Gin is one of the finest liqueurs known to man and deserves a little respect.[/quote]

I had a cocktail made with Hendricks gin and I liked it. So a bought a nip of Hendricks and I liked it with a few cubes and water. So I bought a fifth. I like that.

It actually does help knowing there’s someone else out there like me. I just hope you don’t end up like me. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone

Dude, you live on the wrong coast. Your desired lifestyle is made for the west coast. Much more laid back than the fast paced east coast. Go West Young Man! Go shake hands with Arnold! And stop drinking so much, smoke a joint instead.

I’ve often thought that.

For everyone that asked: I’m 27, I have a bachelor’s in psychology, about 70,000 in student loan debt, and no career because a bachelor’s in psych is useless. I don’t have a job because for a month or two the stock thing was going great…until it shit all over itself and I’m going to have to default on my loans probably. [/quote]

Hey, you got it SO fucking bad, huh? Do you think everyone else has it so easy? Are you so fucking arrogant to think that life only shits on YOU? Give me a fucking break!!

There’s people that would kill to be in your position. What about the single parents working their asses off to feed their kids, pay the morgage, car insurance, or take public transportation. People who are disabled, or in bad health, would tell you what an ungrateful little, whiny, prick you are for pissing your life away.

You have a fucking degree in psychology!!! Didn’t learn enough to realize that you need help?? That was money well spent…

Life’s fucking hard. Roll with the punches or slowly decay and die.

Boo hoo, look at me.

OK. I have got a lot of advice for the OP, but I’ll write it up later. The first lesson he needs to learn is:

“KEEP EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT IN YOUR LIFE WITHIN A HEALTHY RANGE. overshoot the mark and you’ll end up killing yourself, undershoot the mark and someone will end up killing you.”

More lessons will be posted. I also release a newsletter dealing with life, goals, relationships, finance and paranormal phenomena so you might want to subscribe to it.

Anyway, gin was on sale again so i bought a couple liters for 12 bucks and I’m drinkin it tonight so I thought I’d post here because I have no one else to talk to.

craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawling in myyyyyyyyyyyy skin, etc.

A.A.-Twelve steps-You have 50 years ahead of you. If you go there you will meet a room full of people. They probably didn’t think they were alcoholics at one time either. Think of the contribution to society-with a clean sober you.
Just don’t read this and blow it off-check it out. Love your self first and then you can love others.

Ok, AcipiterZ.

You’re very sensitive. Need a drink and a gun?

I had a whole bunch of shit written out, but I think I’ll just settle for calling the TC an idiot, tell him to put down the bottle, find a nice girl (hint: most don’t hang out at bars) and make that BA work for him.

wwaaaah???

do you mean the OP?

not TC, the OP

You can work in the business world with an undergrad degree in psychology, some businesses actually are looking for such people. If you don’t want to start paying your student loans see if you can defer them longer if you go to school as a special student. You could do the special student thing for a year while you apply to graduate schools. Social work schools aren’t particularly competitive.

School psychology is a good field to go into and only requires a masters degree. I’m using my undergrad psych degree to get into a public health school. There are options but you won’t find too many of them in the bottle. It seems you don’t have the best judgement as you decided to quit working because your stocks were doing really well? I’d sell my fucking stocks before I quit my job but that’s me. Anyway, wish you the best, hope you decide to take on life rather than piss it all away drinking and partying with college kids.

You lost a bunch of money, that really fucking sucks, now the question is how much do you want the next 10 or more years to suck? If you feel like giving up you really need to seek professional help. If you feel you are in a rut that you can’t climb out of. Weakness is not seeking help when you need it, not avoiding counseling in general.

It’s about time that got brought back up!

OP, if you need some inspiration, watch The Happening. There’s a good scene of Zooicide in that movie.

Although watching The Happening may cause anyone to want to commit Zooicide. Forget I said it.

Ok, so I’m 27. For the things I like to do in life that’s ancient. I know it’s young biologically. But I’m not happy. I’m starting to look creepy going to college nights at clubs.

I’m one of my last friends drinking pints of gin every friday & saturday. But I like it. I just have no friends to do it with because they’re all married. I’m so lonely. But I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.

THere’s nothing left for me. I know I know…do shit you like and meet people that way…but the thing is…no one my age does the shit I do. THey all have careers and are driven and attract like minded people.

I was always afraid of ending up like those 28 or 29 year old people with no job or career and sitting around drinking and still ‘partying’ and being 5 years older than everyone at the parties they go to.

Guess what I am now? I had so much potential. I was taking junior level college courses by the time I was 17, and now 10 years later I’ve actually become what i never wanted to be. Now apparently my student loans are going to come due soon and I have no money.

I’m not sure I see many ways out of this. I don’t have a way to earn enough money to cover loans and basic living expenses. I was doing well with stocks and then the market crashed and I lost 95% of my money. I started with a few hundred bucks and worked my waaaaay up.

I was thinking about buying my mom a car, and even a house down the road. Now it’s all gone, I have no career, no way to get one, no way to afford any grad school I’d have to pay for, no woman, no friends left really.

You sound almost exactly like a friend of mine, except he’s 31. You suffer from depression because your life sucks. You don’t need drugs, you don’t need therapy. You need to get a job.

Do you know how you get a career? You get a shitty entry level job where you work your ass off for peanuts, you learn a few skills, get some experience on your resume, and either you move up the ladder, or move to a new company that offers you slightly better hours, and slightly better pay. Eventually, this becomes a career. Welcome to adulthood.

I despise the entire concept of royalty.

Agreed.

When people ask my opinion here (in the UK), some think I’m crazy that I wouldn’t kneel to the queen or anything along those lines. I’d simply treat her like any other old person.

Add me to your philosophical group my friend.

Sure, she brings in tourists, but really, she’s a miserable old woman who can barely raise a smile, despite being one of the richest women on the planet.

I am trying very hard to not post Pistols lyrics. She’s not a human being. Tourists are money. Potential H–help me!

Fuck it. No Future For You, OP.

I wouldnt be so sure that getting a job will solve all of this. I know plenty of people with jobs who are still unhappy.

I get the two terms confused. Yes, I meant the OP.

WTF is wrong with my generation. It’s as though people my age go to college and then they think they’re done.

“Got my degree, now somebody hand me my millions whilst I retire. dip dee do.”

Grow the fuck up. You remind me of an old “friend” I had lunch with several months ago who decided to get snarky and asked me.

“Does it ever bother you that you’re approaching 30 and you don’t have a degree?”

My response was
“Does it bother you that you have two degrees and you still live with your mommy? Or how about the fact that you’re about to ask a college dropout to pay for your lunch because you can’t afford to eat in this restaurant?”

I know your type, you’re a fucking loser. You’ll probably always be a loser, and it’s no one’s fault but your own.
All that education and you’re still a pathetic pile of shit.

Grats.

I’ve known a few who had the same exact attitude, and I felt like punching them in the throat.
