...i dont get it. With college, its a little harder but its not like I'm saying goto harvard. Community college is college. ANYONE can get in, even...ROCKS or something. If you don't feel up to the challenge of transferring to a larger school like a university to pursue a bachelors, masters, or doctrate...just get your associates or something. SOMETHING...don't just settle. why in the world would anyone want to settle for a crappy retail job. why would you set yourself up to struggle for the rest of your life. I would NEVER want to do that. Everyday I feel like skipping out on school and staying in bed b/c I never goto sleep on time and then I think...I don't want to work in retail for the rest of my life, I need to get a good job. That is a motivator enough for me. I can't stop thinking about this b/c I'm afraid that my "best friend" will become one of these ppl. She finished high school but only the higher beings, if there are any, know if she will make something of herself. She certainly doesnt know. Neither does my sister. She keeps making these claims that she is going to lose weight and join the air force but i have yet to see her try and make it happen. She doesnt work out on a regular basis and if she does she just half asses it. She doesnt eat right by any means and at this rate, me with my undecided major in college will be thru with my fifty billion yrs of school b4 anything even happens with that.
