Stay on top of things and work it! If I were religious I would pray for you, but I'm not. So keep up the good work and make it happen. | ||

Now that I'm situated here at my new place, with next months rent already paid in advance. I feel a lot more content. My gf is totally jocking now that I have my own bachelor pad too, haha. She keeps pointing out how sexy I am. | ||

btw, why not get an external drive and some ripping software when you have some cash and then turn all of those DVDs into cash over craigslist or something? | ||

Illegal activities using the internet are like a surefire way to go to prison. For the record I do work hard once I start a task but when I'm on my own time I'm lazy as shit. | ||

I don't know if it is a cheaper knock off but a few of my posters fell off the wall. It's weird they stayed up for like a week and a half then just fell off. Then I reapplied and now they are staying. I don't think this stuff is meant to hold posters passed a certain weight. I got one of those really heavy duty thick glossy sc2 posters from Blizzcon and I don't even wanna try to put it up with this shit because regular sized paper posters aren't holding well. Even a little paper I tacked up fell off. | ||

j/k  . Hope things get better dude. I was lucky in a way to have the rough waters of my life when I was a lot younger and the experience was shared by my family so at least we had each other. In hindsight I'm glad life wasn't easy growing up, makes me appreciate it so much more now. | ||

How old are you, what education did you get (like what school did you visit)? Side note: Dump your GF if she's not supportive or at least nice. You need all the support you can get and should avoid people dragging you down. Side note 2: I know that being honest is the best thing, but if your GF asks you whether you think she's fat or not, try to make your point clear politely! EDIT: Spelling.. | ||

I believe in the statement that "it's not what you know, it's who you know", So if I do end up in a good job that I like, then maybe I'll go back to college for the career and move up in the company/field. | ||

Well, it's not all bad then. What particular thing did you dislike in college? Was it more the process of studying or rather the field of study? Because studies can differ enormously, I'd just take a look on some other field of study. Before choosing my field of study, I would just sit in the lectures of the university for half a day during a week (per field of study) usually. This gives you a small insight of how things are going to be. Eventually, I chose law and I am still happy with it. If you somehow can come to terms with going to college, you should do so, because eventually, you'll be glad you got such a good education. | ||

Even if I did settle into a field I would have to go here for like 2-4 years taking general ed, then transfer to a better school to finish off the rest of the degree. And most of the people I talk to always say shit like "I didn't need these classes to transfer even though they told me I did" or the degree changes and you need more classes or some fucking bullshit. Photo was way too expensive for a simple interest. Even with financial aid it doesnt cover the ridiculous costs of the books and film and camera and shit. I dropped it after 2 classes. Aviation Theory was cool, teacher was ghetto. Basically had no homework but learned a lot about it. Most of the people in the class were already in the field or whatever and were just taking it to meet goals for a certificate (like I would do). Pretty complicated field though and it seemed really stagnated. So I didn't wanna pursue anymore into it. Although I still wanna learn to fly a helicopter some day. Art 101 was very cool and fun but somewhat expensive and even though I am above average artist I don't see myself meeting deadlines for art in a company and stuff. I draw on my own time when I feel it, I can't force it. Plus I'm very critical of my work and I don't think I compare to a lot of the shit I see in mags like Juxtapose even for the specific styles of art I like (graffiti mostly). Art isn't really a good career to go after unless you are amazing at it imo. After that I took a couple more art classes, like Freehand drawing, and Graphic design class with adobe photoshop. The freehand was cool but expensive (like the first) and the teacher was a douche and dropped me half way through the class because there was some basic shading project that we had to have done that I completed but was too unclean around the actual shading so he gave it an F or something. Learned how to draw left handed and without looking at the paper or lifting pen to get some cool results. The Graphic Design class was a joke, teacher was annoying and young and didn't seem to know how to teach. It was literally impossible for me to sit there and listen to her ramble. Plus I hate photoshop and it didn't help that they used macs. and they wanted you to pay all these lab fees and shit. So I dropped the class. How can I be a graphic designer if I hate the main program? I hate drawing on computer. I also took a few other general ed classes like some 1850-1920 US History class, and a Speech class (which was really interesting).And another Art 102 Freehand drawing class, but somehow I didn't register properly so the credits wouldn't have counted, so I dropped them. The Art 102 teacher fucked me over as well. He told me to go get a (I forget what they are called) paper so that I could come in and sit on the first and second days of the class to hope to get a seat when people drop it. And When I came back he said it was the wrong form (even though he had signed it earlier) and that it was too late now. Fucking old piece of shit douchebag. So that ended my college life. PS- Another major factor for me not trying to keep at college was that financial aid only covers you if you take a full load of classes. And it doesn't cover supplies you need to buy for classes. Plus it takes like 6 months or something to process and I would have to pay out of pocket (actually my older sister's pocket) until it kicked in. The whole thing just seemed like a scam to me. Also, I didn't wanna end up like so many (including my sister's husband) who go to law school for 6 + years and then get in a law firm and find out they hate their job. What a waste. | ||
