Am I doing it right?

So you grow up, you have hopes and dreams, it's so easy to graduate high school, get your bachelors, and get a job and start living life.  But is that all? Is that all you really can do? Here I am, 22, graduated from school, living in a new city and supposedly "starting my life" and not only am I not satisfied, I feel like I am living in a cliche.  

Let's look at the facts:
1) I'm working in a position that is fast tracked to management in an expanding and thriving company that allows associates to move successfully and frequently.
2) Not only am I already bored in that position, I'm beginning to resent my boss because I think I work harder than her.  (work problems...cliche)
3) My week revolves around which nights I'm going to to out drinking and what happy hours I'm going to.
4) Instead of doing things I just sit at home and look at things I want to do.
5) I'm in the middle of a "friends with benefits" relationship with a guy I'm not even particularly fond of. (boy/sex problems...cliche)
6) I only talk to people from work.  And when we hang out we always, without fail, end up talking about work.

I just feel that if I continue on this way, I'm going to end up 27, sitting in a bar, mingling with people who also just got off work and literally do the same thing. every. day.

So here's my thing...yes...I understand that my life is where everyone expected me to go and where I know I'm supposed to end up.  But is this right? Am I really making the most of it?

Questions to ponder...
