The Not Happy Thread

My life has no direction. I'm 25 and have no idea where to go next.

Lets see if this 'getting it off your chest' thing works...

 

It's not always a bad thing to be directionless as it means you have options. Sometimes life snatches options away from you which is infinitely worse and harder to deal with.

I used to say to my dad "I'm bored!" and he said "Bored is good. When you grow up you'll realise why." It came true when things got really bad last year. I was thinking "God, why was I bored a few months ago! It was bliss!"

 

I just realized that my orgo chemistry exam on Tuesday is not, in fact, multiple choice. I am feeling very sick to my stomach right about now. I'm so distressed that I actually put the Super Bowl on mute because the screaming fans are frustrating me. I wish I could scream right now.

I am doing online homework problems, and the correct answers are the exact opposites of what I'm getting for my own work right now.

...Anyone want to tutor me? I feel miserable right about now. Probably going to pull an all nighter tomorrow night. But it's no big deal or anything... it's only worth 16% of my overall grade.

I feel so stupid; I cant do my coursework very well. In my defense, it's considered an extremely difficult class, but if that's the case, do I seem to only make friends with the geniuses who don't even have to study (and therefore aren't usually inclined to study with / at me)?

I only have to get through two more semesters of chemistry for my degree (this one, and my first sophomore semester), but still... it seems like so much.

 

I did not get to see the supper bowl this year again because the channel for it is telling me it does not have signal. Great, two years in a row I've missed the freaking game.

 

Merc, I would tutor you if I were any good...but I'm not. :/ Don't stress, though! Just keep studying and working hard, and I'm sure you'll do fine!

 

I sick...but it is just an annoying cold...not pancreatic cancer...so I am keeping it in perspective.

 

*hugs from a fellow sick person*

Hope you feel better soon.

 

Today a friend of mine left for Brazil. I won't see her for 6 months

 

I was right about when I'd get the email, but overslept. Finding a great spot moments before the alarm goes off sucks.

 

Your misfortune pleases me.

 

What misfortune?

I got more sleep.

 

God, please go do something useful.

 

Like posting and telling someone else to do something useful?

All I did was do as the thread asked. I did nothing wrong? What is your issue?

 

I'm 27, also have no idea where to go next. But I don't see that as a problem. Why does it have to be? What's wrong with just living, here, in the present?

Everyone's so obsessed with building a story for themselves, so that they can tell themselves the story and feel better about themselves when they're worried about whether they're adequate or if they're living the right way. "I have X number of accomplishments, I have X number of children, and I possess a good car and a good wife." But the only way you can ever know any of these things are true is by telling yourself the same old story, over and over again. You'll get tired of this anyway. And besides, no one will remember your story a few years after you're dead.

I like to just be alive; concerns for the future have stopped. Life's pretty much perfect, and it will all work itself out. And then I'll die. And that will be nice too.

 

Good post.

Be happy with yourself. Get to know yourself really well and when things happen you'll adjust and remain happy because you know yourself.

 

what

 

I think you guys should stop always picking on what J_Jammer says... it's the only thing I see all day long and I'm getting enough of it! You guys should just be banned or something.

The poor kid.

 

I said he had a good post.

 

In this case its not an uncommon practice within the Internet to ask 'what' or something similar when a post is awkwardly phrased and hard to understand. Its more of a statement as to asking for clarification really.

Actually I have only seen this happen on 2 different forums.

 

What is ambiguous, unless you specified what what means.

If I am to have to clarify, so should the whater.

it is not uncommon for those who ask "what" to be specific.

 

I was sick today, and also, the Not Happy Thread has more posts than the Happy Thread and that makes me not happy.

 

I think it might come from the first reaction one might have when they see a post like that.

besides its the Internet and its not exactly known for it's inhabitants for all being so precise in their posting.

 

Speak for yourself. I for one always make sure I'm precise when saying whatthemacallit to the thingimajig and the whatsit always responds to this gentle thingummy.

 

My apologies.

 

I was drenched in freezing rain today and I looked like a drowned rat.
