Human personification? I am not sure what to think of it, but it works.

I need some serious help.

I made this big resolve to start turning my life around, and it seemed to be going pretty well for a while... until I remembered that my depression has been leading me to completely half-*** college. It's mid-semester right now and I have more zeroes than a Republican's paycheck.

Any tips to try to reverse some of the damage?
Welcome to the club of college procrastinators and youngin's having existential crises, overstress, and dealing with depression.

I'm a hypocrite for saying this, but have you tried working on little things bit by bit like deciding to floss everyday and making a good habit out of it, making your bed everyday, writing a short story everyday, read a chapter of a book everyday, or sleeping early everyday? It's sort of like a survival mantra or trick to make things look better each day. I think Les Stroud, the host of Survivorman, talked about it during one of his survive for a week trips.

Our brains are both manipulative and easy to fool. If you make things seem better no matter how small, it might just make things get better and better as you build better and better habits.

So, maybe do homework/study until say, 11:00 pm and that's it. Whatever you finish or don't finish, it doesn't matter. Go to bed and wake up in the morning, eat breakfast and then continue studying. Each subject you do you could give yourself a treat like 30 minutes of game time, a snack, or something. Doing things little by little might seem annoying and like micromanaging - I don't know if you like strategy games with a lot of micromanaging or not -, but it allows you to not have to deal with working on an entire project in 3 days instead of working on it for 3 weeks and allows you to think about the sections you've worked on. In a way, it's like practicing with your main. So, instead of working on 3 different combos, you just work on 1/3 of a combo until you can master it and then move on to 1/3, and then the final 1/3 and try to combine each 1/3 separately. Yeah, it's convoluted, but it would teach you to be able to use any part of the combo if you see the situation for it.

I think I remember reading that people prefer having a routine even if it doesn't seem like a routine like a business person traveling week after week. It's their routine.

Hopefully that helped.

Oh, and don't treat failures as just failures. Try to learn from them. So, right now, I'm screwed over in 3 subjects because I slacked off and got burnt out trying to catch up. I know I won't be getting a B for my CS or calculus midterms and I'll be lucky to scrape a C, but I know that I can improve after that and I know that I should start the CS projects as soon as they're out.

Niiiice.. Friends guilting me into going to a funeral that I KNOW Im not emotionaly stable for..
I think you should still go just to honor your friend. You can bawl out your eyes for all they care, but just being there and knowing that you were there for them after what happened might be enough. I don't think you should go on living regretting you didn't go to the funeral. If anything, you could explain to your friends you want to go after and have a private visit.

Edit: Oh, and have two corgis walking on a treadmill.

Those of you with meh level recoveries! I say for you to beware!

Long distance force palm custom sends opponents at a much lower angle and sends you flying further than standard force palm grab!

So that means earlier kills if you get aura punched.

So, I might say this too early, but I think you and me share a common thing: you and me seem to both try to be exhaustive.

Because if it wasn;t obvious, I am, but it's kinda rare to see someone ese too :)

"You might regret it"
"At least you were about to hang with him You will regret not going"
  1. Im not emotional stable for Funerals
  2. it is also within a timeframe that I have classes well
But oh yes, that doesn't matter.. because I'm going to Regret not going...

Bruh you better want to put some text in that post.
Mods usually are pretty lenient when it comes to things like that unless you spam gifs or they have absolutely nothing to do with the post it's replying to.

I probably have an addiction to information. I think I would be fine in information technology or a library work - not a librarian, but something that deals with keeping track of books. That said, if I was in something like server building, video game design, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up like Sakurai and destroyed my arms because I just want to figure out how something works and apply it.


The only issue: math. It's a requirement for a ton of majors including CS, but I suck at it and I haven't done any serious algebra since about 1-2 years ago - last time was in my junior year of high school. I placed well in the placement test, but I probably got lucky with some of the questions. This basically means my foundation isn't solid and I'm in calculus. I understand the new concepts, but I can't apply them well if I can't figure out the algebra and trigonometry part of it, so I understand limits and I can derive things - I don't remember the formula for d by dy -, but looking at some algebra parts just leaves me stumped.

Trust me, you'll feel better if you go rather than not going. I've never really been in that situation, since I live through periods of grief just like any other day without letting them take comtrol of my life (unlike the rest of my family), but I know some people who almost killed themselves, metaphorically of course, because they missed the funerals of someone close to the

Then explain why I am not laughing.
Because you take **** to seriously in life.

What about a private funeral? Go after midterms, exams, etc. by yourself and have time for yourself for your friend? It's like the saying, "better late then never." Go when you feel it's right and don't let yourself get pressured into doing so.

But there is still the happy sheep. It's a little known fact, but rainbow sheep are natural predators to Substitutes.
Don't worry, there's also a Shy Guy there.

I see. I tend to post images with text every single time...even before this thread came into effect with.. *ahem*, its rules.

Except the math part (it;s not my best subject, but kinda interested), I think we both share another thing.

You said "I just want to figure out how something works and apply it."

This is like most of my life. I'm not joking, the reason I even got into video games is because I was fascinated to see that I enjoyed ssbm so much. I was so curious that it lead me to watch the series history behind ssbm....man I got so much fascinated by thw work behind that I boguht a gc and ssbm on ebay after I sold it (worst mistake of my life).

But I wanted to know more so I began to play old games via VC and of course, lots of GC one....each time I finished one, I learned something.

I once got into speedrunning which is when I learned of the Paper Mario series, loved pm64, but TTYD hit right the spot I never expected any game would on me...I got so addicted by its charms that I spent 6 months on glitch hunting it...now, I have a pretty godam good idea of how the game works, but to push me there is really something.

Then, I'm about to do the same for spm....yeah it is my life to try to figure out stuff to then check its applications.

I'm studying computer science because again, got fascinated y hoe computers works and I think it born when I heard about glitches and especially the first was the Mssingno one....this is a really fascinating glitch that reminds me that no matter how good a game is....it's just a program that transforms input into output.

So, my curiosity did lead me there, but I don;t think it's about to end :)
