Hey dude. I don't really have anything to add, except I understand your situation 100%.
I'm 23, I live at home, I lost all my friends, my girlfriend left me for another guy, I have an Art degree, and I am having a lot of trouble finding work and figuring out what I want to do.
But it's like amonkie said, you have a clean slate. It's lonely as hell, make no mistake, but now that you've been through things and you understand life that much more you now have the opportunity to make even better choices this time around. That is my mantra, it is what keeps me sane.
In my experience so far, the worst thing you can do is give up. I did that and now that I want to make something of my life I am finding it dauntingly difficult. Don't lose momentum leaving college, run with it. Don't take time off. Just GO.
Guess I lied, I did have $.02 to tell.
