My 20 year old advice to myself...

Alright. First of all, “20″ is not old. It’s young, quite young actually. You have your whole life out in front of you.

So. On the first topic: GED and such. It is possible to finish high school/go to collage at your age. Go now, because later on, you’ll wish you had finished/gone to collage.

Second. If that’s impossible, try looking for a second job. Make it slightly better then the one you hold now. First of all, if you get fired from either, you have a fall back, and second, you can threaten one with leaving for the other. Waitressing tips (or is it waiterising tips?): be a ‘people person’. Smile tons. Ask them often if they need anything. Talk to them. People like to be talked to.

And finally. It’s ok to be lazy. I myself am remarkably lazy. But you have to struggle through it. Try eating better, sometimes that helps the lethargy. Try going for a run or such.

Good Luck.
