I thought I graduated in May and got my B.S. in Mech Engineering Tech, and that my life was set, and I could get a good paying job and I'd finally be able to take care of myself. I got a letter yesterday, almost 3 months after graduation, saying I'm short 3 credits and my graduation status got withdrawn. Since they notified me so late, I can't take summer classes and have to take one more class in the Fall. I called the registrar's office to see what the fuck happened and they basically told me it was entirely my fault despite having confirmed with my advisor and another administrative person that I would graduate on time (everyone who transferred from the community college I did got their transfer credits completely fucked and all of us spent our first year there trying to unfuck the situation to varying degrees of success). Now I'll have to commute an hour and a half each way to the college just to take a two hour course twice a week.

I lost the girl of my dreams. She got with someone she recently got back in touch with after some odd years. I saw everything in this girl. I still do. She made me happy. That's something I never felt before. She helped me through a lot, so I can't cut her out. She's still my friend. I still see her more as that though. I still love her more than anyone in the world. I can't let go of this feeling. I want her to be happy, but I can't be happy knowing that she's with someone else. I can't stand the thought of it. Everything about her still appeals to me. Her short hair, her adorable face, and her small, lovely frame. She assures me that I did nothing wrong, that she just doesn't see me in that way anymore. I feel like somewhere I fucked up. I don't understand how you can just stop loving someone. I used to be able to hold her close, kiss her, tell her I love her, and just be happy with her. Everything was just pulled out of me when she told me she was with someone else. I want her back. What did I do to deserve this?

I feel for you man, I really do. I've had a girl do this to me before; six months in she just says "I met someone else this weekend" and ghosted me. People lose interest. It's sad, it's broken, and I hate it just as much as you do. All I can say is that it probably isn't your fault, and it is never as bad as it looks. There's always some hope; hell, I'm just some random guy on a forum and I noticed your story enough to type out way too much of a response. That's gotta count for something, right?

As for me I'm just an incoming freshman, not sure what I want to major in but am really looking forward to trying to make my own company. I want to create an asteroid mining company, get myself into heavy industry in space. Also I'm a hopeless romantic, but I guess that describes most of /wg/. Long time lurker by the way, this has always been my favorite board.

My personal favorite wall

Going into third year in metallurgy and doing some beginning research in additive manufacturing (3d printing metals). Things seem to be going well but same as the guys above me, still struggling from a break up about 9 months ago now. It kinda struck me the other day when my friend casually referred to me as "broken." So I guess I'm not as good at hiding it as I thought. I hate to be another edgelord in here but I can't seem to figure out why I feel so lost when my future seems to be playing out almost perfectly for now.

Anyway, enjoy the wall. I've taken a lot more than I have contributed but better late than never.

Guy from germany here.

My gf broke up with me several months ago after she told it me out of nowhere and didn't contacted me since. She was everything for me, I even risked my life for her.

Besides that I'm just your average sad guy with a long list of mental disorders that will never get fixed no matter how many months I am in the psychiatry.

I love this board and the people here btw.

I'm an engineering undergrad who loves vexillology. My grandfather gave me an old Spanish State flag that he bought whwn he went there in the 70s. I loved it and it started my collection of flags. Aside from that I really like traveling and exploring the countries where I get flags from.

Looks good to me DESU, but I'm no artist I guess

And I think it is kind of difficult but you can get a work visa and then apply for permanent residence I think? You would have to look into it tho lol. I don't really need to apply for one

Another Canadian here. I love redheads. So much I am stuck to one that has ruined my life. She's slightly crazy has a great body and is amazing in the sack. I started cheating on her a few years ago. Even the few hours a week with another woman keeps me sane. stupid right. Maybe someday i'll stop being a dumbass.

Well, I'm a big lurker that enjoys wallpapers. Currently looking for tablet/phone wp's but that doesn't matter

I'm a Canadian man who was raised in a small town. I enjoy music ranging from classic rock to vaporwave.

Don't look at your disorders as being "fixable" or not. You are who you are, flaws and all. Life is sometimes awful and painful, and always unfair.
This is coming from someone with a whole life full of anxiety and depression, so I do understand.
Don't give up on therapy. If it isn't working for you, find another doctor/therapist. It took me forever to find one I can actually talk to.

So, me: started hanging out on this board a few months ago, and I love it here.
Recently two of my best friends moved away, and I miss them so much, I feel so out of balance without them. We're all so busy we can hardly find time to talk.
I love this board and everyone on it. Thanks for being here, /wg.

I live in the U.S. Moved 12 hours away from everyone I knew because I fucked around in school and had to go to a smaller school. Been in school about 4 years and still have another 2 to go to get this damn bachelor's degree. Positive side, I met this really great girl that I recently started dating and we take a lot of classes together. Seems like a nice fit for now.

Graduated this spring, searching day and night for a job. I've applied to hundreds of jobs online and in person. Been to about 5 interviews but no callbacks. Got married while at university but my wife and i are stuck at her parents place until i can establish an income. Still hopeful but it's been a long road to get to this point.

For about the past four years my life was getting bleaker and more miserable for me as time went on. Some uneasy changes happened and I hit a low point. After that I started to try new things and change my outlook. It hasn't been long but I feel much better. It's a slow climb out of where I was but I feel like it's the start of a new period of my life where I am gaining more control and strength.

19, passionate about Engineering and Videogames.

I like building things myself, solving little problems everyday. One of my dreams is to have a big workshop (like the one in the picture) where I can work on all day and night and not in my little house I have right now.

I also love Dota and one of my goals is to get to 7k, although I would like to engage into more videogames one of these days. I bought Majora's Mask for 3DS so I'm going to try it out.

I feel like a child finally realizing how stressful adult life will be.

I'm starting to apply for colleges and I'm so worried about how I'm going to make my professor parents proud. I don't give a shit about grades, and I'm not even too concerned with college. I'm really into computer science but...my boyfriend's really amazing at programming so I feel really stupid in comparison. I'm not even sure if I'll make it. I'm pretty bad at math and my dad thinks that I should just marry a rich guy and become an artist. When I was younger I thought I was smart but now I just feel like I'm playing a facade.

Hopefully I'll make it.

>>6651245
sounds like the relationship's bad for both of you. I mean, it's not fair for her that you're cheating on her, and you seem to think that she's ruined your life. Maybe try to be honest with yourself and find what you really want in your life

>>6651981
This is exactly me. I always felt smart until today, that I see I've got nothing. I want to see my mother proud of me, of how I graduated from a top notch college, but it just sounds so impossible. I want to study computer science too but it all seems so thrilling at moments I don't think I will make it.

Sometimes all I wish is to go back in time and wash my past sins and all the time I lost. Start studying programming languages like the "genius" everyone thinks I am and be good at everything.

>>6652024
Wow, yes, exactly.

But how exactly do you have nothing? I think that maybe college isn't even that important if it's not what you want. Like...perhaps it really is just up to individuals to decide to make themselves proud...disregarding other peoples' opinions. But it's difficult. And in the end I have to wonder if just making myself proud it good enough.

I'm sure you're very smart. And people can live new lives every day. I'm sure you'll "make it" one way or another.

Occasional lurker, building up my papes collection.
Feel like I have no passion in life nor purpose. Kind of floating through life right now, not sure what's missing or what I can do about it,

>>6652027

I just feel like I have lost all of my youth doing nothing but plannig. And now that the time has come to go to college (which is kind of a big deal since I want to get out of my country) I realize I got nothing on my hands to prove I'm worth of what I want to have in life.

But yeah, hopefully we'll make it :)

>>6652031
!!! I want to get out of my country (or at least my state) as well. I want to go someplace quiet and far away like Europe or Britain and just learn and learn and never have to worry about disappointing anybody because nobody will know me.

I wish you all the best. Haha, thanks : )

>>6652034
A new and fresh start where nobody knows who you are. Do what you always wanted to do with nobody telling you it's wrong.

That's the reason I'm getting out too. Best wishes anon!

>>6652043
This was a nice convo. Goodnight Anon!
Thanks for being so nice.
