I feel like I'm stranded on an island. I just finished 4 years at uni and I'm now sitting around home literally just applying to grad programs and finding internships and other jobs. Other than that, I just play video games most of the afternoon and watch TV and browse the Web. Are there any ways I can get ahead of the game besides lazing around all day? I feel like I'm just bored and finished with life already and I don't even have a girlfriend which makes the situation a bit more depressing. How can I remedy myself? I wanna do something interesting to make people more attracted to me and stuff and I just wanna be active a bit to avoid the struggle of not knowing what comes next on my checklist.
Try getting a job or volunteering.

Go for a run and get a nice sweat going. That'll give you some relief for a while.
Simple truth is that your feelings dont always tell you the truth. Does your objective mind tell you you're doing everything necessary? You may well be doing so.
So go for a run, it WILL give you some relief, promise.

Yeah I'm trying my best to find something to do. Otherwise, I just hope I don't end up job hunting for the rest of the year.

You have a point there. I'm trying to exercise regularly but some days I get too lazy or pressured by seeking a relationship with a woman. Some days it's difficult to escape this mindset because I have recently been told my childhood crush is moving out of state for grad school and won't return again because her family is leaving as well from our home state to find new business.

What he said. I started volunteering because i couldn't find a job during my studies and was sick of playing games all the time. I met wonderful people, boosted my confidence and gained a lot of work experience. Even if it's unpaid atleast you're doing something on the side that you can talk about so you get a job. Also its good for your wellbeing. Hope this helps :)

You're right, that sounds helpful. I'll look into some volunteering stuff then.

Dear OP
You're a whiney fuck content to wallow. A girl will not solve your underlying apathy. A relationship will not solve it.
You need to start giving a fuck about yourself.
Start treating FINDING a job LIKE a job. You should be spending 6 to 8 hours a day researching, creating variations of your resume to fit differemt fields of work, creating a linkedin, monster, indeed account, checking city, county, and state job boards.
You want to make people attracted to you? You won't do it being little woe betide. Confidence, success, achievement is sexy.
Be a do-er and a maker. Just fucking move. Wallowing won't fix or change a damn thing

Read. Keep up with what's happening in your field. It will keep you mentally alive and have the side effect of impressing an interviewer when you mention some recent book in the field.
