Its her feeling lonely. Whether or not she actually misses you or just wants some validation to help her lonliness pass is debatable - as is how you should respond if at all. Totally your call bro, it was your relationship.

You already knew all this though.

Bro, DO NOT take the bait. Please for your sake do not take the bait. If you act on this and get back together even just to hook up you will regret it.

>>18652537
Only time I've ever nostalgic texts from an ex was when they had an interest in getting back together.

As for what to do that's up to you.

Become a teacher until you figure it out

or until it's too late to back out

and then you're married

and you have a kid

and then you focus on family, because that's what really matters in life.

Physics degree here. I started in IT as a programmer and later went into finance. Being a quant is an awesome job that I would recommend to anyone who can do it.

Ask some academic successes

Not familiar with Oxford whatsoever, but I got into Harvard from a shitty public high school with no AP classes.
You should probably post this on College Confidential or something rather than 4chan.

Do you want fashionable or durable? Often you only get one.

What's your budget?

I'm mildly muscular and prefer higher natural waist cut pants and shorts so I wear Dickies brand. Cheap, tough.

Shirts are just some spandex/poly/cotton blend so they hug slightly and don't sag or bag out.

Your own fashion sense (however judgmental of it you may be) is probably best. If you go off others opinions you could just end up chasing a rabbit hole where you'll end up dressing or looking like a joke and have spent way too much money on bullshit you don't need.

Just do you, man.

>Just do you, man.
Huh, completely forgot about that. The only thing I really don't like is my shoes.

Thank you.

Speaking from someone who has spent almost 6 years on and off in degree program and is just now finishing a BSBA after switching from BS accounting:

Your best bet is to just pick something that is currently in demand and try and find a way to wrap your strengths around it. Absolutely none of the stuff you listed is going to shit for you in terms of a real career unless you want to teach, which in that case, pick anything.

I suggest looking into IT/Medical/Business or Government (if you live in the US).

The world of tech and business is particularly vast, and you can't seem to go wrong with a Bus. Admin. Degree because everyone always needs managers. It's not something that can be outsourced.

Dig into the various departments at the colleges you're looking at and see what specific degrees they offer in high demand fields and like I said try and wrap your own interests into it.

And don't be so quick to cross off skilled tradesmen careers, such as electricians or plumbers. There's a huge dearth of skilled labor right now in the US and if you do it right many tradesman can make six figures once you've been in the field 10+ years.

Renewable energy is a fast grower too, so might want to look into working on/building/designing solar or wind farms. It's a real hot field right now.

The worst thing I ever did was believe only white collar jobs were worth looking at, and now looking back 10+ years I realize I'm not as cut out for them as say, a carpenter or police officer.

And for fucks sake don't go to a private school unless you're goddamn certain that's where you want to go and you can afford it, because your butthole will be feeling those loan payments for eternity if you aren't careful.

Read an article a while back that showed while schools like Harvard Yale etc. Increased the hiring chances/selling power for prospective employees, many HR companies said they were as equally happy with their hiring decisions between both state/public Universities and private.

Meaning, in all reality, with small exception, the degree you pay out your butthole for is only going to stack points on your chances of getting a job, not necessarily anything else, and the price tag may not be worth that marginal uptick.

More money |= Better degree.

Good Soul

>made me think of you
You either tell her to word shit right, or you stop texting yourself.

You matched so she doesn't hate you. Confront and take action. Don't be weird either. Just tell her that you admire her for who she is (girls dig this shit). Then if she asks for specifics, ask for a chance to see more of her so you can relay it to her.

Be honest, but not creepy or clingy. Talk about her positive traits in a casual way.

>Maybe I come off as intimidating? I've had strangers ask me why I never smile or say I looked scary, it's really not a good feeling. Between that and not being able to relate to people when it comes to experiences, goals, aspirations, or popular things, I've been in a bit of a pickle.

I can relate. I'm not in uni, but people are pretty clearly intimidated by me and I don't make friends often, but I also don't feel the need to. Why do you feel like you intimidate people? How do you behave and hold yourself? I have my reasons, and if they're comparable maybe I can offer some advice. Though I should mention I'm don't really share the desire for friends that you do. They either come around or they don't. I've never made friends with someone I had to try with, so that's gonna be my first piece of advice; don't make friends with someone you can't be yourself around in SOME capacity. I know you'll need to hold back on a lot of things but you have to find some common, genuine ground

Same, but I'm a freshman. Don't know why I come off as intimidating or hard to approach

>>18652473
Are you in any clubs? Even as a 3rd year it's not weird to join one. Sometimes the best way to begin a friendship is shared interests. They work as social lubricant and help people open up to one another.

(If you're a weeb, the anime club is actually probably a great place for you. At least from my experience, anyone can fit in there.)

My mother recently gone through spinal surgery. Yeah I was scared, but imagine how your mother is feeling. You need to be there for her and support her in every way, I bet the last thing she wants you to do is to be worried. Sallow it and be strong <3

>>18652443
Depends on what she does for a living or for fun. I'm an "artist" and I ended up cancelling hand surgery for a benign cyst on a tendon for fear of losing my range of motion. One of my friends plays guitar and skates and I'm constantly worried he'll fuck his hand up.

Good luck, OP. It's normal to be antsy about these kinds of things.

I'm gonna fuck that fox

Why don't you have any business having a relationship?

Start talking to girls with the intention of finding a gf. One of two things will happen.

1). You get a gf. Success!
2). You realize what a complete waste of time chasing women are and give up completely.

That rat looks wasted

Go see a doctor and get a shot tf is wrong with you

>>18652386
Yeah, killed him with my slipper afterwards.
And get a shot means the tetanus one?

>>18652379
That dirty, double crossing rat.

>>18652378
So do you want some advice here or...?

>what's "real"?
What do you mean?
Dreams are real in a sense that people can experience them but they don't have a material counterpart. You aren't going to another reality when you dream.

>>18652413
What I do with my life, I try to find it and I think it's similar to these people in my dreams. Do you understand why I like those people? Few are like them, so much energy put into being good people...

I question what the meaning of life is, and if what I wanted was ever what I really wanted...

>You aren't going to another reality when you dream.
Maybe your analysis is wrong, you're like not even open to an explanation.

>you're like not even open to an explanation.
What do you mean? I am willing to talk to you here but that doesn't mean I have to agree with you.
I will accept it as a possibility when there's anything to back it up with.
If someone goes "hey what if everyone are actually just rabbits?" I'm not gonna go "who knows!". There has to be something to point that way. Otherwise it's just weed philosophies

>>18652353
No contact as in: You're avoiding contacting someone first in order for them to contact you first?

Elaborate pls

>>18652382
GF of a year and a half dumped me, so I'm changing my life around and hoping to get back in touch in awhile, and hoping to show that my life changes are permanent, and then hoping that sparks some interest again. A lotta hope here, but I'm making the changes either way, so if it doesn't work out, I will still have a better life than before.

>>18652382
Not OP but I kinda imagined it means avoiding contact with literally everybody until you go mental and start hallucinating anime girls

>>18652352
It's certainly not normal for teens get their dog to lick their balls. However I'm sure a lot of teens have experimented with other weird sexual things.

>>18652352
Wouldn't know since I never had a dog but I have to say I'd never let a dog's mouth come anywhere near my balls, you never know if he's gonna mistake them for tennis balls and just grab them, you are a brave man my dude

>>18652352
>it normal or atleast common for teenage boys to do this
uh, if it's any consolation, lots of girls have done this at least once.
just don't do it again.

She's a whore.

>>18652312
Talk to her about it. If she isn't willing to have a conversation about it then get out before you get more attached. Make sure you both have the same idea about the level of commitment involved with your relationship. Don't get cucked anon, I believe in you.

>I'm a confident alpha guy but should I be worried?
It was already shit before that...

>>18652305
how old are you?

>>18652305
You should leave her only if you dont like her no more, cause if she's like that, its not that she's crazzy, but she really needs help, she looks like a drepessive person, and you need to find out what makes her that way, and she really need to look for a specialist help.
