google a list of 'classic cocktails' and try and find something that strikes your fancy. it really depends on the type of bar you visit, but more upscale places should be able to make any of the 'classics' despite them often not being on the menu.
But besides that, you should try a Moscow Mule if you haven't. It's a simple, tasty drink you can get at basically any bar.
oh, one last thing, if the bar is empty, chat with the bartender and ask what they think!

here is what I like to drink, any kind of semi nice or cocktail focused bar should have these ingredients on hand
my favorite with gin: the last word - gin, maraschino, chartreuse, lime, a cherry garnish
with rum: jungle bird - rum, Campari, pineapple, lime, simple syrup, pineapple to garnish
with tequila: matador - tequila, dry vermouth, orange curaçao, grapefruit peel oils squeezed on top

don't just consider the benefits of adulthood, dream about having a full-time job, starting something new, taking care of yourself, running errands, etc. let it be something you really look forward to. it's much less scary that way

try going to a local library once a week, or a gym, a museum, a thrift store, cafe, etc. if you find you like the vibe of a certain place, hang out there and be pleasant with the employees, after a while, they will remember you and will likely chat with you
this is more of a method to get used to talking to people, of course an employee is getting paid to talk to you, but in my own experience, i love taking to regulars!

there is this strange lull between the end of winter and early spring (though, technically it is late winter) that i've never truly noticed before. the weather is getting warmer (the temperature was just perfect today, mid 60s), but everything is dead. i had a wonderful day mulling about the town, enjoying the first truly nice day of the year. but everything is still asleep, the trees, the grass, the animals. i know there is so much more to come, good and bad. i suppose what i mean to say is, bare trees are still trees, though we anticipate their growth, let's love their lack of it all the same.
