I’m an almost 18 year old guy and I’m going to graduate high school soon. My marks aren’t good enough to go to university and I have no job and no money, so I’m going to take the year off to work and raise my marks online. The problem with doing this is that I won’t have anything to do. I’m a loner by nature and highly introverted, so I don’t really have any friends. I’ve been trying to make some though. I met this one girl last year and I guess we’re friends, but we don’t hang out that often. I told her that we should talk and hang out more. I guess I could talk to her more over the year, but I can’t really see her all the time.
I’ve thought about doing an online blog like livejournal or something like that. I’ve been told I’m a very good writer and I have a lot of things to say. I would use it mainly for writing about certain topics and writing my opinion on things. Just general topics that float in my head everyday that never get out because I don’t talk to anybody. I might see if I could join a club or something just to get a little more social. I don’t really know though.
What do you think?
The reason I ask is because I have been trying to get over depression for a year now. I tend to isolate myself from people a lot. When I graduate, I will have way too much free time and I might sink deeper into depression. So I need help.
Cris, I honestly don’t believe anything you say. You don’t know that I’m not going to go to school. You just assume. You know absolutely nothing about what I’m going to do. I can’t handle university right now, so I’m not going. All I’m asking is for advice on how to handle my time.
