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!

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.
You can also find me on Twitter if you want to be inundated with my horrid opinions off the forums, too!
i've been finding almost all my books online so far
our hallmates are screaming, I hate these people so much
What!?!?!
SO JEALOUS!!!!!
Just
You know, art supplies
Easily over $500 of art supplies, every semester. Some breaking $1000
Ha ha ha ha
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!
the RA is gone, she's never here
fuck.
?
i thought you had worked shit out with your professors and what not
what happened
i can't go back til Spring 2013 at earliest. i'm going to talk to my advisor via phone and see if i can fix it but i don't think i can.
fuck it. fuck it all. i can't do it.
hey
it's going to be alright
everything is going to seem awful for a while but it's going to be alright
I promise it really is
wont get through school
wont transition
will be alone
i'm a fuckup, that's the long and short of it
maybe a break will be a good thing.
You have all the time in the world to start again. Nothing is over.

Do you typically have an RA on duty?
Contact their superiors?
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
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.
feelin' good re: monstrous exam in under four weeks
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.)
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
thanks eddy
if i felt like i could leave safely i would but i dont think i can
i'm just too anxious and afraid of the unknown
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.
just making a statement spurred by the line of conversation
you're on a growing list of volunteers
i'm king of the dad-fighters
Ah, sorry. I misinterpreted the tone of your post, then.
You just give the word.
like i said, lots of pride
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
Evil Reaver, JD.
Booyeah.
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.
