...I've applied for other jobs and am going to back to college to study languages and phiosophy but can't help but feel guilty for just sitting around doing what I want in the mean time. Should I feel guilty or not? Please help my me settle more grey matter!

As long as you're not being a lazy bum, it shouldn't matter. I presume because you naturally feel the need to be useful, you feel that way. Heed it as a safeguard and keep on trying to make the best out of your life. You can't change certain circumstances but you can darn well make the most of the cards you're dealt.

Who pays your bills and college costs? If not you...you'd better feel guilty for making yourself a burden on someone else when you're able to help out by earning some money. Another question...just what sort of job you planning on getting after college with a degree in philosophy? As far as I can tell...all the coffee shops are already full of useless unemployed people with degrees they can't possibly use.

Do you want to feel guilty? If you don't, then it's hardly worth the trouble.
You would not want to go back, but would they take you back, or are there hard feelings?
Did you give any notice? Almost any company appreciates some time to look for a replacement, although it's hard on the employee that is leaving. 2 weeks is sufficient for most jobs.
Good luck to you.

You obviously had your reasons for walking out of the job which I think should be respected. There is not point feeling guilty about it. Its good that you have a plan I think you should relax, recharge and regroup for the challenges ahead. Of course if you burnt your bridges in walking out of your job just out of angry make amends { do not necessary mean you have to go back just apologise to person (s) concerned} but if your walking out was on principle hey! stick to your guns and hooray to you :).

Obviously your employer upset you and made impossible for you to continue working in that environment. How long had you worked there? If you hadn't been employed for long don't worry about it, but if you had several years under your belt you should have found a job first or tried to solve the issue you had with another member of staff.
Have you heared the phrase biting off your nose to spite your face?

No need to feel guilty, but next time, think before walking out of your work place. You might have done on an impulse, which should not be repeated.
cheer up!

If you are bored at home, why not do some volunteer work?
For example, I know that primary schools are always crying out for people to read with the children (although you do need to be Police checked to do this)
Anything else you can offer to voluntary organisations? It also helps to hide any gaps in your CV! And you can probably fit in voluntary work with what you are doing at college!
Good luck in the future.

Walking off a job is just wrong. You should've given a 2 week notice!! This would show you have a good work ethic. leaving a job without notice is terrible!

Only feel guilty if you are claiming benefits. Otherwise good for you, more people should have the balls to do what they want..

Why do you feel guilty?? Take a rest, and keep applying.
