new place...same confusion

A little update on my life. I've moved into a new apartment with Allen whom I worked with at the distillery last year. He's a pretty cool guy and so far things are good. It's a pretty good and inexpensive living situation which will be beneficial for me this summer. However, I still am overcoming the same obstacles I have been since officially receiving my diploma in December. I'm stuck working for below median income levels. I have no insurance to speak of and my tauras officially is going to shit very quickly. Along with that, my friendships have wained considerably. I don't feel the same connection I had with them for most of high school, during college, and then after. I believe they've changed and so have I. I don't have the same priorities I once did. While Allen has droves of friends here every day, besides Charlie helping me move my box spring I haven't had a single friend or parent come over to see my new digs. The real purpose of my writing today is perhaps a final declaration for my imminent future. I believe that beyond working for the USPS or the TFD, my only option at this point is to go into the Marines. I've not said much to anyone really, except a few months ago when I sincerely thought I was going for sure. Now, it's looking all but inevitable. I'm working for 8.50 an hour now 6 days a week at a florist. However, my student loans are going in repayment again and there's absolutely no way I can pay for them making what I am now. Plus, there's the added problem of having no insurance or putting any money away for retirement. I'm kind of stuck in a bind. Maybe this is a solution for many problems. I know I need to get out of this environment and begin anew...
