Do you realize how young, in the grand scheme of things, 22 really is? You have your whole life to take care of yourself. Right now, just do whatever you can to reach whatever goal you have for yourself, and make it happen.

In short - hey, I am right there with you. These past two months have been really unnerving because I realized I didn't know what I wanted to do and where I wanted to do it, but once I got a semi-game plan, things became much less overwhelming.

Hang in there, yo!

I'm in a position to know a little about how it works, and there are some jobs you don't need a degree for.

What kinds of non-profit jobs would interest you?

You're young yet... things didn't work out for me until I was 24. Being self sufficient will set in soon enough. You'll get a few things to roll your way. I just know it. Hang in there babe.
