What DO you want to do?

When I was 18 and just starting out my first year in college, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life or even what I wanted to major in, and that was okay. My feeling was, "How can we be expected to know what we want to do with the rest of our lives at 18 years old?" Most people seemed to agree with me. When I was asked what I wanted to do after college and would reply with, "I have no idea," people tended to reply with something along the lines of "Oh, that's okay, you've got four whole years to figure that out."

Well, 3 schools, 4 majors, and nearly 5 1/2 years later, I still haven't got a clue what I want to do with my life. I am in my last semester of college now and it has finally hit me that I can no longer get away with, "I have no idea."

A conversation that I often find myself having goes something like this:

Person: "So what's your major?"

Me: "Professional Media."

Person: "Oh well that sounds interesting. Do you want to be a reporter or what?"

Me: "Absolutely not. I don't want to do news."

Person: "Well, what DO you want to do?"

And to that, I have no answer. I can't exactly say, "I'm only 23, how can I be expected to know what I want to do with the rest of my life?" because I'm twentyfreakingthree and I should know what I want to do with the rest of my life.

It's easy to think of what I DON'T want to do, but when I try to think about what I DO want to do, all I can come up with is this:

I want to sleep.
I want to binge on Netflix whenever I please.
I want to crochet for hours on end.
I want to be able to afford endless travel and to not have to check the price tags at Sephora.

And that just about sums it up. Marrying rich would allow me to live the life I desire, but I can't really rely on that as my Plan A. Plus, marrying for money would require me to be a sociopath, which I unfortunately am not. 

So what career path should I be aiming for? I'm open to suggestions.
