First thing you need is a job. You need a job for money, money to do things. You need money so you can go out and experience the world. If it sounds even kinda interesting and you have the funds, your going. Road trips, adventure travel, random classes at a craft store, anything. The key is the more things you do the more you'll learn about yourself, and the better you know that guy the easier it will be to find some kind of direction in your life.

That makes a lot of sense. I guess the thing I'm really worrying about right now is that because of a huge trip I'm going on in a week or two I'm going to be completely out of money. Or nearly.

But that's what your money is for right out of school, go experience the world. You'll make more. After high school I had no idea what I wanted to do. Worked for a while, moved halfway across the US for a year at one point and then moved back. I spent a good number of years working jobs to make money to experience things. Now in my mid 30s I've finally landed in a career I can see myself doing for decades. I would never have found it if I hadn't gotten all the experience everywhere else.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. Maybe I'll do something like that.
