Is anyone here in a systems biology phd program or was previously in one? If so, where did you go, how did you like it, and any advice on how to get in?

Want to get a job thats no experience but higher than min wage. Nearly everything even basic stuff requires experience. Like even janitor for 15 an hour requires 1 year of janitoral experience. Like how can I get out of the min wage hole without experience because the only experience I have is retail and I want to get out of that hole.

I matched with a girl on tinder. We texted each other on there a lot. She later asked for my Snapchat, which seemed she was interested in me. We snap chatted each other each day about everything and we would send cute texts to each other and stuff like that for a little bit more than 2 weeks. I finally ask her when we could meet up to go on our first date. So we planned it and we met up at an attraction where there's a lot of stores everywhere and things to do. We mostly walked around and talked and went into stores. I started to get hungry and we went to a pizza place to eat. While I was eating we were talking about our jobs and places we've been and school and stuff like that. I felt like I was talking about myself a lot more than letting her do the talking. I also started talking about the crazy stupid stuff I've down with my friends. She was smiling and laughing but I'm not sure if she was interested in what I was talking about. I also felt a bit nervous which might have played a role in it too.after I ate we left the place and we went to a coupe of stores and we started chit chatting a bit more and than towards the end we went to her car and I hugged her saying I had a good time. (Bit awkward but it seemed alright). The next day I haven gotten a message from her on Snapchat. Only maybe one bit it wasn't about the date. And I waited a few more days too see and the same thing happened. So is end her a Snapchat with it saying "hey". But she just left me on open. Need help on what to do. To get her back and redo it all.

/r9k/, it is possible to make a girl fall in love with you again?

I had a incredible beautiful relashionship that ended in March. My girl was a dream, a bit too clingy, but she wanted too much to marry with me. She really really liked me.

But the fire ended, extinguished. She started to say that I am boring as fuck and vomit in my face all my bad habits with time (which is, not coincidentally, robot/cyborg habits and thoughts).

Now, she hate me completely. See me and doesn't even say Hi.

If I appear improved, with all these mistakes corrected, one day in the future, and repeating the attitudes that made her fall in love with me at first, love can rise again, or am I a lost cause?

Having trouble interacting with people in a very general sense (no friends, no partner, etc.). I guess it's not so much that I am having trouble with shallow interactions and superficial friendships (these come easily), but my issue comes after being cheated on four times (two of which were long term relationships) and being raped two years ago.

Every day sort of goes by with me not feeling anything. Everything is routine simply because it feels like I SHOULD be doing something with myself, not because I actually have an interest in doing these things. The thing that sucks is that I legitimately want to feel happiness but knowing how people are with friends betrayed me (hence why I have no friends -- I cut ties) and such strong negative connotations towards sex that the idea of being in a relationship is pretty scary.

I sort of overcame feelings of suicide but there's still a lot of residual anger when I think about things followed by just really deep depression. It feels like the cost of me having not killed myself has left me as an automation as opposed to being a living person, and it sucks. I'd like to genuinely be happy as opposed to just convincing people of this facade I've been playing for a while.

>watch porn
Don't really care about women. Don't go after them and they generally don't care about me. Pretty happy with just work and vidya.

>stop watching porn
Start feeling the need for gf, catch myself looking at fat/ugly women. Much more likely to make a move and get a gf, potentially making me happier.

What is the right thing to do here, /adv/? Anyone had experience with this?

Hey /adv/,
anyone here who has experiences with both Adderall and Meth/Cocaine?

I have extreme problem with focusing on things, I tried every advice in the book for the last five years, and I just can't help it. I was even diagnosed with ADHD, but they don't give Ritalin to adults in my country (and we don't have Adderall at all). When I was in the US, I got a pill of Adderall once, and it worked like magic.

So, basically, it's easier, cheaper, and safer for me to get meth/cocaine than Adderall. So I thought I would buy empty pill capsules, and fill them with meth/cocaine/whatever else.

Will it work as well as Adderall? Any big differences? Any tips (what drug to use etc.)?

Thanks.

Hi /adv/


So I just turned 26 years old. When I was a teenager, I dropped out of highschool and immediately got my GED. I spent the time from then til now traveling around the country working odd jobs and meeting new people. Now I'm well into Adulthood and starting to think more seriously about college. During my teens I fantasized about going to college for acting, but after scoring a few roles without any formal training, I don't know if it's worth it to spend several thousand dollars on the classes despite it being what I love and my talent at it. Essentially, I'm looking for a degree that will pay enough to support my artistic pursuits. I guess what I'm asking is...what should I study? Are associate degrees viable enough to make a decent wage or are bachelor's degrees necessary? Are there any hurdles of going to school past the typical age?


>tl;dr I'm 26 and seriously thinking about college. I love theatre but it's not financially viable so what should I study?

my bf loves giving me hickeys, but i hate them. i find them gross, childish and unnecessary. sometimes he would just randomly give me one when i'm not expecting it (i get them very fast). i told him to not do that but i guess he finds it funny that he can upset me with it.
how do i get him to stop?
