FAILURE

MiracleManS

So, I'm pretty sure, by like 90%, that I'm not going to graduate because I managed to be diagnosed with a mental disorder about 2/3 of the way through the semester and didn't do anything at all for those couple weeks.

In all honesty, lets not care. What have you failed in SE++? Did anyone else fail to graduate by like, 2 credits?

Edit: I've been drinking so lets all drink to celebrate failure.

I failed at boning your mom. I'm sorry but she was too damn ugly.

Mosana

Wrench N Rockets

Unfortunately my mother is dead...which is why you failed. She's in a jar on the mantle at my house.

I will be honest, I had 0 goals, I'm here to make my family happy.

Kuribo's Shoe

Are you like...retarded or something?

I succeeded at not caring about this thread


Shit, I'm doing wrong

Candlemass

Nope, don't think so. At this point I'm pretty well on my way to graduation as I finish my sophmore year.

I failed to not be gassy this morning.

You failed at setting correct priorities, and acting in your own interest.

This is not H/A but, I guess... I mean I'm here to make everyone else happy at the moment. I mean, I don't dislike the idea of a degree. I just dislike computer science. I like philosophy, which is what I'm not doing. The funniest part is, I think my mom would say "Whoa dude...do something you like already"


Edit: This is why I posted this here. I like the responses. It makes me chuckle and know there are other assholes out there like me.

What is MiracleManS Alex?

mrpaku

if you don't like computer science, then actively working towards a lifetime goal which will most likely make you miserable could probably lead to the kind of existential crisis which would cause one to flake out and flunk

time to go out in the jungle and do some peyote and get your head on right

So, you decided to dedicate all of your time and energy to making everyone else happy, and are at all surprised that you are now unhappy?

I agree about the existential crisis, but that was solved by the lovely readings of the following:

Ayn Rand
Nietzsche
Jean Paul Sartre

Really, I wrote a paper for my philosophy class uniting the three ethical threads of these philosophers into a concise and otherwise pertinent ethical ethos.

GSM

I just did rather poorly on a a Java class final.

Probably didn't study enough.

My bad.

Hunter

Don't feel bad MiracleManS, the world needs ditch diggers too.

Jazz Samurai

This is kind of funny to witness.

No, just used to the whole filial piety thing. I was taught it all my life and now its coming back to bite me in the ass.

and it probably felt pretty good since it's something you're interested in, right?

now you should be fine until you come to the realization that the world really doesn't need more philosophers and no one is looking for a guy with a philosophy degree

But that's the whole point of computer science. It's fun, to a point. And there are enjoyable things you can do with it. But those things can't be done to make money. So you get a job where you use the skill to make money, and a hobby where you use the skill to enjoy the skill.

People who want to be/do useful majors sure do have it better than people who want to be/do useless majors.

Well, it's not so much that I want just a philosophy degree, I'd really like my doctorate...after I entertain fancies of being some sort of musician and otherwise retard. Honestly, I just want to enjoy whats left of my twenties, torture myself in my thirties, hate myself in my forties, destroy my liver in my fifties, and die in my sixties. Is that so much for a person with an interest in existential philosophy to ask?

t shoe- because I'm not that smart.

Oh, so a thread in which we wallow in our own failings is good, but a thread that's unabashedly about success gets locked?

Let's take over this thread with JOY!

Sheri

I don't fail at things a lot

I also don't try new things a lot, so that could be why.

I uh, I fail at drinking, I guess.

TankHammer

I held up a re-election sign for a friend of my family's who was running for Selectman of our town. Not only did he manage to not win re-election but he just found out he has cancer in his liver, lung and lymph nodes.

I guess that was a pretty epic fail in campaigning huh?

Ok, this thread is now about feeling shitty about feeling bad.

I just bombed a job interview that Callius so graciously set up for me. I hope I didn't make him look bad with his bosses and junk. Man, I hate job interviews.
