How to turn my life around?

I'm 19. I don't have a lot of friends, I don't really go out and have fun. I've been gaining weight. I'm in college, I've been procrastinating, I've been skipping classes, I have a pile of writings to do (most depressing). I want to have more fun, part and all that, lose weight, dress nicely, go on vacations, have my own business, and not procrastinate. But it's too hard. I start, and soon after, give up or forget what I just started.

    Have your friends help you along the way for motivation. Self motivate yourself with what you've written above to change whatever you want to be changed. You can do anything you set your mind to just become more motivated and all these problems will be removed from our life (:

    Get a facebook add everyone and ask them if they all want to hang out. Maybe make a party at your house or ask them to hang out at popular places with you. Talk to people you don't normally talk to. If they hate you then talking to them won't make a difference and at least you'll be assured of who is your friend and who is not. If they like you then you've got a new friend. You can go out and have fun with those people you asked on facebook to hang out with. You can also ask them to go to the gym with you, they can be your secret motivators. If you've been procrastinating, then when you are in the mood eliminate the procrastinators. If the internet makes you procrastinate then block certain websites, get rid of your pillow, get rid of the tv, get rid of your ipod, and stuff them all in your closet. It's best to start your piles of writing in the time of the day that you feel most motivated. If you want to dress nicely you will need money, and you will need a part time job. Also not rushing in the morning will help you dress nicer. But you will need a loud alarm or sleep early. To sleep early you need a homework schedule. The only time teenagers go on vacations is when their parents take them somewhere. Unless your parents are rich, you're not going anyway until you make enough money for your self to go somewhere. If you want to have your own business you need money to open one. Again, part time job. Nothing is hard unless you have the wrong mentality. Start to train your mind to make it think they way you want to think.

    Do you really want to do these things or do you just think that you ought to do them because others tell you so?

    Have you been the victim of abuse? Take a look at your childhood, and see if there is underlying abuse or neglect in your past.

    Otherwise, just do what you feel comfortable with. Not everyone is a social butterfly or a successful business owner; these are things our culture puts on us, so to speak.
