I need someone to talk to other than my girlfriend. But I have no friends.
My life is so ing routine and predictable that I think it's slowly driving me insane. |

I'll probably be moving to the east coast next fall. I guess that will cure this itch that I have for at least a little bit.
It's worst when I'm here in the university library, around all these people who are near my age and some of them probably have similar interests and possibly could be friends under the right circumstances but I don't really know anyone since the class I started out with has already graduated. Half the time I'm in here I want to scream my head off and run around like a crazy man just for the sake of letting out this tension that has been building in me for years. But like the alcohol that I gulp down twice a week, doing that would only bring relief for a short time, and then I'd be known as the crazy guy who screamed his head off rather than just a normal nobody who sits in the library a few hours each day.
I don't look forward to the future. I see my life gradually getting more cloistered and boring as I get a full-time job after I leave school, maybe hanging out with some people from work but never really feeling free to open up to anyone, stupidly getting drunk on Tuesday and Saturday night as I wistfully meditate half-consciously on my feelings of having missed out on something, of having not gotten some memo that it seems most others did, of having not given all my options a fair shake. I don't plan on blaming my problems on anybody else. I've made my own bed here. |

It isn't too late though. As they say, better late than never. Just go do things that require you to step out of your comfort zone. I know that is easier said than done, as I have been in your exact emotional position pretty recently in fact. About 2 or 3 years ago I felt exactly the same way, except I wasn't in school or anything. Just felt like life was going nowhere and I was not happy with what I was doing. Or more so what I wasn't doing. Just get out and do things. It helps.
edit// The thing that has really renewed my outlook was getting away. Traveling even though it was only to Toronto. |

I would absolutely love to travel. Problem is I feel like I've already wasted far too much money on education and need to start saving for the future.
If I talk to a girl I've never met before, she'll probably assume I'm trying to flirt with her, right? |

Probably, but start off talking to guys. It is easier as you can find something you relate to with them easier. And you are guys. You can be crude and they won't flinch. I find myself more easily engaging people on the train in conversation now more than I ever would have. I would have thought you were crazy to suggest such an idea a few years ago.
And seriously, school is great and all, but it is for nothing if you don't travel. You will have your whole life to work and have a life of boring everyday working. Don't skip out on traveling for all that other stuff that will always be there. |

That's what one of my best high school teachers said to the class near the end of my senior year.
He was right. |
