Weaksauce. You probably use generic American singles too. This is your problem. Bland cheese, bland crackers, bland life. Once you fix the cheese and crackers, your life should fall into place.
First off, throw out the saltines. The only good use for them is soup, and oyster crackers are better. What you want is rosemary and olive oil Triscuits. If you're in a "refined" mood(as in subtlety is king), Finncrisp or Kavli is good. Then get a block of Cabot seriously sharp cheddar. Only n00bs use slices. Cut off some reasonable thick pieces, and put them on the crackers. Then you put a huge dollop of Tropical Pepper Co 4x habanero, or El Yucateco green sauce on it, and eat. Don't skimp on the hot sauce. Your problem is you do things half-assed. Make a proper cracker, and load that fucker up.
The only time it's acceptable to leave out the hot sauce is when you're going upscale, using the fancy crackers with boutique cheese. I think that's a little advanced for you at this stage though, so stick with the hot sauce for now. Do that for two weeks, and you'll have a new life. I guarantee it.
I use a block of cheese (1 or 2lb, I think it's 1lb). I just cut it into slices with a knife and then put those four slices on a plate... Get out some Nabisco 'original premium' saltines... Break the slices into 1/4 parts or halfs and put them on the crackers and eat them. If they're thick slices (beyond 1/4") or half a full slice then I usually double up and make a cheese+saltine sandwich.
It's good enough for me. I've never gotten too particular about my cheese and crackers. I stick with what works.
No, YOU stop thinking you really have it. You don't. You're a whiny little shit that cries and complains and has an excuse for every little thing that happens to you. Unlike you, most of us have managed to figure out solutions to life's problems along the way and have turned out reasonably well. I did well in school (engineering), am married, and have a career. What did your "critical thinking" get you exactly? It sure didn't get you into CS, did it?
My wife has a friend that is very much like you -- she has excuses for everything. Either it is someone else's fault or somehow, regular logic and advice don't apply to her because she is somehow "special." She is a joke, just like you.
Oh, and I always enjoy when people say "oh, school is so easy" or "classes are a joke" or stuff like that. If you say stuff like that, you'd better not be getting anything less than an A because if you are getting less than an A and shooting your mouth off like that, that means either 1) you have no clue what you're talking about or 2) you're fucking around.
I don't see how your situation is similar to mine at all. We're very different. Just because you did your work in school doesn't mean you're smart or even good at critical thinking. I deal with a lot of doctors everyday who are no different than you in that regard. You did the work. Congrats. It's not a wonder how motivation can get you to actually do the work and make it easy for you to focus. It's not amazing that you can prioritize your career or school over other things (Maybe other things are good. Thus, you don't have to worry). I have different priorities than most of you because of that. I can't prioritize school when I'm focused on other things.
It's good you found someone you love (I don't see how this is too relevant to your attacks considering a wife is something I wouldn't consider until I was at least 30). I just haven't met anyone besides one or two gals that I liked because of their personality. And to that extent: Just because I'm really good at making girls laugh and good at being entertaining doesn't mean that they're interested in me or that most people are interested in me. Nor does it mean I'm interested in them all the time too. Most of my friends like me because I'm capable of being really funny, and I like them because they're capable of being really funny sometimes too. They give me shit all the time and I enjoy them for that. Most of them are plenty capable of using self-deprecating humor and not feeling insecure during it. I like them for that. It's rare to find those people and that's my main reason for not having plenty of friends here.
EDIT:
It's called respect, supporting other family members and remembering the good times. It's why you don't get any respect here, either.
Time to grow-up, whiny little girl.
I will never see that side of my extended family ever again. Similar to my other side with the exception of one person. There is no such thing as paying respects if someone is dead. They're dead and they don't feel, know, have conscience, or anything.
EDIT2:
Funny, I knew a guy who went to U Dub for Construction Management and had a job coming out of school for $60k/yr and probably a 3.0 GPA. Can't understand why you're having so many problems with that AMAZING 3.whogivesafuck.
You make me laugh. Oh well, I'll take my lack of critical thinking skills self and go have an awesome weekend skydiving because I'm employed even though I graduated with only a 2.7. It's not like I work for a Top 20 general contractor...oh wait, I do.
By the way, when you're money coming in equals your money going out, you suck at saving. Critical think that bitch.
I know one who did that too. He was unemployed for quite a long time and I think has a pretty meager job now.
Also, I don't get what you mean by the last paragraph. It doesn't make any sense with how my savings happen. Also, I think you don't understand cost of living and how much I work or am paid. Both of which are fixed for another month until it could be possible that I get more hours. That will only happen if they don't hire more people, which we're in the process of. So, it's possible all will stay same until school starts again. Only then will I have more money in my income. (Reading the last paragraph again: It really does not make sense. I said how much I net. So, when you net positive amounts of money... you actually are making more money than you're spending)
