How can I possibly dig out of this hole?

I was going to move to Japan last spring for a job.  I decided not to a week before my flight.  I didnt feel right about it, things werent set right and I wasnt ready. Because of it I dropped out of school mid way through the quarter, destroyed my standings with Financial Aid and now get no coverage, which in turn makes me ineligable to re-enroll for school next fall.  I dont have the money. 

Now I owe 3000$ to friends and family who helped my out with the trip planning and for trying to recover after I decided not to go.  Most of the money goes towards paying back financial aid for not finishing the quarter.

Right now Im washing dishes from 5-11 most nights.  I cant find a second job for the life of me.  I dont have any real experience and everywhere I go to apply, which is everywhere I can think of, is laying more people off then hiring.  Im not making enough money.  My landlord sent my info into a collection agency and Im just waiting to be evicted.  I paid off my lease before I was supposed to go to Japan.  Now she says I didnt pay my last month.  Every day she charges me a 35$ late fee.  I owe more money than Im making and I have no idea how or what I can possibly do to get myself out of this shit storm I caused. Ive sold most of my stuff, but being a college student, it hasnt netted me much.

 

Any suggestions?  ... Anything?

Love your life.

First and foremost, breathe. You will get through this. The fact that you have some college credits already completed puts you in a better situation than those people who didn't go. I'd suggest finding a local temp agency in your area; they can likely set you up with a temporary office job that will likely pay more than washing dishes as well as get you experience working in a professional atmostphere. If you work hard and prove yourself, you will be more likely to be offered a permanent position or at least have great references for when you apply to other positions of a permanent nature. If you need help finding some agencies near you, let me know. Good luck!
