You know, I've never taken shit. Like nothing. not even vitamins.
And then, I found out I was going to Afghanistan in like 2 months, so I started p90x, and started with Muscle Milk. My plan was to slim down a bit and tone, but no, i packed on 6 pounds the first week, 5 pounds the next week, after that I'm like, "fuck, I don't even meet the weight standard now, i don't want to have to be taped." so I stopped. |

so it's like 2 am here and i havent seriously posted on brbu for a while i suppose but fuck it hello again i am thinking about my life
If you ever read that book "Ordinary People" about that kid whose brother died and he tried to commit suicide but lives and it's all about him trying to get back into his normal life after such a big fucking deal like that. Everything in that book matches my life pretty much exactly except for attempted suicide and the dead brother thing (which is why its a good book and not a fucking journal). One of his parents is so disconnected with him that they actually go through the other parent in order to talk most of the time, unless its about serious shit that they have to confront. The other is so worried about their child and protective of him after what has happened that they practically smother him. The kids story is that he was a very smart, normal kid his whole childhood up until high school or so and his grades dropped from basically all A's to barely passing (sometimes not passing) and he's so overwhelmed by it because he's never had to face these kind of problems before because he's never had them so he tries to avoid all his problems by offing himself. (Some of that might not be exactly right i didn't really read the whole book heh.) Just in case you think this is like my suicide note or some shit don't worry i'm not (if you're a huge cunt sorry to disappoint). I'm not a scared little shit who scars his friends and family for life because he's too big of a bitch to deal with it. But besides that his life matches mine pretty exactly. My parents and my life are the same as his. Naturally, since this is kind of embarrassing I usually lie about what i'm here to talk about. Freshman year I failed English I and my overall gpa was a 1.39. Despite popular beliefs none of that is because i'm stupid. Last year I took the practice act and for english i was in the 90th percentile. English is an easy fucking class (to be honest im surprised i failed it even with my horrible horrible habits). The reason my grades are so fucking awful is because I am without a doubt the laziest son of a bitch that I have ever known. It use to be just a joke to me but it's quickly dawning on me that I am throwing everything away so I can spend more time doing nothing. Even with a 4.0 for the next 3 years the best overall gpa i can get is a 3.3. I use to blame it all on my parents but it's not my moms fault that the bitch who took custody of my step-sisters decided to drop them on her and my dad the moment they turned 13 and started becoming a problem. My sisters both did complete shit in school and my parents and them get along so badly that i see them maybe once a year if i'm lucky. The truth is my parents never had the chance to raise a kid into adolescence, just to fear the day that they become one. I love my parents I wouldn't change them for the world. No, it's my fault that this happened. I stopped giving a shit about my future so I could play video games all day. I don't even have any hobbies other than that. Not at all. I mean I guess jeff got me into Water Polo but fuck if i take that seriously (sorry jeff). Right now I want to become an Anthropologist because Religion is pretty cool to learn about, but last year it was Neurology and before that it was law. I have no meaningful thing in my life and there's nothing I have that keeps me on the right track. Maybe I'm just being stupid, and all it takes is a little god damn willpower. Maybe this won't make any sense because honestly I feel like im already asleep. It doesn't matter because I just needed to get it off my chest somewhere. Thanks for giving me a place to put this even if you don't want to read it, I'm gonna listen to some more jams. Also i'm not writing a tl;dr because if you're just gonna be a shithead about it don't bother (which will probably be the natural reaction) |

I was the exact same way in high school, passing classes if I was lucky, failing them otherwise, but rocking on the ACT. I was even the same way with my future plans. One year I wanted to own my own DvD shop, the next I wanted to be a policeman; one year I even wanted to be a priest. What I'm getting at is this: It might seem like shit now, but eventually that kinda stuff straightens itself out. You'll find something you're passionate about, and you stick with it through the years. Hang in there, kiddo. HULKMANIA'S RUNNIN' WILD, BROTHER! |

A 3.3 GPA is still averaging a C+ to B- average, which is actually a bit above the national average if I remember correctly. Here's my advice regarding your motivation problems:
Life is what you make of it, and if you put in a little effort, you might just get something out of it. I wish you success turtle, make sure never to lose sight of what's important. |

it seems like every time i go out and drink i come home and get depressed. i really don't think i'm introverted too much, and it's not that i don't like drinking. I really think it's that i haven't been able to pick up a chick every time i go out. i know that i'm not like super attractive but i'm at least average and i'm not a huge fucking jerk. whatever i guess maybe i should just give up on caring. there's always porn i guess.
it's just kinda hard to give a shit about life when you don't have anything to care for or believe in. i'm not going to be a part of anything important in my life and if i dissapeared now no one would fucking notice. lifting makes me feel good but it's just damn hard to motivate myself sometimes. tuttle i'll read your message tomorrow or somethign when my head isn't spinning.

(11-24-2011, 02:36 AM)Turtle link Wrote: hard to decipher wall of text You need to figure out a way of turning your unproductive not-giving-a-shit-while-still-giving-a-shit attitude into something that works. Homework and studying first, vidya games later. Beating the shit out of a tough test because you studied for it and getting a great grade in a class feels better than anything in a video game. When I got low on motivation in high school, what pushed me to do well was the desire to beat all the other fucks. That may or may not work for you, but you need to figure out a way to get yourself to do well and to push yourself. Be efficient rather than lazy; Karth's tips are pretty good for that. As far as the specifics of your future, don't worry about that. Just get your GPA up and you'll be fine even if you don't have a 4.0. Making the best of shitty experiences makes for much better college application essays than the generic crap most people write, especially if the changes in your grades match your story. Just don't decide to become a film major. Edit: Holy fuck it's 4AM. :-\

But, you have to get your diploma if you want to even think about making money. And remember, money equals happiness in our society. and bitches. seriously, buckle down and graduate so you don't have to drag that period of your life out longer. also, i'm a lazy fuck too, but cut that shit out. no one wants to hire a sloth. get your ass in gear and fuck bitches make money. be a badass and buy a motorcycle and take roadtrips with me. life is bitchin if you make it that way.

In a similar vein, I'm doin my college apps, early on I was sure of Majoring in Computer engineering but then I started to love MechE and then I realized, I really love being a very general engineer with stuff (e.g. in robotics I hate working a single type of job for too long). So now here I am applying with MechE or Undecided Engineering where possible, looking at all the clubs available at schools I'm applying to and realizing that with all I hope to do, I am not going to have enough time for it all.

Engineering is intense but you'll be able to be as involved with clubs and stuff as you like, so don't worry about it. |

>mfw I realized last summer was my last fully being a kid summer since I'm probably taking up a 40 hour a week internship this time. I mean the pay will be nice and the type of work will look good, but damn.

Seeing how many graphical instances of TF2 my PC could run when I overloaded the breaker for this room. The fuck kind of apartment uses 15A for every circuit?! My primary PSU pulls 12A for gods sake.
Best part? Looks like O&O was defragging in the background and some system files were in the middle of being moved or something, all I can get now is BSOD's At least I know I can run (at least) 5 copies of TF2 if I need to. |
