has anyone seriously considered just up and leaving for the rest of your life?
>>28458485
yes, I am considering moving to some other state after college
away from everyone I know, it'll be a perfect fresh start
I am thinking about moving to Hawaii
I'm considering leaving for the magic bus in Alaska or the magic bus in the sky
>>28458485
I'm moving to Tijuana
>>28458485
After college I'm moving to Colorado, I can reinvent myself there
>>28458485
Yes, but then I remember that I love my material possessions too much.
>>28458485
Did it. Moved to NYC when I was 18. Never looked back.
>>28458565
No its terrible here
Seriously stay the fuck out no one likes it here
I avoid being outside unless I have to be. My comfort level would drastically decrease. I wish I was a risk taker.
That and I don't drive, I'm not driving a death machine.
I've dreamed of living off the land in Alaska like Into the Wild
>>28458517
This. There's no way in hell I can make it in either my home town or the city near my college or even the counties surrounding that considering how bad of a reputation I have.
I'm considering going away, reinventing myself, and making it. Maybe if I make it far enough I'll come back for my high school and college reunion and rub my success in everyone's faces.
>on second thought that may not work out well since they'll never see me as anything else but the social punching bag.
>>28458531
roll up for the magical mystery tour
step right this way
>>28458517
>im not actually planning on leaving, i'm planning on just changing the scenery but not actually leaving behind anything of importance
>>28458592
colorado is beautiful though. at least one part of iti wont say where for your sake ;^)
>>28458620
You mean the moron who was in over his head and got himself killed?
>>28458531
>>28458620
do you guys want to be friends
why is it always so difficult for people with this specific disposition
I want to live in one of those places where you're on a really steep road in one of those small 3-story houses that aren't very big around, just tall. a place where it rains on weekends and neighbors bring pie and stuff like that. but if i couldnt have that I'd like to just roam around, settling in small towns for awhile while getting to know the larger cities around it.
>>28458485
I wanna get my degree and then become a yuppie in california
if i had someone to share it with yes
>>28458662
Trust me nosy neighbors aren't a good thing. They do nothing more than spread rumors about you in order to define their ingroup against you, the outgroup.
It will be no different from what you're experiencing right now.
Neighbors that mind their own business on the other hand might do that very mildly but at least they have the decency to leave you alone.
>>28458662
something kind of like this?
>>28458686
would you like to be friends?
accepting friend applications
>>28458629
thats right on 70 right, saw that on my hell drive
>>28458726
i like friends i would be friends
I've considered up and moving to the Pacific Northwest. Portland to be exact. I don't know how feasible this is and it's probably just a pipe dream but my state blows ass.
>>28458751
portland is great!
come visit me~
>>28458678
>I wanna get my degree and then become a yuppie in california
you know, living out of a van with just a gym membership would be pretty cool. you can still shower in the gym, it's basically like having a little moving apartment - only problem would be food
The only problem with doing this here in Cali is a lot of cities and towns have caught on that people could live in their car and have made laws to prevent people from going against the norm - you can't sleep in your car in a parking lot in a public park, for example, and there's pretty much nowhere you are allowed to park without paying for a parking spot overnight
so what kinda ends up happening is you live in a car in a semi permanent spot and end up just being semi-homeless
cool idea though
>>28458646
I would be totally down for moving to alaska too, it's far enough away from everything, it has beautiful outdoors, you can just fucking drive for miles and hours on end...
we should create a mini robot-city. might actually be quite nice to live with other people kinda similar to me
My gymnastics instructor left to join the circus. I've been wondering if I should do the same.
>>28458757
It's expensive though isn't it? If I lived there I'd wanna bike or use public transit. I hate driving. I also really like the climate of the area.
>>28458776
>My gymnastics instructor left to join the circus
you have to be a mega normie to join the circus senpai
imagine how much socialization that requires

Believe me, they will never see you as anything more than school autist. Not even someone like Zuckerburg could escape being remembered as that even with his billions.

>alaska
gets far too cold for my comfort
Now, somewhere out west, where it's warm and dry and you can be a lizard-man, that would be my jam. It's most hospitable to vagrants in the warm dry regions.

Really? I live in SD & there are tons of RVs & vans here that look like people live there
>>28458800
you cant be a sad clown or something? cmon man this could work
>>28458827
Yeah that dude totally missed that. But he should have fun living in a van like a vagrant.
Serious question: why don't any of you act on this? Why do you just sit around and whine?
t. someone who "got up and left" when they were 20
>>28458894
the whole concept is far better suited to being a fantasy than an actual plan, duh
tell us about your experience
>>28458894
Because we can't leave immediately nd we have things to finish here and now. I'm less than a month away from graduating. I can't just pack up and go right now. On the other hand I can still plan.
>>28458796
its a bit on the expensive side but its not as bad as some places
>>28458894
i did the latter. it didnt work out so good
making a second try
i think the problem is that people who do end up succeeding dont bother posting ever again. like neets and wagecucks; wagecucks are completely unphased unless theyre some horrible retail slave
>>28458894
Did it when I was 18.
It takes grit and character and ambition.
Robots are short on all 3.
Honestly I'd hate being a hobo.
Traveling is nice and all, but having a roof over your head that you can come back to after seeing that mountain is better than having to sleep under a bridge and not know where your next meal is coming from.
>>28458531
It's very cold in Alaska.
>>28458946
Idk, I'm a self made millionaire.
Im sitting here watching sportscenter and shitposting.
>>28458990
You don't have to be a hobo anon. That's just what these pipe dreaming retards dream about for some reason.
>>28458485
Yeah. It's pretty fucking rough. Might as well condemn yourself to a lifespan of about 40 or 50 - not that some people want to live past that age, myself included.
Minor medical shit could be life threatening - a simple infection can kill without antibiotics. Then there's food, water, basics - whatever else. It's implied you'd be living on the fringes of civilization, not 100% subsistence innawoods. And you could live this way and still live in a major metro - just become a bum and scavenge out of trashcans and sleep under the bridge.
Better get used to the elements - you'll be sleeping in them a lot.
>>28458894
I've done it 4 times
19-gap year
23-after college
27-burnt out : needed refreshing
30-relaxing
>>28458620
That guy didn't "live off the land", he was some dipshit mentally ill hippy who starved to death. Richard Proenneke is what you're looking for, and even he occasionally had supplies flown in.
>>28459006
How do make the monies?
There's this guy op
>>28456469
He's doing the adventure life
>>28459006
mine worked out okay, i mean i cant complain im objectively better off, but not at all how i wanted it to go
>>28458485
So I can starve to death in the mountains?
>>28459038
Worked in sales. Then invested.
>>28459053
Ime you make your own luck in this world.
If you end up homeless can you just find a homeless shelter and apply for section 8?
>>28459036
He wasn't even a hippy. Just some dopey rich kid. Yes he was a fool.
The book and the movie romanticized it.

Wrong mentality.

Didn't have any sort of connection with my parents. Had no immediate family, didn't see my friends very often. Didn't know what I wanted to do with life and I thought college was a meme. I saw all the people around me doing 9-5 shit until they dropped dead, and that was it. That scared me. I used to think about running and then I gradually realized that I had no attachments to my life so there wasn't really anything to stop me. My dad insisted my room be barebones when I left, so I gave a lot of my shit to Goodwill or just threw it out. You don't realize how much shit you own until it's time to move out and you think about how you've never touched any of it before, but you still own it for some reason. I have a 98 Ford Explorer that is reasonably maintained. I knew a bit about maintaining it myself. Loaded two duffel bags of clothes into the trunk along with things like my CD collection, some camping cookware, inflatable mattress (still never used it) and similar stuff. I had been working since I was 17 and never really spent money on anything so my bank account was good to go. I cancelled my cellphone plan for some outrageous fine that my dad laughed at me for, and bought one of those trashy gas station phones that you pay for minutes on. Then I left. Stopped talking to my parents and past friends for quite awhile after that. I went and did my own thing down south. The only reason I fell out of that mentality is because I decided that I wanted to do more with my life. I go into the army with an Option 40 Ranger contract on my MOS next month. Let me tell you that when you live out of your car, its not fun to try and find past references and past addresses for the army's background check.
>>28459208
Why are you all such freeloading ?
Have some self respect.

you guys are sad, but not in a condescending way. more like in a way that makes me sad
>>28459326
Yep. You just know none of them are going anywhere.
>>28459340
That includes you, anon.
>>28459340
no, they probably are going somewhere, just not somewhere they particularly want to go. dont project your prejudices, faggot

you gotta stop saying stuff like this and then ghosting on me

You aren't self sufficient enough for it.

yea that's how 30% of bums start out
>>28458751
Hey, I'm thinking about doing the exact same thing. Not sure why the Northwest is so appealing to "undesirable" types. The prevalence of counter culture? The foggy weather?
>>28460379
but muh escapism tho!!

Don't go to Hawaii it's a tourist economy

Funny, I'm leaving Colorado for that exact reason
Don't get me wrong it's a pretty neat state, but I've been here my whole life and if I don't break away completely I'll never grow as a person.

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long
