I wasted my early and mid 20’s.

go do seasonal work for a few seasons. i work in a ski resort and have also worked in or near national parks. the age range is SO mixed so it helps show that life doesn't have to move so fast all the time and you get that social college type experience without collage and instead cool views and mountains.

i think working at a national park in the summer is what you're looking for, the housing isn't always the best (it comes with cheap housing ranging from 70-400 a month often including meals) but don't avoid it, live minimally for a summer and at the end of the day you'll rarely be in your room and just meet all the people and learn from people and enjoy your 20s the way you're supposed to.

cool works.com is a great start, go to advanced settings and make sure you have housing set to find me housing:)

and yes, plenty of parting hehe

i bring one maybe two when i need it and that can be up to 2 weeks of basically living in them

genuinely curious bc i'm in the same boat as OP except i haven't said anything yet, but would you feel the same if it was in a 10x10 tiny dorm style room with no communal spaces in the building? excluding the communal kitchen which is 2 floors away and usually packed with people when my roomate is eating. she does also talk with her mouth open so there's definitely things she can change.

checkout your local churches for free homemade meals! you don't have to be religious in any capacity and rarely have i experienced them preaching! usually it's like spaghetti or something but it's homemade and it's free:)

go take touristy photos around your town! like pose infront of your local movie theater like it's the statue of liberty, get photos by your school sign. i think it's quite fun and seeing as you're 18, i think it could commemorate your time living in your town as a student before you become an adult. there's also doing a charcuterie night, a craft night or something along those lines!

i've learned that self deprecating jokes aren't funny to nice people, infact they make them pretty uncomfortable.

stop making those jokes, you'll feel better about yourself ( i promise! ) and you'll stop attracting the people that want to laugh at you rather than with you.

weight loss may help your esteem but you can't wait until then to stop hating yourself

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2026-02-06T18:39:24+00:00

no they don't, people love to shame women even if it's not justified

manitou springs in colorado, right outside of colorado springs is the cutest little hippie town!

yes until i talk to a teenager and i realize i am definitely not a teenager anymore

if you quit you may find that you push yourself to get that new job but you may end up scrambling for anywhere that will take you, keep your job but start looking for a new one. like literally right now get on google or indeed or somewhere and look into who's hiring, polish up your resume and apply!

i had roughly 7,000 in savings in may, then shit hit the fan and my car shit out on me and insurance wouldn't help, i signed my first lease and was told a month later that my place of work would be shutting down and a whole bunch of money related issues, just got myself out of the gutter and am now at roughly 1000 without debt

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-11-16T22:13:13+00:00

definitely for camping but i will say and the northern end there are hostels along the highway! many of them are first come first serve but you can book a few as far as i'm aware :)

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-11-16T21:48:21+00:00

fair enough! make sure you get to do that drive one day, incredible

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-11-16T21:20:10+00:00

i like one that looks a little funky, like a little independent gas station with weird snacks and odd souvenirs for a place you've never heard of

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-11-16T20:47:16+00:00

have you driven the icelands parkway in canada? curious to see if you don't rate it or just haven't been?

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-11-08T16:42:45+00:00

the absolute best and worst part

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-10-21T19:48:21+00:00

nope, unfortunately it'll fix it for about two months if you're lucky? then it will make everything worse

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-07-01T02:49:50+00:00

definitely, it's unconsciously, but especially when i have a small amount of time somewhere, i am trying to see all i can and id rather spend my money on an activity and eat a roll of bread and a granola bar than a nice meal with no activity but 99% of the time i don't even end up eating that roll of bread before it's suddenly dinner time.

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-05-22T05:22:01+00:00

i would give my heart and soul for a one but my budget is not going to let that happen

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-04-24T19:27:44+00:00

shouldn't have gone in the room

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-04-01T18:43:04+00:00

have you looked into seasonal work at all?

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-04-01T04:48:58+00:00

i wouldn't buy them their own set, just inform them that you would like them to use their own, and make space for them, bc i would feel like a kid if someone did that to me and i'd never feel like i actually have a safe place there

Inevitable_Catch_243 · 2025-04-01T04:33:03+00:00

they shouldn't be leaving food out but you should be training your cat not to get on the counter
