Dont like where my life is at the moment

    I am turning 24 soon and I don't like where my life is at the moment.

    On one side things are going very well such as I am getting unbelievable experience in my job with a massive multinational company. But the job requires me to work 10-12 hour shifts and work on the odd weekend so I only get one day off a week.

    On other side of things it is not going so well. I had to move to a new city to take up this job and after 7 months I still dont know anyone outside of work. Obviously my hours dont help. After work I will play football twice a week and any night I am not playing football I will head to the gym and go for a swim.

    But I have no social life which is starting to annoy me big time. In college I had lots of friends to do stuff with but no I have no one. I have decided to move out of my current house as I am hoping that moving into a new house I will get to know more people.

    Despite getting unbelievable experience I still dont enjoy my job all that much. I really need the experience and I need to give it a year from now before I can leave. ATM a year seems so far away and I dont want to keep not having a social life for a year.

    Like some of my friends are off traveling the world (some even are getting paid to travel via their work) and I am just jealous that I am stuck here in an office all day doing work I dont really enjoy.

    What is it that you want from a social life? Just somebody to share a drink with on your day off, or more than that?

    Will your work experience be essential to getting you a job you really will enjoy? If so, is it not worth doing this year, and then going to do what your friends are doing now in 12 months?

    Just a few ideas. Try and get friends from work to go out with you that you get on with. I would suggest buying tickets and saying you won them or someone gave them to you. Maybe a night at the cinema or at the greyhound track. So the tickets won't be too expensive.
