I need some advice, I'm 24, and my life is stuck in a rut right now. Everyday I get up, go to work, come home, watch tv and surf the internet until it's time to go to sleep. My life has turned into that old Bill Murray movie groundhogs day.
I'm 24, and after I graduated from university 2 years ago, I've fallen out of touch with alot of friends who went into different faculties, who have their own careers, some have moved away. Since I started work about a year ago, I was in an very demanding professional program which killed any remnants of my personal life by requiring me to spend pretty much all my evenings and weekends studying. Recently I finished the program, and I have no idea what to do with my free time. On top of that, I have a friend who fell on some very hard times awhile back, and I helped him through it. He's probably the one person I actually hang around with, but in a way it's bad because I think that might have lead to the decay of other friendships over time.
I left my old job about a month back, where I was actually pretty close with everyone I worked with since we all started together and went through the program together. I'm at a new job where it's great, but i don't have the same level of closeness with everyone. It's not to say I don't get along with my co-workers, but they're work friends and nothing more.
What can I do to get myself out of this funk? Of course I go to social functions whenever possible, but I'm usually the quietest one in the room and more or less a fly on the wall.
