[QUOTE=Shark Bones;43040098]Harvard costs an unholy shitload of money. That's why you don't hear about people from poor families going there.[/QUOTE] Isn't that true for like, most of the top-of-the-line universities like MIT and stuff

[QUOTE=Reagy;43040123]The US education system really does appear to involve either you/parents being fucking minted or your ability to suck dick to get good grades.[/QUOTE] You're also talking as if universities don't want you in unless you have good grades, they're a business after all, they'd let you in whether or not you're rich or poor, just as long as you have the grades and can pay the money through loans or just being rich. Loans exist too, you just need to make sure you have career prospects and work hard to get a good degree so you can pay it off easily, so like, don't do art history or something.

[QUOTE=Teto;43038627]I'm going to keep chasing ideals until I realise what my real limits are as a person.

Well, college or not, I plan to just have a sort of room mates for life situation. Find people who want to be around me and vice versa. I don't know about any of you, but I can live with a polyamorous relationship with others. I just need to find other open minded people. That's all I want in life. To be surrounded by those that love me and I love in return, everyone equally.

Anywho, I don't think I could truly live with more than one person if anyone at all. It's bad enough I live with my mum and even though I love her dearly, I just can't stand to be occupying a house with another person.

Well everyone is different. I try to make others feel more comfortable by altering how I act and talk around them. I enjoy making others feel better when I can, so now I basically dedicate myself to doing what I can to help others. Be it friends, family, or random people, I do what I can to help them until they are satisfied. To a reasonable extent though. Probably has to do with how I want to be nothing like my father who is only about himself and his needs. So I try to be as helpful and friendly to others as possible. Even people who dislike me. I try to treat everyone equally, regardless of who they are.

I love living with people that I care about (and who reciprocate this), regardless of how many there are, but I could never just randomly go live with someone from a Roommate Wanted ad or something

I'd never want to live with my friends because I don't want to get sick of seeing them everyday.

Actually, they provide really good scholarships if you actually get in, from what I heard but I don't listen to things very often, so I'm probably wrong

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;43038212]I know exactly how you feel. When I dropped out I had straight As and was doing great then the wave of anxiety and depression (to name 2 feelings) would come over me and I'd be unable to concentrate and could barely function.[/QUOTE] Anxiety and depression is the worst, especially when you try to explain it to people. They seem to think you can just "Get rid of it, start thinking happy thoughts" Fuck those people

My brain has decided for whatever reason that this week is going to be a very good week. It's probably bullshit but don't be wrong brain please :v:

[QUOTE=Zeke129;43040620]I love living with people that I care about (and who reciprocate this), regardless of how many there are, but I could never just randomly go live with someone from a Roommate Wanted ad or something[/QUOTE] That's what I mean. I would need to know who it is first before deciding to live with them. I'd also need to know that they'd want to live with me for an extended period of time. A community of people like this might be hard to find, but a few people in a house would be fine with me. I don't need much space nor private space. I rather be as open as possible so people won't feel uncomfortable around one or another.

My brother got fired from work. So my parents suggest I find another job to screw the boss over for firing him. Yeah, tell me to drop a well paying job I do barely anything at and get decent hours at because my brother got himself fired. Good plan idiots.

[QUOTE=Reagy;43041696]That's stupid of both them and him. His problem not yours.[/QUOTE] I do my job well, and recently was told as such by another worker that the boss was satisfied with me. On the other hand my brother did nothing, made a rather large mistake because he is oblivious, and got himself put off and doesn't give a shit in the slightest. Man must be my fault he did it or something so I should be punished right. They really want me to quit a perfect first job out of spite.

You just need to know how different liquids act with one another. Vodka is lighter than lemonade which is lighter than grenadine. Of course, grenadine is basically syrup.

I miss the days in which Christmas was good.

[QUOTE=jp_rsardeto;43041777]I miss the days in which Christmas was good.[/QUOTE] You're growing up.

I wish I wasn't growing up...

[QUOTE=Shark Bones;43039220]They don't do that in America. There are no requirements for taking a class besides being able to pay for it.[/QUOTE] I'm taking ENG 201 and PHI 101 next semester - technical writing and critical thinking. Both require ENG 101 (college writing) beforehand, and getting through ENG 101 isn't always easy. This is from a community college student.

Christmas is still cool imo. Or maybe I'm already on the other side of the "Christmas sucks now" phase, but just can't remember it. I can't think of any year where I thought it was rubbish. It's only bad when people are falling out, which tbh actually always happens, but despite that it's good. My family aren't bad for falling out and it never gets to the kinds of drama you hear about from other people in this thread, but it's still unpleasant regardless. The only way that Christmas is getting any worse for me is that it used to be a whole family thing, but one of my brothers is in Greece, married, and the other down south spending Christmas with his fiancee and her family. So it's without them this Christmas. Which is fine too, because both of them get pretty stressed and just serve to tense up the atmosphere sometimes. Not to say they won't be missed though. Both my brothers are like 10 years older than me so it's like they're almost half-brothers, but not. Strange indescribable sense of familiarity, fondness, and distance at the same time. Most irritating thing about growing up is that I don't really feel all that grown up, or capable of participating in grown up sort of activities. I still feel like a shy emotionally stunted 15 year old somewhere deep down. If it wasn't for that then maybe it'd be alright.

How old are you?

It's probably the reason why I didn't have any friends when I was down in uni, and it... bothers me. I joined clubs, tried to get out there, and yet nothing. Man, I feel down now.

Christmas is usually just annoying for me these days, because it's the time when my parents feel the need to push their religion on everyone near them the most. "Don't say happy holidays, Jesus died for your right to say merry Christmas."
