Hello all you wonderful folks of the eSports persuation!

I'm feeling extremely under the weather right now, trying to deal with starting at the university where I really don't feel like I fit in with the people here. I basically hoped to be able to spend most of my time hanging out at the university, since we have this place specifically made for socializing and studying. However, as it turns out, it's really fucking boring. And I mean skullsgrindingly boring to be up there. There's simply not enough room, so you're cramped and not really encouraged at all to socialize. Furthermore, I have a hard time finding friends to hang out with.

I am a weird kid, I have no doubt about it. There are some types of people that I scare away, mainly the popular kids. Now, in high-school-equivalent, this was not a problem for me at all. I was in what was probably the most tightly knit classes in our year and I found some great friends. I could just not give a fuck about all the people who didn't like me and let that be done for. At school parties I would just hang out far away from the music and talk with all the other people who had also taken refuge down there. I had a great time.

Now I need to give fucks. I need to hand out fucks big time to the people I'm spending time with. I really want to fit in, I really want to feel happy taking classes at uni. I just miss someone I don't get exhausted from even just talking to. I really miss not feeling like I'm at the wrong end of the firing range every day when I poke my head out of the door.

Not to worry though. I'll be fine, I honestly believe that. I have a really hard time dealing with the darkness of the danish winter (swedes, norwegians, canadians and russians can laugh now :D), so I know that I'm feeling way worse than I will in a couple of months. Furthermore, I still have the option of choosing another field to study where I'll fit more in. I live in a dorm with a lot of engineers, and they seem like a friendly bunch. Maybe I'll go that way. CS is open too. Point is, I'm not done for, I just feel down.

So this is my request: What do you guys do, watch or hear when you're feeling really down? Anything will do. Great songs, things to do, food to cook, funny youtube videos, you name it. Anything that makes you feel happy. Hopefully we can walk away from this depressing freaking rant a little happier.

MERRY LIQUIDIANS OF THE NAVY. CHARGE THE ION CANNONS. PAYLOAD: HAPPINESS

After a grueling semester, I sat on the bus and thought things over while listening to this song. It helped me realize that the worst was behind me, and that now I had a chance to move on and progress. I could just fall asleep thinking of the fuzzy atmosphere of being home.

I play guitar. It's like having your best friend talk to you sometimes, it's really amazing. There's an article in TL Knowhow if you wanna pick it up ^_^ (self promotion yay)

In general, it's good to do something that really requires focus, as it will take your mind off things, and at the same time is rewarding. When i was younger i used to paint Warhammer miniatures and that was pretty good too.

Hey dude, when my day needs lightening up I do it with music. there's some music that I just can't listen to without a smile on my face.

Here are two of my favourites.

you can ignore the religious aspect, that's entirely a coincidence. I'm jewish and these are still two of my favourite happy jams.

Thank you, all the music really helped. God do I ever love the wonder of orchestra.

I actually do play guitar. It's just that I sort of stopped playing as much, with all the actually moving to a place of my own taking up my time. I need to get back to it. I recognise feeling really at peace when playing it, and when I do pick it up the loneliness most often just goes away. I wish I could play in a band...

You guys are amazing.

hhmmm
I play some drums, thats always great fun.
I also play music far far far too loud and tidy my room, just cause it feels good to be simultaneously hyped from loud music and happy with getting something vaguely productive done.

The music I play though isn't necessarily happy though, just loud banging hip hop where I know all the world perfectly and feel awesome for getting all the lyrics right.
Numero uno choice for banging hip hop:



doesn't get more energetic or better than that
