Good luck getting into med school at age 25 with a BA. Don't forget your pre-reqs and MCAT.
Guys I need some wisdom. I broke up with my girlfriend and have a few options to make this easier or less easy for her, but I don't know myself what would be better.
It's a long distance relationship. We've started nearly 2 years ago and kept meeting. This went well but in the end it's too much for me too handle and I have a lot of going on.
Now she asked me to see her one last time. I planned to see her this weekend long before, but after breaking up this weekend she asks me to come see her one last time to tell it to her face and so she can...

Don't do the one last time shit. If you go you'll only make both her and you feel worse; or you could be guilt tripped into getting back with her. If you want closure just tell her why you decided to break up, wish her well, and move on.
>>17250563
This is why I was asking, I'm afraid the one last time will make things worse.. But at the same time I feel obligated to do what she asks, i betrayed her.
I just want to do what makes things easiest for her.
Bump
got a week of exams starting in two hours. I haven't studied at all.
How fucked am i ?
McDonald's is a nice job.
>>17250474
It depends, do you want to succeed in the tests?
youl probably fail the first one since you have no time to study for it, but take the day before your next exam to cram
I'm pretty stuck on what to do and/or how to feel about my current boyfriend. I'm a 18 yo girl and he's 20 and we've been dating for about a year now but I've known him for about 2 years. I believe he has a lot of issues like possibly depression or manic depression. He sleeps all day and if I'm with him and try to wake him up for work he throws a fit like a child, which is super unattractive to me, gets mad at the smallest things, punches and throws around things, and a sort of other things. I care about him but I know for certain he won't get help. I broke up with him about a month ago because he wasn't talking to me only to get back together a week later. Now he is very clingy but also very loving when he's in a good mood. His friends say I'm the only girl he's ever really loved.
He got kicked out of his living situation a few days ago so he's been staying at my house. His whole life is basically stored in my garage rn. After he fell asleep I kinda went through his phone (I know I was being snoopy) and found a girl messaging him about trying to cover up a hickey he had given her. The message was sent a few days before I broke up with him. And then I found flirty messages between him and some girl which were sent after we got back together.
Anyhoo I am not the most stable person myself. When I feel stressed out, anxious, depressed I either have bad panic attacks or specifically at night I'll wake up to a black figure who will suddenly "teleport" to me and cause from what I feel is physical pain.
With all that said I'm in love with my boyfriend but I am not sure if our relationship is healthy for me.
Is there any anal sex going on?
>>17250451
He's a loser. If you can't already see that you need to dump him you must be one as well.
>>17250460
One time accidently :/
outside of reddit, where can I find a place to talk about my problems? preferably something less vicious and hateful than 4chan, but more constructive than a hugbox,
>>17250434
Psychiatrist or friends
>>17250440
ah, i failed to specify, i AM consulting both of those things in the real world.
what i really meant was "where can I also find a place to talk about my problems on the interwebs"
4Chan is hit or miss, but I actually find a lot of enjoyment from helping people on this specific forum.
I've never been to reddit so maybe continue over there?
Experience Project is great.... lots of forums out there. Quora is also great.
as you can tell ive been a very depressed person LOL
Also, please check out The School Of Life on youtube, and click on any of the videos that you relate to. It has helped me immensely.
So my dads been monitoring the websites I've been going to for a while using the router (I don't know how this shit works) and found out all the weird shit I look at like porn and suicide methods and whatever and he keeps bringing it up during family conversations. At my uncles birthday this weekend shit turned real dark and embarrassing when he brought it up.
Is there a way a to prevent him from seeing my history or what I'm doing?
>>17250391
Use a VPN.
>>17250391
Stop looking at abnormal stuff
>>17250391
Tell your dad to stop being a dick about it and talk to you in private if he has concerns.

I have this friend, and the dude is always complaining about being single. But his Facebook posts literally get hundreds of likes, most of them from women. He's extremely intelligent, good looking, fashionable, creative, and very charming and charismatic. He's got a little of an offbeat personality, being a creative type, and can be quite intense, but nothing weird or off putting. His Instagram is full of thirsty chicks commenting telling him he's cute. Fuck, my ex asked him out after she dumped me. He's even had a few crazier chicks stalk him.
He just can't seem to find a girlfriend for some reason though. He says the girls that are interested in him only like him for who they think he is, not who he actually is, and laments the fact that the girls he's interested in apparently don't want anything to do with him. Hell, I've even seen him settle for short, frumpy, chubby chicks well below his league a few times - girls who are punching way above their weight to date him - and not even those relationships last. One of them even told me she ended the relationship with him because he was "too perfect". He's not emotionally unstable, or a pushover cuck. He's confident, headstrong, but courteous and kind. What can I do to help the poor bastard?! I literally cannot see where he is going wrong. Even I have a girlfriend and I'm not half the catch he is.
>>17250378
99% chance he is gay. Don't waste your time. He'd have a good girlfriend if he really wanted one. He doesn't want one.
>>17250378
He sounds conceited with little self awareness
>>17250393
What do you mean by that?
Hey guys, I need some relationship advice; not the usual stuff either.
I have a girlfriend, she's great, wonderful, just about everything about her is amazing; I love talking with her and we have very similar tastes, and she is absolutely head over heels for me to boot.
There's one problem:
I'm not sexually attracted to her in the slightest.
One one bit.
It has nothing to do with her weight or appearance, as she looks absolutely gorgeous, it's just her body, she is the exact OPPOSITE of everything I like in a woman and before...

How did you even get to the relationship stage with her?
>>17250348
We began talking over mutual interests and clicked very quickly and easily with eachother. I didn't see her naked until we were already IN a relationship.
Has there been any anal sex involved?
do you guys have any good self defense techniques i started beef with this guys whose known for fucking people up and i want to be prepared in case he tries attacking me im a pretty built guy who could hold his own in a fight if that helps
>>17250339
The best self-defense:
Don't get into fights.
>>17250339
krav maga is tite
>>17250339
If it's a fight between you and multiple people, you're fucked. You don't have enough time to learn to fight like that, and even the best can't do it very well.
If it's only one guy, go for the eyes, throat, and groin. Don't do that grappling shit you see on MMA, that only works because they aren't allowed to stick a finger in the other guy's eye.
The most important part is to not be afraid of killing the other guy. If you want to go less lethal, get a taser...

Hey bros. I know advice is usually for relationship stuff but I've been being eaten alive by bugs for the past month and I dunno what to do until the guy on the lease orders an exterminator to jump in.
Picture below.
I think it's bed bugs and mosquitoes, but this is the first time that I've seen little curved lines. It itched like crazy when i woke up from my nap, but then after that there's no itching.
If anyone can help, thanks!
>>17250336
Bed bugs
I am psyching myself out on the internet. I read that those little lines might be from scabies because scabies burrow into you and do those lines.
Or do you think it's just... just bed bugs.
>>17250344
Tbh I'd hope it were scabies instead of bedbugs. Scabies are easy to kill with some medication. Bed bugs are like a fucking plague. Might as well burn everything, it might be less expensive to start over.
Ok so I'm a gay republican and because of last night in Orlando I'm pissed off at Muslims. How do I not get caught when ordering pizzas to their mosques?
Order online. Use a proxy.
>>17250301
Use a VPN -- and be careful, these faggot imams will do everything they can to charge a hate crime, which is a very serious offense
>>17250306
Should I order bacon pizzas? Should I also order gay escorts and use the imams name when I order said escorts? Then wait until the middle of a service then the pizza guy and escort walk right in during prayer and small the Muslims see the imam and shout " imam habib! What are you dishonoring Allah with your homosexual whore and your pig meat on western food that is not halal but haram?!? We keel you now! Alahalahalaaaaahhh!!!!!". Or should I graffiti up the place?
alright, what do i do? im having sex tonight but i dont wanna cum early. wat do?
>>17250250
masturbate beforehand
>>17250250
If you masturbate beforehand, just be sure to use a condom you might end up having a little bit of jizz left in there and things could get messy.
Drink a lot of hi-c.
Try it and thank me later
How to fix me?
>>17250242
first step is to break out of the wall you're stuck in.
Alright
Hit them weights
Avoid bread and sugar. Comsume more food and herbs.
Mediate or fasting.
Focus in the inner spirit and what you like about this life.
Would it make me a terrible person if i broke up with my gf of two years just because i miss being single and I'm kind of bored of the relationship?
Not really. If you don't intend to marry her/comit at some point, she's better off the sooner rather then later.
>>17250234
not at all, just don't you dare fucking post a thread on here 2 months later pining for your ex gf
Only if you didn't address the reasons why you're bored of the relationship first.
