I need some advice about going back to college.
I do have an associate's in science, 63 credit hours with a cup GPA of 2.42. After working as an apprentice electrician for a year, I have decided that the trade life is not for me. I just don't think I am living up to my potential. I don't see myself doing this shit for the rest of my life.
I know that GPA is shit. For the first few semesters my GPA was around 3.5. It went down due to excessive drinking. Now that I cut that bullshit out, and have new motivation to apply myself to studies, I hope I can make it if I return to school.
How wishful is my thinking?
I plan on majoring in accounting/finance. I still have to earn ~78 credit hours. I hope to raise the GPA to At least 3.0

Hi /b/, I feel I want to go into the advertising industry. I thought I'd just run you by one of my ideas. In this case it's an advert for the Dove brand. I've modified lyrics of a popular song.
Please tell me what you think.
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the Dove I need
To see me through
Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the Dove I need
To see me through
When food is gone you are my daily meal, oh
When friends are gone I know my savior's Dove is real
Your Dove is real
'Cause you got the Dove
You got the Dove
(repeat 5x)
Time after time I think "Oh Lord what's the use?"
Time after time I think it's just no good
'Cause sooner or later in life, the things you love you loose
But you got the Dove I need
To see me through
You got the Dove
(repeat 10x)
Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
'Cause I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the Dove I need to see me through

Without judging your poetry I'll just point out that you're going at it backwards.
The first step in any ad campaign is to decide what image and message you want to attack to the product. Is Dove good for you? A luxury? A solution to dry skin or body odor? Something else?
The ad team works with the client and with market research to fine-tune the message to be delivered, and only THEN begins to look for ways to deliver it.
Your song is all over the place in what it says Dove is for, and therefore fails as advertising.

>>18705784
Nobody can justify the cost of an advertisement slot that long. Maybe published as a youtube video or something.

I'm 22 and I think anxiety fucked me up, I used to push my belly out cus I thought that what they say with belly breathing, since then I'm anxious if I'm breahting right or wrong, yes I'm still here and alive, but I've started coughing and sometimes I feel like throwing up, not like sick, but like I have to puke or something. I don't know what the fuck is going on I never had respitory problems, any idea?

Sounds like psychosomatic symptoms of anxiety. It's nothing to worry about, but me saying that probably won't make you stop worrying. Anxiety can cause all kinds of physical symptoms, but none of them are dangerous. Keep that on your mind. Other than that, try to cope with your anxiety. Get rid of the cause, go exercise, spend time outside, etc. If that doesn't help, go to a psychotherapist.
Of course, I don't know how long this has been bothering you. If it's just a short-term thing due to some upcoming stressful event, then just wait it out.

Thanks, and I even started focusing on my body and it doesn't help.

I feel the lungs or something between my chest and back, I recently got aware of this, is this normal? I asked my friend he told me he doesn't feel anything so I became a bit worried.

My dad lives interstate but we text daily and we speak on the phone a couple of times a week. Ive been really busy this week and only just realized I havent heard from him in 5 days. I texted him 7 hours ago and tried calling multiple and his phone is off. He suffers from significant mental health issues.
Should i be concerned i havent heard from him? I can remember a few times where we havent spoken on the phone for a week but he always texts me something nearly everyday. Not sure what to do as he lives many miles away and he doesn't have any friends in his state

My dad wants to go to Florida after the Hurricane strikes. He does blue collar work, and he cares about quality. He wants to make money by helping fix everything up. Would this work? How much money is he going to bring in? I'm thinking about going with him.

Will the cost of living in Miami go down after this?

It would if he has contacts with people there that can hook him up with a company. Debris removal and rebuilding crews made a killing in New Orleans after a flood, but only the people affiliated with companies working for the government on the contracts got the good gigs. Working for actual people is a bad idea in a situation like this.

Great, thank you anon. He isn't associated with any specific company. He lives in West Virginia, and he's driving down to Florida. So you know how he can become associated with a company like that?

How should I answer the question "why do you love me?"?

Or she doesn't feel the same way.

Because she wants compliments and nice things.
Honestly write the things you like about her.

So about 2 weeks ago i wen to my first house party ever together with a friend. At the party there was only two girls from my class and i didn't really know them that well.
I got drunk and ended up getting really intimite with one of the girls. She's an introverted tiny little blonde cutie that normally didn't talk so much, but she was drunk aswell so she was more sociable i guess? anyway, she started telling me that she's had a crush on me for like 2 years and said she really liked me even though we didn't even know eachother that well. I've never had any feelings for her but when she told me that i felt some sort of connection to her or something so we ended up kissing and shit. The next day after the party we weren't drunk anymore and we just chilled together for a while then i went home.
After that we have become really good friends and i'm going to meet her today at her place. I really do like her now and i know that she likes me, the question i have is: Should we fuck or not? If we do, it will most likely be awkward in school because i don't want a realtionship, i'm to fucked in the head for that. But if i go there and just chill with her and nothing more, will that become awkward? Please help me i'm going soon to her.

Talk to her if she is ok with just sex, even if she get disappointed, she will appreciate your honesty to not pump and dump her.

My mother is 55 and she has been like this for a year, it is not like she is suicidal, she does things, but it's like the life was sucked out of her, like she isn't smiling or laughing or anything when she used to, idk. We tried to bring her to do yoga and etc. but then she stopped going, what could we do???

She is just getting old
It's genetic, probably not anyone's fault
>>
>>18705610
get her tested for a MTHFR genetic mutation.
i have this mutation (a horrible form of it) and half of americans have the mild from of it.
it causes me anxiety, depression, and i have chronic fatigue syndrome because if makes me constantly exhausted.
is your mom going through menopause or about to? that could very much be it
if it's not menopause i say look into mental health problems causing the fatigue. i'm never suicidal but i sleep 15 hours a day
>>
>>18705610
Take her to a docter and get her blood tested first and foremost. To me, it sounds like she's depressed, and that could be due to anything.

Bro I think ig would be good for her/him to have something to belive in that will get rid of all his pains you should shove it up his ass if you have to.If he starts to like it don't stop there maybe try bannana or a kiwi and if all goes well you might also end up with a fully home processed shakesalad
I can get you some recipes if you like but I am warning you I am more of a make it yourself type and so the end result might be diffrent depending on the metabolism of your retarded camel
Stressed out and genuinely scared right now.
I got in a heated argument with a neighbor who might be a psycho and I'm afraid of the consequences.
I used to live alone now with my sister. A year or so ago this guy moved in the apartment block and acted all friendly. I let him put some of his shit in an annex I have even if I didn't particularly like the guy cause I'm a bit of a pushover. Since then I kept getting calls where I would have to open shit up for him so he can put more or take out something.
Yesterday I got two calls while at work that I ignored. Came home and asked my sis if he knocked on the door or something she said no and that a friend of hers was keeping her baby stroller in that annex.
Fast forward to this morning I wake up to her telling me that the guy saw her friend take the stroller out and demanded that he make him a spare key for the annex.
I got pissed and went over, knocked on his door and demanded he take all his shit out. I was angry and shaking and at one point he put his fist against my face and said he'd knock my teeth out. I said I'm not scared of him and proceeded to take his shit out. He took it to his apartment and said something along the lines of "this is not over". Again I told him I'm not afraid of him and went inside.
Now I'm afraid of the consequences. He's a very shady dude, totally atypical for the area I'm living in (he moved here from a bigger city). I've heard all kinds of rumors that he might be involved with shady people. He works construction so despite my posturing he can easily beat my ass up. Despite all that I think he's also a bit of bully/coward. I can read people pretty well when it comes to that. I'm not so much afraid of him doing anything sober but he might get ideas if he gets angry/drunk.
Aside from getting a firearm, which is not easy or cheap where I live, what can I do to prevent anything from happening to me or my sis?

Did you have sex with your sister
>>
Once the adrenaline settles down for both of you things should look a little more rational. If there is a further incident you are just going to have to say yeah things got a little unnecessarily heated there, that you were doing him a favour, you can't demand your own key, just chill out.
Assuming that he'll concoct some revenge over this or is now out to get you seem either paranoid unless he is more insane that you are letting on. What is he going to do? Talk to his shady friends about how you were letting him keep some stuff in a spare room and now you aren't because you got sick of having to make yourself available for him? You said shady not dumb.
It sounds a little like you flipped your shit because you got the impression that he was being aggressive towards your sister. You got the idea he was threatening your sister, got a little worked up, chill out.

accomplished employed 26yo male here
I came home from work to my own apartment.
I played overwatch all night and watched some anime afterwards.
Then fapped to porn and sexted a couple girls online for nudes.
I had a fucking blast, pure bliss.
Why do I find this more attractive than going out to bars and talking to random people/acquintances?
Why are most people my age hanging out at wine bars, bars, restaurants and having a blast?
But to me that seems so boring?
The only way I feel this could be improved is to getting a gf and just fucking/gaming/cuddle watch anime (did that with ex)
I know it sounds like what a need does, but now that I'm pretty successful, I find this so much fun and happy?

How can I tell if someone was abused as a kid?
He's from a single mother household but said mother strikes me as an overachieving and very successful woman.
He likes me because, looks wise, I'm small and slender (people often think I'm way younger than I am)
He's amazing with kids but often feels uncomfortable around them. Especially girls and especially my youngest sister who adores him.
I showed him a few young instagram models and asked him to honestly rate them. He went on for ages about the morality but finally admitted he finds them stunning.
He'd never had a relationship last longer than 3 months efore we started seeing eachother
He hates anime because he says the characters look like "babies with tits"
I saw some art he did as a kid and it was a guy getting his private parts fiddled with by two monsters(?!?!?!)
Would any of you guys see any of that as a red flag? I might be trying to find something wrong with him but I feel it might be something he hides from himself too... After all it seems like his mom has sort of hero status in their family.

one of the biggest redflags here is that he's both good with kids yet finds dealing with him uncomfortable .
probably because he heard about the fact that most child molesters have been molested at childhood .
he likes you because you look like jailbait, it couldn't be more obvious .
the young instagram models thing prove that he's rationalized through morality that finding children attractive is wrong.
thats a red flag.
3 months are probably due to the fact that whatever he's hiding good/bad emerged (don't take my word for it)
anime sexualizes children quite often, and according to his "Moral" code that makes anime deplorable .
the art stuff are more than sufficient proof of molestation .
but OP, i'm proud of you for taking second opinions .
there is this channel about male molestation victims , it has a lot darker and clearer shit than some anonymous .
https://www.youtube.com/user/SurvivorsUK/videos
watch them and judge for yourself.
Finally:
first thing to do when you meet him, ask him about his childhood.
if he was molested he'll probably tell you .
then it's up to you to keep the relationship or break it .

>> Be me
>> In long distance relationship for a year and three months
>> we only got to see eachother every few months but when we did we stayed at the others place for weeks at a time.
>> dedicate everything to the relationship, plan to move up to her after school for uni, and in general plan my life around the idea that wed be together and therefore id be moving there
A few days ago she broke up with me and i have no idea what to do, she says that we'll probably end up back together but she needs some space and time to think shit through yet shes not willing to cut communication. I considered killing myself until she said that we still had a chnace and honestly i dont like my chances if she decides im not what makes her happy.. Anyway /b/ what do I do, im about to sit my final exams and in a couple of months ill have graduated school, i have my 18th coming up in a month which she was going to come down for but now idk if she will or where shell stay if she does come. Ive got so much shit to plan and honestly my whole life to set up and this has hit me straight in the face. Im dying every day because I cant stand to think of a future without her. As young as i am im not an idiot and i know i absolutely love her but right now i feel more worthless, confused and stressed than i ever have before. Ik my problem is pretty minor compared to a lot of people but still its killing me and ive been depressed since before i even met her so this shit is just adding to the pile

She found someone else
>>
Ask yourself why she had to break up with you formally in order to get her 'space'. Hey didn't she simply wish to have time apart (while still maintaining a Relationship?) Why is it that in order to 'think shit through' that she has to be single?
I'll tell you why, it's because she wants to mitigate guilt. She is in the process of seeing to another guy, and in order to see that through without any guilt, she needs to break up with you real quick so she can avoid moral responsibility.
She is fucking someone else. She is most likely giving you the faint hope that she will end up back together with you because, A) It stops your dumbass from an hero'ing, B) By agreeing to her terms of allowing her to wander off, she now has your 'permission' to go fuck someone else, that helps with her would-be guilt and C) You are now her plan B, someone to go back to if this new guy doesn't work.
You are being played, and you should not have agreed to her terms. Either she thinks shit through with you as her companion, or not at all.

My mind has been plagued with self doubt.
Every time I get an idea or dream about my future, and I get excited about it, I am just smacked with self doubt. Its so defeating and I'm sick of it. It doesn't even feel like its me doubting myself anymore, it's like a nagging demon who won't live me alone. I know I'm capable but I don't feel it.
Why is this happening? How can I get over it?

You can either talk to a counselor or psychologist (depending on whether you think your problem is pathological or not) or just try to power through with enough activity you don't have time to think about your doubts.
>>
Its not you dude. Doubt and fear are natures way of trying to protect us and they have been in lifeforms for like 300million years or more. We humans have Consciousness and the idea of a Self or Higher Self. I reccomend seperating yourself from fear snd doubt to the point that you call these manifestations someone else whose trying to control you. Christians call it Satan, but you can call it Sauron, frenchy, dad, your highschool bully- whatever works best. There is, of course, readonable fear and readonable dpubt, but that is for ypu to determine. Overwhelmingly, it seems, the forces of the world reward courage; but defeating these two lions is no easy task.
>>
I had this same problem and thought it wa
s a demon to to the point where i even had noghtmares involving demons chasing me and taunting and mocking me while i ran away. One time, after a particularly good LSD trip i should add, i felt this fear of failure and stood up and spoke loudly that i am not afraid and to leave me alone because i am a powerful being of pure light who will burn any shadow that dare touch me. It sounds silly, but i have had an easier time dealing w fear ever since and i dont get afraid or doubtful nearly as often
