I'm new to this site, and I'm not even entirely sure if I am posting in the right place. Need some life advice/tips from anyone out there! I am 23 years of age. I've never been a very together person. Everything in my life has always been quite scattered, family life has always been a bit flip floppy and all over the place, there have always been question marks over parts of my family life, and drama with someone or other. I've learned to half seperate myself from that. Thats not the issue.. anymore. I have never been the most academic person in the world. I fell behind at school and then surprise surprise, I dropped out of college and never finished. Just recently I got offered a place in a University in London. However the only reason I dreamed of looking for places in London was because my boyfriend of three and a half years wanted to move there. He asked me to move there with him. I agreed and I found myself a reason to go, just for me. My course starts next month, and last month, out of the blue, my relationship ended. Now the fees for this course (As I'm not resident in the UK) are roughly 9,500 pounds a year going on 10,000 pounds a year once BREXIT is in full force. This is no longer something that is viable for me. I have found it extremely hard to find part time work in London that will enable me to survive over there. I just recently quit my job because of this move.. but now? No idea. I am currently living in a city about an hour from home, I have a month left on the lease in my house before I need to move.

So where do I go? Its the first time in my life I am free to go where I please and travel where I please but I am at a complete loss on where to go. What to do? Where is expensive to live? Where is somewhere I could go alone? Where is somewhere I could get work with no degree? (I have been working part time and full time since I was 16, plenty of work experience.) I have never felt like more of a failure in my enire life. This is the first time in six years I have been unemployed. Where do I go? I have always wanted to travel, and I would be happy to move somewhere for a while and work there and travel from there. I have two friends who are maybe willing to travel or move with me after christmas.. so I could try and stay here until then. (Here, is Ireland).

I have never been so free to do what I want and so unsure of what to do at the same time.

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks!
