The Only Time I'm Happy Anymore

“Friends may come and go, but 200 pounds is always 200 pounds.”
-Henry Rollins

You are in college unless you go to like Ivy Tech or some “Online College” bullshit, it shouldn’t suck. Live it up…Go out more, make more friends, sleep with more sluts…and change up your routine.

Yeah…herd that one before.

The depression is like a wet floor you keep forgetting to mop up. I slip, fall, get up, go about my business, then I slip and bust my ass again.

I got back today…which means deadlifts for me. No straps…but I got my belt.

I commute from home to a private college. So that means alot of stuck up, rich, ugly girls. lol. And I cant get away from the memories becasue there right there.

I see my bed I see her.

I hear a song we listened too, and I cry.

I’m taking…someones advice…cant remember which one of u it was…

I’m going away this summer for about 5 weeks. Florida. To work for my uncle and to get away from the town of Perry.

And i’m considering transferring to GA southern to live on my own away from home…its cheaper anyway even with room and board.

I didnt think this thread was gonna recieve any attention. So I was surprised to have a PM from a poster and see so many responses. It’s cool that theres so many other people who have been where I’m at or at least understand the situation who lift like I do.

We may all be lifting for different reasons (bodybuilders, power lifters, athletes, gym rats) but you guys GET it.

and thats a blessing to me. really. thank you.

I’ll let you guys know how Im doing in a few days or weeks.

Lol, at least you didnt join marine corps infantry straight out of highschool - infantry and mass gaining dont even belong in the same sentence. Believe me… it could be worse and you aint the only one that feels like shit all the time, you should hear the bitchin of the majority of my platoon with half the dumbshit we do on a daily basis. I get my fix in the gym too… but cant half the time when I gotta run fuckin 6 miles every morning at 530 or do some other bs morning PT, then not get off until fuckin 7 pm.

I’m confused. Get over it man.

You just haven’t experienced much yet if your bitching about college and girls. Those aren’t problems, that’s life.

College sucks? It’s hard? Join the military, go to war, come back and tell me how much sitting in an air conditioned class room staring at the thongs of dumb college sluts all while knowing it’s going to land you a good paying job.

You broke up with your girl, find another, because I’ve got a little news for you, they are all the same.

I respect you for being in the military. really. but don’t bitch at me because your life sucks. You maid a choice. no one maid u sighn on the dotted line. And no one forced u not to study in high school either. You maid a choice.

that last one want directed at you. lol.

I actually dread graduating college - it will mean paying bills on my own, not having food available all the time, not having the freedom to do work when I want (afternoon/evening) and lift when I want (late morning). I’ve had an internship and I was bored out of my mind. I do not want to be stuck at a desk, but that’s the life of an engineer.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I’ll be graduating from one of the best engineering schools in the nation (RPI), but I don’t want to enter the work force. I find my schoolwork boring and pointless. I don’t know how to apply the material, as I only study for the test and then do fairly well on it. I’m hoping what happened to Shug’s happens to me!

It sucks but bitching and thinking about it all the time doesn’t help, trust me ive been there. Go make some new friends, talk to new girls and just get over it.

My god, the whining and bitching is fucking obnoxious.

Your problems are minute and laughable.

When I went to college four years ago, two years into it my girlfriend of four years and I broke up. Who gives a shit, obviously she was not the person I am suppose to be with, so whatever. Once you let that bitch go, and look towards the future, it is beautiful.

Let me tell you something pussy, no matter how bad you have it, someone has it worse. Take me for example, within a month I will be going to jail for ten days. Jail, not prison, but jail, for some shit that went down in Atlanta. Now jail is not a big deal, and ten days is not that long, but still, ten days of my life taken away. Does it affect me? Nope, shit happens.

Today I found out I cannot extend my lease for the summer because someone came in and signed a new lease yesterday for it. So I have to find a new place to live in a month, for three months. Whatever, shit happens.

I’m suppose to graduate in august, if all goes well. But lucky me I have the hardest classes of my college career left this semester and this summer. I don’t even care about my gpa at this point, I just want my piece of paper so I can start the next chapter of life.

My point is, your problems are not problems, they are insignificant bullshit that everyone goes through, stop thinking you are special.

You are not deaf, you are not blind, handicapped, deformed, disfigured, retarded, you don’t have a deadly fucking disease, etc. There is nothing wrong with you or your life aside from the fact that you cry like a bitch over some whore that is fucking someone else now. Knock it the fuck off, you are pathetic.

I will leave you with something I always say to douche bags in your situation. The philosopher Nietzsche stated that if you go through life without suffering you are not living. Suffering brings out the best and full potential of life. It is when you are at your lows you learn and grow and actually appreciate the high points and life.

And someone had a gun to your head making you go to college?

I wasn’t trying to get respect or tell you your less for not joining the military.

My point is, I’ve done College and the Military. And college doesn’t even compare, so quit your bitching and get some real problems.

you know, maybe going to war is far more “trouble” than college, but you are being a soldier. its like… the manliest “job” there is. so while there are lots of shit in a way and i understand that, you cant deny that there are some parts that you like. otherwise you wouldnt enlist in the first place.

going to college and taking something that you absolutely are bored of and as soon as you even think of the word studying you feel like throwing the desk away and cant stand still, its still a problem.

different, maybe bigger, maybe smaller. dont be so quick to judge, you never know what someone is going through.

but IMO yes a war is a much bigger problem than any college problem.

As a good friend of mine used to say to just about any problem; “Is it life threatening?”.

That pretty much made anything seem like less of a big deal.

Having never served, I can’t comment on how military life compares to college. That said, try working your way through engineering school. Most weeks (obviously not all, since I’m posting here), literally every minute of every day is consumed by some obligation, and after a while it starts to wear one down. I’m not complaining, this was my choice, and I don’t want to start a misery dick competition, I’m just trying to point out that school isn’t necessarily the vacation some people seem to think it is.

My solution was to take a semester off and get a real job. Working a 9-5 again will be like a vacation, and since I got the company to call it an internship, the school will let me put my scholarships on hold for a semester. I know a lot of schools will let you do this, since it makes them look better if you get a good job right out of college because of the prior work experience.

If you just need a break from school to figure some things out, maybe you should see if your university offers something similar?

If everyone on this thread were in a room together, right now everyone would be looking at the floor not blinking.
Really, guy? Your life sounds like a fucking John Lee Hooker song.

Anyway…

Everything else has been said, and quite eloquently may I might add. You’ll be fine my friend, been there, girl and all. It works out, it’ll happen again, it’ll work out.

Best of luck to you.

Everyone has problems…end of story, leave him alone. I often feel the same way (Im in college)…but then I remember everyone has been there and makes it through just fine.

Uhhhhh . . . does anyone else here wonder how this kid got into college?

Man it sucks that everyone but you controls the direction of your life

To the OP, I’m feeling you right now. We all have bad things going on sometimes, it’s what you do with what happens that makes you who you are.
