Can I get into Rutgers?
I want the new Brunswick campus. I have a 2.8 GPA and 24 ACT. Im taking the test again and expect a 25-27 (according to recent practice tests) my GPA had a steady upward curve which my GC says is really good
I have no extracurriculars so ik that's a problem
I've heard of people with similar stats getting accepted though so I'm wondering if I should apply
Also I'm an NJ resident
>>17230819
if it is not cost prohibitive to do so it doesn't seem like a bad idea to just apply to whatever schools you want. I know someone who took the shotgun approach and applied to like 14 grad schools. I did not have that kind of money.
>>17230823
If it's super unlikely I can use that application for something else
Trying to get into an elite college for undergrad is a massive waste of money and effort. Go to a state school, excell, then go to an elite grad school.
God damn /adv/ how do I convince this person to sell me this meme cat ?
Pic related, kot blini, I offered $20k to the owner but he doesn't want to fucking do it.
I really want to own this cat /adv
Also I started the offer with 10k and went up to 20. Also I'm talking about the physical , real cat, not shit like 'sell me this rare pepe'
If the cat is loved, it will never happen. People don't sell loved ones, even pets (extreme extenuating circumstances excluded.)
You are just going to have to give up and find a different cat.
Maybe you should reconsider the life choices that made you want to buy a cat for 20k. With that money you can buy a bunch of tigers.
ITT: life story thread, as much or as little detail as you want. Although this thread isn't directly an advice thread, I feel that it will help to facilitate advice formulation and assessment, and I feel that it fits nicely with the atmosphere of the board
I was born in Greenville, South Carolina in 1996. I spent the first 6 years of my life in a fairly classical suburban home with my two older siblings and a dog (though it died when I was around five or so. I wasn't bothered by her absence). I was an abnormally quiet baby, only really crying when I needed something. My memories of the place are about as poor as one would expect from life before 7 years old.
At seven, we moved to New Hampshire on supposedly spiritual grounds, and I do not remember whether these were an excuse, but off we went to Newberry, New Hampshire (might be Newbury; don't know.) It was another fairly idyllic suburban life (although not really as happy as the stereotype claims). As far as socialization and friendships go, I didn't really feel much of a connection with anyone despite doing a fair amount of classical "boy best friend" things, which foreshadows some detachment that would remain the status quo. The winter when we were there was apparently the shittiest they'd had in a decade. We also had another dog die, which I remember being slightly relieved about, since I didn't really like how the dog would play (read: teething puppy) with me, though I already knew to keep shut about that kind of thing. The church we attended was a straight-up cult, complete with all of the trimmings of intimidation, blackmail, and a following that whose lives revolved around the leader, which was later exemplified when said leader moved the congregation and most of the church followed him. This prodded my parents to get out, as the cult leader and my mom had a serious disagreement of some kind (or he was trying to have blackmail her for sex or something, I don't remember in much of any detail), but it was becoming clear (to the parents) that it wasn't safe for us there.
Not sure how close I'm getting to the length limit, so cont.
We then moved to Athens, Georgia, and (at my mother's insistence, though I didn't know that at the time) we again pursued the suburban ideal (though my dad wanted the rural ideal, which was very achievable where we were, and made a lot more sense imo). This time, though, things went a bit poorly; Dad had employment, but it wasn't getting him much (it was a commission job in a dried up market), and Mom had decided to go back to college, which put our financially insolvent family into more trouble (though she did at least utilize all of the scholarships she could). At this point, Mom's stress made her inaccessible to 7/8 year old me, as talking with her was like walking in a minefield of risking offending her, and this caused (or so I theorize) my siblings to become desperate for her attention (my sister started crying for no reason and getting sick/anorexic, and my brother had an abnormally far-out rebellion phase, which only made Mom's stress worse, as practically every weekend was another pregnancy scare.) and had become very competitive, which was terrible for the youngest, as I was subject of some bullying, would never be taken seriously, and was the least capable of standing up for myself. I began to seclude myself, and my view of interpersonal relationships was skewed to hell in back. When third grade came around I did much better socially; I had about five friends, and was on good terms with pretty much everybody, though I was held back by a conception that people would hate me if I lost contact with them for any period longer than a day (a mentality I still struggle with, to the extent that I even /friendship/ at all anymore). Fourth grade got a lot worse though as I grew to very deeply resent adults in general, feeling that they were a naive and complacent class of people with no real sympathy for children, and a general dismissiveness for them. Additionally, cont.
>>17228705
Additionally, my parents divorced and my dad moved away (for work, so that he could continue to support all of us (even mom)), and I started to feel trapped inside of childhood, spending my afternoons fantasizing about being left alone as an adult (an ideal that I've finally almost achieved), and at one point having a breakdown (the only one I have ever had, publically or privately. I have never again been as distraught) because I felt so trapped. When I went to the counselor, she was frustratingly dense, and would avoid confronting any real issues. I came out resenting adults even more. Throughout this time, I also noticed that I couldn't understand my peers at all, and to this day, children are still a weird, alien thing to me. I can relate to most teenagers or adults easily, but children are as opaque as a black hole to me. (On a minor note, I also lost almost all of my recess for that year of school because I couldn't bring myself to read a book and we had to read a book a week and weren't allowed to switch, so around the fourth week of school, I picked up an unbearably boring book and never put it back down. More sadly, however, I preferred being barred from the playground because I didn't feel like I had to maintain a reputation if nobody was seeing/thinking about me, which was a practice that would carry on for a long time.) Although not that important by itself, it indicates a lot that my mother would put me at the pool at opening (during the summer before fifth grade) and pick me up usually ten to fifteen minutes after closing, which gave me something like 60 hours of swimming per week, yet in all of that time, I hardly so much as conversed with another poolgoer.
The next few years are roughly the same, though one common theme is that everybody was incredibly fond of me for some reason; people in middle school would always ask me if I remembered them from elementary and talk about it as though we had been best friends or something. cont.
Evertime i get an erection my erection feels inflamed.
My testicals feels inflamed asweel.
Also when i uronat it feels inflammed
It started to happen two months ago. Before that my kidneys felt it was being stinged by bees all the way to the bladder.
Im not sexual like ive used to. Ive been starting to get less interest in women. (Hard to belive) i masterbate once every 2 months.
Is being less sexual a problem?
Im thinking to go hunt for antibiotics in a natural order.
Anyone had a experience?
Sounds like bladder infection or UTI. Go to fucking doctor where they will run tests to diagnose the problem. You can use natural alt medicine instead of whatever pharmaceutical poison they recommend
This is a serious infection/disease. Why haven't you seen a doctor yet what the fuck is wrong with you?
>>17232987
Possibly a uti by the sounds of it. Go to your doctor - they'll run tests. Then give you an antibiotic to clear it up in 3-7 days, depending. In the future, don't wait so long. Longer you wait, the worse it'll get.
My best friend is male (i.e opposite sex than me). I guess both of us living in different countries help prevent us from falling in love with each other. I can't help but feel sad about our relationship as everyone says that "guys and girls cannot be close friends". I fear losing touch with him, and I understand that we will grow apart when one of us becomes taken.
How to feel better about this? Is it pretty much destined that we will grow apart?
>inb4 yes, you guys probably like each other etc
>>17232943
Usually this goes down 2 ways:
1) Find common ground and talk to him often. When the chance to meet comes, you two will meet up and figure your shit out then.
2) Stop talking to him and maybe bump into each other another time. Or you never see each other again and you realize that there are 7 billion people out there to talk to.
We aren't here to make that decision for you; you have to decide if you're willing to put the effort forward to make this friendship thrive. If overtime you don't feel it's worth it, then stop.
>>17232953
>make this friendship thrive
But people say such friendships are not possible if one is a guy and one is a girl
I told him I do not want to lose touch with him, and he said, well, we can always chitchat every now and then
Guys and girls can be friends, the issue is just when neither of you have other options. That's the biggest farce behind this shit - one of you is on the desperate side of the power struggle.
I have plenty of great female friends, because I can date their friends or have my own life going on where I don't rely on that one connection for all of my emotional and physical support.
Anyways, I digress...
It sounds like you're overthinking this, and you're probably young. One of my best friends of 23 years and I are still close friends and she's banging some 50 year old dude. I hang out with them all the time.
Stop letting preconceived notions govern how you structure your friendships.
I started talking to a random girl, she sent me a pic of her, i though she was preatty, but i think she is not real, help me guys to know who is the real girl in the photo? Btw she told me that is leaving in Cancun
>>17232699
Tell her to put her pinky on her forehead and take a picture. If she refuses, there you go.
Or anything peculiar. I sometimes ask index, middle, pinky up, and Ring/thumb fingers folded.

time stamp on tits you nigger
what's the best way to accomplish this?

Long story short. For several reasons I got forced to move from my city which is way too far from where I currently am to reasonably go back often. And given I know no one here, I'm basically lonely as fuck.
The closest "friends" I've got are 2 hours away, so meeting them often is impossible. And even when they're fine people, they're not close, like the ones I got in my old city.
I've tried getting into card games to have an excuse to go to the store, and it has had just a moderate success. I got to meet some people there, but this doesn't go any deeper than mere acquaintances.
So... What do I do?
Bump? Anyone?
>>17232654
If the problem is a small / non-existent social circle, then the first step to come to mind would be working to expand that, wouldn't it?
Done anything to work towards that apart from the card game / trips to store?
>>17232932
I've tried going to conventions and stuff where people meet, this weekend one will be held for roleplaying games, although the last time I went to one, two months ago, I ended up feeling damn alone because I knew no one.
I can't get a job either until I'm done with some obligations, and this will be my situation for some few more months, probably 5 or so until I'm done. So I'm basically stuck here.
So recently my life has been kind of shitty. I rarely had a support group that really motivated me and helped me out emotionally, but it never really hit me until these last two months. I feel worthless and without meaning. I have friends, but I don't really feel connected to any of them and it's probably because of me. I tend to overthink how people think of me in a negative way which makes me seem like I'm disinterested in people. Even with my closest of friends, I feel like they only see me as someone they sort of like to hang out with.
My parents really were never there for me and usually just bitched me out if I didn't get all As or if I'm not working. Then all of the sudden they split up and now are trying to act buddy buddy with me and I honestly want them to fuck off.
In terms of love life, I haven't dated anyone in almost two years. I got dumped by my gf and I just honestly can't see myself dating anyone again. Mostly because I know I'm not happy, and I don't want to be in a relationship when I can't love myself. I feel like I would just come off as too needy.
Idk famolamborginis. I've been having a lot more intrusive thoughts on suicide and how nobody would give a fuck if I just disappeared. But I know this is toxic thinking. It's just last night I couldn't go to bed because of these shitty thoughts. I do have a therapist, but I feel like it's not really helping me in the long term, I just really really struggle with opening up to people. I just can't do it, I'm too afraid to be vulnerable.
Wtf do I do?
>>17232647
>I do have a therapist, but I feel like it's not really helping me in the long term
I'm going to suggest you to get a new therapist. What you have requires a lot of work and help, and if a therapist doesn't help you, get a new one. Unlike other branches of medicine, psychology requires the patient and the doctor to have a level of connection.
>>17232690
What do you think of psychiatry? I don't want to be dependent on a pill to make me happy, but if it's a chemical problem, I guess I might as well try it.
>>17232754
If it's a chemical imbalance, you should definitely go for it. But remember you need to have your doctor tell you you need it.
at the age of 19, would exercising more help influence penile and facial hair growth through testosterone boost?
my donger's average, but i know i'm not gonna get with anyone (and i'm fine with it), so the size would pretty much purely be for personal gain.
the other's because my facial hair is pathetic as fuck and doesn't deserve to not get shaved. i refer to my facial hair as the "overly proud 14 year old"
>>17232576
Same boat bro, literally dick and beard woes.
I'm scared because my dad has pretty weak facial hair. My moms side all have crazy facial hair though so if God is good it'll come in the next couple years
>>17232576
why do you want facial hair
>>17232611
It's more of I'm currently stuck in limbo between no facial hair and full facial hair, it looks fucking awful
Let's say, Nebraska (most consider undesirable) vs California (one of the top desirable places to live)
Can living in a state actually make a person happier or depressed/more depressed?
eh different stuff can be depressing so I would say yes it can depend upon the state your living in.
>>17232519
I live in California I FUCKING hate this state and the fucking libs and minorities in it. San Fran is a shitty meme city and I won't even go on about LA. Also the LAWS ARE FUCKING HORSESHIT.
Can't wait to get out of this state
Not sure about Ca, but Florida is one of the best places to live. It only has two downsides:
1. Extreme heat during the summer for about 4.5 months, which is better than extreme cold other states have for 6.5 months, like the state that you mentioned, Nebraska... Fuck that.
2. Tougher to get a job, depending on which area of Florida you are in, so choose wisely. Don't just move to a random city or suburb without doing some trusty research.
If you're miserable in Florida, you're just a miserable person and that ain't gonna change by moving to California or Texas. Source: Been living in northern Florida for several years.
Me and a girl were having skype sex and now she is trying to blackmail me so can you destroy her 4cgan
>>17232484
What's she asking for, money?
Just do it first.
Not your personal army.
Just found out I'm in love with my stepsister of five years.
And I've got the hot farts.
Wtf do I do?
>>17232473
the hot farts?
>>17232473
Vaseline, icy hot, or calmoseptine lotion will fix hot farts.
Just keep the thoughts to yourself. Your Stepsister most likely will be creeped out and it would damage your relationship as step siblings completely. I speak from experience as I thought my step bro was hot as hell.
Serious life question.
So I've been looking at getting a degree in Commercial Space Operations and transferring from my school to Embry Riddle for it.
Is this something worth getting? I know that commercial space is booming and I do have a great interest in it.
Would this be a good way to get into commercial space exploration?
>>17232445
Check out the Air Force's space operations job. Pretty much guaranteed to get a job in the private sector or a cushy government job because of the work experience and Top Secret clearance.
>>17232445
I live near JSC and while I don't work for a JSC or related contract (or sub-contract) I know many people who do. You could easily get in around here with a degree like that - Jacobs, SpaceX, Boeing, USA, Lockheed to name some big ones and then many, many small businesses. Double that up with Aero/Mech engineering and you have it made.
>>17232458
>>17232485
I don't know about the military route, I have an apointment with a shrink soon about depression stuff. I think I'm depressed but it might be a result of me staying at the current school I'm in.
Also, I cannot transfer until this winter and I will be a junior. I'm majoring in philosophy (focus on logic) and I'm going to start a math and public administration double major this upcoming year.
If I transfer, I probably will have to spend an extra year or two in school to pick up mech engineering.
What type of girls can actually take a huge dick?
My dick is too fucking girthy and big. My ex complained about it all the time and I thought she just said that shit to make me feel better
But then I started hooking up with girls after her and they all said my dick was too fucking big. I've made many many girls bleed. Some of them liked it in a masochistic type of way, some weren't too happy.
Whaf types of girls are genetically equipped to handle a big penis? I tried black girls but their vaginas are just as small as everyone else's. I heard that tall women (like over 5'7) have large vaginas.
Pls help. Pls respond
>>17232319
Breh let's compromise, we'll split our lengths and girths. Tired of my noodle dick
Post a pic so we can see what they're having to deal with. Upload it to imgur or tinypic and link it here so you won't get banned.

Look man, I'm not asking you to post your face, just post a pic of your dick. We need to know if it's a brautwurst or a Monster drink.
