Emo indeed. You just totally reminded me of an earlier thread discussion I had.
Joke aside, you sir are one fucked up guy. But hey, at some level we’re all fucked up– some more than others. So, don’t let it get to you. I’m like you in a sense. I failed my second freshman semester due to a skiing accident and overall laziness and complacency, and now I have to prove myself to my university that I’m worth the investment by spending time at another college with a grade minimum to get back in. And I have to remake the classes I failed in. Talk about tough luck, you and I, but the difference being is that I work hard, and you mentioned yourself that you don’t. You know what I say to that? Suck it up, and work harder because you only get few chances in life to redeem yourself, then you start slipping down that road of decay and decadence. I’ve been on it; you’re going through it, so take my words for real. Your dad’s right though, a degree is the most important thing you can get, especially during this recession as the financial market is doing pretty badly. You also have a part-time job – good for you. Now let’s tackle the issues one by one:
1. Your grades: My advice? You obviously study what’s given to you straight from the professor’s mouth. That’s a no-no and you should be studying more than that and go over the textbook chapters that you know will be on the exam. Just because you don’t think the professor doesn’t say it out loud doesn’t mean he/she won’t test you on it. It also depends on the personality of the professor. As for boring subjects, well tough shit. Most subjects you study in college are bound to be boring, but that does not mean you should give up. To succumb to your inability to cope with current education methods is like saying the system is breaking you. Don’t let it.
2. Your social life: Your EQ/social skills suck and I can tell that you’re a kind of guy who doesn’t make friends easy. But you know what? It’s easy to know people with their names, but harder to comprehend someone you do know. If you seem out of sorts around social events, then don’t force yourself to go. Do what you want to do, but I must remind you that to have a successful college career, you’ll need study mates at the very least to help you go through your studies, and that should be the most important that you need to focus on in terms of social activity. And as for crying, I’ve cried myself when I felt down and out. Just do it privately and sparingly. You don’t wanna become a crybaby, do ya?
3. Your sexual orientation: You gave us quite a bit of info there, perhaps more than we needed to know. In any case, I pose a question: do you fap to hentai girls, or boys? And to be honest, it can take years for people to realize their true gender preference, even if I don’t believe in same-sex marriages. Coming-out-of-the-closet stories are as common as hentai with ass-rape in them. In consideration of what you believe to be going insane, throw all thoughts of romance out of your head. I mean it because studying should be your number one priority, mister I-failed-my-subjects-because-I-didn’t-prepare-enough-for-the-exams. Do you really have the time and money to worry about whether you’re gay (which you clearly are, unless there’s something else to consider) or whether you like these aging men? If you stopped and think what you should do with your life, getting out of college with a degree on your diploma is the most important thing to secure a money-making job. Love and sex and all that can be romanced upon later. Hell, I don’t got a girlfriend, but if can masturbate to quality h-material, I’m set. I know that I’ll meet my angel one day, but studying is more important now.
I personally think your predilection towards older men is disgusting, but people also think that my predilection for bondage is also disgusting. Whatever. And to be honest, when I read the paragraph regarding your love of older men, I reacted with a frown and a shake of head. I was surprised that I didn’t react more negatively. If you’re feeling crazy, then put that crazy to studying, or working out. Working out/exercising is a wonderful way to lose the stress and develop a healthier body at the same time. If the body rots, the mind rots, and your mind is clearly rotting. Time to get moving, and it’s time you’ve stopped assessing your losses and think about what you can do than what you can’t. Life doesn’t wait for anyone. I hoped this was of some help.
