What's your advice on student loans? I'm out of cash, and have 4 semesters left of my undergraduate. I'm gonna go ahead and finish it up, what should I expect thereafter. I ultimately want to pursue higher education after said degree, and I am assuming that will continue to drive my debt up.
Any and all advice will help.
You're in a rough position because you're asking this question at the most inopportune time. It should have been asked two years ago. Then my advice would have been to start at a community college, save as much money as possible and push for scholarships and budget-friendly transfers before heading into a 4-year university. That way you keep the debt burden as low as possible.
But now you really don't have a choice. What will do you do if you don't take out the loans, quit? You keep the credit for courses you took but they give you no value without the degree. That all but wastes the money you spent on them.
The best I can say now is to work as much as you can during and between semesters to get ahead of the eventual payments.

I'd go with this. Take out the loans if you have no other choice, but spend absolutely as little of the loan money as possible. Only spend it on school stuff - if there is money left over, put it in the bank, do not blow it. Work as much as you can without impacting your grades and save every penny. Consider taking an extra semester to graduate if possible, to give yourself a better money in-money out ratio.
>>16607007
Yeah, I dropped out last year when I found out just how much more school I had left before graduation, and the lack of money I had.
I'm back now because I'm not where I want to be professionally speaking, and I ultimately want to pursue law.
The problem being, that no one will hire some fag with a philosophy degree.
In the past I've had my house broken into. I didn't think it had any lasting impact on me, but I've noticed recently I get scared when I'm in the house alone (I live with 6 other people so this rarely happens). I jump at little noises and don't leave my room unless I really have to. How do I get over this? I don't want to always need to have someone around.

Texting with my cousin right now,
She had shitty parents, lives in the hillbilly part of country, married her other cousin, gave birth to a disabled child
Now she tells me that she's jealous of me coz I had good mom and didn't drop out of college or something
What is a human response here? What should I tell her?
"It's not your fault."
This phrase has amazing powers.

So everyone is talking about making long term investments and buying stocks while studying in college. Some say they do it with very little. How does that work? I mean lets say you bought $500 worth of stock of a top 500 and a stable company. What is most likely to happen in not so long-term but 5 to 10 years? Lets sat the company kept growing slowly, didn't come up with something so special, and didn't go banktrupt, just kept growing. Can it bring in like %15-20 in 5 to 10 years?
And as a college student I can invest like 1k per year at best for the next 4-5 years. What would you suggest me?
> Can it bring in like %15-20 in 5 to 10 years?
No these are ridiculous numbers.. sorry to crush your hopes there but you won't get that much win with investments in Top 500 company.
So long story short, I got really drunk at a work Christmas party and thrusted at a coworker I had a crush on.
So I came to ask, is shutting up and never making eye contact again with her again the right idea? I already apologized and she said it was fine, but I'm pretty sure I should just never speak to her again
>>16606950
I don't know if it's the best idea but it's probably what I would do
You should definitely keep a profession distance and not initiate conversations unless strictly for work purposes.

op here, thanks for the replies I knew I made the right decision
I fucked up really bad with a girl.
It happened 4 months ago and I'm still not over it, I just need advice with letting it go.
She has someone else now, it was my first relationship (at least my first serious one) and I'm really depressed about it.
dubs get btw
>>16606933
fucking nice
>>16606933
When I'm kicking myself over some fuckup, I remind myself that other people have fucked up far worse and that it's not the end of the world. Hell, I fucked up 3 relationships by being a clingy, needy, psycho bitch before I realised the problem was me and started to fix my mental shit. I ended up with someone awesome anyway.
Take heart, OP. You did the best you could at the time, and next time you'll do better. And there will be a next time.
So I need advice on my current situation and whether I'm being selfish or not about it.
I've been with my boyfriend for 2.5 years now. We both love each other very much. Unfortunately we both live with our parents due to him finishing up school and although I work, the rent is too damn high around here to get my own place. I live in NYC in Staten Island, and he lives in NJ so the distance between us is about a 30 min drive by car.
My boyfriend seems to be very close to his family. He's the youngest with 2 older sisters. I'm the youngest of my family with 3 older sisters but they're much much older than I am (10-13 years older) and they're all married and out of the house.
His sisters tend to visit and stay at his parents house every other week or weekend. Although one of his sisters his married, she'll bring her husband to stay the weekend.
His family, whether it's with his sisters or parents, are either making dinner, or going to the boardwalk and they ask me to come along. I've gone on vacations with his family, gone out for birthdays, dinners, etc.
Although I love his family, lately it feels like the only time I get to spend any time with my boyfriend is if it involves his family.
Sometimes when I visit my boyfriend and if his sister is there, he'll ask her to come join us wherever we're going.
Or I'm usually eating dinner his mom made instead of me and him going out for dinner. Granted my boyfriend is still in school so he's not making much money, but I can pay for dinner no problem. It doesn't help that his mom has this mentality of "save your money and have dinner here instead".
But even when we went to see Star Wars, I thought it was just me and him but his parents and sister tagged along.
Cont next post...
>next post
Oh my fucking God, two posts for something that could be summarized in one line:
>Although I love his family, lately it feels like the only time I get to spend any time with my boyfriend is if it involves his family.
Just tell him that.
TITS or QTFO, ops wrong board
>>16606916
So then there's me and my family. I just live with my parents. We don't really do any eventful things like family dinners unless it was for a holiday. My sister's are married with their own households so they are all doing their own things with their families. My parents don't really go out a lot except for the occasional flea market or casino.
So when my boyfriend does come visit me, we'll try to find alone time to snuggle or have sex when no one is home , but sometimes he complains about having to drive to me. It feels like he wants me to come to him more than he comes to me and if I do go to him, I'll be going out or spending time with his family. It'd just be nice if we can go out together alone.
Like I just spend the past few days with his family. I drove to his house on Xmas eve morning and drove home last night because I didn't really want to spend another night there and didn't want to spend the rest of the night watching Xmas movies with his family on the couch.
I ask him today if he wants to come to me and spend time since I drove home yesterday but now he's all "were making an Italian dinner, come join us". I'm just sick and tired of constantly going to see him just to spend time with his family.
How do I begin to feel anything other than pain?
>>16606894
Depends entirely on what is causing you pain.
>>16606894
Put your hand on your cock and move it up and down until it cries white tears
>>16606894
There is also fear, it usually really easy to feel
So i need some advice, I'm 21 in college studying electronic engineering.
I'm a faggot and I've had an offer from a man in Switzerland to go live with him and be his slave for 2+ years it honestly sounds like a pretty good deal, il be forced to learn German, get fit and eventually re enroll in an engineering college over there.
As someone with little to no motivation this seems like it could be good for me + if I don't like how things are going I would be in an excellent position to rob this guy off drain his accounts and flee back to the uk.
Any thoughts?
>pic related
Be careful if you do accept. IMO say yes
You're a fucking idiot. You're not even motivated enough to complete your degree (I bet you don't shower regularly, get up in the morning, or have a job which is why you want to live for free)
and you think somehow - plausibly through the magic of the below-average cock of someone with an obvious inferiority complex - you're going to feel motivated enough to work out for two full hours a day, go on multi-day long hikes, learn a new language, and service a fucking dick for two hours?
Have you ever even sucked a dick before? You want to volunteer to eat stank-ass pubes and get your shitter torn for two hours every day? Are you fucking mad?
Are you fucking stupid, you want to end up in a joseph fritzl copycat basement?
I want to know what my chances are of getting into a local university are. I was a shit student in high school, my GPA was below average and so was my SAT score (1350, I know it's bad) however the university I want to go to has an 82% acceptance rate and some truly thick skulled fucks go there.
>>16606785
I don't know why you think you'll suddenly become an even mediocre student if you couldn't even do well in the easiest shit you'll ever do-- HS
>>16606785
82% is really high.
You'll probably get in. If not, Community college is an option too, and you can transfer to an actual good school after a year or so.
>Just dropped out of university halfway through my second year
>Saving up money to move to Montreal. Maybe go to culinary school maybe just work kitchen jobs.
>Current girlfriend is great aside from the fact she is from europe and keeps me under the rug because Im black and her parents are racist.
>I'll be leaving almost everyone I know including my girlfriend behind in 2 months anyways.
>Sitting here pretending its all okay.
I feel fine at the moment, but I know Im teetering on the edge of falling in to the worst depression I've ever felt. Theres a possibility that my leaving school, leaving the province, and my shakey relationships with my girlfriend/friends/family will throw me under the bus and Im scared.
I feel fine but I know how quickly that can change.
Are you running from or towards something, anon?

I'm looking for a shooter MMORPG for PC. Something along the lines of Mass Effect/Warhammer campaign multiplayer, or Warframe but a campaign instead of the same missions over and over.
Any ideas?
>>16606722
MMORPGS are doing the same missions over and over
>>16606931
So it's like how your posts are always bad.
Is /adv/ your MMORPG then?

Warhammer is gay, go have sex nerd
Alright, /adv/ I need some advice. Here's what happened.
>Be me, in Canada 19yo
>Talking to a 16yo I met online
>He asks if I want to see something
>I say "sure"
>He sends me a bunch of nudes
>Wtf.jpeg
>Delete them all from the convo
>Tell him he shouldn't do that and that we could both end up in trouble
>He keeps trying to assure me he won't tell
>I don't think he will, but still
Can I get in trouble if they were sent to me, but deleted them? I checked to see that we were both legal before, but I know you can't send nudes before 18
Not really urgent, I just wanna know.
Did you ask for the pictures in any way? If you didn't ask then you're most likely fine, But in all honesty I would probably stop talking with him.
>>16606732
I did stop talking to him. I did, but I told him to be clothed.
>>16606736
You didn't ask him for them in anyway and asked him to stop.
You're fine OP.
Hey /adv/, accidentally sent a ZAKU II model to my ex's place through Amazon. Thought it was set up to pick my address through mobile right off the bat but t did hers. Just found out today after realizing it hadn't been delivered.
I kind of want to ask if I can get it back from her but she high-key hates me. Should I bother asking for it back or just say RIP in piece?
>>16606685
Is it 1/144 scale? Forget it.
1/16 scale? Go over and ask for it.

Trucker knows.
After a good 2 years adventuring the world with my best friend (a girl), I confessed my passion and love to her.
We have never been romantically involved (other than our drunk shenanigans) but I have grown to enjoy her qualities. She is 5'2 short, cheeky, brunette, but has a boyish figure.
I'm 6'5, humble, wealthy, but hairy (like Chuck Norris).
We've had our share of fights, but all of them have ended in us cuddling. When traveling we were intoxicated on the regular, and would occasionally make out and have sex. But all to be forgiven and forgotten in the morning.
Her family know I'm loving and supportive to her, and trust me like a son. Her whole family keep asking me when I'm going to marry her, but I get these feelings like if I confess, our great friendship will end. I don't want to lose that.
But anyway, long story short, I confessed to her after a romantic dinner in Greece (I didn't propose).
She said, thank you, she likes me as a friend, but she could never get emotionally attached because shes a lesbian.
A couple days of being a bit depressed, we got drunk and had sex.
I told her parents and sister about what I had done, except for you know, the sex. They gave me a hug and gave me some inspirational quotes.
We're still good friends, but there is that hesitation where she knows I like her more than just a friend.
What do I do?
>because shes a lesbian.
>A couple days [...] we got drunk and had sex.
I call bullshit, I hope you do too. It's a weird lie she's telling to herself so she doesn't feel like a skank, because she fucks a guy she doesn't love. Abandon ship asap, this will only bring you misery and a waste of energy you could have spent in a better way or on a better relationship.
Sounds like she has issues.
Sounds like she has some real problems. Especially if you fucked in the past.
If I were you? I would give her the could shoulder for a month. I'm serious, don't physically see her for an entire month. Find excuses to be busy.
She'll see a world without you in it and it will force her to make a call.
