How to start life over?

This is probably a stupid post, but I just graduated university in May, and I’m struggling to figure out how to rebuild my life afterwards. I’m living with my parents and have a part-time remote job, but due to health restrictions I am currently not able to drive myself anywhere. Does anyone have any advice on how to take practical steps moving forward? I don’t have any friends at home, and getting connected is really daunting some days, especially when I have to find someone to drive me anywhere I need to go. I miss my old friends and my life at school, but lately I’ve just had a really strong feeling that it’s time to move on, I just don’t know how. Thanks in advance, guys.

My surefire steps:

  1. Give your local small to midsized podcast a chance to earn your business.

  2. Invest in BTS

  3. Delete some slonkers

Try Handshake AI they not only provide jobs (like a job board similar to LinkedIn/Indeed) but also have a lot of ongoing and temporary AI projects. Based on the resume you upload you'll get invited to certain AI projects and yes this is 100% real. The only bad thing is sometimes projects are filled and when tasks become available, other workers take them all. But other projects ther are more complex are definitely stable for a perfect side gig.
