goddamn it, every month I know this thread is coming and it still gets me every time

new semester of college, this time I'm hoping to fix the perfectionism that's crippled my productivity. Also only taking 10 credit hours

My comeback's been in motion since when you or a different timeposter posted something similar back in May.

Come on you pussy, some of us have to have 17 credits every semester for our entire college career. After you sort yourself out and get your work ethic right, ditch the brainlets and join me up here

Well I dropped out of uni so that's somewhat of a comeback in that I'm giving my life back to myself.

It was either stay and get kicked out due to low GPA or drop.

I've been improving myself for a long time now and none of it's made even the slightest of a difference.

I got my bike fixed a few weeks ago and have been riding it a bit but today I finally went to the major trail near my house and did 35 MILES round trip. As a fat dude I feel this is an accomplishment. I really enjoyed it too. The last quarter was kind of painful so I think I need a new bike seat. My ass is sore but everything else feels good.

The stagnation is almost over. Even if I end up having failed my exams, at least I'll know for certain and will be able to move on with my life.

>>38768449
That is an accomplishment. As a novice biker myself, my only advice is to not burn yourself out on it. Your legs are most likely going to be very sore for the first few months after long rides like that. Try riding a more manageable 10-15 miles every day rather than a big ride every few days. And most importantly, enjoy

I thought this summer would be different. And now it's half-over already

>>38767931

>The clock is ticking. How are you going to make this month the start of your epic comeback?

I'm already applying for jobs because I want to go outside. I'm tired of going on 4chan every single day for the past year. I'm tired of being a fucking NEET. I WANT OUT

>>38768508

I definitely bit off a little bit more than I was able to chew by assuming the way back would be just as easy. I was feeling rough by the end but it was really just my ass that was killing me. I do a 5 mile ride almost daily plus I go to the gym regularly and do plenty of squats/leg presses so hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow. I will try to keep enjoying it, thank you.

Personally, I think that I am starting to outgrow 4chan. I'm 23 and have been coming here since I was maybe 14 or 15. Now that a very obvious new wave of teenagers are coming here spamming reddit, tumblr, and twittershit, in addition to the fact that this place has pretty much lost its underground status, I am really starting to lose interest. I will still come here because, after all, I'm here forever, but gone are the days that I can be endlessly stimulated or even entertained by this place.

>>38768606
try the other chans then

>>38768606
Do yourself a favor and get out now, it'll only go further south from here. Obviously I haven't made a clean break yet since I'm still here posting this, but I'm working on quitting too. There's no really good alternative but maybe we don't need one, we're more or less adults at this point...

I am a new to posting timeposts. I just wanted to be the one to do it.

This timepost is different though. Have all of you noticed the one obstacle that you have been failing to overcome? It's not depression. It's not >tfw no gf. It's not being a manlet. It's not being ugly. It's not being skeltal or landwhale. It's not lack of talent. It's not nihilism or fatalism.

It's inertia, you stupid fucks. Remember the last time you said "ok, this time for sure" or "I'm so sick of being like this"? You might've had a few productive days after that, but then it went straight to shit. Or maybe you were productive, yet depressed in school. Now it's summer and things have gone down the gutter yet again.

Inertia.

It's not that you did anything wrong when you were productive. You were making progress, even if it wasn't extremely rewarding. Those few weeks at the gym did you good! But you got fucking lazy, you idiot.

So the boulder rolled down to the bottom of the hill, and you haven't touched it in weeks, maybe months. Here's the deal. When you decide to push that boulder again, it's going to hurt like hell. If you keep waiting, it'll hurt even more whenever you decide to snap out of it.

You have to keep moving no matter what. Inertia is killing us, guys. I'm sick of living like this.

>>38767931
I'm taking the next step in planning my suicide. Got to make it look like an accident, you know.

>>38768766
A good deal of projection but I appreciate the positive message. Like I said in my previous post though, I've already been steadily working toward actual self-improvement since May

>>38768363
>17 credits

kek. social "science" credits should count for 1/3 of regular ones anon.

last year around this time i wanted to kill myself.
now I am finally happy, happier than i have been since high school.
I will never be a normie. my only goal in life was to graduate and find a job paying nicely, which I did.

I'm going to release 3 videos a week on YouTube starting tomorrow
I'm going to make a demo reel through premiere
I'm going to be an Assistant Editor while going to film school next year

I'm gonna do it for /r9k/

>>38768804

>three months
>long enough time to really change anything

You've been festering in the shithole that is your life for, well, your whole life. Why do you think three short months will make a difference?

Keep going.

>>38768766
cont.

I want to make this post as personal as possible. My friends are happy, but I am not. The people who I once considered to be more troubled than myself, are now surpassing me in ways I couldn't even imagine. Jealousy has turned into envy, and it pains me to even think of them. I removed facebook because of it.

My life, although not as grim as the lives of most robots here, is continuously getting fucked because of inertia. It has caused me years of depression, and I don't remember the last time I was happy. Maybe middle school? Hell, I'm a fucking senior in college now. If I don't' change now, when will I change?

I'm doing this for myself. I haven't done the following:

>checked my email in 2 months, and I know people have been shooting me emails
>responded to a political group I want to join
>sorted out my classes for next semester
>conversed with my advisor (in almost 1.5 years), I don't even know if I can graduate on time at this rate
>eaten all of my macros
>paid the school bill (about 3 months late)
>applied for financial aid (about 3 months late, and I literally depend on it)
>finished my project at work
>responded to the tech company recruiter for the company I am very interested in
>updated my linkedin
>updated my resume
>made a google calendar for living in general
>called my grandmother (for about 1.5 years, she might be dead for all I know)
>figure out what I'm interested in doing for a living -- At least read about stuff for fucks sake
>plan winter break trip so I'm not at home for fucking once

I think that covers a good portion. I'm literally shaking while typing this. For normies, this is easy shit. God dammit. Why the fuck do I do this EVERY FUCKING TIME.

>>38768941
>Why do you think three short months will make a difference?
I have made noticeable /fit/ness gains, improved exponentially in my craft, have traveled to two countries, met people who changed my entire worldview, and performed in front of literal thousands over the course of those three months. For the first time I can look in the mirror and like the person looking back. You're completely right about that inertia concept though, I have no intentions of stopping my forward momentum now.

I will start some IT degree with 30 yo. I think I will suffer because I'm an uncle amoing those 18 yo kids, but since I have Asperger I have some handcap.
I don't have great expectations, I just want be some who work with Information Security, GNU/Linux and have a simple job working with system penetration tests and stuff like that.

I wonder if is possible for me be a good professional with 34 yo and find some nice job that I can work with GNU/Linux all the time.

I want you to know that your post, although personal to you, has struck me deeply, because I realized this today too.

I actually realized it last year, but slowly and surely forgot. Lost that motivation.

When I started it was good. But it is something you must constantly remind yourself of. And it can be hard to remember just how bad things really were, and why you should NEVER let the inertia take over your life.

I have had a very rough weekend, anon. And I know rougher times are ahead, and soon. But this is yet another turning point, and we will succeed.

Junior in college btw my friend. I will see you on the other side.

>>38768509
biggest recommendation I have it's to drink a shitton of water.

before every meal have a glass, have a glass with every meal, including snacks.

have one when you wake up as well.

hard mode is once every time you pee as well.

>>38769466
Won't that just give him a lot of water weight, though?

>>38769481
water weight is only something that really matters of you're cutting to make a weight class for a contest.What it does for most people that overeat is take up room in their stomachs.

it's like dieting but without ask the thinking

I start a diet tomorrow: No soda, no junk food, no unhealthy baked goods, etc. I plan to lose 20 pounds.

>>38769607
I've tried this time and time again but all in vain. How the fuck can i train myself not to eat shit all day? i don't have the willpower and being psychologically addicted to weed doesn't help

>>38769481
Better the weight from water sloshing inside your stomach rather than from fat suffocating your organs.

>>38768433
If you haven't improved your attitude then you'll definitely never make progress

>How are you going to make this month the start of your epic comeback?
Funny enough I was just saying to myself I'm gonna make a comeback earlier. I've been in a bad depressive slump this past year. Signed up for some classes through CC today, gonna finish my associates next semester then transfer uni. I should have finished back in May but I basically took Sophomore slump a little to literally.
Also I turn 20 on the 19th, so here's hoping the next decade of my life will be better than the last.

Just remember. Whatever your goal is, the effort you think it'll take... it's going to be a lot more than double the effort. So don't put half ass effort into what you think it'll take because you'll fail. Increase your goal and effort and you'll actually get somewhere.

this nightmare never ends

I don't think I can face the year 2020. I'm going to drive up to the mountains in the fall and find a nice secluded spot to blow my brains out at. I know that my life isn't going to improve in less than 3 years, what I want is unobtainable because I screwed up too much and it's my own fault
