And they all have the ability to move out on their own. If they're stupid or lazy that's their fault. They have the same capabilities to move out on their own as a 40 year old person. Once again no one is forcing them to live there.

And the whole forum gets trolled. From Slash's own words, never take anyone on the internet seriously.

... when SecondClass derails the thread and gets it locked.

Can you just ban him instead because he's received plenty of warning already. If I don't get warnings, he shouldn't either.

My two cents.

But I still have three long days (Friday to Sunday) that I have all to myself with no real commitments for. They say that's when I should be doing my work, not at school. And maybe I should, but there's just so many distractions at home to tempt me it's just more practical to do everything at school.

You won't have a choice but to work at home. Depends on what you're doing and how hard it is, but with the exams in mind, you won't get through it all by just studying in between classes. Then again, I've heard some pretty interesting things about US education, so maybe you can.

I have five hours in between classes each day.

Alright, I hope that's enough for you.

I don't know if it is though, at least not when my friends don't allow me to study the whole time.

I was talking to Mr Psy about this earlier. I just started college a month or so ago and adapting to this lifestyle is really tough--and especially tough for me because I don't get to have a dorm until next year and I'll only be able to have it if my GPA is high enough. But I was ambitious when I was picking my classes and I picked 5 hard science/math classes (with the exception of philosophy which is pretty easy/fun) and a lab on top of that as my first semester. I have no car, no permit even, so transportation is utterly horrible. It takes an hour by bus, half hour by car (when my mom can pick me up/drop me up) to get home and to school each and everyday even though I only live two towns over. Commuting through a city is fucking retarded; I end up leaving my house at 7:00AM and not getting back home until 6:45-7:00PM (depending on traffic).

But it's not just transportation making this such a bitch, I have to give up more free time than I've ever had to before in my life. I could technically get most of my work done in the hours I have in between classes but my friends who decided not to take a bunch of hard classes insist on taking me places so I never end up getting much done. On the one hand it's nice that I actually have friends who like me, on the other hand it's really bringing my grades down. But I still have three long days (Friday to Sunday) that I have all to myself with no real commitments for. They say that's when I should be doing my work, not at school. And maybe I should, but there's just so many distractions at home to tempt me it's just more practical to do everything at school. But I don't know, I guess still need to learn to adapt and have the willpower to give up free time to get my work done.

I feel odd because I used to have the power to do that, to be able to force myself to do what I had to, but for some reason the logical part of my brain no longer has the main control over my actions, and it's always a fight between short term comfort and long term satisfaction with work and school. It's not that I never matured, I just feel apathetic because I don't really have much confidence that what I'm doing is going to make me happy. What I really want to do is research, get a PhD, and maybe work for Jackson Labs or for the CDC, but I'd feel terrible knowing that I wouldn't be able to do much for my family. People who do research only make 40 grand a year, and yes, that's really the salary doctors make when you do research. And so I decided that I would try and do engineering instead which makes about 90 grand a year if you work in industry (but still leave open the option to work in research if I choose to do so). For now, I can put off the choice for whether to work in industry (90k a year) or research (40k a year) until I get my engineering degree and certification. The only reason I'd do industry over research is because I want to be able to support a family, but I really don't have much confidence that I'll even end up with one. On the bright side I guess I have four years to figure it out.

Actually, writing all of this out has really helped me understand everything going on right now. I know I dick around a lot on this forum because I find it fun, but when I am legitimately serious, as I am now, I really appreciate having people to talk to about my life to help sort things out. So thanks.

Technically you can't really prove anything. In today's world it would be scientifically correct to put a box in space and make the claim that the only contents within it are stray particles and waves passing through it. But who knows, in ten years we may find out there's something else that doesn't constitute as a wave or particle that secretly passes through the box.

Seriously though, anime is shit.

Says the pedophile.

No the pedophiles would be all the loli faggots on the forum.

What an insightful topic to discuss.

Just a million? No. Probably wouldn't do it for a billion either.

Huh. Thats a new word.

I'm pretty sure people would find things to do. Not everyone spends half their time on the internet and the other half bored out of their mind.

You cannot change the prophecy.
