Whats a good way to better myself?

Maybe its some sorta life crisis idk. Im 24 1/2 and im not livin too hot. I dropped outta college first year cuz it wasnt for me. I have a job in warehousing for f-ing walmart. It pays decent but i want something better. I live with a room mate til i can swing my own apartment. I drive a crappy car that wont pass inspection and i have bad credit so a car loan aint happening. I have a rough time meeting women (only ever had 3 short term gfs). I moonlight doing comedy and its locally pretty well received but that cant be my plan A career plan. Pretty much i wanna be a better adult. Im sober now. When i go out and have a good time its in moderation and responsibly. I want to be successful and now that the dark times are behind me i dont know where to go from here. What do i do?

    Read and read and read. Read books, magazines, newspapers. Read a variety of stuff. Reading develops and sharpens your mind, and will put you in the path of things you may eventually realize are things you want to do with your life.

    Three other things to do: One is volunteer. Volunteering is also a great way to find focus in one's life.

    Another thing is make a list of all the things in life that you DON'T want to do, and where you DON'T want to live. That will also help you eventually focus -- maybe just through a process of elimination -- on the things you might discover you do want to do.

    And the third thing is exercise daily...even if it's just something as simple as going for a brisk walk for 40 to 60 minutes every day. It actually does amazing things for your mind and energy levels.

    Good luck. And stay sober.

    (P.S. Being well-informed and altruistic and in shape are things that are likely to improve your chances of really connecting with a potential girlfriend too.)
