<human>: I've been thinking about posting for a while, but figured time would pass and things would be better. I am a suburban college commuter and the past few nights I have been struggling to sleep thinking that there is really nothing more out there than what I experience everyday. I am on spring break and all my friends are in college or on break in places like miami. I have been doing nothing but routinely working, going to school, and drinking/smoking until I can forget about everything. I may just be depressed or desiring summer to see my friends again, but even that may not be enough. I have a girlfriend who goes to school a few states away, and I wish I could go to college nearby her but I do not have the money to do so. This may just be a nice way to vent, but really I have no idea what to do. I was wondering what kind of hobbies I should be pick that would be useful or actually entertaining. I play video games and work out, but every game has become so repetitive to me, and working out isn't the same as playing a sport like I used to. I miss meeting new people, but there isn't anybody to meet. I do not know if it is me not knowing who I am or what I enjoy, but I need something to change and could really use some help with that.

<bot>: I am a college commuter who is depressed. Any ideas/hobbies that will help take my mind off things and be useful?
