Omerta is on a distinguished road
Default Plenty of free time and Bored

Okay so I have freedom to do whatever I want with my days. I quit my Neanderthal job in a restaurant a few months ago because I was so exhausted, it was terrible. Let me tell you about my current situation : I am unemployed and broke. I am 20 and live with my parents. I don't want a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ job anymore. I didn't finished my early degree but I can't wait to return to school in the real estate. I'm already enrolled and it starts approximately in march 2012. During my free time I would like some suggestions to fill my days. Here's what I do with my days : Some guitar playing which is my passion(6 hours of practice each day)I play video games, but not so much. And... I read a lot books and surf on the internet. That's it. Unfortunately,I lack happiness. One thing is sure, something is missing in my life and it's called love.It kills me. What can I do with my life!?

For starters, I would suggest taking up a form of regular exercise. You may find that it improves your mood.

start a website or blog about what you like to talk about
it will give you something to do
you might help other people
+ you can also make some money from ads

exercise advice above was great
join a gym or if you are broke just get out of the house

for love the only way is to meet as many people as possible
to increase the chances of meeting that special someone

finally you could volunteer to help various organizations in your area which help children or elderly or other causes

best of luck

If you dont know, how would you expect us to know?

Not sure about Canada but perhaps try some volunteer work in your spare time?

I think that helping others and bettering the state of the world is an integral part of anyone's success. Therefore, I, too, might recommend the same advice as GregD:

One of the great thing about this or even creating you own product and selling it online through Paypal, for example (which would be free), is that you can setup systems that help you generate an income on autopilot, meaning you can be sleeping and still having money coming in, which is some really cool stuff.

For example, because you love playing the guitar, maybe you could create a 12-track CD and sell it digitally online. Maybe you could create a "How To Do _________________ With A Guitar" product. Just ask yourself, "What knowledge do I have I could use to help others?" (regarding selling an information product online).

You should always be doing what you love to do (so that you'll be happy), but in order to feel this, you should have some sort of vision and plan for the future so you know what you want to fill your days with.

Ask yourself what you enjoy doing but will also help you grow as a person, and then include such activities into your days. But have some sort of plan of what you want to do (eg. create an online guitar CD before going back to school) so that you'll be able to use your time well.

If you need assistance in creating a website an getting started, feel free to PM me. (I've been through the process and I know how easy it can be to get overloaded with information.)

Hope this helps!

Do you have friends? Do you meet people regularly?

Why dont' you use the time to network with real estate agents or get a job as a receptionist at a real estate agency so that you can get a job once you get your license?

I was going to suggest something similar. Even if you don't get paid, ask around if you could at least shadow or volunteer to help out some agents to get a better feel of what they do on the job. Even if you do this one day per week, I think you will pick up a lot.

If you think this is not that appealing, then I would really question your interest in real estate.
