Hey, semester started yesterday and I ended up not liking my business class. What is another easy class I can take? Preferably something that doesn't require oral exams, reports oreven group work. I prefer working by nymyself. .. I am in community college
>one class
>I don't like it
You don't even learn anything in your first class.
Maybe college just isn't for you? Have you ever considered getting into a trade? Carpentry is an expanding industry right now with a lot of room for creative individuals who enjoy tinkering. Try it out, because it sounds like dry business courses aren't really your thing.

i am sick and tired of all this bullshit that keeps pilling up.
bad grades,bad home situation,my girlfriend that does not want my help anymore.
i try to keep my head up high and stay positive but i cant do this anymore.

It can always be worse, bud. Don't worry.
It seems like you're free-falling though. What have you tried doing in order to change your life thus far?
Time to take a step back. Maybe work on a personal project that doesn't involve school or gf for awhile. Personally, I find working with my hands to be very fulfilling. Try looking into carpentry and woodworking, build a new desk or a chair, etc.

travel
if you have some money - you can go pretty far - europe / asia / australia / india / china
if you dont have much - go cross the country
if you dont have much at all - go to next town
..
take a break and you will see others along the way who have better stories than you - but also others with worse stories and would gladly trade places

Me and a group of friends decied to make a funny video, so we recreated a scene from Die Hard 3 and my friend went out there with a sign sayin "I hate Niggers" and we headed down to the east side.
I had a cam, and my friend was shoting fuck you to people. It was hilarious until some stupid person went up to my friend and hit him so he fell to the pavement and early cracked his skull. The guy then stole my camera and hit me, when I was explaining it's just a prank.

We are just a bunch of young adults trying to make funny video skits.
What do I do with my beard?
I need an honest opinion, /adv/. I don't have close friends nor father to ask for.
I want to grow a beard but I also want to change my job in about 2 months. Web developer.
I will do interviews with the beard in pic related. What do you think? Ignore the awful hair and face, I will take care of that as well when the time comes.
I have soap, wax, and oil. I dream with a 15 cm mustache each side but my facial hair naturally is really messy and curly and thus I doubt from time to time if I have the genetics to actually...

Trim it. Use clippers with one of the lower gaurds. I do interviews with my beard, but only after I make sure it's as clean cut as possible, meaning also shaving it off the neck and face. Plus, ladies seem to like that more than the wild man look.
>>16787368
I'm not attractive so I don't really care what ladies think. I just want to have a decent looking beard and get a better job. I don't mind the wild man look as long as one have a decent hair cut.
Thanks for your reply.
A simple question with no so simple answer.
How does one break an emotional addiction to a person?
I do not have this problem, my boss does and she asked me if I can help her, so I may not have all the answers to possible questions. I rather seek a general advice on the subject, or what to ask her, how to ask her and so on.
Also she refuses to go to therapist.
Is here anyone who broke this addiction? and how did you do it?
She has to see a therapist. This is almost always a self confidence issue.
>>16787286
She wants you
>>16787286
not your problem
there is a thing called 'caretaking' in the addictions treatment world
its when a person is addicted to a person with an addiction and wants to take care of them to the detriment of themselves and the person they think they are taking care of
the addiction usually goes like this
- person has an addiction
- a friend wants to take of them
- friend doesn't really want to help this person, they want to keep the status quo and keep the addicted person addicted so...

For years my life isnt moving the direction I want. More the opposite. My fitness/body/shape is neckbeard. My lifestyle is neckbeard. Havent really done or achievent anything for 6 months. Mabye longer.
Sometimes I think I just should off myself. This is still far away because I still have hope. But the hope is going to fade and if the situation still goes worse I probbally will.
No money, no friends, no work, no following your dreams/ideaas. No GF ( have had sex and had gf for 1.5 year 3 years ago).
I feel so alone and despreted when...

If your life is causing you to almost kill yourself your gonna have to change your life.
All your daily habits and routines need to change.
The life you want is built by the bricks of daily habit. If you want a great life find the bricks you want and start building.

>PIC unrelated
No it's not. It's what your neckbeard ass wishes he could get, but you won't make an effort to improve or change anything

You are right. God I wish for some hot woman :(
Advice where do I go to find fun ppl to have random mostly clean role play with its so much fun just making up storys with people I only know to use omegal but that's shit
Bump
Find a common interest. Carpenters, for example, are very interesting individuals who are. very knowledgeable, try joining a woodworking club. I highly recommend it.

Adv, i stopped smoking weed 3 weeks ago. I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night since 5 days. I'm not feeling tired or sluggish. Infact i got a lot of energy. This is great and all, but i'm a bit scared that this will backbite in a few days. Is it normal? What's going on?
Recently quit smoking myself, have the same problem.
I find going to the gym around 7-10pm and going really hard with the weights helps me be tired for bed.
>Haven't slept more than 3 hours a night since 5 days
Yeah thats not exactly normal though. Sounds like a manic episode. Does anyone in your family have a history of personality disorders?
>>16787238
I tried to keep a sleep schedule. Going to bed at the same time and getting up early. But i find myselfe laying in bed, wide awake for hours. I try to calm down, even meditate, but to no availe.
I'm going to look that up. Yup, could be. Not diagnosed thought.
thats fine bud
you will eventually get tired and be a souless faggot like all the 9-5 wageslaves again
So I found this girl from Plenty of Fish. Her social media photos consist of a bunch of cleavage photos yet she has very few Instagram or Facebook likes. I started talking to her and now she's already talking about having sex.
This is all a bunch of red flags to me. What could be going on here? Is she a catfish? Or is she just a dirty slut who is going to give me an STD? How do I play this so I don't end up wasting my time?
>>16787218
I just noticed she never uses hash tags I'm her Instagram posts. Could that be the reason she had few likes instead of simply being fake?
Most fakes on craigslist and shit will ask you to verify you're real by sending you a sketchy link to a dating site where you have to enter your information.
Real contacts will only ask for a pic and your phone number.
>>16787256
I'm not worried she's a fake scamming for a website. Only that she's not the person she's claiming to be (photos are not her).
Hello 4chan,
need your help!
In about a year i'm likely will serve in the military..
my change of compulsory is very high...
so the question is:
army, Navy or airforce?
Suicide bomber.
Depend s on what you want as a job, want an admin or office like job fuck it go airforce and enjoy life, but if you wanna fight I'd say go Marines bro, the army is a joke
I don't know if this is more for fit or not.My girlfriend and I recently had sex and we are both bigger individuals, I was wondering besides the basic diet and exercises I am performing to increase my cardio and lose weight is there any specific exercises that will help me make sweet sweet love? Muscles I should be stressing? Any recommended exercises? Thanks.
Running and burpless.
Don't do deadlifts if you are not a "naturally fit" person
>>16787185
Cardio and upper body
>>16787185
Loosing weight is more of a set of mind rather then good tips and exersises. i suggest walking every day and taking back on the sugar because doing exersises is usless if you hurt yourself.
I've always endorsed the idea that you should be entirely responsible for yourself, that you should work hard to earn your keep, and so on. So this year, whilst self-funding a postgraduate degree, I resolved not to ask for any financial assistance from my family, and support myself completely. It's been difficult - I work ~15 hours per week on top of my uni work, which is about the maximum I can do healthily, and just about make enough money to survive. I never eat out or go for nights out, because I just can't afford anything other than rent and groceries (I'm...

You learn how to budget and be disciplined.
Which you can also learn while being rich.
So no.
You may work a job that's very low stress and be poor because the pay is shit. But atleast you're not stressed and working all the time.
>>16787188
Unfortunately, my job is pretty high stress. I work unsocialable hours for no extra pay, am always on my feet attending to one task or another, and quite often get treated like shit by customers because some people like to do that to minimum-wage employees.
