Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    You have no idea.

    for real

    I've gone down in how much I've paid for books through this year. Got off with like $60 in books for this term.
    Supplies and materials for art class though, christ those are gonna be breaking the bank. At least we get a lot of supplies... supplied to us for our projects, basic lumber and fiberboard and shit.

    My girlfriend takes a lot of art classes too, and I've gone with her to the art supply stores a few times. I can't believe how much that stuff ends up costing!

    would it make you feel any better to say that i'm in basically the same position with school

    except i've already finished 6+ years of college

    I'm going to make it through it and I am going to graduate with the degree I want, hell or high water

    You're gonna finish your transition, you're going to feel right with the world

    you'll meet not one but several people to love and care for you

    the world is full of fuck ups

    but that hasn't stopped anyone of us.

    this part for real

    i used to think i was doomed to be alone

    this was about the same time i had a breakdown that lasted about two years, including a part that i straight up don't remember, there's just a couple of months missing

    but i made some rad friends who literally saved my life and met buttlady and life is better because i know that no matter what i got people who got my back

    you'll find those people

    and i mean i'm a colossal fuck up

    if you want i can describe in detail how the last four years of my life have been squandered

    but you just gotta keep on truckin and pick yourself up and try something else

    I'm so sorry to hear it Anti :( feel free to text me girl, kay?

    The break could be very good for you. I'm pretty much doing that voluntarily for next year. It still sucks but I'm in no position to squander my money by staying, it is a chance to reorganize yourself without the pressures of school.

  • MadEddyMadEddy Registered User regular
    I am done with college. Finally. Now I get to move back in with my parents and look for a job. :/

    And @Antimatter, I know I don't know you but is it an option to live with family or friends who don't suck while you get your stuff straightened out? From what you've said here and in the beauty thread, your dad sounds like a right asshole, at any rate, and it sucks that you have to go back to a shitty home situation. (Sorry if it's none of my business. You just kind of bring out my angry big sister instincts and I want to punch someone in the face for you.)

    i would live on the streets

    and die in a fucking gutter

    before i would ever crawl back home to mommy or daddy

    but i'm a fiercely proud person

    admittedly to a fault

    Man, I moved out eight years ago. They can deal with me long enough for me to get my medical shit dealt with and find a job. I medically can't do what I was going to do right now (contractor in Afghanistan), so I'm scrambling to change tack and I'm not ashamed of that. You can't eat pride.



    And Anti, okay, but just let me know if you need someone punched in the face.

    I once heard this analogy from a friend and I'm probably going to bungle it but

    You see your walls crumbling and filled with debris and you think you're weak, like a shed of sticks that got hit by a bowling ball. But really you've endured so much, endured tougher situations than regular people face. You're like a concrete bunker that got smashed by a tank division, but you're still standing.

    You can do it

    You're strong enough

    I bungled up my first year in college and got dismissed from it. I felt like shit at the time.

    At another point I signed up too late for classes and ended up doing nothing for a semester. Felt like shit then too.

    Now I'm one more semester away from my bachelor's. So things turned out more or less alright.
