Nature has made you a buffoon. Your inability to discern well from what you’ve learnt so far in life has turned you into a complete conformist. You are sunken in ‘prudence’ and are at the mercy of your life. Notwithstanding the brutality of your path, notwithstanding the hackneyed journey, your belief in certitude of your success keeps you moving. You have genuine enthusiasm for the commonplace. You are averse to the precarious mode of life.
To escape the tedium, you listen to the most banal music, you take pleasure in participating in social gatherings, you watch popular movies and pass them off as ‘Awesome’ or ‘boring’. No in-between. Albeit all the odds, you go to college everyday. You are very sorted out. You have sincere belief in their pedagogy. You are a god-fearing person, possibly pious too. You are morally upright and quite scrupulous. You are bonded by the social values. The ‘ordered happiness’ it offers. You lack the excitement of the unforeseen. You lack the ‘kink’ in your nature. You lack having strong opinions, your opinions are often borrowed, your actions mannered. You are imperceptible to the finer emotions in life. You aren’t too ponderous. You aren’t frivolous. You may be flippant but you aren’t too amusing. You are after the measured success life has to offer, proportionate to your well-meaning efforts. You sacrifice your beliefs for the fulfillment of society. You are the product of your environment. There is nothing inscrutable about you. There is nothing ‘amiss’. There is hardly anything in you, out of ordinary.
Is there any meaning to your existence?

Well-worded and good observations.
Since you start with "Nature has made you a buffoon", are you kinda weighing more on the nature side of the 'nature vs nurture' debate?
In any case, there is a poem that resonates with these views:http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15549
