I'm putting my college education on hold to live on my own and figure out what I want for myself for the first time in my life. I'm a little scared about not having a degree and a good job and lacking charisma. However, life is too short to get pigeonholed into a job and town I hate, and I'm finally going to do what I want instead of what I think I should do, but I would appreciate advice and stories from those older and wiser in this trying time.
