I quoted the wrong thing, but fixed it now. I meant what's wrong regarding life being shit?

Just the usual stuff, I guess; utter lack of hope, discontentment, loneliness. Just found out my best mate is leaving the house next year to live at home (although she is staying at uni), and she's pretty much my only lifeline in this place at the moment, so that's going to be shit. I'd like to just give uni up, but I know it's probably not worth it when I'm doing so well with my essays and stuff.
Also, Bowie's death has kind of knocked me for six. Never been even remotely this affected by a celebrity's death before.

Did you do it without any money or job opportunities? mmm If so, then I guess that is pretty damn inspirational.Been thinking about my old band a lot recently, got back in touch with them properly just before the new year. Part of me wants to just **** off university and go and play with them again, even though they make no money and I'd have no home there or any ways of acquiring the money to survive. I dunno, I'm keeping that pipe dream alive, even though I know it probably isn't feasible.
A few thousand pounds can get you a long way in certain places. You could go to Asia, Africa, South America or even Eastern Europe.
Take a TEFL course and get a job as an English teacher in ****ing Korea. Work as a bartender in Zanzibar. Become a professional polo-player in Argentina.

How much longer is your uni going to take?

It's so expensive there, and jobs are somewhat scarce.
No, though I highly doubt you have no money and no job opportunities. You could always move in with your parents, get a shit job at a call centre and save the money you make there for like, 6 months. Then embark on some adventure.A few thousand pounds can get you a long way in certain places. You could go to Asia, Africa, South America or even Eastern Europe.

Really though I should just get this Film degree and see where that can take me, things've just been getting to me recently. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be fine in the long run, and things could be worse — just after I left Kendal, everyone I knew there got really heavily into meth and heroin. So at least I'm not doing that. awehuhs

I don't know if you'd be able to live with your parents for free and that though. Might have to alter your spending habits for the time you'll be living there. If it's not financially realistic, might as well get a job in Leeds and do the same thing. Just save up for a while.
I know an American guy who I met in a hostel in Budapest. He saved up for a year and a half, got about 10k US dollars and just traveled through Europe, East-Asia and the Middle-East for a year and a half. Changed his life. Now he's living in Berlin and that.
When you're in a rut like that, the best thing you can do is just to try out a change of scenery. No matter how it works out you'll learn a lot of valuable life-lessons and that.
