WTF am I doing with my life?

In our 20's, atleast once all of us have questioned WTF am I doing with my life? Why am I taking this college course or why am I at this job which I hate with all my life? This is true more so of the people who take the courage to go against convention and choose to take the road less travelled. Ryan Holiday wrote an article "SHould I drop out of college". I chose not to go to college. I am not really questioning my decision but I am question how I could have prepared myself better for this. I should have made a plan on how I was going to utilise my time and what are the things are I would like to achieve. How should I motivate myself when no one is holding myself accountable? Since I have fumbled around for the last 3 years, I think better late than never to answer these questions.

1.   Am I dropping out of school because I have something better? Or is it because I      can’t cut it in school?
      Dropping out because not necessarily I can't cut it in school. I just never like the way things were taught         by the schools or universities. But also I don't have something better.

2.    What am I going to be doing outside of school that I couldn’t do inside?
         Freedom of time. Work on projects I like without the incumberance of thinking about other things.                Learn exactly those things that I want. 

3.    Have you fully taken advantage of the unique opportunities that are offered to        students? 
      I didnt go to college so I haven't exactly taken advantages of being a student. I feel this is a huge area I         have missed out on.

4.   What are your plans for continuing your education
       Every month I will take up a new skill and do one big project to apply that skill
        Read 4 books a month.

Update: I have not been able to read those many books but I am taking the CS50 course on edx and teaching myself to
