I read that as pledging a fart.

I pledged a fraternity last semester and now I'm an active. Let me tell you this: get any preconceived notions of fraternity life out of your head. I talked about memes and harambe with my brothers all the time as a pledge. Just go into it with an open attitude and don't be a little bitch.

Fraternities are social settings, so yeah sometimes there are dicks. I don't like every brother in my fraternity, and that's ok. Just put with them till you initiate then cock block them whenever you can at parties to get em back

As for pledging: DON'T BE A LITTLE BITCH. A little bit of hazing builds bonds between your pledge class. They will some of your closest friends you will ever have. If shit gets out of hand (physical danger and stuff) sure talk to someone but my fraternity had very minimal hazing. They fucked with us psychologically over the course of 8 weeks, but in today's age, a hazing complaint can get Frats kicked off so they have to find some way to seperate the pledges from actives.

Above all, don't be entitled. You are a pledge, which inherently means you are under the actives. Show them the respect they deserve, cuz they went thru the same shit you'll go thru.

Being in a fraternity has been the single most fulfilling thing I've ever done with my life, and I don't regret it for a second, but I won't lie I had some doubts when I was a pledge. The answer to the question your gonna ask yourself is this: yes. It's worth it. It's very worth it.

Also, practice beer pong. You will look like a God if you can post shot after shot at parties. Bitches love that shit. And get good at chugging beer because that's gonna be one of your primary activities with these guys. If you can get good at Shotgunning beer then brothers will respect you.

Bump. I know this is really vague and complex but I just need some support right now.

>I've failed my last two semesters because I can't bring myself to work without any direction.

Hoo, boy, do I know that feel. I'd say get a hobby with a clear end goal that you work towards whenever you can. For example, if your hobby is carpentry, come up with the plans to build a treehouse and spend some time working on it little by little. The key here is to have a goal every day or week or however often you feel its necessary to work on it. (Today I'm going to build this section of the guardrails! Today I'm going to build the door! etc.)

Honest, hard work creating or doing something is extremely fulfilling, it works wonders on depression.

It's bantz dude she's probably trying to fuck

is this a meme thread now?

she's into you. The drinking was the first indication but the snapchat fuckin closed the deal

>>18004838
Nobody is naturally talented or skilled, they work at it.

You need to work harder and/or smarter

Find whatever is stopping you from suceeding. For me, it was mmos/mobas.

The sad truth is a bachelor's is equivalent to a hs diploma nowadays. Put 100 percent into school. Even if you can barely manage Cs going full blast, you will still get that degree. DO NOT DROP OUT NO MATTER WHAT. NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR DEGREE

>>18004838
Don't drop out but maybe withdraw and take the semester off to avoid nuking your GPA. That way you have the option of going back when you get sick of whatever retail job you land, and you can study with a renewed sense of purpose.

Unless you're in high school in which case just try to fight through that shit, only retards and pregnant teens drop out of high school.

For the sake of your parents, hide it.

you don't display it in a place where they would see it

I have a "culture flag" as my brother calls it hanging in my room. My father just looked at it, said "ok" and left now when he comes in he just stares at it sometimes. They won't question it nor care it's your money waste that shit on what you want

He's right

>Dated guy for 4 years

You're a rebound. If you care about your friend, you shouldn't do this.

>>18004893
im not looking for a relationship, i just want to fuck her. But feel bad for friend.

>>18004798
The test is stupid anyways. Everyone fills it out in the way they see themselves and not actually the way they are. If you want to know who you really are, have 10 people who know you very well take the test for you and average the results.

>>18004798
Don't read too much into MBTI, and yes you can get an indecisive result. The paragraph will chide you for being wishy-washy.

Myers Briggs is about as scientific as your astrological sign or even one of those "which Gilmore girl are you" personality quizzes. I find that the binary nature of some of those questions is one of the biggest flaws.

Also I had sweatpants on when that happened. Do you guys think he felt me up a lot because of that?

>>18004787
He sounds like he's into frottage.

A guy I like was sitting very close to me the other day and I thought it was a good sign that he wasn't pulling away. But then his elbow accidentally brushed against my arm and he jerked it away like he had just touched something slimy. Should I kill myself?

sounds like he's testing the waters.

I am very skinny, but I am strength training everyday, and eating more. I have no social life outside of school. I have no job. I am about to buy a car. My hobbies are self-teaching, contemplating about the world, and writing sometimes. I am very critical of people, lack self indulgence, have a fairly low self-esteem, and doubt everything I hear. I realize I portray myself as the usual 4chan nerd with slight austism, but I have not dug myself that deep, yet. Any insight would be graciously appreciated.

Everyone now either uses Netflix, Amazon and/or movie apps.

As a homeowner: get a car. You can always rent an apartment.

>>18004730
Sex and chilling with homies
Also, showering

Some teenager on their cellphone can total your car. Not as easy to get your house fucked.

That said, don't buy a house in a place you don't want to settle down in.

buy her a therapist

>>18004726
Tried that but it never really help her. I dont really know why

>>18004729
Therapists are not a magical solution. She has to open up to them and help herself, and this can take time, specially since it's sexual

She seems to have a bad image of herself more than she's worried about what you think of it, probably because it's related to substances.
