>ODD

this doesnt sound real at all. its literally just 'im a rebellious fuck'. the treatment for which is basic therapy. as in, just talking someone through their problems.

i.e. you didn fail highschool due to ODD, you failed highschool due to you being a dumb fuck. whine against this statement if you want, but all you are doing is getting farther and farther away from actually fixing yourself by blaming it on something out of your control. your level of defiance is in your control.

so, what do you do now? have you tried going back to school? no? why not?

assuming you have a valid reason for not going back, have you tried getting your GED? no? why not?

from there, apply for military, but be careful, its very strict and requires you to follow some basic rules, which might be hard with ODD since you obviously cant control yourself.

then from there, apply to colleges.

>>16615132
ODD? You mean ADD?

Either way, if you're as young as your post implies, it's easy to get back on track (hopefully you're American).

>Go to community college
>Become a good student
>Get the highest gpa you possibly can
>Apply to a state college of your choosing
>Use the studying skills you learned at cc to pass college with honors

That's the general plan, unless your heart is set on joining the Army. I have zero advice for you there.

>>16615132
The army is no place for fuckers with ADD, as attention to detail is key.

>>16615109
They become waiters or failed comedians.

>full-time

they die. that or they live off family money. theres no such thing as full time aspiring. you need money. at best you are part time.

i live in LA, trying to make it as a writer. i got lucky and found a job managing an office for a psychic.

i have a lot of actor friends and they make some okay money, but they are all older than me and every single one of them works at a restaurant or a coffee shop.

No, there is not.

>>16615086
Do whichever you enjoy more. You'll be able to find work in either if you hustle, develop skills outside class, and have a good attitude.

>>16615086
The only other degrees worth a shit at the private Uni are Math, and maybe biology and geology.. nothing like the public Uni I'm considering. But part of me is ok with that in exchange for the uber-comfy lifestyle of college while living with parents.

>>16615108
One of the things that rustles me is that I don't foresee myself enjoying a job that school will yield - currently I'm a carpenter and I like my job. But it makes my mom happy to think she has a STEM student good goy for a son.

I almost wanna go pure maths just to say fuck you to employability dominating education nowadays. That and I like math.

>>16615085
My brother is a bio-engineer but he got that as his masters, his original degree is in biology.

He works at some huge Biotech company now. I don't know how competitive it is, but some people do make it out of school with a job

>>16615085
>Is biomedical engineering a worthy and fulfilling career /adv/?

There will be need for them, but it is very specialized major that more often that not is a feeder major for grad school.

>Will I be able to find a job?

Are you willing to compete for 4 years against doctor wannabes who can understand bio, engineering, and complex math?

I have enough experience with science to know it's a scam.

>>16615069

if it actually worked it'd be screamed from the rooftops. theyd be out of product so fast cuz we'd be buying it by the gallon.

theres truth to the idea that certain scenes and pheremones and such can actually attract women (When i was younger the rumor was mixing a tiny bit of your own piss in your aftershave will do the job)

but the point remains that humans, yes even women, are too evolved for something as simple as pheremones to do you any good. if you cant actually want to attract women you need the things that attract them. science will only give you a little extra point.

Humans can not actually detect "pheromones".

>Hey how does your feel?
>Do you understand me?
Nope.

>>16615036

this is normal. 22 is about the age you leave college, so im guessing this is what you mean.

if you ever watch buffy the vampire slayer, they had an excellent metaphor for this.

in season 5 she died.

in season 6, she came back to life. she was miserable being alive, because (while dead) she was in heaven, and how that she is alive again reality is nothing but suffering, so she becomes depressed.

the metaphor here is that college (Which she stopped attending after season 5) is in fact heaven. its the best time of your life. its all fun and games, and sure there is work, but its really cushy compared to going out and figuring life on your own.

aftercollege everyone sorta 'loses' themselves. its no longer about the parties and hanging out and friends. everyone gets thrown into the world and has to figure out what they are doing with their lives.

everyone gets passed it. you will to.

i find the best way to get through it is just have a solid plan. figure out your job, where you wanna live, and quickly get settled and then do your best to find (or e ven create) a group of friends.

Gimme a fucking break.

>what are some reliable ways to do this

there arent any. there are literally no reliable ways to make money on the internet. everything is inconsistent, and mosdt of the bubbles have already burst. you can still make money those ways but its more difficult by the minute and it takes a lot of ground work to get there.

also
>only way its possible is through the best means
>which would be the internet

this isn't true, at fucking all. the best way to make money is to just keep applying for a job til you get one.

>I've always had dry skin and known I should moisturize more

Fucking do it. Do it now. CeraVe moisturizing cream (in the tub). Non-comedogenic, not too greasy, one of the best options that works for most people.

The lines you have aren't wrinkles, it's dry skin.

>but do have naturally dry skin.

You are gonna age quickly, it's just how it is.

Some people are born with oily skin and age extremely slowly, but have to deal with zits and acne.

Other than moisturizing (which could block up your pores and make you break out) you can't really do much.

Just don't let it bother you and just live with it, letting stuff like that get in your head will just stress you out and make your quality of life less good.

>>16615337
But I don't want to look ugly as shit.

>>16615301
Thanks will do. I read somewhere that shit with collagen in it helps a lot.

Condoms are somewhat of a personal preference.
Most condoms are extremely durable with average use.

You might want to go with the thinner ones for your pleasure.

Make sure you use lube because condoms can dry out quickly.

>>16614952
I don't even pick condoms by style anymore, just buy whatever is cheapest. Since it's your first time with her I'd take her to pick them out. That shit would be hilarious.

As long as it doesn't come out of the vending machine of a rest stop bathroom, you're good.

Make sure you don't store them in your wallet, or expose them to high heat/tear them/some stupid shit to damage them. And make sure you learn how to put them on correctly. Common sense applies here.

I think it's the doctor that checks you first. The one that sends you to see the specialist if needed.

>>16614962
General Practitioner, a doctor

>>16614908
Everything and nothing at the same time. It is all subjective reasoning and as such fluid to the perceiver through a constantly changing environment.

Yourself.
That's really it man

Whatever you feel is right for you.

The hard aspect to finding a job is that there's no single "microbiologist job." The skill set fits into a variety of fields and careers. You could go into industrial research, med/pharma corporations, food and beverage industries, public health, hospital labs, etc. You have to be tenacious in finding any and every little nook and cranny in which you could fit. I know a microbio major who ended up finding a job at a cosmetics company of all places, but it turned out to be a wonderful score.

Take the major, try to get into an accelerated program (5 year MSc, for example) and network as much as possible. Get in close with people in your department and join any societies and organizations which you can.

your weak jawline is related to genetics, nothing naturally can fix that.

Save up and get surgery. Nothing you can do about it except for surgery. Or you can just accept the way you look.

>>16614854
They posted an image of 2 twins. The 2 was taught how to stop breath through their mouth and to start breathing through their nose.

Only one of them actually practiced it. After a few years they looked very different.

Of course, that change is only going to happen when people are still developiing

My advice is to skip the tough love. Try it just this once and you'll see how it's a much better approach to life than lecturing people.

>>16614818
I don't want to lecture him but he doesn't see that he's being his own worst enemy. He wants people to be there for him but he pushes anyone that is willing to be there (like me) away.

>>16615081
I see why now. If you care that much you would do more than bitch.
