1.school

I disagree with your priorities. IMO they should be:

1: School (Obviouse)

2: Friends (they will help you network around campus, get invited to parties, and give advice about girls,
and good to joke with when you strike out)

3: Girls (if/when this fails you always have friends to fall back on.)

Numbers 2 and 3 equal Fun.

Don't sweat it too much, its only been a month, I had a slow first month my freshman year, but i got through it. I have some of the best friends i will ever have as a result of it.

I always hate ppl whining about college. I worked 40 hours a week (often times more) and carried a 15 hour course load with a math major (not easy) and graduated cum laude. . .NOT to mention I met my wife, had kids, etc - all at the same time.

meh, i've been in it for 2 years. and I swear, I dont think that getting more used to it has made that much of a difference. college still cripples my life.

Oh, I thought you had just started college. NM.

I don't know whether to congratulate you, or question your sanity?

I did the 40+ hours a week and 15 hour load as well... sure as hell didn't graduate cum laude... as for the women.. I stuck to the Snoop rules

1) We don't love dem hoes

2) We don't love dem hoes

3) Don't get busy without a jimmy hat

Not this one... but it wouldn't make a difference for me. Don't have the confidence to approach any.

I should get out of this dorm more =(

Best advice ever: Try approaching the really ugly ones first... become their friends... you learn female interaction, gain friends, build your confidence.

As a math major, I would like to point out the converse to your rant. . .

lol

even tho you are teasing me, I have to laugh at that.

 

[episodic]

Good you are learning the first lesson when the going gets rough - laugh. That will get you a long way.

Good luck btw. I'm not really good at life, I am just trying to hurry up and get it all done. . . guys in my family have a habit of dropping dead at around 55. . . I have a sense of urgency

Alright dude... Ive thought about it and im going to break it all down for you. When you go through the experiences at...

College - Spend time working during the day. Put off video games, thinking, whatever you are doing during the day and get your work done ahead of time. If you actually buckle down and work, youll be surprised at how much crap you can get done. A lot of people wait until the last minute to do it all, but as you have proven, you aren't one of those people. Just throw on some music (unless that distracts you) and do the homework the DAY its given. Even if its not due in 2 days, better to have it done early then scramble the last minute. With doing this you should have time at night and on weekends to have a...

Social life - Get out. Go to bowling alleys, go to the Union, Drink some beer, watch some movies. Join some clubs that share your interest. Through these clubs you should make some FRIENDS down there. Eventually through making friends you can meet...

Girls - Dont think about which girls you can or can not date. The first step is to get introduced to them and meet THEIR female friends. That way you can meet many girls and increase the odds of finding one that somehow relates to you in this big blue ball we call EARTH. Then you two crazy lovebirds can enjoy life, or we'll see some YAGT's from you about what to do on a first date or something like that.

This, skywalker66, is your BIBLE. Live by these words. There should be no thread created by you now about schoolwork, making friends, or meeting girls after this post. Thank you and have a nice night.

(Wow i got through it without being that mean... i deserve a :beer

LoL you're definitely right about that. This girl i know in my dorms was here last week with a cute friend. I mentioned that I found her to be very cute, she told me she'd hook me up with her.
What takes the cake is she's like 5 5" blond blue eyes, and she's not into white guys, so that elimited all my roommates. They were pretty disappointed when she mentioned it to them.

He doesn't need sympathy.

He needs a wake up call to go get pychiatric help. Its no big deal, we all get sick. He just hasn't seen a doctor to help his illness.

Its like other posts..."I've cut my arm off and don't know what to do!"

"see a doctor"

"Stress is killing me and I don't know how to cope"

"see a doctor"

There are all kinds of coping mechanisms and even medication that can help. Please skywalker, get the help you so desparately need.

 

[spidey07]

the ppl wont let me get to know them because they dont like me. no matter what I do, no matter how 'normal I act' I cant hide the stigma that goes with me that screams out "loser!"

OK!

dammit!!!!
that crap is all in your head and if you would listen to me and get some help you'll be all better. Sure its fun to make fun of you but at the same time I HAVE to help you (its my nature and my beliefs).

I've done this with you before and you still make no action (first sign of major depression)

1) Make appointment
2) Attend appointment
3) Continue appointments

We're talking like 2 hours a week to see a p-doc. Now grow a freakin' pair and go to the doctor!!!!!!!!!!

What would you think if you had a sore throat for a year? Something's wrong right?

You are mentally ill and need to see a doctor. Its no big deal, we all go through it at some point in our lives. I've been though it, I'm going through it. But you know what? I'm taking action to resolve it.

And so should you.

I am listening. The problem is that it is much easier said than done. I dont think I can get my homework all done during the day, because for some reason I just dont have the motivation to get it all done that early. I agree that in theory your idea would work very well, its just that its much harder to put into practice.

it requires a little thing called discipline, which i dont have.

Jeebus, I thought this was a real thread, then I saw Skywalker's name... :roll:

Speaking seriously for a moment. It sounds like you're in the midst of a fairly serious bout of depression. No need to duck the issue or feel shameful, many of us have fought with it ourselves and it's not always a short term affair. Speak to a counselor on campus about it, and while you shouldn't try to excuse your poor grades for any reason you might want to bring that subject up to see if her or she can help you out with deadlines or whatnot a little.

Speaking from a socializing point of view, just try to hang out with a totally different bunch of people who don't see you in negative terms. You have an opportunity in college to remake yourself however you want. It just takes some determination.

Good luck.

another message fo martymcfly3,

okay, so when u say meet friends to meet girls. u mean like meet friends that I can get tight with and hang out with, right?

Do you think that this can happen at bowling alleys, the Union, etc? or do you think this needs to happen at clubs?
When you say clubs, what types of clubs are you referring to?
