Scared to Death

I have done nothing again today. Woke up, ate some breakfast, drank some coffee, watched some TV, scrolled through Craigslist, watched some more TV, showered. See, nothing.
I am currently unemployed, and hating every minute of it. But there is also this part of me that likes it. My parents absolutely hate it, the fact that I sit around all day doing nothing.
Want to know a secret? There is another part of me that is terrified at the thought of getting a job, not the making money part, but the change part. I have found that I am scared to death of change, and I don't know why. I think I am scared because the thought of going to be interviewed also scares me, not the talking face to face with people, but employers seeing my resume. I have no job experience, but lots of volunteer work. And when I say lots, I mean lots! The entire second page of my resume is volunteer work.
I'm afraid of what employers are going to think of a seventeen year old that has no job experience, I know it's alright, because I am a student and all but my all my friends have or have held some kind of job, and when they ask me how I'm doing and find out I still don't have a job, I can practically smell the judgement coming off them.
My mom's boss told me one day when I was in her office that he had a friend that never went to get a really job until we was in his mid-twenties. He was wealthier and went from high school straight into four years of post-seconday and his parents paid for everything.
That is not going to be me! I actually hope to be living with a roommate or on my own at that age.
Dear God, I have got to stop complaining!
