Where did it all go

So i kinda realized today thats there only a couple months before my bday.....which means the year is almost half-way through...Where did all that time go????? Ive been so busy with work, and uni it seems to have slipped away and all the ideas and plans i had with it. It;s quite sad when i think about i had hoped for this year to be different to be new and exciting but alas it has not well not to me at least. I look around me and see all my mates having fun and enjoying life i wish i could join them but i don't seem to be able to it's like im stuck in a rut i really hoped to get out of it this year but if anything it's become worse. Perhaps i need to work less and look at myself but don't want my parents have to worry about me needing money they have better things to worry about then me. Like i said i hoped to change to get out of this rut but i don't think i can every time i try i seam to fall back into it and im getting sick of trying.
