There's other people that don't have a job and are in deep financial trouble. You should look into putting the money, which you don't seem to want, into a savings account or look into investing or give it to me. Quitting so abrutly without actually thinking what your plan after is incredily stupid, your sister is right bro. If you already have an "emergency fund", I'd say put the money into investments. Savings account doesn't make shit. My wife doesn't want me investing, but she thinks I'm a "daytrader" I don't mess with that shit. I just do mutual funds... that way I don't instantly lose all of my money if only one single stock dies. Yeah keep on working though and make your money work for you. | ||

I don't know how old you are, but from what I can see in the blog I'd guess maybe 18 with a few months work experience. As a guy about the same age, and with a couple more months full time experience I'd say keep going. Right now the money is good and if the company didn't need you or want you they'd fire you. Also you'll probably stop hating work with time, yes its repetitive and boring but it's money and if you're lucky you might like your coworkers enough to enjoy going to work just to see them. 5★ for the writing, but tbh you'd have got 5 if it was an empty blog with Curtis Mayfield and Cool and the Gang videos. | ||

Put in the effort for what's absolutely required, and then spend all the rest of your effort on what truely matters." Such as is life. Glgl~ Yeah... if your not spending enough of your effort on truly being...peaceful whenever you have the opportunity then you're going to find problems. You got to make sure you know what you truly love and feel as close to it as you can for a bit... then pick up the fight. | ||

1) Graduate college so that you can make decent money. All of your after-college life will depend upon this. If you fail to get a degree, you will make a shit wage, you will have no self-respect, and nobody in turn will respect you. You will constantly be tortured with thoughts about what you should or shouldn't be doing with yourself. You will be miserable because you'll have to settle for living in miserable places, dealing with money issues and so forth. It really doesn't matter what degree you decide to get. The important part is to pick something and stick with it. 2) Then, move to a city that fits your political and sexual orientation. Immediately involve yourself in a variety of activities that allow you to meet people. 3) Giving yourself a Social Context is the foremost key to general contentment. If you are idle and isolated, you will have bad thoughts. You will second guess the meaning of everything that you do. You will be paralyzed with indecision. This is why you miss the days when you were occupied hanging out with friends. This is why people shack up after college and raise families. Even if things go bad between you and your significant other, at least you are occupied in dealing with their bullshit. And that's better than the alternative. It may be hard to imagine, but all of the values you presently hold will be flipped upside down in time. The people that you think are cool, the people that are attractive, will--almost without exception--no longer be cool and attractive 10-15 years down the line. | ||
