Those are not exclusive. This could be the beginning of something great. Just listen to that which is awakening in you.

I figure I can deal with at least one of these problems this summer (aka going to try to lose weight). Motivations?

Also anything to deal with the feel of possibly having screwed up my previously stellar-looking career plans? I'll still be fine, but the internship I got was such an unbelievable oppotunity, my GPA was so good, and now that opportunity definitely cannot return

hows the military treating you, what branch and what do you do? just turned 22 and for the past year i've been pushing the boulder up the hill from years of neetdom. don't see very many options for upward mobility so i'm looking to enlist after two more months of shit work and living with the parents. looking toward air force or navy to get some good technical education for when i get out, looking to do maybe four years. any advice?

The Counte of Monte Cristo

Not really relevant to your situation but its a nice book to kill some time, which it seems like you have a lot of. If you don't really read too much fiction, I can do another rec.

Yeah, don't do it. For 4 years they own you, then they keep tabs on you for the rest of your life. Unless you're going to use the military for nepotism, just don't.

Hey, can you tell me how stupid gang members are? Like, are they stupid enough to jump and beat someone who is prepared for it? Will they try it anyway? Or are they smarter, like organized crime? What kind of gang were you in?

Ireland here, for some reason American "candies" started appearing here large in the last few years, you can find Pop tarts in the local supermarkets. Never seen hot pockets before though

It could easily be ~800, like I said, depending on how much I want to save. I'm 23 and I didn't have dear old rich family to help me do whatever the fuck I want in life.

You younger? You making more guy? You earn it yourself? Go on then, what do you do?

What kind and why would you do this to yourself

...

Management consulting. There's no need to get assblasted, just stop deluding yourself that 40 hours is "working all week" or "a lot".

...

More like a deliwquent youth gang.
Sorry for not clarifying.
Nothing like a mafia, though I used to work in a restaurant belonging to a gangster turned legal, and I weep for the energy that I will never get back.
Fuck organized crime.
It was more like a self-defence group when everything was collapsing around us.
We got tattoos by the same girl,
We went in search and destroy mission to look for some rapists,
Lived together, did drugs together, made money and spend it together, did parties, actually tried to study and help each other progress a bit in life.
A feaw turned to organized crime.
Others got jobs, a lot I dont know dont care.
Left the thing when some of them, wanted us to become soldiers/ followers for political figures etc. And have more "discipline" and "faith" and "loyalty".

It would be basically impossible for my dyphsraxic, anxiety riddled lazy ass to do any kind of regular work, and am too dumb to be an engineer, so I chose a "respectable" humanities subject. Do not have even a tenth of the ambition or skill to make it in the real world so I hope they just put me in a corner somehwere to help immigrants with their fines.

You left out that part where I asked how old you were, if you made more profit/month, if it is really profit (are you in any debt?), and if you have a nepotistic family helping you and you really aren't putting forth any effort.
I'm not 'assblasted'. A 40 hour work week isn't "a lot", I know, but you aren't accounting for the work I take home with me, but neither did I mention it. I do a lot of work on my personal time too, I just have to. Since you are in management consulting I'm guessing you're older than I am. So, drawing comparisons and rendering criticism shouldn't be what you're doing without providing your own worth first.

You do realize that no form of law should be considered easy for a lazy person. Even 'humanities' law which I'm sure there is a better term for. You don't sound like a law student.

>You do realize that no form of law should be considered easy for a lazy person
Yeah I realise that now but I'm four years in.

>You don't sound like a law student
Tell me about it. I probably won't sound like much of a lawyer when I finish.

>Fuck organized crime

Why, when they are so much smarter and effective than the brand of "gang" you just described?
Did you all think you were vigilantes or something hunting rapists? Did you have evidence of their crimes and did you ever find any, and, if so, what did you do to them? Destroy implies kill, but I highly doubt that. I just want you to know that attempting vigilante justice physically is the most ass-backwards thing you could do, because you'll just turn a perp into a victim in the court of law. Did you try and beat people up that were already convicted of rape? Just wondering.

Also

>Left the thing when some of them, wanted us to become soldiers/ followers for political figures etc. And have more "discipline" and "faith" and "loyalty".

The very definition of grunts for white collar political crime.

>I'm not 'assblasted'
>proceeds with an assblasted response
I wasn't trying to put you down, just get your idea of working hours straight.

Wow dude, that is some serious apathy you got going there. Law sounds just right for you in light of that. You will have to be productive if you don't want to starve though.

I know its easy for you to dismiss my points as saying I'm angry, but I'm not. They're valid questions and if you don't want to answer them that's cool that's your prerogative. Also I literally just described for you politely where I misrepresented the amount of work I do.

Lmao thanks bro, but apathy won't be that useful in the job market.

I don't think all those immigrants can afford to be too choosy. I envision a grand apathetic career of helping ESLs filing for VISA and H1Bs ahead of you. Go forth, prodigal son, use your power of apathy that is best suited for the bureaucratic law system, go forth and help those underrepresented minorities.

There was a wave of rapes in the area.
Once one of the girls got harassed one night and followed so we went out to beat him up but did not find him. Some did want to do.vigilante stuff, but not my."secht".

Your opinion about organized crime is quite common, but when you get out of that and realize how-differently people live, organized crime is one of the biggest progress suffocating factors in a society.

Why all the questions? Lawyer? Police?
Can I get my book recommendation?

Btw, I am not really defending my position.

>There was a wave of rapes in the area.

First, its 'sect' I think you're looking for. That just kind of bothered me. Second, I understand more now but that's still incredibly misguided. Better to gather evidence. If violence comes to you, there's no fault if you deal with it. If you bring violence to others, God help you, because if they're smart you'll need it. Good to know you were intelligent enough to not do something stupid.

>Your opinion about organized crime is quite common, but when you get out of that and realize how-differently people live, organized crime is one of the biggest progress suffocating factors in a society.

I said they were effective not that they helped society. They harm it.

>Why all the questions? Lawyer? Police?

Man no lol, that was funny though, I felt like "The Departed" just then "...are you a cop?" lmao. But still, yeah you can get your rec. I'm just trying to get to know your situation better so I can rec accurately.

Now that you've moved away from your gang affiliations, what are you striving for? I need to know if you're feeling apathetic or motivated, happy or sad, angry or calm. Recs are serious business lad.

In case you wanted to give me a rec, I've already read The Book of Disquiet

Are you memeing me?

I don't really have a rec for you. Maybe study some law texts on your specific field.

Just kidding lad. Try David Copperfield.

Give it a shot

>I said they were effective not that they helped society. They harm it.

They are only ok when they are literrally the only law, some of my friends left the bars reastaurants of the guy, went to a "night persons nightclub" to work and they actually got better working conditions and insurance.

>Now that you've moved away from your gang affiliations, what are you striving for?

I lived in peace for a couple of months now. I get emotionall swirls of all kinds of emotions, that is why I draw give advises of things I know to people and write, in order to channel them.
Working in the warehouse is kinda funny because life is good and peacefull and boring while everybody gets crazy for small things.
I think I will apply for a masters,even when I dont get accepted to get some direction. But I dont want to take a loan so I might gather money first.

I deffinetlly want to change my work, my other "ambitions" are mostly hobbie tbqh.
>Recs are serious business lad.

Any recommendations on the best subjects to get a basic understanding on? Also books with similar themes of self discovery?

I need to get better at grammar.

Nobody's gonna give a shit about your GPA and plenty won't even give a shit about what you specifically studied as long as you graduate. Experience and networks are always more important than GPA, it'll turn out fine. Read this: runnersworld.co.uk/training/six-week-beginner-5k-schedule

This thread has derailed to something awesome!

my rec is not to read a book. Next time you got not plans and some time to kill just be outside. Explore your town. Hang outside exploring long enough and eventually you'll end up talking to someone or finding some new shit to get into. If you were going to do nothing anyway you got nothing to lose.

this isn't awesome. this is sad.

Sad but not shit.
Nowdays it is like oxygen.

If I say stupid shit, I want other anons to attack me.
Next time, concentrate on full Veeky Forums.
Burn it away, dont think about other things you might have been doing with your time.
Apply this to the next thing you will do.

You just need to write all this down, thats what bukowski did.

I already have.

what job do you have?

>my parents make >200k/year: The Post

The only jobs my parents have ever had were janitorial related or working in factories (and my mom worked in an auto body shop for a bit). Neither got further in their education than a GED.

Grading standardized tests. Pearson and ETS are the two big employers for it.

You are me
