is there anything you really like doing/want to do? if there is, try and do everything you can to point your life towards that. its never too late to get an education in a particualr field either. If there isn’t anything you like doing, then try and experience as many things as you can, and find out where your interests lie :)

Alright. First of all, “20″ is not old. It’s young, quite young actually. You have your whole life out in front of you.

So. On the first topic: GED and such. It is possible to finish high school/go to collage at your age. Go now, because later on, you’ll wish you had finished/gone to collage.

Second. If that’s impossible, try looking for a second job. Make it slightly better then the one you hold now. First of all, if you get fired from either, you have a fall back, and second, you can threaten one with leaving for the other. Waitressing tips (or is it waiterising tips?): be a ‘people person’. Smile tons. Ask them often if they need anything. Talk to them. People like to be talked to.

And finally. It’s ok to be lazy. I myself am remarkably lazy. But you have to struggle through it. Try eating better, sometimes that helps the lethargy. Try going for a run or such.

Good Luck.
