I've just realised all my friends have gone to uni.

I'm quite sad at the moment as my friends have all gone away to uni, to begin with I only had a handful of friends and only 2 actually stayed within my town. Now they have all gone of to uni while I'm on my gap year earning some money.
At my work most folk are a lot older, and I'm not even 18 yet, I do stuff in the evening like go to the gym. But I'm just feeling a bit like a loner just now and feel like I need some friends during this time.

Join some sort of sports club, or maybe take a break from your job for a few months later on a year and get involved in a gap year project - there are plenty around and you'll meet lots of people who are in exactly the same position as you!

Thing is I'm quite shy, and the second thing was the main idea of my gap year then I realised I needed the money.

You'd be suprised at how much you can earn if you work full time for 9 months, then you could take 3 months to join a scheme of some sort! Even if you're shy, there'll be just as many who are just as shy I'm sure.

I'm in the same boat, but for me I've just finished uni and am on a gap year before I (hopefully) go on to a teaching degree. All my friends are either still at uni or working in the big cities. I'm still looking for a job, which is making the lack of friends even worse, so I'm desperately hunting for anything, and I've decided to volunteer somewhere and go to some classes at the gym - so fingers crossed i meet people through that! I'm hopefully going to work for PGL from febuary tho, which will be great socially. Have you thought of doing anything like that - you live there as well as working there. They pay you a small amount but you could save it all, as your accommodation and food is included. I know its hard, but just try anything. That's what I'm going to try and do.

Yup most of my friends have left for uni now, some of the remaining few next week and I'm stuck at home for a lot of this year! (I have a few friends around but it's not so bad I spose)
Maybe do as people say join a volunteer thing or something? I'm going to Mexico for a month in November with a project type thing You could earn some money for a couple of months and do something like that too?
Cheer up dude, don't be down, this could be one of the best years of your life! (So I have been told anyways, don't want to waste time when you could be doing stuff
)

I'm in pretty much the same position as well. I've started volunteer work so hopefully I won't be too lonely for much longer!

It's just whether I have time to do volunteer work, I have just started this job which is about 3 months training so they're going to be fairly annoyed if I quit to go away for a bit and expect to come back, and when I'm at the gym everyone seems to be a lot older than me

Don't worry dude, nothing you can do but make the most of the time you have and the situation you've been given.
Just enjoy yourself and go to concerts/social places, you'll meet people and have a great time, one day you'll look back and think "Wish I made more use of the time I had to myself", do whatever you want, you've got a year to be free and try new things out.

It's all well and good saying to to concerts/social places, but how many people actually go to stuff like that alone? It's not as easy as that.

Oh God, I am in the same situation.
Last year in college, I practically constantly hung out with the 2nd years (only a year younger than me, they were fun and actually made me do work xD)
but now I am in the 2nd year with the friends I made in first year...but I'm beginning to hate them all with a passion.
I didn't realise how unbelieveably childish and immature they are until coming back to college.
They are all totally pissing me off!
