A few of these are outside of your control, there's no use stressing over things you can't control, as hard as it is, a lot of it can be looked at and corrected.

Money and Rent can be partially corrected with a few efforts, such as finding a roommate/finding a better job/finding a new living locale.

Your girlfriend and her new boyfriend are issues that she would need to correct, I personally wouldn't try any schemes or anything to get her back simply beyond trying to find out why she no longer cares to spend time with you. I dislike messing with other peoples' lives, as I dislike them messing with mine.

Grades would usually be a problem of not paying enough attention to your studies, I did pretty terrible this past semester as well. Worried entirely too much about my video games and my school suffered for it.

A drinking problem and your sleeping problem are likely directly related to your being stressed. I would recommend finding a new hobby or something to help you relax and clear your mind when you can. I'd also recommend steering clear of alcohol, if you have trouble controlling your consumption. Nothing good has come of abusing alcohol, so a little willpower would need to be exercised.

Lastly, your metabolism slows down as you age, meaning you have to work harder to keep your figure as you age. I've put on some weight since I graduated High School as well, it tends to happen. If this is a large concern to you, consider dedicating more time to fitness or doing some more research into how you can improve the time you spend on fitness. This could become a new hobby such as I recommended above.


While far from professional advice, I figure these are good starting points at least. I hope it all works out for you, and I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It always sucks to lose someone you knew.
