But wait, thats not it. I lost all of my good friends. Friends I used to go out with every weekend, do crazy stuff, etc. Friends I planned to go to the Mountains with this summer. You might be asking how I lost all of them. Well, I found out that they were lying to me after I made 1, 1, 1, and 1 only mistake in my life with them. I didn't keep my word for once.. (it was about the money)... And after that they started to lie to me. I didn't go out with them for a month now. And I know that they went out without inviting me A LOT of times. IDK how to cope with the thought of not having a job, having to pay for rent, car, and mostly not having any friends left. How do I cope with this nightmare?

While these jobs may not sound appealing, they will pay you and you'll have money for gas and insurance. Do this until you are caught up enough to save up and then you can find a job you enjoy.
You'll meet new people at a job, but it still hurts to lose friends. Real friends wouldn't ditch you for making only one mistake. It sounds like they need someone to pick on and unfortunately you're their target- they sound immature and not worthy of your time or attention. Keep your head high and focus on meeting new people. Take up a hobby or volunteer somewhere. Internships are also a great place to meet new people and network.
While things are tough for you right now, they will get better. Hang in there!

 well I know it's not easy to find a new job right away, but you could always go to the job centre and sign on for jobseekers allowance until you do find yourself a job, and over the summer there is usually loads of work going.
As for your friends I say they dont deserve u, if they began lying to you and stopped being friendly with you because of one silly thing, then they really are not worth bothering with. I know it is hard to over come that, because they are your friends. But i have been in this kind of situation myself, and I have taken myself out of that persons life, and i feel better for it. You will make new, better friends who you will be able to form a true friendship. Not the obvious flimsy one that you had with these previous friends.
Hope this helps. x Take care
