I got all dressed up and shit in a suit for an interview only to be told they rescheduled for monday
Tho at least i have more time to prep
Yeah, on that topic I've been to three interviews for jobs recently and none of them got back to me despite me feeling I did really well, one of those interviewers even said they'd call us all and tell us WHY we didn't get in if we didn't succeed, but nope, nothing. :rolleyes:

Usually a week or two after an interview you can (and should) follow up with them.
Hell I followed up with two people I applied with and both emailed back saying "shit sorry for falling behind." and got interviews with them next monday.
Taking the initiative will really shine.
There's no incentive for an employer to hurry along and fast track you for anything, you're on their time and they know it. Not only will taking initiative make you stand out sometimes it's the only way to get what you want.
Too many people I know are unhappy with their work circumstances but when I ask what they've done about it they say they had one talk with a manager and said manager said they'd sort them out, I can tell you that 90% of the time "Yeah I'll look into it" actually means "ok stop talking to me"
I had a pretty good day today, I learned to make Pastalitos at school, got a milkshake with my grandma, and went to a painting night at a local game store.
Turned out mom got some sushi at the store, and knowing how much I love sushi she saved half for me.
On my most immediate interview, I sent a follow up email about an hour after the interview thanking him for the interview, and addressing talking points to make evident the fact I was heavily invested in what he had to say
It sounds like a cheesy recommendation but obviously I would suggest it, because it worked for me.
Oh man, I've been going to bed on time at night but still become a tired mess at midday, I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I should go to bed even earlier or something?

pretty much this. a book i've been reading to prep for interviews said that it's always a good idea to send a thank you email the same day or the day after the interview. it should also reiterate some of your strong points as well
Last year I went to two interviews for the company I work for now just in another branch and somhow I failed them. I'm not sure why they'd reject me even though I've already got 3 years of experience working for that company so I'd know exactly what I'm doing.

You might not be drinking enough water. Dehydration mimics exhaustion.
I bought some music. One of them was "Hell, Curse & Chapter". Bought it sight unseen because I liked the name.
It's good.

Oh man, I'm pretty sure that's it. I've been super dehydrated these days, so thank you!

And make sure it's a drink with actual electrolytes in it. Walmart water won't help.

It's what the plants crave.
I have anxieties about eating in front of others and cooking/making food in front of others. My new living arrangements make both nearly unavoidable and I haven't eaten in 24 hours and I don't know what to do at all
in an odd way it's kind of hilarious how every time I have some slight stress in my life, my first reaction is to starve myself
I do this every time

Shit man, me too. But mine is slightly less about other people and more about the actual action of eating. I now have a super sensitive gag reflex. I can make myself throw up just by thinking about it. It used to be so much worse but I've gotten some degree of control now.
Social situations and food are an annoying combination. Add this fear of throwing up while eating to my reactive hypoglycemia and it's a recipe that destroyed my social life.
Best advice I can offer is to find a cognitive behavioral therapist. You have a specific phobia that can be reversed with some effort. It's very scary, but exposure is the most effective way to get rid of it. You're essentially going to talk yourself through the situation until you've done it enough times that you start to realize the fear is nonsense. You have to be tough about it though, you can't give in and bail out on the situation because that reinforces the avoidance.
woke up this morning, still don't feel good enough to eat and yet I'm horrifically hungry. Oh and the shower doesn't heat up beyond freezing.
yay me.

Start with a really small amount of something, like a corner of a piece of bread or half a granola bar
I finally got around to cutting my nails.
There is nothing but the feeling of pure ecstasy.
I'm also far too socially incompetent to even talk to my new roommates or become friends or anything
such is life
try and find something you have in common with them, it's a start

I tried to make conversation about the shitty showers earlier. Turns out I was just using the damn thing wrong and the whole thing made me feel like an absolute retard.

Conversations like that are a lot more pleasant if you can learn to laugh off small stuff like that. That might not be easy though if you have anxiety problems or similar issues.

I try but it was a little bit more at my expense than I'm accustomed to.
Nothing wrong with using the shower wrong, you're not an absolute retard for that
I bought a manual 03 accord for pretty cheap
It’s nice and manual is fun but i suck at driving it
I really don't want to ever get a car, honestly. at least not here in jacksonville. drivers are totally terrible here and I fear for my life at night or during rush hour because 90% of the people I see are complete idiots who can't even use a turn signal to save their life.

The southeastern driving experience in a nutshell. Except for Atlanta, those drivers must be a collective intelligence b/c not only do they use their blinkers but merge/change lanes like its second nature for them.
Having pubic hair is such a pain sometimes, I hate that shit getting all itchy.
two words: shaving cream
