I figure that since even my parents are starting to ask me if I'm okay, I had better at least let someone know what's going on.

1) I am 22 and I have nothing to show for my life. Sure, I have an Associates degree, but most people my age have at least been a part of a sports team that did really well and got quite a bit of local recognition. No, I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I just want to know that I've accomplished something of value.

2) I am running out of time. School starts somewhere around the 20th of next month. I haven't even registered for classes yet, because I have no free time, thanks to the next point.

3) I am working way too much. I know, at the beginning of the summer I said I was going to work for myself this summer. It is turning out to be a bit more than I could handle. I have 2 major projects going right now that I just can't seem to get anywhere with. Why? Next point...

4) People are getting on my nerves.

Would you want to do this other project? We can meet with you on blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. Thanks!

(I have yet to see the stuff I requested.)

5) Money sucks. Every problem in my life, including the ones above, are driven by "the almighty dollar".

6) I'm single and somewhat sick of it. Yes, I said it. So why don't I do anything about it? Please see items 1-5.

7) I'm tired and sore. 20 hour days + arthritis from a degenerative hand disability + arthritis from a back injury = lack of sleep + pain.
