Ever felt like you were dealt a good hand at life but just don't know how to play the game? I suppose it's a normal feeling for someone my age. I just don't want to have a mediocre life that I've simply "settled" on. I'm always told I've got the tools, but I don't know how to use them. It's just as bad as having nothing. I barely have motivation for anything anymore and get it just leads to more frustration. I'm not bitter yet, but I feel if I'm stuck in this rut any longer, I will be. I know I could be so much more, but what am I missing? I'm sorry if I'm being too vague, but I just can't find any other way to say this at the moment.

I can't offer any advice, but I can tell you that I understand...Which I suppose is why I can't offer any advice 
If you feel like you have the tools to be successful(?) in whatever field your interested in, then decide what you're really interested in doing and just go for it. Work from the bottom up or get a head start with whatever contacts you have in the industry, work hard and always be prepared for opportunity. Luck = Planning + opportunity, or something.
And if you don't really know what you want to do or are questioning stuff, then go out and explore the world. You could do it physically, like travel and shit, or just take lots of college courses, apply for different jobs in different fields, read books on whatever subjects you're interested in etc. Then go for what you want, and keep working hard at it if you're successful and getting satisfaction from your work.
Hope my tired 2am advice is of some service.

You will die soon, have as much fun as you can until then, as long as it's not at other peoples expense.

wrong, life is a sandwhich. you eat it with as many different meats as you can. that's the secret to life, forgetting the morals and going for what pleases you....
When you think about, this entire existence is a fluke ... a statisical anamoly. Our continued existence is a constant 'saving throw' die roll against mass extinction.
In essence, we are just moss on a big boulder floating somewhere in space. You time as a piece of lichen is minute. In 50 years after your death, no one will even remember your name.
When you think like this .. .asking little Suzy out to dinner, investing 50k on a new business venture, jumping out of an airplane or moving out of you parents basement is not such a big deal anymore.
