Today jusst happened to be one of those days. not that kind of day where you eake up, do a stretch or two and get ready for a great day, but a day where you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and every thing gets to you.

it all started at 9 am when the cell alarm went off. i have a physics exam to take today, oh the joy. i tried getting out of it, but i couldnt. so i spent the weekend studying and hoped for the best. the exam went fine, which scares me. usually when a test/exam in physics goes well, it means i did bad. so now im worried that ill have a bad grade.

so i came home from school, and i called the community collge to get information about the placement test. thats going to be wednesdays adventure. i dont want to go to college just yet, i feel im not ready to choose my life. my mom gives me the greatest support in everything i do. my dad on the other hand wants what is best for me. an easy life with a college degree. my dads self employed, so we work very hard. i can take over his buisness if i want. that bums me out too. i dont have a direction for life, but i have a fall back plan...wtf.

everything just seems to be adding up now at the end of the month. yes i have a lot to look forward to: summer, graduation, college, my s2000. but i also have a lot that gets me down. i just broke up with my girlfriend, and im having trouble with her friends a little bit, college is a lot of pressure now along with trying to choose a proper major, work sucks (i dont like my job, but its one of those family jobs you have to keep), im in debt because of the car loan now.

im not one of hose depressed kids. im a thinker, i think about everything. so at times when i feel down, i think about whats bothering me. usually i keep things to myself and deal with it, but a lot of members on here are older than me and sometimes provide good advice comparred to myslef and friends. i feel a little better now though, time for a shower and more thinking...

 

Sorry, no sympathy here only advice. When things are getting you down and you think you've got it bad, just remember how good you've really got it and feel sorry for those that are worse off than you because there is always someone that's got it harder than you.

You live in a free country, you have both of your parents, you drive an S2000 and your lucky enough to be getting a good education with the support of your family. When you look at things this way you should begin to realise just how lucky that you are and how foolish you were to begin thinking how hard your life is to deal with.

You sound like a smart kid, just keep your chin up, stop worrying and keep things in perspective

Things could always be worse. Feel lucky that they're not. Just keep your head up.

 

The main thing that gets to me is this college stuff. Im not sure if its me not wanting to grow up, or im just scared of failure. i want to be a happy person in life, not one of those buisness people that hate their bosses. i want to find somehting i enjoy and i can make money at. ive always been very resonsable for my age, and i guess i just dont want to F my life up. i guess ill just take it one step at a time and let what is meant to happen, happen.

 

Well, I'll add my 2psi here too. I will give you no sympathy either as I had it far worse off then you do now. When I was 18, I had a beater car that I scraped my money for. It was a $1500 car and I knew I could never afford something like I have now.

I graduated with a GPA of 3.8 and had all my plans laid out or collage. I had no idea what I was gonna do or where I was gonna go, but I knew if all else fails, try again. My parents tried to support me but I knew they had no $$. My father was self employed also, but carpet laying is not a womans' job (even though I helped for 3 years).

Needless to say, it's been 9 years and I have never made it to collage, yet I have a fairly decent job, a house, an S2000 & an EVO and am happily married for 6+ years. All I had to do was take the plunge and not look back.

Right now you're young. You are afraid of taking the leap and finding you cant swim. However, it's instinct to tread water, you just have to try....soon enough you can swim good enough to get to shore.

BTW, you dont want to be like my friends brother....34 years old, single, lives with mom and dont have anything to show for his life. His life consists of work and home. Nothing else. Please do me a favor and dont end up like him, as long as you dont, you're doing great!!
