There was more Red in it, also had Lucario in a Ryu skin so I could never go wrong with it.

Probs will keep this one here for a long long time.

Does anyone have any stress relief tactics that work really well for them? I'm incredibly stressed about life in general. Right now my preferred tactic is to sleep and try to ignore the mind-numbing uncertainty which is my future, but I don't think that's particularly healthy.
I mean you can always... :smirk:...

So guys, I'm going to do a college interview and I wanted some feedback on my crib sheet that I've prepared:

1. Will I be considered for acceptance based on a quantitative assessment of GPA + LSAT, a subjective portion consisting of LSAC + your written essays + recommendations, and this interview where you can verify that I am white, asian, african-american, latino, ect?

2. Is the tuition amount listed on your website really the amount that it costs to attend here for all four years or are you going to raise the tuition by 8% each year and edit the amount on the website again?

3. Is this school actually a good school?

4. Why did you cook your employment books misrepresenting employment information stating that jobs gotten after law school were only attainable with respective education, when these employment statistics involve individuals who are working as a barista or a waiter. Do you feel that having a JD adequately prepares one for these positions?

I take it you turned down that job?
I've only sent out apps to schools that are ok with deferment. Because once I get accepted, well, I'm going to defer because the area of law I want to go into is relevant. And if it doesn't work out, then too bad for the law school. They can snatch 120k from some other bum without losing their heads about it.

When I go for a swim it usually takes my mind off of the bigger problems in life. Exercise in general can be a great escape, concentrating on some simple physical tasks while switching your brain off is definitely a therapeutic thing. At the moment, I'm probably studying from when i get up at 7 until about 3 when I go for a swim. I know I definitely come back afterwards in a much better state of mind about my exams then I did beforehand. Any sort of exercise (not just swimming) would probably gives this benefit. Maybe go for a run/walk while listening to an iPod? You'll definitely feel more relaxed afterwards :).
Thank you, I've really never tried exercise as a way to take my mind off things, but it makes sense and is just good to do in general so it definitely couldn't hurt lol :)

Mozart or any classical music. basically just sit down and let it flow through you fro a while.
Think about nothing. (it's alot easier than it sounds when you have good music)

i've also used relaxation music / zen garden type music while just sitting around and it's helped.

generally i'd say just take a breath. Like just breath in for a good long bit, then let it all out.

Find things you enjoy and just take a break and do them, no inhibitions or worries, like for me , i like watching gameplay commentaries , don't know why, just do, so if i'm ever stressed i just head over to youtube and watch like 15 minutes and laugh my *** off, then get back to it.

Or play video games like nabe said.

All depends on what you like to do.

Stress relief is such a personal thing, like only you know how you make yourself less stressed, so if you find what does that, then :thumbsup.gif:

Keep powering through and believe in yourself
Thank you, I agree stress relief is definitely personal, but it's really nice to hear other people's opinions as what works for them because things like listening to classical music I've never really done, but they might prove to be something really helpful I just never knew about :)

-Sex/Masturbation
-Working Out
-Playing the Piano (oh god yes especially in the morning right after you wake up)
-Making a schedule/list of all the things you need to do & want to do. This really helps the most I'd say. Just having everything set out in paper can open up a lot of time that you'd never think youd have.
-Watching the last few episodes of Gurren Lagann or the whole thing if you haven't seen it yet. If you think PCP can make you feel like you can do anything, just try out a dose of Tengen Toppa.
I like all those suggestions, the last one...oh god I get into really bad habits of binge watching tv shows, most recently "Firefly" (which was freaking excellent btw).

things zen said

and talking/ranting about life in general to someone else/by yourself

i do it in the form of freestyling which benefits my mood so much its redonk
Lol if only I was better at freestyling. Just talking about it here and getting feedback is helping already, thank you :)

Don't think about your future then for now. Do something that will make you feel comfortable. For example, go watch some One Piece and find out that I was right that Chopper will be adorable and you will love em. While watching One Piece, drink some tea. If you really need to just go out, we can chill at Han Dynasty and maybe you can just unravel your stress there.

Just keep in mind that you will eventually have to face the reality soon, but at least you can take SOME peace while 'relaxing'. When the time comes to face reality, make sure you prepare your self as much as possible so that you don't feel REALLY bad afterwards.

I have an idea about what you are stressing about and you can get at me via Aim/skype/cell if you need to talk. Peace.
Thank you, lol well I probably won't watch One Piece right now but have you seen the latest AHS...ahhhhh I still freaking love it. But yeah we should go to Han Dynasty some time.

or instead of, you know, temporary fixes, you find out why you're stressed (90% chance its a mindset thing) and work on your mindset instead of masturbating every 10 minutes or playing piano every 10 minutes.
Yeah I understand where you are coming from, and mindset is something I'm definitely working on as well, it's just a process for sure.

I have been watching it recently, yes. Trying to on it so I can 'love' it as well.

And yes, deff. I'm up for it whenever.

Omg... I just had this semi-acid cough burp thing... I hate when that happens.

(Basically I had a burp stored up randomly [bagel] which never came out and I guess I coughed and it caused me to cough up some of that acid stuff when you vomit? I dunno hard to explain but right after I had a big burp!)

"Romney spent $800m+ to not be President. I spent nothing for the same result. Who's the better business man now?"

I found that funny.

I'm in the exact same boat at the present and life is tough...
Don't act offended but just carrying on and talk to your friends whenever you can. Be nice and play it cool as long as your friends haven't done anything behind your back, your fine.
Find new friends like all of your other friends have, for people it's hard, I know but try.
Be outgoing self and be social in all your classes and join clubs, your bound to find others who want to be your friend :D
