AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I'm dropping out of college for a while because of the cost of it and I'm kinda stressed out because I haven't told anyone yet except a few friends and I don't want people disappointed in me.

Dude, it's important to take life at your own pace. It's okay if something didn't work out, that's just how life goes. College will still be there when and if you decide to go back. And in the meantime you can figure out a new plan for how YOU want to live. Try not to worry too much about what others will think, it's not their life.

This sounds kinda like generic life advice but I think it's important for you to know that life doesn't always go as planned and that's no reason to feel down or anxious about it. I've absolutely been there (I still kinda am there).

And with any luck, there might be some legislature passed by the time you go back, so that it's not such a financial gamble to begin with.

Thanks, I needed to hear this. Along with it being too expensive for me, I just don't think I was ready for college. I'm doing fine in my classes, but being on my own and stuff is harder than I thought it would be, plus I've found out I'm not as extroverted as I thought I was because I'm not used to the people here.

I was just kinda pressured into going into college immediately because I've always done well on standardized tests and was basically told that I should go to college by all of my teachers. I remember my guidance counselor got onto me because I didn't take any college classes in high school. She assumed it was because I was lazy, when really it was just because I had no reliable means of attending the classes.

Plus, as much as I like messing around with computers, I don't think I'd really enjoy majoring in computer science, so I need some time off to reconsider what I really want to even do with my life. I've already been thinking of different alternatives. So far the one I like the most, but is the one I'm most likely to not be successful at, is I'm considering joining Americorps for a year and doing some volunteer work in Chicago, and at the same time I can try my hand at stand up comedy (something I've always wanted to do, but no where to perform here). Even if the comedy thing didn't work out, I would still end up with a year's worth of community service, which will look nice on future applications.



I'm also really hoping for this, but I'm doubtful anything will really change that much.

"This game's localized script has a MEME! GOD, game localizations are ALWAYS such GARBAGE! I'm going to equate this to things like the Prison School dub rewrite and act as if it's the same thing to prove my point!"
Yeah you're real cool, writing angry screeds about a few words in a videogame
Sorry the localization team isn't a bunch of fun-hating translator robots like you want it to be

(For the record I admit I've been mildly bothered by things such as "xe" in Gunvolt so call me a hypocrite I guess)

Apparent daily to do list for brass players:

1) warm up as loudly as possible in the stairwell
2) eat lunch in the practice rooms, making it so four people can't actually practice, but claim that you need the piano for homework so you don't get kicked out.
3) leave doors open during AT MINIMUM three ensemble rehearsals, so that the hallway is never quiet enough to focus on written work, now that the other third of the brass players are taking up practice rooms that they may or may not actually be using.
4) if you are a First trumpet, be as much of a condescending dick as you possibly can. If you are third or lower, pretend you have no spine, or that you desperately want to be the First trumpet douche. Trombones and seconds are permitted to act as regular humans.
5) always run over your rehearsal slot by at least ten minutes, and then glare at the lowly woodwinds or unfortunate pianist that happened to intrude the ONE TIME that you actually closed the door.

Thank the lord I was a second trumpet and need not incur your wrath Riku Sama

Ohp, sorry, should have specified that this is just the people at my school. Because hot dang, do we have A TON OF INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE AUGH.

i reconstructed a (really, really horribly smashed) skull last night and now my fingertips have so much glue on them i can't feel anythinggggg

haha 's all good. Our first trumpet was also a pretty self absorbed dude. The REAL stuck up peeps were them flutists lemme tell ya

That is definitely a thing too. But their inconsiderateness is more in scheduling and cattiness, instead of obtrusiveness.

Our first trumpets weren't really douches(save for one guy), more just that they didn't give a shit about anything. When I was on first, I was pretty bitchy for like a month and everyone hated it, so I realized that was pretty dumb.

I was gonna say, "Oi! My sis played flute!" but, yeah you're kinda right.

If you ever want to know what a rabbit being throttled for an hour straight might sound like, please come to my house and use the clothes dryer.

The fuckin GMail app on my phone deleted one of the drafts I was working on and now I have to type it all up again

It wasn't that long but it was kinda personal so now I have to like, organize my thoughts/feelings again
