This happens to a lot of ppl right? I'm going to be 22 this year, not finished w/college, I have not looked into internships, my bf and I have conflicting futures but will work it out, and I'm almost always broke after bills. All of that being said, I'm not getting any younger and my innocent and carefree days are counted.
How did you get through this miserable age?

If you think this is a bad age wait til you hit 30. Oh this is a woman's I don't know what age. You are then worse than a teen. You get through that day as any other, one day at a time. Tomorrow will come and go but there is always tomorrow. You need to be honest to yourself as to what you want. Then head for your goal. You need to look at this as a learning experience instead of misery. Learn from it and proceed on.

I was depressed and I slept alot. LOL I know thats not what you are looking for, but I do have some advice if you want hear it.
1. Don't drop out of school. Just get the degree, it doesn't matter what it is in. Having a degree puts you in the "degree club" and more doors will be open for you. Trust me, if don't have a degree, you will be treated like crap in every job you get.
2. As soon as you can swing it, buy a small cheap house in a halfway decent neighborhood. Don't worry that it isn't your dream house, you don't have to live there the rest of your life. Make a house payment every 2 weeks instead of once a month. You will be amazed how fast the equity builds.
3. You don't have to get married or have kids until YOU are ready, if ever. Ignore those who pressure you to do these things. Divorce and kids are what keep people poor.
4. Screw the social BS. Getting rich will keep you interested and occupied. If you blow all your money on partying now, you will kick yourself later. Party your @ss off when you retire at 40.

It's the time you should be learning what you want to do, most people will change careers several times, don't put so much pressure on yourself to figure it out. Enjoy what you have now, learn, explore, take some risks.
I say that reflecting on what I should have done, I spent a portion of my mid-twenties fat neurotic and depressed. I had the issue of being gay in a small town 20 years ago to deal with, but it was my fault that I was depressed. I still had good times, but some bad ones too. BTW- I'm happy now.
Some things that might help if you are bumming a bit. Help someone who needs it with your time. You'll both feel better.
Meditate - it feels great and it's easy.

Their comes a time when we all wake up and smell the roses ! Right ? These times were hard ! Going back to childhood dreams, and frindships would have helped, if I only could have seen that then. What do you see ? If you like what your getting keep doing what your doing ! If not, change is good ! Different for awhile, then ackward like learning to ride a bike. You never forgot you just quit tyring to be you. Being like others is not the status , your looking for. Your looking for the real you ?
