Hey /adv/,
Graduate student here. After years of hard work and strife I've finally finished all the exams and requirements for my M.Sc. degree... nearly.
I had one last exam in a tiny simple subject last week, but I just couldn't study. After so many years I just felt like I couldn't do it anymore. Didn't even show up for the exam.
They were kind enough to allow me another shot at it, which is in two days. I couldn't study again and am actually getting really nervous. I have to get myself to sit down and study for the next 36 hours or so until the exam.
How can I get my motivation back? It feels like I just ran out of fuel just before the finish line.
tl;dr how to get motivation for studying for just a little more?

1. See image.
2. Practice after work.
Need some real help here, /adv/
So I'm 26 and live away from home. I was back this weekend and had to find something on my family laptop. Couldn't find it. Found an external hard drive and plugged it in to see if I could find it. Long story short, found pictures of my dad having sex with a number of different prostitutes. All from Sept / Oct last year.
Going back home tomorrow so no time to do anything now. Obviously this is beyond shit and my Dad is everything I would hate to grow up to become.
I have a few options but idk which to do -
1 - say nothing. Keep it to myself and just live with the pain and guilt of what I've seen and what I know.
2 - tell my Dad what I've seen and see how he reacts. I don't have 'that kind' of relationship with my Dad. He's always been very supportive and I love him but he's never been someone I'd approach with life issues. Also, I have no idea how he'd react.
2 - tell my sister. My sister works 12 hours a day. She loves her job but is stressed. I worry this would add to her stress, destroy her relationship with my Dad and make her go home less - to the detriment of my mum
4 - tell my mum. Not really an option. My mum is bipolar and does A LOT for my dad and for the family and has done for years. I think this would break her.
TL;DR dad fucked prostitures, don't know who to tell or what to do but need to do something as this will eat me up inside.
It's horrible. As soon as I saw I thought 'nothing will be the same after this'. Sigh.

I dont know why you are so upset. Is he hurting you or anyone else in your family physically. People have shit to worry about move on with your life and just forget about it. Don't make it a bigger deal than it is forget it you will solve nothing by telling anyone you will do nothing but destroy lives
>>
forget about it. Dont make it a bigger deal than it is. Move on with your life no one is getting hurt. it will solve nothing if you tell anyone. You will do nothing except destroy lives. Forget about and pretend nothing happened

So I'm coming out on the opposite side of almost 2 years of depression and drinking problems.
After heavily limiting my alcohol intake, I've found that a lot of the people I used to hang out with and just get totally fucked up with have since stopped hanging around me.
It's a little sad, but I've set a principle for myself so I figure I have no choice but to move on.
I guess my problem is that now I don't really know how to make friends my age (24) that don't just get hammered all the time.
I have hobbies like RPGs and exercise, biking and what not, but I have to be honest and admit that a lot of the reason I drank was to overcome social anxiety.
I guess I just don't know where to start, and I don't know how to meet people to participate in these hobbies with me.
Any recommendations /adv/? I know it will take some time but I'm willing to be patient.

First of all good for you for turning it around. I did the same around a year ago and I'm in the same boat as you.
It's so obvious that it sounds stupid, but if you can get involved in a social activity that involves your interests, you'll meet people there.
I play guitar and have friends in bands, so sometimes I go and jam with them and meet new people. If you belong to a gym you might have a chance there too. You could take a class or something, idk.
Good luck.
>>
>>17438567
Thanks brah, good luck to you as well.
I guess I need to expand my horizons or something.
My problem is that as soon as I start getting close to someone, it comes down to "let's get drinks", which is a big problem.
Even the social bike ride in my city ends with everyone hanging out and getting drunk at the the end. It's a conundrum to say the least.
>>
>>17438579
Yeah I get that, but if it's a one on one thing you can usually just tell them you don't drink and if they're not a dick they'll understand and be cool with it.
Also if you're interested in the bike ride I wouldn't discount the entire thing just cause it ends with people meeting for drinks. You can still hang out at bars if you have the self control to just drink water or whatever. And maybe be prepared to take a little shit.

neither. if shes 'really far' as in you would never be able to see her more than once a week, then she snot worth dating.
the other girl is not worth dating at all
>>
>virgin
If that actually matters to you, it's because you're an insecure bitter virgin yourself. It sounds like you actually wouldn't have a chance with either of those girls.

both duh

If you talk about majority who is edgy and underage, are we talking about /b/?
If you talk about the majority of fat neckbeards, are we talking about /v/?
Not sure how you perceive things but 4chan is supposed to be filled with adults while there are boards for several interests, not sure how you could generalize it like that and make me fall for the bait.

IDK I could be just paranoid but these things happened within a day or two. I assumed she freaked at the idea of me having another job and not being able to come in for extra last minute days...and did some negative shit. of course I could be just making this shit up.

Other co-worker is more of a partner I should add. They frequently talk logistics and other big decision stuff together.

Maybe I'm an incompetent fuck up self centered millennial piece of shit.
Or maybe the US job market is absolute fucking shit. I've lived in different towns and cities and places for the past 3 years. I keep getting denied jobs or fired. I notice double standards in the work place. (Not all minorities and women related) It's always who you know that gets you a job or being connected with some group that gets you a job and keeps you in that job. I swear this is an especially bad time to be middle or lower class.
But, yeah maybe shit isn't going your way and you're paranoid and deluding yourself like I might be for myself.
Who knows?

I have always used Nizoral to calm my dandruff But I Have never found a solution to treating my scalp problem. Nizoral is not helping at all anymore. I have not gone to a doctor of some sort because I don't have insurance, so I want to see if any of you have had some success stories treating dandruff (which is embarrassing)

>Nizoral, also known as ketoconazol to the rest of the world
Hmmm, that's weird that it ain't helping you no more. It's quite a powerful fungus killer. It worked in the past, though???
I have seborrheic eczema on my scalp and ketoconazol is a miracle cure for me.
Things I tried, which had no effect on me, but might work for you:
-chestnut shampoo
-wheat shampoo
-swimming in the sea for a week or two (or use something that contains sea salt, though I doubt that's just as good)

ProTip: use same shampoo don't change them every week or so.
For me it worked

I have used Head and Shoulders with 1% selenium in the past.
tl;dr There's a girl I'm following on Tumblr and I wanna get closer to her, but I can't get her to notice me.
She's slightly younger then me. I know for sure she's single and that she's looking for someone, but for some reason I have the feeling I'm completely unnoticed by her. Perhaps she isn't interested, but she doesn't know how I look so she can't find me unnattractive.
She's not following my tumblr, although I do post sorta the same stuff as her. Sometimes I even tag her in a post I know she will like. I asked her for a commission once (because she does those). She was very excited to make one, but I never heard about it afterwards. I also asked her a couple of times to play some Overwatch together when she was online, but she didn't accept the invitation.
Does anyone know some more stuff I can try or should I just give up?

Attractiveness is more than just looks, your attitude is unattractive too.

Short story: I promised to give my now ex girlfriend space as we had to break things yesterday but some crucial points were left unsaid. This wasn't a mutual break up and there is potentially room for the relationship to get back on track in the future in her words. I want to respect her and give her space but now with a clear mind, I want to leave her off with some important points I failed to make when my mind was racing. What the fuck should I do.
Long story: I fucked up and started a relationship with this girl while I was still in a relationship with someone else that I had cheated on twice and lied about being in a relationship in the beginning, 6 months ago. The previous relationship was broken from the get go but I kept giving it a chance for years and it took that long to realize love isn't the glue that holds a relationship together. I was weak and didn't break it off and this girl didn't deserve that at all and I should have broken it off in the beginning. It's until I met this new girl who has shown me so much more than any of my past relationships in such a short period of time that I didn't want to fuck it up but I did in the worst possible way. When I broke it off with my ex she found out about her and told her what a shitty person I was and effectively ended up skewing her view of me as a person. Although that had happened, we ended up giving it a chance weeks after and I spent the most amazing summer of my life with her. In the short time we've had I've learned what real love is and what it really takes to be in a sustainable relationship. I can/could actually call this girl my best friend outside of what we had in our relationship. I can honestly see myself spending a lifetime with her but I just want to be able to rebuild that trust and fill the void I left on her. She ended up breaking it off with me because she told me she was becoming a person who she didn't want to be. She has some paranoia that I'll be the same person to her as I was before

How is anyone supposed to read this and tell which girl/which relationship you are referring to at any one time? Please explain yourself better.
>>
in my past relationship. I know trust is built over time and that there is a possibility that she will never see me the same way that she did in the very beginning. I do know we are actually compatible and that it isn't just superficial values that we hold for each other. This is the first time in over 10 years of dating and seeing girls where I can say that I actually hold deep love for someone. I know it's possible that I've lost but I'm still holding on and I don't want to give up. She did say the future might be different and we may have that opportunity to be together if it is to be. I respect this girl like nothing else and she did leave off wanting indefinite space to allow us to focus on ourselves and maybe reconnect on a different note in the future. It scares the hell out of me because I don't want her to build resentment towards me and I want to tell her who I am, what our relationship has meant and how and why I'll uphold my values to her even if we are apart. I understand everyone is different and her reaction will be different than someone else's but i'm just looking for something

>>17438094
my bad, this was all basically a stream of consciousness. but when i refer to previous i mean it as the one that isn't the most current. in that short story "my now ex girlfriend' is the most current

He seems to cry for everything and always says something when you talk to him about his wrong doings like "its always me,youre oppressing me etc." and even says that he wants to fight me.Few minutes ago I said to him that its time for him to get out of my room since its 9pm(he is 11 years old) and I need to use the electronic mosquito repellents anyway but he started crying because he wanted to finish his painting on some online site even though he himself said its not even halfway through and on top of that he can save it and finish it later.Then after after crying and yelling for a few minutes he got out of the room and my grandpa asked me why I'm harassing him even though all I said is for him to get out of my room.This happens quite often and I'm really worried for him and don't know what to do but my parents enable it after all when they clearly see what happens.

Younger children tend to be spoiled, because they're forever babies in their parents' eyes. Just keep your head and make sure at least someone in his life tells him no every once in awhile. If he cries, he cries. No kid has ever died from crying.

So I joined university. Picked agroecology degree, but I have a huge problem. I don't know anything about math, while I'll be forced to study higher math in every degree that there is. I'm counting using my fingers like a grade schooler can't even imagine myself on math class. Maybe they will tolerate me to get money? I physically wouldn't be able to learn everything in less than a mount. Maybe I should flee to another country(living in a third world shithole)? Never worked a day in my life. 18 y old kissless hugless virgin with shity social skills. I feel like they gonna just kick me out after first semester. What should I do?

You can learn math everybody can if you suck at it you just have to put more time into it. There is a lot of sites that teach the basic stuff. I would recommend Khan Academy for example.
If you were to give it an hour a day you would know everything you need to know in a few months.
Also learn how to learn effectively.

Went and talked to a leasing agent yesterday and the apartments she works for are a little out of my price range. I can't get over her eyes, would it be out of line to show up there sometime later this week and ask her out? Not planning on leasing there so I don't think it would be construed as unprofessional on her end
