I have noticed that since i graduated in 04, there has been less and less things to do.....Now that I am turning 20, I feel like i have 1 more year left before things begin to pick up......It's like my friends never hang out anymore, there are rarely any parties, and im not quite old enough to go to the bar.....Does life pick back up when you turn 21?

 

Um yeah...you need to go to college, get a job and make new friends. The same thing probably would have happened to me if I hadn't. My friends back home suck.

 

im 20 yrs old... i work and go to school 70+hours of each week... i still hang out with my best friends :dunno: then again, we're not really the lets go party type we all have full time jobs and school, so when we can, we just hang out h:

 

I am going back in the fall......I've worked since I was 15.....I know you're right on making new friends, it seems that all of my "good" friends are turning into losers, and i guess im just tired of being associated with them. I can't wait til i get outta here, I wish i woulda left 2 years ago

 

I asked myself the same questions when I turned 8. It seemed like life was all down hill from there. But I've had tons of fun since.

 

I hope you meant 18

I guess it's all just a life lesson.....Everyone changes, but I'll feel bad if I just leave my friends hangin.....It just hurts me to see them not change at all.

 

Actually no, I meant 8. By that age we had moved 4 times because my father was in the Navy, that year while I was 7 he died in a motorcycle accident.

My mom had just given birth to my sister in June, he died in October, I turned 8 in November. It was a long time ago, and I remember it pretty well. It was hard, I really didn't know how life could get any better. I've had to leave friends behind when we moved, and struggle to make new ones. Sometimes you just have to zone out life for a few weeks and run on auto pilot while your head sorts things out.

Live and learn. Only you can let you get down. Best I can offer is to roll with it and learn, things will improve.

 

Sorry to hear all that.....I guess you learn from experience

 

im only 21 but in my experience bars are a horrible place to make new good friends. ive met more people in the last year that ive opened up by just saying hi to randoms everywehre i go. so i guess im just sayin dont think just cuz u go to the bar its gonna make things pick up and u will meet all kinds of new friends. try doin that everywhere. ud be surprised how many people will talk if your just nice, and ud be surprised how many girls will enjoy a conversation with u out of the blue. hey it works for me....

 

how u doin :naughty:
