General

I suck at getting over my ex-girlfriend.

dealing with hurt from a bad breakup and loss of friends, kind of forgetting who i am, reluctant to just "get out there" and start again, everything is uncomfortable and uneasy, feel like ive lost a lot of spirit and confidence

[quote=radeo]I have a lot of anxiety about going back to college. I've tried it once and I lasted 3 months, spent thousands doing so because it was a private college. Now I'm in debt around $30k with nothing to show for it. At least I'm indebted to my husband, who paid for the college for me, so no interest, but I still have to go back to school where I'll actually have to take out loans. I'm looking at 6 years of college total (including community college -- high school gpa was not good) while balancing being a wife and mother. I don't regret having a child because it had been all I wanted for years but it's going to make things a lot more difficult. I don't really have the option to not go to college though.[/quote]

I wish you the best.

OT: stressing and waiting for an anwser from my job interview last friday. The interview went okay and she would contact me this week, but hell, ever since that day I am constantly watching my mailbox to see if there's any mail from the manager.

[quote=norman897]Any nice ways to save cash?

Like to cut down on expenses?[/quote]

Simple ways to cut down on expenses are:

1. Time your showers, that way, by taking shorter showers, you will easily lower your utility bills.

2. If you do not have a need for television, cut your cable cord, and you can simply just exchange it for something like Netflix, Hulu, or an HD antenna. Watch everything online instead.

3. If you happen to work and land a raise, get a bonus, or work overtime, put your excess cash directly into a savings account if you have one.

4. During winter, turn down the heat and wear a sweater. In summer, cut down on using the air-conditioner if you have and switch to using a fan or a de-humidifier.

5. Cut the coffee. If you're the type of person who goes on a coffee run and buys coffee every day, forget about that. Switch from cappuccino to a standard brew, or brew your own tea at home before you go anywhere, that way you can fill in a thermostat water bottle if you have one, and you can reuse that bottle without having to buy a water bottle every single time.

6. Buy second-hand. Look for clearance sales when shopping. If you want to buy something pricey, think it over - Do you really need that or are you just buying it out of an enjoyment?

7. Stop snacking and do not go to eat at expensive places. Learn to cook for yourself, and if you don't know how, there are simple easy recipes you can look up online. Eat fuller meals during lunch and dinner and avoid the snacks. Just cut down eating out to maybe like, two times per week, then for every other meal, cook it yourself. You won't realize how much you'll be lowering your food bill.

8. Replace your light bulbs. Using energy-efficient light bulbs will cut down on your utility bills.

9. Do not drink if you're legal and do drink. Alcohol is expensive. Cutting down the amount you drink is going to have a big impact on your budget. Save drinking for only special occasions, especially if you're the type to go out drinking with your friends every night or week.

10. If you have a car but you really do not need one, think of switching to walking, biking, or taking the bus. If you do need the car, reduce the amount of times you drive it. If you need to go somewhere that's extremely close by your home, consider walking or biking there instead. It may be time consuming, but it'll save a lot of your gas.

These are just some ways you could cut down on expenses. Though, there are certainly a lot more other ways, i'm just not sure exactly what you have/do that I could also suggest that would help you save money, so this is just a basic outline of things to help. Feel free to DM me if you need help on anything else regarding that matter.

i'm still reeling from what happened between me and my church and i don't really want to discuss it bc i shouldn't be but update from that is that the person who usually looked after me asked me to chat recently but with helping my housemates get settled in and a final next thurs, she had to text me instead and i told her i wasn't going to come back

other than that, this is my last year in uni. i've done so well over the last year but i feel like it won't be enough. a lot of dietetic internships ask for a 3.0+ gpa but honestly won't even consider you unless you're 3.5+ with lots of extracurriculars/internships. at some point i already decided i wasn't going to be a dietitian anymore anyways, maybe a nutritionist or diet tech but i just feel so lost. someone i know that's already graduated isn't even working in the field, she's just working and doing diet plans for friends and family on the side but more because ppl know she studied nutrition.
i don't want to go to grad school bc i can't afford it
i flaked on volunteering this whole summer because i have this weird creeping depression coming on like i am okay but i'm lowkey just anxious and feel like i'm drowning so maybe it's time to see a therpist again

School started a few weeks ago, and I'm already off to a really bad start. I started off horribly in my math, history, and english classes and I'm afraid I'm just going to keep doing worse. Given how terribly I've been doing in academics, I don't know what I'm going to do about the SAT either.. even though I know I should be signing up for it before the new one comes out, I'm afraid that I'm just going to fail that too.
In addition to that, the programs I joined during my freshman year have been falling apart. My journalism adviser is on administrative leave and my former speech and debate coach was fired at the end of last year. Because of the situation, I've found myself surrounded by talk about lawyers, politics, protests, and all things activism.. To be quite honest, I'm really tired of it. I used to really like going to debate, but now I find it hard to get myself to practice and do speeches again.
I also got flaked by someone I was excited to hang out with during the summer. He started messaging me out of nowhere recently, and I'm not sure how to feel about that..

Failing math, something im supposed to be good at

Yah everythings gr8 except family

@flushphantom: I totally feel ya

Need to be more sociable, I stutter and I rarely have anything interesting to say plus I'm awkward when I do

@windowlegs: IDK. I think it's working. I know other people who left for school and broke up w their SO's after like a few weeks, so I think we have something real. I'm seeing her soon and it feels different. It feels like when we were together now honestly, it just feels like we hang out hella long in between times now lol. It's not so bad right now. But overall I do think it's working, if we haven't broken up yet

@zetradedd: is the relationship even working....if you have to break up so often, shouldnt you just move on? =(

just with getting into/moving into school. trying to do stuff with financial aid and whatnot.

other than that, i'm doing fine. nothing really bothering me. i've stopped caring about how a lot of the people i used to be friends with have no intentions of ever being my friend. it's understandable. i'm not a great person. i think my only regret is that i've tried way too hard for people and i knew i shouldn't have.

I'm a manchild.

Waiting on the Canadian government to approve my work permit application

@windowlegs: lol. That was just one of many of our "breakups"

The longest we stay broken up is a couple of hours.

I'm afraid I will look like a 12-year-old for the rest of my life
i cri
P.S. I'm almost 18 >.<

My ma has been suffering from a brain tumor for 2 years now, I've been going to counseling for a month or so, so I guess its helping a bit.
Im not comfortable enough with going into detail about it.

Yes, I like to tinder to see which hot girls are attracted to me but am just looking for the confidence booster and never plan on messaging them. Halp! rtenmilisecondsback

I hate my clingy ex-girlfriend.
Last time I'm going for a girl purely for looks ugh.

this girl who i talked with ignored me then she started talking to me with her problems then she just kinda ignored me and is saying she doesnt have time to meet up cuz shes busy this month. She is very pretty and all but I guess I will just move on becuz I dont have time to wait for her and play games with her..

failure

ya bt no

someone stole my package.
or the mailman never delivered it in the first place or they put it in the wrong address.

Getting a girlfriend problems

i have very poor time management and motivation skills

[quote=colinl101]Just as @thenoob01 said, it is better to choose a major that you are going to enjoy doing and would want to continue pursuing later on in life. If there isn't an area you are definitely interested in, spend your first semester getting some general education requirements out of the way and filling up extra space with elective classes that you find interesting. Time your time to discover what really interests you, and then pursue it.

Also, I hate shipping too. They're always late for me >.<

There's nothing to be ashamed of, I understand the feeling of having people condescend to you almost all of the time, but don't let them get to you that much. Even if you can't get a decent job right now, you still have many years in the future to still get your life back together; be it a few months, a couple of years, as long as you don't lose all hope in yourself, even if it really is extremely late. I know your life must be pretty tough right now but hang in there. I'm glad you were able to share your situation, though. Bottling up things to yourself too much sometimes is what destroys you the most.

Get a job then save up some money from time to time.

I'm guessing she's the source to most of the disputes you may be going through with your girlfriend? Is it that you two just don't agree and get along well with each other?

@kayfabe: Don't worry, I feel ya, bro.

@carlyxox: omg i've been through the same situation as you, they are all evil and want us to suffer with having horrible looking pictures.[/quote]

I have a job. I have savings accounts, money in stocks. but I always want more.

@zetradedd: I'm sure she might feel the exact same way about you as you do with her. Even if it does stress you out a lot due to the distance between you two, it's the fact that you're still willing to be with her despite all of the problems that you two have been through.

It's great to hear that you're gonna be able to visit her in a couple of weeks, though. I hope things will eventually work out for you two, I send my best regards to you, good luck!

[quote=zetradedd]Im not venting to the Internet
Honestly having a girlfriend in GENERAL makes a freaking problem, most if not all of my problems stem from having her in my life[/quote]

i thought you broke up with her?

@colinl101 na man. Here's a summary. We were together for a little while and I developed serious emotions for her. Then I moved far away for school. In order to be with her again I have to do a LOT, and it's very stressful. If I didn't have her in my life I wouldn't have to worry about anything as much really, I could go my own pace towards something that didn't require so much from me.

It's not a bad thing. She's my love, but she does make problems in my life.

There are a lot of issues resulting from the distance as well but fortunately I'm visiting her in a couple weeks, less than two weeks now(!) and I plan on flying out 1-2 more times this year, and at least once again sometime early next year.

I wish I didn't care so damn much about her. I don't know what the heck it is that infected me. I think about her all the freaking time, I want to be with her more than anything else, shes of great importance to me for some reason. We've gone through a lot and for some reason I can never freaking leave her.

Design is a pain. Prior knowledge doesn't really help and there was only one class outlining what the project is supposed to be. Four months to build a simple arm that follows what the movement of an actual arm. Most people are doing fine in design because they form huge cliques and mimic each other's designs. Being extremely antisocial, there was no way I could do this class with my current schedule so I dropped it and made my schedule lighter to take it this year. I can just imagine the sneer on my professor's face if he recognizes me. Since he also taught the controls course and was someone I received help from, it's a good chance this will happen.

I'm in Co-op. But my crappy transcript and no notable experience makes me a low chance hire. I failed to find a position in the summer and had to return to my usual summer job at the factory. I can just imagine the sneers and jeers behind my back. I pretend I'm not bothered by this but I'm crushed and broken inside. I can't return there next year. It's a sign I've failed again. If I don't apply to enough courses, I'll receive an F in Co-op. So I half heatedly apply to jobs that I know I won't get just to fill the count; I just hope they don't do something stupid like picking me for things out of my league.

I get a week off before classes start. Since then, my parents have been criticizing my existence. I should be able to do what I want on my week off. Instead I'm called a hopeless case who can't survive in this world. They're right. I'll kill myself after graduation if I can't get a job. I'm already graduating late. I don't want anyone in my past to know what's going on in my life; I'm too ashamed. I've managed to cut all ties with my friends a few years ago to protect myself. If I can't get a decent job, I'll just work myself to the ground and make money to repay my parents who wasted money raising me. Outside I pretend to be fine but I feel completely broken.[/quote]

Choose what you'd like to do later on in life. I don't know about your institution, but most allow you to take 2 majors. Summer school and doing 5years instead of the standard 4years are also options you should consider. It's better to spend more time doing something so you don't regret not doing it in the future.
