I was out of work at the beginning of the year and a relative offered me an opportunity across the country which I happily took. Now I've been here for about 8 months and I'm bored out of my mind. The town is about 1/5th the size of where I came from and it seems like there's not much to do. The work isn't quite what I had thought it would be and I don't enjoy it much. Although the pay is decent and I'm on salary, there's not a lot to do so I end up only working a couple hours a day. Normally I wouldn't complain about making full paychecks while working so little, but all the extra free time just adds to my boredom. All my friends back home were made through school, or outings/activities with current friends. I keep thinking I should just move back home but I don't know what to do honestly. Anyone else go through a similar experience, any advice/tips? I'm a 23 year old guy if it matters.
Life is what you make it. You haven't given us many details about where you are now, where you came from, or what you like to do. Fill in those details, that may help others give you some ideas. Although jasper12 has a good one.

They say after a divorce, etc., - main life event - to not make any changes for at least a year. It takes a while to get acclimated.
Do you live somewhere with meetups? Sounds like you don't have a SO. What about internet dating? You need to make new friends or get a love life going. Then you'll probably love it there.
Check into clubs. I've heard the Sierra Club has a singles club that meets to do hiking, etc. I've heard it's a great way for young people to meet.
Either way, give yourself a deadline - say give it a total of 2 years? If you do that, you will relax and try to find things you like about it in the meantime. If after that time, you still want to move, then move.
