New start, new year, new life

So I figured after watching some of the Quarterlife series I would fit right in here. I'm 22 and finally finished what I've worked for for the past 17 years of my life and finished my degree...and now am completely lost. When did I get so busy in the moment that I didn't think ahead? I have always been that person that knew EXACTLY where she was going in life, the next steps were just sitting there waiting for me to step on them to get to my goals...now I don't know where the next step is.

My friends are either still caught in that college age group or they are in the engaged, married have kids age group. Which obviously means I fit neither of those two since I'm done college, and am single and not dating someone just for the fact of saying I'm "with" them. It's never been my thing and never will be. So where does that put me? No full time job yet, no significant other to hang on to. Just kinda waiting for the currents of life to take me where I'm suppose to be. While it's scary as shit, It's' something I've never experienced before so it's okay...i guess...

The best thing I like about this is no one knows I'm on here, so I don't have to worry about insulting anyones feelings or worrying about the gossip that may spread, plus I can be totally honest without everyone wondering and peeping in.

Just kind of in that isolated area between adulthood and college kid i suppose, it'll pass...I think.

Ahhh yes... welcome to the club just like J said ^_^ We're all like that around here so you won't have to feel so alone :) We also get lots of help from the more experienced members of life also (ie. Jackie, Iris, Tobi) Post around the forums and you'll get a chance to meet everyone ^_^ Now is the time to experiment, do what you wish, everything you've wanted to try! Don't be afraid to not know what's going to happen next!

Welcome to the not-knowing-what's-going-on-in-life club, I've been a member for 3 years now, stuck in the "isolated area" for 1 1/2 of them.
