Nobody likes you when you're 23.

Broke, unemployed, single, and another year older without a single God damn thing to show for it (besides a useless STEM degree I was told would be worth something). Moved home after graduating to look for work and it's a lot harder than I thought.
PLUS MY FUCKING SPORES AREN'T GERMINATING ON AGAR OR GRAINS, FUCK
I guess when I wake up I'm going to do the same old. I have a meeting with a job counselor at 10:00. I'll pop some Addy, call around asking about jobs, put in a few applications for some minimum wage work to at least get some money in my pocket, and maybe see if I can swing a liter of cheap gin and play some Battlefield.
Fuck - my loans are coming due soon, I'm still paying off a DUI I got last year ($400 left), and it's been so long since I've been in my hometown that I don't know anyone. Gonna head back to where I went to school for the weekend to blow off some steam and hopefully get some molly and see some friends, but God damn, life is not going how I imagined it would be after graduating high school four years ago. If only I realized that college was a time I should be more worried about studying and working hard instead of partying and chasing tail. I got all the time in the world for that now, but no money for such activities. Weak.
Sorry for my rant.

Life is never how we imagine it. That is why we establish goals and make plans. Hang in there. You're only 23. You'll be 10 years older before you know it. So make plans and get to work now.

I turned 30 this year. I feel like I was 23 last week.

FUCK is right bro. Don't waste your time on a minimum wage job. Move to a city with opportunity. Do construction work until you figure out what you want, as it will pay infinitely better than a minimum wage job.

As someone who lives almost in the city, this is not where you want to be working a minimum wage job at unless its something with tips. More ass holes, more of a rush means stricter bosses. Just not the place to be depressed and lazy.
-------------------- In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. [Carl Sagan, 1987 CSICOP keynote address]

What you're looking for in life is more like a state of mind than a job or memories. Just sayin'. I mean I would think my life is totally shot if I didn't realise what I was looking for was just me, I guess it's spiritual realization or enlightenment to see this... it feels fucking great, like, it's what we're all after.
After that you just don't care about the system. You use it and abuse it and if it doesn't work so what, you're where you want to be.
We're all just looking for our Self, God.
You're doing fine.
By the way my brother is 32 and he still gets really embarrassed about masturbating, like an adolescent would. It really hurts me to see it, but yeah there you go. We don't know if he's intellectually handicapped or not but he has been a bit psychotic.
Take a look around. Really. There's a lot of really average intelligence, average personality people with fuck all really and they don't really care either, because no one really cares. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Yes, you're still quite young. Hang in there and keep trying. Eventually you'll find success.

I found a job this week after months of searching 12.50 a hour (not great) and 40 hours a week (not bad). All I can say is keep trying eventually you will find a job. Don't give up man.

I was young and dumb and now not only is it hurting me looking for a job, but I can't even fall back on the Armed Forces.

Dude, fuck the military. There's already enough government tit suckers out there. Pick yourself off the floor and do something with your life. Your choice. Simple as that.

Anything is attainable! You have to work your ass off though guys. Nobody likes it, but if you want a good life, it requires work.
