Downward Spiral? Or Just a rough patch?

My life sort of sucks at the moment. And despite being reassured that it's okay be 25 and single I still don't feel good about myself. I'm mid-twenties, single and since 6/30 job-less. I've submitted numerous applications, hell I've applied to 25 different places in the area, so far not a single call back. I refuse to call a friend and vent because my life is a cake-walk compared to some and I feel like my issues are so trivial that I shouldn't dwell and get pissed off about my current situations-because- it could be worse.
I thought "Okay, I can handle looking for a job again, I've been working since I was 16, I have a good work ethic... Why not start looking right away?" Now, it's getting to the point where I'm debating a new career in exotic dancing... At least I'd be getting male attention.
I've had to put school off so many times because of one thing or another, whether it be to please a boyfriend (ugh), or because I missed a deadline, or just simply didn't have the money. The school I have been accepted to--FAFSA is going to pay 90% of the tuition (told you my financial situation was bad), but where am I going to get the other 10%? I'm scraping the bottom of my money jar for invisable pennies. Seriously!! At this point I'm never going to get (another) degree. I feel like I've put myself into this rut, by not talking to anyone, or putting myself out there, but how can someone who is so guarded (yet emotional) learn to put themselves out there? HOW I ASK YOU?
