Places to see in United States?

Well, niagara falls is in the northeast.

Florida and louisiana have some nice swamps if you're into that.

I think some of the great lakes are partly in midwest.

Great resource is if you go to your local library and get a travel guide for specific state after looking at a map.

How to calm anxiety?

Ultimately if its chronic and nothing you do seems to help, it may be something that requires medication. You don't necessarily need to go to a shrink for that, often your primary dr can prescribe something.


That said try taking a walk and listening to something that will keep you from having anxious thoughts. Like music or a podcast on something that does not relate to anything stressful.

When i am anxious i usually feel the need to move so that is what i try to do. I will pace and talk to someone.

Should I go to trade school?

There might also be cheaper, non college ways to take classes on that kinda stuff.

What bits of wisdom has life taught you?

Not taking a risk can cause as much or more regret as taking it and it not panning out. (I don't mean risking material things or your safety).

Related to that...high school doesn't matter. Ask the girl/guy out, embarrass yourself, experiment. Grow as a person now, don't wait.

Should I go to trade school?

Auto repair, small engine repair, metal working/welding, 3D printing, robotics. I want to do all the things, but it ultimately goes back to a childhood desire to be a mad scientist and inventor.

But these are things that must be learned hands on, not from a book.

And even though I'm not broke anymore, I'm also not rich. I'll never be rich.

I would just say don't sell short the community college auto repair class. If it really is just textbook reading and quizes, i agree with you (trade school will have that element too) but i would hope they also have a garage and allow you to actually work on cars...probably depends on the school, it's facilities, and even the teacher. You can always sit in on the first class for free and at a community college they often have rolling enrollment...and you just have to sign up and pay the cost and there's no deadline or big formal application.

As far as cost, it may cost as little as a few hundred bucks for a single course...depending on where you live.

Speaking of books, i recently got a part time job at a library and i was shocked at how many books they have on welding, soldering, car manuals, etc. Books aren't great for hands on knowledge but they are a cheap way to explore as subject if you can't immediately start learning on the job.
