Up until a few hours ago, I was living in Los Angelos, California, USA -- Population 16,000,000+. As of now, I live in Salinas, California -- agricultural capitol of the country, population 65,000ish.
As you all can probably imagine, this change doesn't exactly have me jumping for joy. Besides the obvious lifestyle changes this is going to force me to make, I'm leaving behind every friend I've ever known, and my girlfriend of over two years. In fact, the only thing I really have to look forward to here is a moderately well-paying (Considering my age/experince) job that I can't stand going to (Customer service for a company that distributes plastic bags to local vegetable growers. Ugh!!).
I plan on driving back every weekend (6 hour drive) to keep my relationship with my friends and girlfriend healthy, but I'm afraid it won't be enough, and with gas prices the way they are...
I guess I'm just asking for general tips to help cope, and any possible suggestions on ways to gether up enough money to move back quickly. I don't enjoy it here. Not one bit. (link)

It's going to be alright. You can make your way through this. You just have to figure out your long- and short-term goals and try to meet them as quickly as possible. You can fly down periodically, and everything will be alright, as the Killers say. That's actually what has gotten me through several stressful events in my life. I can let you borrow the CD.
