<p>Basically my life has turned into nothing. I took this semester off, I've been home for two weeks and I've never felt so stupid in my entire life. </p>
<p>I have nothing to do, nowhere to go, and I feel so alone. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I guess you live and learn. I just wish that I didn't always have to make huge mistakes in order to learn from them. </p>
<p>I could find a job, but I don't even see the point. I just want to go back to school. I don't even know what to do with myself when I'm not studying or stressing out over school. All my friends are in school and I just feel like such a loser right now. My counselor was right. He kept telling me that coming home wasn't going to solve my problems and that I'd be just as miserable, if not more at home than I was at school. No one could've convinced me to stay...I'm really stubborn once I get my mind set on something. :(</p>
<p>Now that the damage is done, is there ANY good that can come out of this semester off? What can I do to really just turn this around and make the best out of it? I don't want to sit and do nothing until Spring. I want to be productive. All this free time is making me crazy. Just help me!!!</p>
<p>This really needed another thread? The best advice that anyone has ever given is to take responsibility for your actions and don’t shy away from it. You didn’t listen the first time you asked if us if you should stay in school, and then you left, and now you’re even more miserable. Just go away.</p>
<p>I think getting a job is the best way to be productive in your current position. You’ve obviously got to make the best out of a bad situation that you’ve found yourself in. If I were in your position I’d work as much as I could (as there doesn’t seem to be a lot else going on). Even if you can’t think of something you want to spend it on now, you will.</p>
<p>You again? We told you to stay in school and you didn’t listen. Why do you still keep coming back for more advice if you aren’t going to listen to anybody?</p>
<p>Just plan to go back to school next semester. I taking a gap semester right now and will be starting back in the Spring. The first month I felt like a bomb but then I started hitting up the gym and running errands for friends of my mom. <em>shrugs</em> I have also taken up interests which I wouldn’t have normally done if I were in college right now. Just find something to do with yourself and plan for your return to school. Don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself.</p>
