Camus and Absurdity of Life?

Hello, I had some questions on Camus and the absurd. From what I can ascertain, Camus talks of how it is absurd for us to assign meaning to life as it is meaningless. So, I understand the philosophical problem here is suicide.

I’ve been trying to figure out recently the meaning to life, and then I remembered it was absurd to do that. However as a recent college graduate, looking down the barrel at the rest of my life, is it absurd to think it’s just 60-70 years of just the same thing everyday? A job everyday, a few weeks of vacation every year, a good workout, finding the right girl, maybe a family, going out, making friends, eating good food, boom you’re dead.

Is life really so uncircumstantial? I just find it so dreary, and have been searching for what is that further step that I can do in my life to actually make something of myself. I always think that I should constantly learn, read, but then I get depressed thinking that knowledge will go unused, and I’ll just be a history/philosophy buff with nowhere to divert that discussion. However, then I get depressed thinking that there really is no point to doing anything at all. What is the point of life? What is this meaning? I’m just frustrated and not finding answers to something that seems so boring from an outer point.

You're missing the point: that there is none. Yes, life is meaningless; there is no point to it all. That's what makes it absurd, trying to find or assign meaning in a meaningless life. But one must face the absurdity and stare right back into the void of nothingness. 

"One must imagine Sisyphus happy"

Life is very much like Sisyphus rolling a boulder up a hill over and over again; a mundane repetitive process day by day by day. But Camus pictures him happy despite the prolonged torture. He imagines Sisyphus to revel in the fate he has been subjected to; he imagines Sisyphus to embrace his despair, anguish and absurdity in spite of its inherent meaninglessness. Like Sisyphus one must learn to embrace the absurdity of their condition.

If you still struggle to embrace it and see life as devoid of all meaning, look to Nietzsche and his Will To Power. Imagine your life as an eternally recurring world, a loop played endlessly. It too would be devoid of all meaning and serving no higher purpose. Nietzsche challenges us to live our lives as though it were like this, as if every moment were perpetual and repeated over and over again. We must affirm each moment as if it were this way; as if it were to repeat itself over and over again. In doing so, we become at odds with values like servility and acceptance and undertake strength, self-assertion and self-creation. If you lived through each moment over and over again, would you want to retain the same old mundane life or would you rather manifest the highest goals you never even knew you had?
