I'm taking some difficult courses this semester and in one class the professor told us that we should be spending 20 hours each week on the material. I spend maybe 5ish hours each week just reading the book and doing homework and then feel burned out. My grades are starting to slip probably as a result of not spending 20 hours studying this stuff. But I kind of feel almost indifferent about it.
What should I do? If I quit school I'll be basically screwed. Can't live on the wages I earn now really. But it feels hard to care right now, and motivation comes...

20 hours a week? thats like 3 hours a day man
set a schedule for yourself and stick to it. This semester is gonna suck, but its only a semester
dont give up now, its fucking February man
>>16762047
My uni course says should do two hours work for every hour at uni. I do less than two hours a week and its still going well, don't push yourself too hard
>>16762056
I guess we'll see. This is a class that most people drop. Coworker said when she took it there were 5 students at the end, and it's always packed at the start. Guess I should complain less and work harder.
>>16762142
Well if I don't push myself hard I will fail. Already it's going very poorly.
I'm 19 she's 17. I've really been her only boyfriend. If she get's into the college she's hoping for she's going to be moving fairly far away from me and doesn't want to have to deal with anything long distance. Plus she's going to be in a completely new environment meeting so many new people and doesn't wanna feel held back to life's possibilities.
I'm trying to be as understanding as possible with this, after all, I felt the same way going into college (although I straight up ignored those feelings for her and kinda...

happened to me because i was naive and thought it would work
i dealt with it well, but it still cast a big cloud over my first semester (i know you're already in college, but consider how it would affect you)
if she's already considering it, she'll probably do it. i'd dump her now so you can stop living in suspense and get on with enjoying yourself and studying
good luck f.am
>>16762010
>Try to treasure every last moment I can with her?
That's the one, yeah.
The relationship's not going to succeed long-distance, sorry. This type of relationship almost never survives the transition to college. Like literally 3% of the time or something. It's not about how in love you are, or how faithful you are (either of you.) It's just a game that's wildly stacked against you both.
Maybe you can try again someday, when you're both in a more stable point in your lives. That sort of thing is rare but it happens. But until that hypothetical day, which may never come, do yourselves the favor of calling it a break-up, not a "break" or something childish like that. That'll just cause you pain. Don't wait around for her.
>>16762040
I was gonna maybe suggest to her that we take a break for like a month and then after that point we can talk and see if we wanna continue with or without each other. Your saying we should just skip that part and just breakup?
Bear in mind that she won't be THAT far away from me (about a 2 hour drive) I could easily make it up to see her once a week providing I have extra gas money.
However that still doesn't deal with the fact that in such a new environment she might want to live her life...

>new girlfriend
>talking/laughing about how when I'm 30 she will still be 28 and still young unlike me
Umm, is she hinting at wanting to.. be with me for the rest of her life?
We both kind of subconsciously know this relationship we're in is going to be for the long haul but I when she said this I just sort of panicked inside and nervously laughed. We were on the phone.
We often talk about the future together and we've only been in a relationship for 3 days, but we've known...

fuck your advice, tell us your story on how it happened. :3

Yeah it's weird.

At the moment like this, you are supposed to play along dude, even if you dont really.hink you end up dating her for that long
As a food delivery person, would you mind being tipped with $1 coins instead of cash?
Use you common sense OP
Is it quarters? Shit, why don't you just ask them?
>>16761878
I think it'd be cool to get some
But of course I'd waste a good half hour looking up the dates on them and seeing if they were vauluable
>>16761907
"$1 dollar coins" not quarters
Hey /adv/ this girl wants to give me head. She's 19 and goes to college. She hooked up with 2 guys before (her exs) and gave a blow job to a guy last month. My question is should I take the offer? She told me she got tested and is clean. I'm a virgin and she's willing to put up with me. So should I go for it or stay away from her. I'm also 18 years old and a male obviously. Thanks guys
Yes.
Why is this even a thread???
If you have to ask then you'll probably go a big rubbery one when she takes your dick out.
Stop being a pussy and do what you want.
>>16761863
Yes you fucking moron
How do I read a book in the most efficient manner? I recently bought some books with similar themes to The Prince by Nicolo Machiavelli because I'm currently majoring in finance, and understand that I'm currently in a field where manipulation and influence are both extremely important. That being said, should I be taking notes, highlighting things? Or is just reading attentively fine?
...did you actually read The Prince?
It's not supposed to be a guidebook, lol.
>>16761829
I know it's not supposed to be a guidebook, especially given the time leap. But it's a good foundation to read before taking on more modern books which draw from many principles that are presented in it.
If you can't figure out how to comprehend a book then you're probably too dumb to excel in manipulating people, especially people who are probably smarter and more experienced than you
How do I not feel bad about being the one to hit on a guy?
I never attract men on sight or get hit on but I am quite confident and have no issue starting a conversation with strangers.
How do I not feel like a failure of a woman because of doing it?
Even if I am successful it makes me feel inferior to all women who dont have to do so and I am doubtful about whenever a guy is actually attracted to me or just goes for the easiest option.
In last relationship, I was the one to hit on the guy and arrange first dates (we known each other but he never was...

Don't feel bad, guys like being hit on because it makes us feel good that someone notices us.
>>16761535
The fact that it boosts their ego is not necessairly the good thing for the other person.
>>16761529
What is bad about making your own decisions? This is the best thing.
Tackling the problems directly instead of wishful hoping that they will solve by themself should be praised.
Any hints or ideas? I know to use a force balance involving tension, force of gravity, and electric force but then from there i'm confused.
>>16761528
I think that small car should be driving on the road. Try penciling it in.
>>16761554
sounds about right
You were probably under the impression that you would get useful information form these retards, you were wrong. Go to sci.
I have a lot of free time, and I'd like to find a hobby that could potentially earn me money or get me laid. I'm 19, good looking and currently attending community college. Playing Guitar is already off the table.
you could be a clickworker and get all your ho girlfriends to be clickworkers too.
How about amateur porn?
>>16761724
Are clickworkers the people that take online surveys for money?
>>16761736
I'm afraid a family member or someone else I know would see that stuff.
Am I a racist if I call my girlfriend a nigger and mistreat her if it turns her on? My girlfriend is black if it wasn't obvious.
nah nigga
>>16761444
nigga, nah.
>>16761444
Nooo just nooo. Unless She can call you whitey cracker fag and beat you in reverse role play!!!! : )
Thinking of breaking up with my girlfriend as she's been snapchatting a guy who she was infatuated with before we started dating. They went on an international holiday together and fucked but weren't ever dating.
Now I'm insecure enough as it is, and this just feels like the sort of thing I'm not going to be able to overcome. For contextual purposes, I'm almost entirely sure the snapchats are innocent and that she's super keen on me. The guy also lives a fucking mile away so there's no threat in that way either.
But I feel like...

She's dead to you
>>16761286
Drop the bitch like a potato and enjoy her tears.
Tell her a slut, whore, cunt and that she didn't deserve you from the beginning.
Everything else or you're a cuck.
>>16761290
Explain this please?
>>16761291
Not feeling that aggressive about it to be quite honest. I've had my insecure outbursts in the past so this just feels like the painless final nail in the coffin.
If we did break up there'd be no shortage of interest on my end so there's no extreme of emotions here.
Should I cocoon mode, kill self or Bateman mode?
Is there a "see a mental health professional" mode? Because I like that one best.
What is cocoon mode? Is that where you don't leave your house for eleven months?
>>16761230
It's wen you turn into a metapod/kakuna and finally evolve to your third evolution.
how can i tell a good lie?
most people have lots of practice lying to themselves, so just figure out how you're doing that and learn how to do foist it on other people
>>16761100
by omitting parts of the truth out.
>>16761120
You've got mental issues and I think you need some councelling
Any good spying apps for android? I've tried a few but they only show me incoming texts, I want to see texts going inwards and outwards, and if possible, an app that shows phone numbers received and dialed. My partner and I both agreed to this and haven't been so lucky in finding a good one.
>>16761010
>inconspicuous spying app
>agree to install it on each other's phones
>>16761124
That's what we are willing to do when there are trust issues.
>>16761130
>willing to install spy apps on each other's phones
>not willing to work through the actual underlying problems causing the trust issues
you are both lazy as fuck and it's almost a shame your relationship won't last, because you deserve each other
just get some damn couples counseling or break up already, be grownups for once
