I am 22 and it's come to a point in my life where I can't take my daily routine anymore. I've tried changing it, new hobbies, different workout routines/classes, a different position in the grocery store I work at. But after a while, it's not enough. I feel that I need a complete CHANGE. Also, I've always had this OVERWHELMING urge to travel... but feel that it will require some long term traveling. Instead of going out of town for 4 days, I feel like i need a few months to a year or so.
I want to quit my job, but the only thing that is holding me back is this thought that I won't ever find another one. I know it's silly, but i can't just help feeling like that.
More info:
-I work at a grocery store, non-management so I know I am replaceable. And, no, they will not hold
my job.
-I do have money saved up, but can save more.
-First, I plan on finishing my AA within the next 2 years.
-I live in an apartment, I can easily put everything into storage.
-I have no children or pets.
-This isn't how I pictured my life.
-I feel that if I don't do this now within the next few years, when will I?
I feel like I'm having a quarter-life crisis here... any advice? I probably just answered my question...

I agree that ideally you should finish Uni first. But, you have to do what you have to do!
What about moving as an alternative? A fresh set of scenery, a new University, new friends, new job, new digs -- in the long run that may be more fulfilling than the temporary change you'd get from travelling. After all, let's say you have a great time traveling -- it will be depressing to come back to the exact same life you currently find unacceptable!
Don't let your job hold you back. As you recognize, it's not a rare job. It's the kind you can find anywhere. Just make sure you leave professionally so you can get a positive reference, from your boss in particular.
I'm in a similar situation as you, I would finish college first.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE MONEY, GO AHEAD TO TRAVEL AND GET BACK TO A NEW JOB,NEW ENVIRONMENT,NEW START.:)
