How to meet people now that all the good ones are gone?
In highschool i was fairly popular and had a lot of great friends who are great fun people. partied but kept their priories straight. well after graduation they all went off to the universities. i tried and failed at community college, im not dumb i just work well with my hands and im more interested in things of that nature. so im stuck here in my home town, a small middle-upper middle class city. all my friends who are going anywhere in life are far from home and im stuck here with the few friends who didnt do anything after high school, they dont even have jobs, just living off their parents... i worked at a grocery store but got laid off. now i am self employed. i install sound systems in peoples cars using craigslist to get my ad out there. i dont want to hang out with my buddies anymore, if we keep hanging out we wont go anywhere. but im a very social person. i cant stand sitting at home on nights like tonight. i need some new friends that are doing something with their lives! but what can i do in a small town? 20 miles from the mall and any other place for people my age to gather. im 20 and in 10 months ill be able to go to bars but i dont want to meet a bunch of party animals, i want to meet successful people. what should i do?
