I have proven myself incapable of getting a job and am desperate, advice?
I have applied to over 2000 positions about 300 in person and the rest online via e-mail over the past 6 months. I would've applied for a lot more in person because I know it shows initiative but the problem is my father whom i live with doesn't have a computer or printer ( I'm asking this question on my iphone) and for me to apply in person I have to print at the library which is 20 cents for 1 side of of ink which for my package (cover letter, resume and references) costs me a minimum of a dollar which is money I don't normally have to spend because I don't have job or any way of getting money and I just can't ask my father because we have been going through hard financial times. It feels like I've done everything. I have accounts to 5 different job search websites, 4 employment agencies have me on file and I call each of them once a week to ask if they found something for me and its the same thing every time "no", I tweak my resumes and cover letters the best I can based on the job I'm applying (which in high school I took a class on how to do) and when I do apply in person I take everything into account from the shoes I wear to the way I dress my hair and despite all this I have yet to have gotten so much as a job interview. I'm so tired of people saying when I tell them this "really, not even McDonalds (or places like that) is hiring" I mean for the love of god the minimum wage positions are the main nuts I have been unsuccessfully trying to crack. It seems all I feel nowadays is frustration and anger over my ineptitude. I'm currently in university (first year), i'm there to pursue my dream but I didn't get the marks I could've gotten because I have been focusing so strongly on getting a job. The reason being this, even if I do manage to get through university on nothing but my father and student loans I'll still be the 26 year old with little experience and not even a job before or during my schooling. My future is on life or death dependence on me getting

- Locked iPhone and need sim card to use because I restarted it but i don't have the specific sim I need. Please i'm desperate? Ok so my aunt got me an iPhone from Canada but its sim locked and it says I need to insert a sim card for it to work. The problem is i don't have a sim from that specific company that locked it and the only thing I can do is emergency calls and all that. I can't even use it as an iTouch or something.
- I keep getting texts from myself? Me and my dad share the same Apple ID for our iPhones. Whenever I text him, my text will go to him then come to me as a new text from myself. How do i stop this from happening!
- I feel desperate and stupid? So I was on the internet and it said free iPhone 5S so I put all my info street address, cell number. And I reading the comments some people said they got it and some were like fake now I'm just worried I shouldn't done it I know better so I'm guessing I'm going to get tons of junk mail? :/ I only did it that one time but now I learned my lesson and my mom told me that nothing in this world will ever be free
- How do I encourage myself and make myself thankful for what I have? I admit I take much for granted, I complain because one thing goes wrong or be sad because I don't have the newest iPhone. To me it feels bad being the middle/lower class student in the rich kid high school. However I try very hard to tell myself I should be more grateful and some people don't have anything, I have a warm bed and roof over my head. But yet I always seem to fall back into a state of wanting. How can I change, so I can increase my happiness?
