Are you happy?

I've basically fucked up all the oportunites I've had. I graduated Valedictorian, scored great on SAT's and ACT's, got "almost" a full-ride to college...and now I'm in danger of losing it after this year b/c I can't buckle down and do wht I need to do. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
I know exactly what I need to do, I'm smart enough to do it, I just don't. I really shouldn't even be on the computer now. All I do is sleep, play Halo 2, and check the forums. My life sucks, I don't know what to do, I've fucked up big time, and I hate myself. I'm just lost in a whole I dug myself, and can't find anyway out.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Something will come up that will bring your focus back. Subsitute Halo 2 with trying to understand car audio and you got me. I spend more time studying car audio than I do school, and I have more questions when I sleep than when I started.

Don't quit school or anything...just try to find a reason to regain your focus. Or pick a new major. I think about money more than I think about ***. So I rarely loose focus, except when it boring legwork, never apply in reality.

i was born in 1964..............yup 41, ive seen people with money and houses miserable, and people with nothing laughing, i can tell you for a FACT that the way you feel is not dependant on what you own, or how much you earn, if you have somewhere good to sleep tonight, something to eat, and hope for tomorrow, your better off than 3/4 of the worlds population.between now and tomorrow same time 100,000s' of people will STARVE to death and we ***** about wanting a bigger sub? if your not happy to have someting to eat, some where good to sleep and hope, try going to a different city and sleeping on the streets for a week, i guarentee when you get home to a hot shower and a fridge with cheese and beer, you will be very very happy

good point u old fart. or go to jail and come home to hot showers and great food //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif im free!!!!!

I'm in a very similar boat... went to a specialized high school, got a full ride at the Honors program of my school, and now I'm in danger of losing it because I'm not willing to just sit down and do my work.

I hate being lazy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

I know how you feel bro. I got a 75% scholarship to FSU, fucked that up with a bad gpa. Now I'm ****ing stuck back living with my parents in this piece of shit town thats going to hell faster than Wenzel himself. Most of my friends have either moved away, or turned out to be pieces of shit, and about every girl here it seems is underage. Im supposed to be graduating community college next semester, but to be honest I have NO idea what I want to major in still, but I pretty much have to go anyways for my insurance. Probably the only reason I don't just off myself is cause there's people who hate my guts and would be happy about that, can't let those assholes win. That and, well, can't die when theres half of a perfectly good system waiting to be installed:uhoh:

Being in college = awesome. Mom pays for everything except my bad habits... cant really complain about my living situation, gotta nice house in the suburbs, car paid for, decent rules, doesnt care that I blaze. gotta job fixing computers that i get paid ~$250 a week so its all gravy .

I can really concur with NG on this one. I'm an extremely smart kid I just dont do what i'm supposed to do. skipping college classes = no good. If I wouldnt have d*cked around in high school I would be at the UofM right now, but I'm not, f*ck it.

Mistakes = Knowledge.

Procrastination = the devil

I'm happy with what I got, who i kick it with, and wouldn't have it any other way.

life is good right now, can't complain, got a decent job along with other job opportunities, live in a decent place with only my mom and I don't bother her, she doesn't bother me, own 10 acres of land in Utah, starting out good in college right now and I've exceeded my expectations, the hardship though, is balancing 40 hrs of work on top of a load of classes, I try to take school more seriously cause I know deep down it is the one true good thing going for my future, also, overcoming the confusion and gaining focus on what degree and field I want to go into is pending..., I just try to take each day in stride and be positive.

Sucks to be you guys losing your scholarships...I didnt get jack for scholarships, and I bust my *** at school. Im in my senior year of Electrical engineering and I'm gonna stick it out for another year and get a double major in computer engineering. I'm taking 19 credits this semester, all senior level EE courses, (and no, I dont know what I was thinking), thank god its almost over.

As for the college debt, so you'll have to pay it off over time, but since you are going to college you should be able to get a decent job, better than if you didnt go, (as long as you majored in something good, IE not an english major).

[vettelovr1124 10+ year member]

I love my situation right now:

Staying at the Tech

Financially set with cash that Tech gives me

That's all I need.

College...freedom without responsibility...gotta love it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Well some of you guys sound pretty sad. Hope you guys start to turn things around for the better. Just keep your head up high and think about the future. I know it is hard as I have been depressed before too. I think my life has changed for the better having my kid and having an awesome girlfriend soon to be my wife. I do however wish my back would feel better and that I could be more creative with my time I now have on my hand. But besides work and my family and the up keep of my house and paying all the bills I do alot and I mean alot of sitting around and being lazy. But hell I can becasue I pay to be lazy now, lol! I wish you guys all the best!

I don't enjoy my job, I make decent money & the benefits are good, but, naw, I'm not happy.

To tell the truth, I'm not sure I'll ever reach happiness though.
