Is what I'm doing right?

I'm a 17 year old guy with no idea if anything I do is right.  I live each day exactly the same way, talk to the same people, eat the same food, follow the same schedule, and I still feel empty. I never do anything that is worth a memory and I feel like I just waste all my time in my life. So why do I deserve to live this life if I didn't attempt to live to it's potential? Is what I'm doing now the right thing?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being in a routine. Many of us do it and it happens to a large majority of the population. Though it does sound like you want to do something different, and if this is true, then the power is in your hands. You can change your life and do things differently just by stepping outside of your comfort zone and doing something new and different. If you feel that you are struggling with depression, please reach out for help to your parents or another trusted adult(as bobdylan1958 said). That is not something you want to take on alone. If you are only looking for ways to switch up a routine, look for things to join in on. Join a sports team, a club, do volunteer work, talk to a classmate that you haven't talked to before and get to know them. There are so many things you can do and much of it can be very fulfilling, giving you a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. Hope it all goes well for you. Take care.
