It has over 119,000 miles

The problem is, I got a new battery back in May? drove it through June, it was fine. Went to Job Corps, came back in July, it worked totally fine, weekend passes it's worked fine, but now, since November, I had to jump start it. No power, blah blah blah. Just sitting there power drains, like its totally dead.

Going to jump it again tomorrow, and really jump it good. See if that has any effect, but for some odd reason, it doesn't seem to hold a charge?

sounds like you have a problem with your charging system and or battery. Get it to a garage they will test alternator, battery and starting system for you and determine your problem.

Definitely want to get that battery & charging system tested..

You may also have a draw on the system.... A quick easy check would be to disconnect the battery at night and then hook it up in the morning, if the battery starts the vehicle then it would time to start checking for a draw.

You could start off with see if any lights are staying on.....After that you're gonna need either an amp meter or test light to go any futher. If the draw is tie into any modules then you'll need & amp meter for sure....
