What drives you?

just follow my routine

ATP hydrolysis

glycolysis dweeb

A desire to see and experience new things, and in depth rather than through holidays. It has had its costs but all in all it has been worth it so far.

My 2003 Toyota Corolla

>The car drives me.
I prefer to drive my car.

Changes every two weeks. Sometimes it's delayed and I stay in "depression" longer.

It used to be just that I want to better myself in every way possible, being extremely proactive about a lot of things.
But now its just to get away for shitty blood relatives including mother,father,sister who are money crazed people who would sell each other for the big dollar.
I'm kind of an outlier and I enjoy things for what they are and having fun being better is the goal for me. Unfortunately that will have to wait until I earn money to live alone.
Its worth it.

Guess I feel like my parents and the government have invested too much in me at this point, and it would be a dick move to commit sudoku without giving back first.

And routine.

i drives me?

No, i drive

NO I DO

Amphetamines and the sunken cost fallacy mostly.

Some stealthy aliens will survive longer than humans. Lucky fuckers.
Maybe the real god sends us all to hell after we die. Lucky bitch. Humans, take them all!

fear

The prospect of immortality and an insatiable appetite for knowledge.

Not him but Drivers Licence.

Denial

If you don't study for the sake of studying, you're not gonna make it.

The fact that I'm gonna be a billionaire some day.

Get on my level.

I have been there mostly (Physics rather than Chemistry) but I got into industry before poverty got too overwhelming. While I didn't mainline on EDTA I did get my fair share of radiation accidents, electrocutions and metal poisoning complete with trips to the hospital/doctors/radiation protection officers and more.

No kids though, that is spot on. The train left the station years ago.

Still, I had a good time between the accidents and only have some minor permanent damages.

the huge rock, gotta roll it up

I want to become a Warrior King and save the world, by instilling peace through extreme order! Non meme answer is... dunno, man. "Power", fame, whatever. I'm not in love with science, it's a tool to be used in order to improve the world and your position in it while learning about "creation" itself. I don't wanna be stuck in a lab, I want to find/create/come up with something, set up my own company and take it from there.

Glad to hear you got out I guess.

The Adderall really has me fucked up. When I take it I really enjoy my project and find what I'm doing really motivating and interesting and I'm happy to be pursuing the PhD. Every once in a while though I'll stop taking it for a month or two just to give myself a break and during that time its awful. I'll hate what I'm doing, find everything boring and I'm horrified at the fact that my "doped-up" self has committed me to 5 more years of this.

I have a proper diagnosis and prescription and everything so now I cant figure out if deep down I actually do enjoy this sort of stuff and just need the help to get myself organized, or if I actually don't give a shit about it and my entire post-secondary career has been a big chemical-induced lie.

If anyone is thinking of abusing it just to "make it through undergrad" I'd advise against it, just so you don't accidentally spend years of your life working towards a goal that you're not actually all that interested in achieving.

Make lots of money. Save the world. Have some adventures. Get the girl. I'm still operating with a childhood dream, but fuck it, whatever keeps you going, right? I mean, in the end, that's all we have.

Thirsty for justice. So thirty.

presently, nothing

even if i do everything right, a life of wageslaving and isolation is all it will amount to

>so thirty
Are you more thirty than most?

Yeah Adderall fucking sucks but it gets me or of bed in the morning so I keep taking it

My little sister. I gave up after failing the test 3 times, it was more than my anxiety can handle.

ayy my nigga sisy

A lot of things drive me. One is the fear of failure (not like my experiments getting negative results for a little bit kind of failure, more like none of my gradschool choices accept me and everyone looks down upon me kind of failure).
Another is the prospect of me making the world a better place by using my knowledge to build new things. I see myself as not an engineer but a tinkerer, treading through unknown waters with only a single piece of information, and using my wits to end with something useful.
I also absolutely hate when people think they are better than me, so I go ham to show that they need to adjust their attitudes when thinking about other people.

Avoiding suffering, seeking pleasure, and boredom

>9418034
ego (understanding something is a challenge for me). I wonder when some failure really hits me hard.
also fear of the shitty future if I had taken other route
surrounding yourself with cheesy inspirations is cringy but helps a lot.

If you dont study for the sake of studying for studying, youre not gonna make it

same, I like to think a lot of people do this, we just never say it

Thanks for the vid, confirms my deterministic worldview. Also makes sense when it comes the omnipotent god

Lol, i just want to be able to retire as soon as possible, and spend the rest of my life With my future children and waifu. Fuck everything else, including the world and "adventure".
Pic related is my waifu
