I feel like I am missing out on life.

I am only 19 years old but there is nothing going on in my life besides work and I feel like I am missing out on it. There exist two things in my life, working and waiting to work again.

How should I do it for at least 40 years if already feel that way? I am just kinda clueless about what to do.
