I dropped out of community college about two years ago
I only went for a semester or two but I did pretty poorly
Can I go back to the same school on a clean slate to get my gen ed and transfer out? Or should I go somewhere else entirely? It's most convenient to be able to go back to the original community college if possible

Call your college and ask. It'd be hard to get a factual answer on an advice board.
You're asking for help though and you're on the right track. I believe in you anon. You're going to make it.

>>18072657
Yes, you can go back to the same community college and retake the courses that you failed and then some more. When you pass them with a B or higher, then you will have a clean slate and be able to transfer out and or get an associates in whatever..within the realm of what you're studying. General studies, liberal arts, biological sciences whatever
You can do two classes a week at night, one MW and another T Thursday while working during the day
Knock out those dumb 100 level courses like english 101, history, algebra. Look at the online course catalog and see what's offered online for the semester. If you do an online class, get rid of the weekly discussions/homework as early as possible, like Monday, so you don't get into the habit of waiting till Sunday at 11:59 for submission time
You may even qualify for financial aid in the way of FAFSA but do not take out student loans unless you can repay them within months of completing the semester. Save that bullshit for the Uni level
>>
>>18072711
In addition to, get a checklist for the general studies/liberal arts associates so you take the classes that you NEED and not necessarily for FUN because it may turn into wasted time
Ask one of the academic advisors for their version of a "fast track" program to transfer into the nearby state college/university if that's what you want to do. In-state = much cheaper tuition
Apply for scholarships too.. Lots of $$$$ available and not enough students to dump it on

/adv/ I need your help to be less of a shithead. I've been online dating for a few months, and I fucked an extremely hot 20 year old for awhile, and then a pert, athletic 25 year old with like the best body I've ever seen. They were both dynamite in bed but fucking awful people who basically ruined me mentally. Like, my experiences with them were traumatically awful, and made me almost give up on dating again and go another decade as a pure robot.
However, before I gave up, a really nice girl messaged me on tinder. We get along really great, she's smart af, cultured, works in a really cool field, and is like the kind of girl I can see myself really spending a long time with. The only problem is...she's just not as attractive as other girls I've been with, physically. Like I can typically do pretty well with really attractive girls because I'm pretty handsome, and I keep thinking "boy I wish I could put her head on (other girls) body".
How do I stop this? She's awesome, not ugly or anything, and kinky as hell and down for literally anything. Our sex is amazing. I'm just not, like, quite as into her body as I was the other girls I dated.
How important is this? I'm a robot new to the dating world and it seems to me like mental compatibility is rpobably what really matters, since my looks will fade, and I want a real relationship

Bump, I need advice. I think I'm in love with this girl and I want to get over this ASAP
>>
Just hang out with her, be with her. When she's beautiful on the inside, she will become to you as beautiful on the outside.
I just found out for sure that my ex is back together with her exboyfriend
She made a protective order against him while we were together for emotional abuse and harassment.
I don't feel spiteful towards her whatsoever, in fact I still care about and want the best for her.
I know this guy isn't the kind of person she should be with.
Everything she told me about him was how much he cheated, lied, and treated her poorly in general.
I haven't tried speaking to her in almost 3 three months and I want to try to prevent her from making the same mistake again.
I have no interest in getting back together with her, only for her well being.
Even though I know my word won't mean anything to her, I can't help sitting idly by while she ruins her life.
Should I try to talk to her or find joy that she'll deal with the repercussions of her actions?

I know i can't have millions of dollars on a lousy websites but there should be a way to earn more than 1 cent.

I made 1000 bucks on Fiverr. I had a gig about video editing and when I started I didnt know anything. Didnt know how to edit, what to use. But after 2 months of my profile there collecting dust, a guy messaged me to blur a face on 1 of his videos. So I watched youtube tutorials how to do it. Did it in 30 minutes. In matter of 6 months, many orders later, I made total of 1000 dollars. I learned fairly fast with watching youtube tutorials. I can now edit REALLY complex stuff without any problem and I usually decline any cheap projects and focus on the more expensive ones. I can do 1 order in the matter of 40 minutes. My last order was 50 dollars and I spent like 25 minutes on it. Now that my profile is fairly popular and is on the first page when someone searches for video editors, many people message me and I predict that in the next 2 months I can make double the money I made in the last 6 months. Good luck with your journey OP.
I'm slipping into alcoholism, I can feel it. It has been lingering for a long time, and although I don't show any classical severe dependency symptomps (intefering with work, neglecting duties due to addiction, withdrawal symptoms) yet, I am drinking more than half of weekdays. Maybe not so much that I can't do what I want to do, but when I get home I drink a little "to get the edge off", even before I make dinner. Then I have one or two more because it's comfortable, and then I go to bed.
How to deal with?

I was getting drunk at 1pm on a work day when I looked for a solution. Going completely dry didn't work, nor did weening. I eventually tried microdosing 4-FA with 15mg a day and found I had absolutely no desire to drink. I was able to leave my liquor cabinet in-tact and untouched for weeks as I spaced out the small doses.
Eventually I was at about 9 weeks sober when I had my first drink and stopped at 2. Since then I'm at a few drinks each month with friends, no problems with an urge to drink or drinking excessively. I can go completely without or stop at just a few.

Theres this really pretty girl I used to work with who is way above the league of most guys at work. I've long since resigned from that workplace but I can't help thinking about her. I was in friendly speaking terms with her and I uses to flirt with her sometimes. She let me play with her hair, hold her hands, and she even let me touch her cheeks and lips making her smile and blush. Do you think I had a chance with her?

In a world where high self esteem is encouraged, I find it highly destructive. I have found when I had high self esteem, my mind and life were clouded by my pride/ego and I became absorbed in my selfishness. When I had a low view of myself, my knowledge and my abilities, I found myself thinking of the benefit of others a lot more, and I cared less for myself because in those moments, I found my condition unchangeable, that it cannot be helped, and attempts would be wasted. I simply accepted and agreed with my condition of being no good, and it brought me peace to know that it's not something I need to fight or change. This vision brought my eyes to heaven, to look at God who is perfect and so good to me despite my low self, which led me further from my selfish desires and closer to His heart. It's as if I would lose myself in sight of Him, because self was nothing, I was nothing, and I need not look to myself for anything, or any hope. I found this to be freeing and fulfilling both within and without. So the problem is not low self esteem. The problem is not accepting your low self esteem to be based on the fact that you're imperfect, and trying to change it. This trying to change it and trying to make yourself better or receive recognition from others that you are better than you know yourself to be - is the problem. It's not low self esteem, it's an improper response to low self esteem that is the problem. And choosing high self esteem is choosing evil itself. - Pavel Rudometkin

"Me time" has never really made me happy, but rather empty. Whether it's sleep, or hobbies, or personal achievement. What made me happy was losing "me" and acting in love for the benefit of others, rather than myself, within reason. Selflessness filled me up, selfishness dried me out, even in basic human needs. Interestingly, when I was selfless, somehow the basic human needs were always taken care of, as if some Being blessed me from above, with His providential provision. - Pavel Rudometkin

"Selfishness" can be positive when it's applied to productive goals. You'll notice that a lot of great, world-changing people throughout history had poor personal relationships, because the kind of single-minded drive that gets big things done doesn't always leave much room to pay attention to others, or spare their feelings when turning their ideas down.
If the world was populated only by caring, considerate people who always put others first, society would stagnate and die. Though it would be quite pleasant and comfortable for a few years, before the invasion.

and i just need some advice or someone to talk to. my girlfriend and i have been together about 6 months and it was one of those whirlwind romances. we fell very hard for one another and were talking about living together and marriage and so on then all of a sudden shit starts getting hectic at her work and she says she needs space. she then goes on to say that she doesn't want to talk about marriage or for me to say i love her and so on and so on. i admit i kind of freaked out a little bit but soon regained my composure, apologized and said i understood.
i gave her her space while i was taking care of my friend who has brain cancer. then she suggests we get dinner and go out for drinks. we do and had a great time until she got drunk and i was trying to calm her down and she got extremely defensive. i was basically crying in a bar and admitted to her that the last week had been very hard on me and i was suicidal. she shrugged her shoulders.
we get back to her place, she appologizes, we lay down and she says she loves me. the next 2 nights i spent over there were weird, but not necessarily bad. she cooked me dinner and the whole time barely said a word to me but would come over and kiss me every now and then.
she hasn't been very talkative (again, i'm assuming it's stress from work) but last night out of the blue, she tells me her ex's cancer may have come back and that she needs "serious space and time" with her ex. i asked what she meant and she said she didn't know. i asked her if she still wanted to be with me and she said that right now there may be more important things than us.
i get that she has 2 kids with the guy, but this just strikes me as some high school bullshit. everytime she gets stressed out, nervous, anxious, etc, it's me she cuts out of her life. no one else. i feel like i'm expendable. she's 42 years old, i'm 33. i don't think that this shit should be happening at this point in my life.
i don't know what to do and i don't know what to say.

Have been struggling with my gamble addiction for a long while and got me in an huge debt. I'm 21, going back to school next year but don't have enough cash. Started gambling online when I was 17 and till now and got left with 20k student loans, -1000 on my bank account and owe friends and people 2310. Working now and earning 1k per month but gotta give it to my debts everytime I receive it, gave up my social life, lost everyone because I never got money and isolate myself. Now my study starts up in a couple of months and costs me 2k, but I wanna stop sitting at home everyday crying about having no money and go out or something.
Any suggestion how I should work this out?

How much time do you have to sit at home?
So... I used to be really depressed so I started seeing a psychologist who helped me a lot.
We discovered together that I have an inferiority complex that's linked to the way I was treated by my brother when I was younger... I now can see how he pushed me so hard into believing I was shit until I actually believed it.
When I was around 9 yo, my nickname was 'shit', cuz I was shit at soccer...
The point is... This complex has made me lose so much... I never feel confortable around women because I think I don't deserve a healthy and happy relationship... I'm always in the supporting role in my own life.
I've fought so hard to beat this feelings, I've come to terms with them, but nothing changed... So I started trying to respect it more, as if I just didn't want all those things I'm not getting, but I can see my life go by and I'm here... Like a little kid, without taking hold of what's mine, without manning up to do great stuff because, well, deep inside I think I'm shit and I don't deserve anything...
All that was put into such a lower level after a few years of therapy, but this days it seems like it all just came back. I'm feeling so depressed, so hopeless... I'm wondering if I'll have to live with this feeling of inferiority for the rest of my life...
My psychologist wants me to forgive my brother... As if that would bring closure to the feelings... She says all he did made me a very empathetic person, it made me who I am... But I can't see how this overgrown empathy could ever help me... It makes me suffer, it makes me see suffering, it makes me wanna help people, give them what should be mine...
I mean... I don't even know what to say... I'd like you guys to give me tips on beating this inferiority complex and all the jealousy and envy that I feel with it.

You know what they say, success is the best revenge. Become good at something, become the ideal version of yourself, become smarter, kinder, fairer, more brave. Do things, have new experiences and meet interesting people. Get a job you like, find someone to love, become proud of yourself. Write a list of things you'd like to accomplish and don't give a shit whether you "deserve it" or not, just start working on it. The one day, in the distant future you'll look at your brother and realize that he's really nothing special and in fact you did just as well, if not even better. Don't forgive him, make him your motivation.
>>
>>18072372
Thanks for the reply, anon...
I wish I could, but all those thoughts and feelings of underserving are unconscious...
My behaviour changes against my conscious will...
Funny you say, I have that list. I have fought and have accomplished many things on it, I don't wanna pass the impression I'm not moving... But still, the important things to me always escape my grasp and I realize it was my fault...
>>
>>18072384
>I have fought and have accomplished many things on it
Then you're getting there. As long as you're trying, you're doing better than most people who are in a shitty situation in life. You have to realize that victories don't come overnight. It's two steps forward and one back, but as long as you keep trying, you'll probably improve all the time.

I need some advice, if you have a strange addiction or an unusual fetish thats been controlling your life. Whats are some good ways to get control of your life back from this? I'm trying to quit my addiction cold turkey, cause its been on my mind a lot and its been affecting my social life and my work. But a friend told me I shouldnt go with the nuclear option of quitting it entirely. But I feel if its become such a problem thats its making you unhappy and you can't enjoy yourself anymore because of it, its time to make changes. Hope someone can share some advice.

Porn addiction, I've spent money on various kinds of fetish porn over the years, and now that I want to start a serious career, I feel its best that I quit spending money on this. Its too risky to keep spending money on it and possibly have coworkers and family find out about this.

Lately I've been having absolutely wild, long, awful nightmares, and I toss and turn all night. Even if I set myself up to get 9+ hours of sleep, I wake up like I've been run through the ringer.
The dreams will range anywhere from having to go back to high school because I missed a credit, to my friends all dying in a tornado we were running from, to last night, where a group of us got caught by ISIS and they made us watch as they raped and beheaded one of our friends.
It genuinely is affecting my mood. Any way to stop this and get peaceful sleep?

the only thing I know of to stop dreaming is smoking weed. It doesn't work with everyone but me and a few friends noticed that we don't dream if we smoke weed. It also makes it harder for me to go to sleep though too
Other than that maybe a psychiatrist could prescribe something?

I'm not in the best conditions and i want to get in shape, i've planned out what i'm gonna do and i'm already doing it, is this enough to get me in shape or do i need to do more?
>run and go up hills in the forest everyday at least once a day.
>only drink water and eat fruits and vegetables as snacks.
>limit my dinner proportions.
Is this enough? If not give me some suggestions (like exercises).

depends. are you burning more calories than you're putting into yourself? as a general rule 1500 calories is what you need to eat in order to lose weight. this varies, but its a general rule.
some people can sit down and eat 1500 calories in a 'limited dinner proportion'.

>>18072244
go to a gym

>>18072244
You might want to start easy on the running if you're really out of shape. It can damage your knees, cause injuries and such until your muscles syrenghten, so every other day at first max, preferably only a few times a week for the first 2-3 weeks until your fitness and endurance improves. Go easy at first. If you start hurting after the first week, it will kill your motivation.
Add body weight excersice to your routine. Push ups, different versions of sit ups and such are a good place to start. Building some muscle mass will make other excersice easier. Google some beginners programmes for this, there are plenty. Do them in the morning and evening and slowly you'll realize it starts to get easier. Takes only a few minutes and costs nothing.
Also, if possible replace the running with swimming on occasion. It trains different muscles and is super effective without straining joints, so it's a beginner friendly excersice.
Eat your fullest meals early on in the day and eat lighter towards evening. This way the consumed calories will go towards those you actually spend during the day.
Hope this helps some.

Hey /adv/, so i love my girlfriend and we've been together for 3 years (i'm 23 and she's 22) but she's a total crazy.
Since last year it's been like this... she can be super lovely and happy one day but next day she gets mad because whatever stupid reason and she focus all her anger and hatred on me (insults me, insults my family and shit like that).
We end up fightning, i try to be polite but she's just so irrational that gets out the worse of me and i end up saying mean things to her too. At the end we always settle things but i'm the only one who apologizes or feels bad about what i said or did, right now we had a fight through Facebook Messenger and i blocked her, knowing her she will get mad after 1 or 2 days and will go look for me.
Problem is, even if i decline to see her or talk when she goes to look for me, she starts to get violent.
TL;DR:
>Crazy Girlfriend gets mad and focurs her anger with insults against me.
>Impossible to talk to her.
>I block her in an attempt to be safe and don't read stuff that can and will hurt my feelings.
>If i block her she looks for me and NEVER takes a NO
>Gets violent, insults my mother, family and friends.
>When we settle everything she never accepts her faults and still blames me but with her "cute" voice.
>I end up apologizing for things i never did.
>Seriously feel bad about this because i try my best for her and all my money and time go to her
>Finally losing hope on her
Is this a doomed relationship? I seriously love her but i can't keep it like this forever, she distracts me from school and my job.
It's very heartbreaking because she can be so sweet and caring...

It's unhealthy, you don't even live together and have these problems that's kind of fucked.
If you want a future with her you need to be able to talk it out normally, fights shouldn't last that long to begin with.
Those emotional outbursts will always be lifted onto you unless you go ahead and tell her you want her to try harder or you will end it.
Again, talking is most important here and if she can't do that then leave her before she screws you up and you become her.
>>
>>18072218
>I end up apologizing for things i never did
Sounds like a definitely unhealthy if not abusive relationship. Especially if it escalates to physical violence. This is not okay. You need to really reconsider if her "sweet" phases are really worth it if she's making you feel like shit and acts violent. A relationship is supposed to make you feel better about life and your partner is supposed to be a support system, not someone who drags you down and then kicks you. What are you really getting from this relationship that makes it worth it? Do you not think you'd be better off finding someone who treats you decently and respectfully even if you do fight? You deserve better than this.

The person who is supposed to love me and support me is actually abusive and decietful and manipulative.
Am I in a bad relationship guys?
