So I graduated university 2 years ago and something started happening... everyone I went to school with started going their separate ways. Alot of them are in living in different places or at different places in their lives, like getting married. Meanwhile, I'm here on my own. If I scrolled through my cell right now to find someone to hang out with, I could probably find 2 people. I'm single and just plain hating it. It gets pretty depressing to just go to work and come home. Even if I want to go on vacation and get away from it, who would I go with? Lately I've been thinking I should go on one of those contiki tours, but even then it might be a little weird for me to go by myself. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel?
1) If you don't have a close relationship with your family, get on that. They can be the best friends you will have. I know many will say "I can't stand my parents! No way!" But your dad or mom when you were 17 and now are probably vastly different people. Get to know them. If you have siblings, get to know them as well.
2) Move to a real city. If I understand, the OP is in Edmonton. Come on, man. Nobody who has a semblance of a life can be happy in Edmonton. Get out of there. And forget the whole "There's an oil boom!" Anything less than riches beyond your wildest dreams isn't worth it to live in a city that crappy.
I'm here in Sydney, Australia and thats exactly how I feel. I'm in my final semester and I'm absolutely not looking forward to the next year. I find some solace in knowing that someone from around the world is feeling the same thing.
so fill your life with money then die? good plan
I'm from a big city, and what I've observed is most adults have little to no friends (aside from their workplace). They merely wake up, attend work by themselves, and go home by themselves. Most of their vacation is with their families. Is this to be expected? Nothing wrong with that of course.
There's only one thing to enjoy after college, and that's money. Try to fill your life with as much as it as you can, because life after college is very empty, you're right.
