"Doing nothing doesn’t get boring for everyone. And it’s my time not yours so who’s to say what a waste is?"
You didn't do nothing for 3 years. You enjoyed your time, and you did things, so no, you did not waste it.
Otherwise I very strongly agree with, that you just should do, what you really want and not what others want.
After I decided to leave university, I planned a bike trip from germany to portugal. I wanted to do this. And I did it.
But then, along the way, on the border to spain, at a nice place I stayed for a while ... I decided I had enough. Or I realized, that I had wanted this for a while already.
It was fun, but "accomplishing" my trip would have only meaning for my travel blog and the expectations of other people - but not for me.
I enjoyed the trip very much, but did not felt like moving further and spend the whole winter in the south. So screw other peoples expecations, I am doing what I want, so I flew back home.
