What To Do, What To Do, In Chi-City Feelin' Blue.

Well I started a new job recently and it's 2nd shift 2:30-11:00 and I'm getting used to working my timing/life out, but so far my weeks are bland and my weekends aren't too much better.

During the week: Wake Up- School-Work-Come Home, Sleep, Repeat x5
On The Weekend: Saturday: Go To Eat-Go To Movie-Go To Race.
Sunday: Laze Around The House

For some reason it seems like I'm missing out on something. Like I'm supposed to be doing something different at this age. I'm under the impression that I'm supposed to have tons of chicks on speed-dial, going to wild parties, and getting drunk/high on the weekends. At least that's what everybody keeps telling me.

Any takes on if my weekly scheduled seems right? and if not WTF I can do to alter it so I'm not so dead on the inside?

I'm too young to go to the bars.

I've never been high before, and i don't think i want to try it since i just started a new job.

And what the hell is wrong with you people getting married < 25?

On a serious note, Maybe I need a girlfriend or some new friends.

And why aren't you allowed out of the house Mr 3rd Gen? You on wife/house arrest?

I would assume you get some vacation time or PTO with this new job, so do what you have to do during the week and then take some crazy vacations. Get a group of guys and hit Vegas. Go to spring break in florida. Being somewhat of a shut in during the week will allow you to save more $$$ for these adventures. You are young, but don't think the actions you take now don't affect you later; being responsible now will give you a jump start.
