>24/F, salary in the low to mid 40s range
>Big city native that recently moved in with her dad in the burbs to save up money. Dying to move back.
>From an area that gentrified recently and thus is impossible to rent in again- fell in love with a different area.
>Was involved with a guy for 4 years- 3 years fwb, 1 year dating- broke up back in November.
>Initially did the crazy ex gf thing of texting and calling, trying to fix shit, etc. got over him in spring and started dating a new guy who lives immediately north of the area I love.
>Looking for an apartment, found a GREAT DEAL- one that I'm probably not going to find again unless I took an older apartment or apartment in the hood- but it's on the same block as ex.
>Super easy to get to work, probably a 20 minute commute.
>Talked it over with new guy already, he's not afraid of the proximity because my ex was an asshole.
>I have no intention at all of ever getting back with ex.

Should I take this apartment? The two arguments I've been hearing are:
Pro- Taking it is financially reasonable and also dominating a bad situation.
>[I don't know how he's going to react to seeing me with a new guy.]
Con- His friends are going to think I'm insane and trying to get back with him.
>[I don't really care what they think, but that's an assumption I'm making now.]

What does everyone think I should do?

Hey guys. I recently turned 18 and I'm a senior in high school. I'm applying for college with my first choice being gonzaga up in washington state. I have a 4.4 gpa and 28 ACT. Getting in is no problem. However, money will be. So I was wondering if any of you knew a good place to search for scholarships or some specific ones I should apply for. And here's some generic info about me that may help.
I'm a man, living in Oregon State. I plan to major in International Relations and minor in french. I am white and also like a 16th or 8th Pacific islander (no proof other than my grandma telling me that stuff as a kid). I also have aspergers. So if any of you guys have some advice I would really appreciate it.

I am a wreck, due to some events that happened
>i have no trust in women and despise them
>still love them sexually
>long for the feeling of a true platonic love.
>long for the feeling of not being a disappointment to your parents.
>long for someone who would fill this emotional need. picture this like wanting to feel safe in the arms of someone, forget the worries of the world and just cry while they hug me.
>i'm now a degenerate bisexual. longing as well for some one stronger than me to take care of me.
>whenever i speak to someone about who i am, it is use against me and what i am becomes the butt of every joke. this is unrelated to my sexuality
>have grown a great distrust in people since everytime i'm open about something, i dig myself into a deeper hell
>i've developped some kind of barrier that doesn't allow me to study or read anything at all related to a curriculem that i have to study for. basically always drop it for literally even just watching the ceiling.
>love to program draw,and alll other hobbies but i always end up never doing anything.
>in a foreign land with no one that wants to be my friend. and i took a bad habit where i latch on to the first person that i see open up to me.
>i'm missing the role of a proper father and mother figure, even though my father always does his best to support me but i always, always disappoint him, whereas he is giving to a fault where he allows my mother to be a childish idiot no matter how much she destroys our family


theres much much more. i need help. i don't know what kind of help.

I am a typical millenial cunt. Doing nothing, muh vidya etc. I know I can make good money, I have a great gf, but my life just slips the fuck away. Days come and go. I have fun, as I think, but it is nothing. Nothing is happening. What do?

I'm in NYC, and I could possibly go upstate to take the test if it's easier there. My dilemma is that I can drive almost flawlessly, but I cannot for the life of me parallel park. My questions are...
1. Am I guaranteed to get parallel parking as part of my test every time?
2. If I fail the parallel parking part of my test, do I fail the whole thing?
3. If I cannot avoid the parallel parking aspect of the test, does anyone have any /adv/ on how I can figure this out? As things stand I usually can line up my car correctly, but cannot get the parking aspect down.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm holding the knife. I just need encouragement to do it. Give me your worst.

I'm human garbage, so, life isn't worth living. Don't try to encourage me otherwise.

Hey /adv/, particularly interested in hearing from current/recovered drug addicts but open to any suggestions. Here's the run down;
Ive been getting high since i was 15, im 19 now.
Started smoking meth at 17 and i've been to SEVEN different rehab/outpatient programs.

At my longest I had 9 months clean, when i relapsed a little over a year ago, ive only been able to string a month together before i keep getting high again. My last big drug was heroin, and its been a while since i've done that. I've been using again for about a month.

It started with post smoking, all day every day, now its pot with booze, pills, coke, anything I can get my hands on.

I have a chance to take a course at a university but I know my parents won't fund it unless im sober.
>TL;DR drug addict needs help finding motivation to get sober.

ask any clarifying questions you need

How do I stop being reluctant to have a job? I started my first day at a local fast food restaurant today and I hated it. Some of my coworkers were rude for no reason, customers were dicks, and I feel like shit. I'm dreading going to work tomorrow and I'm not sure why I can't just deal with it. My last two jobs I left within the first two weeks, and I'm already making excuses for why I should leave this job (don't want to take time from studying for classes, want more time for extracurriculars and working out, don't want to deal with football gameday rushes, etc.) I don't need the job but I'd like the extra money and experience before I start looking for an internship for next summer. What should I do?

Anyone deal with panic/anxiety attacks? I've been getting them twice a week for three weeks now. They last for 20-30 minutes a time. It hasn't interfered with my work or relationships but they are super unpleasant to go through. My heart starts racing, I feel dizzy and my mind starts acting like I'm in danger. I saw a doctor and he said I'm healthy but show signs of stress. I'm not bad enough that he can prescribe Xanax in his opinion but told me to come back if it gets worse.

I was given some breathing exercises and highly urged to start exercising and eating healthier. I plan on doing these things but what do you do personally to calm yourself and bring down the attacks?

>Bought sno-cone
>Pre-meditated leaving a tip because I experienced negative emotions from not leaving one
>Say "Thank you" as I leave and get food
>They respond with "No, thank you!" because I left a tip
>Don't know why they're saying that to me at first
>Can't remember what just happened because dropping a dollar in a cup felt like a horrible burden lifted from my soul
>Don't even know if they were just thanking me for my business

What does this mean about me?

Would it be rude or offensive to ask a girl what her religion is? I know a scarf wearing girl from another country. She's really pretty and nice and she seems to like me but she's never ever mentioned what religion she is. I want to know because I know muslim girls have strict rules about this sort of thing and I don't want to potentially risk my life because conservative muslim dad doesn't like the white man near his daughter.
