6 months ago I lost my job, said fuck it, and decided to buy a ticket out of the country... I leave in less than a month, and I need some advice.

OP, I've lived for over a year combined in foreign countries: a) Do not get drunk. A lot of people have mentioned this. It is good advice. b) The rest of the world isn't scary. It's not like you walk out of America and DEATH. You can avoid most nasty tourist stuff by not looking like a tourist. Hence, having a backpack with you is to be avoided. If you can find some home base in whatever city you're in , leave your stuff somewhere safe/locked, and then appear just like anyone else, you'll have zero issues. Walking around like a tourist is what causes problems. c) When you're in Europe, the only thing to worry about is men who are in Europe as tourists from Turkey/Middle East (and apparently Morocco???). For whatever reason, men from those areas seem to think that Western women are all ready to bang at all times. The only reason this would be of concern to you is if you are sharing a room in a hostel. d) Change your socks lots. e) DO NOT USE MONEY CHANGERS. Just use ATMs.

Find a rich dude to fuck a few times in exchange for money, then your life will be a hell of a lot easier.
I don't see anyone suggesting this, but if you have a WiFi capable device, bring it. You can probably steal wifi access at airports or cafes so you can check in with parents/Facebook.
It's been said, don't go to Morroco on your own. The UK is not part of the Schengen agreement, so you should be able to take up to 30 days there (check with people who actually know about immigration laws before taking my word for it). Also, there is a chance French immigration won't let you in without a visa if you don't have a fixed and definite plan for leaving the country before your visitor status expires.
Please be careful. I've met woman who've traveled through this world alone and they tell me countless stories of sketchy and dangerous situations they've been through. They did say Asia was rather safe. However, that is moot at this point. I have heard great things about wwoof'ing. Have you tried contacting the people you may be working with? My friend met a lot of great people doing it and it has always sounded like a very safe option when traveling. In Africa, it is very easy to stand out. No matter where you are they will acknowledge you. If you are foreign, they will automatically see you as a rich person. Anyway, it sounds like you have an amazing experience ahead of you and you may come back a completely different person. Good luck!
I don't really have advice, but hell, that sounds freaking awesome! Good luck! Slightly related: September 25th is my birthday.
Be careful about pickpockets on public transport etc... I was not at all worried about them when I went to europe, and thought I would feel something if they had there hand in my pockets... lost my wallet with a lot of money, albeit got it back through travel insurance, they are sneaky buggers and you should watch out!
Morocco will be terrible. Two of my friends (both female) went there for two weeks and they hated how all the men were being horrible towards them.
If you have no job and little money why would you go to Morocco? Why not go some place where you can probably find a job? You speak some french, go to france!
"Another problem with Spain, France and Morocco is theft and pickpocketing. I have been to France and Spain and the amount of crime related to pickpocketing is crazy. Here are a few examples of what to look out for 1) Someone bumping into you quite hard, this is pretty much a dead giveaway. 2) people offering to clear the back of you bag because you have tomatoe sauce or some liquid on it eg. One person pours a specified liquid onto your bag/rucksack when you aren't looking, another in the duo will "help" you clean it up whilst you are not looking (but aware of them helping you) when they are done, the liquid will be gone, but so will your money and passport.
