Fuck recruiters and their obsession with extra curricular activities. I shouldn't have to be quartermaster general of some damn university organization in order to get considered for a good internship. A 3.87 GPA counts for something these days doesn't it? And sorry if my experience section of the resume is waiting tables and other menial jobs considering all the hoops you have to jump through if you want an internship for your sophomore year.
Even if I get selected as an alternate, I'm still going to have that plan B designation attached to me.

Welcome to the crazy academics system.

That really sucks, Catamari. :(
I'm just glad you didn't get seriously hurt.

Apparently this was a mistake.
You could practically hear a switch click in this guy's brain. His face went blank, his voice and body language turned hostile, and he said, "If you want my help, you will not speak to me like that."
Teachers just don't do that at any school I've been to since I moved to the Midwest. I had one teacher in my entire time I've lived here (what is it now, 15 years?) be anything remotely like that, and he was just a sub, and his attitude was met at best with snickers from what were already very well-behaved students.
Adding this to my catalog of "There are really people like that? And other people let them be that way for long enough for them to grow to full adulthood and get professional jobs and still be that way?" stories I'll continue to deny the reality of until I actually meet one.

Ouch. I had one teacher like that, in high school. He didn't take shit from anybody. Fortunately, he was usually very easy-going and knew how to teach. He taught me German for 4 years. Most of my other teachers were complete pushovers.Monk Ed wrote:Teachers just don't do that at any school I've been to since I moved to the Midwest.

He is a good teacher in the classroom, and the incident in itself has been resolved. He was having a really shitty week-- apparently, he was covering all the classes for the other Econ teacher, which meant that he had a metric fuckton of classes approaching their first test (and just didn't have the time for me that day.) I guess he tried to be polite and help, but it turned sour since he really just couldn't do it.

Good fuck, it's been a frustrating day. A lot of normally little shit has piled up into a monstrosity of rage inducing nastiness. Homework frustrations and body pain being chief among them.

Yeesh. Is the pain from where you got hit by the golf caddy (or whatever it was)? You might want to se a doctor about that.

The opposite of a dick is not a pushover. The snickering in the case of this substitute was completely deserved. The guy clearly didn't know how much of a clown he was -- lecturing us about respect like something out of a kids' show. I don't even remember what prompted it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was no more than the lack of the students worshiping at his feet. At that high school, every other teacher besides this sub was perfectly down-to-earth. Actually, really nobody ever misbehaved at my high school, in any class I ever attended at least. We were treated as adults, and rose to the challenge.

I did. No broken bones. I should be feeling okay in a few more days (I hope). If it keeps up, I'll go back.

College is all up in the air, again.
The truth is I don't want to be in education- I hate education, always have, always will. But apparently I have to either be in education or employment, otherwise I can't stay at home. And I don't particularly want a job either- and even if I did I wouldn't be able to get one. Really I just want to be a NEET/Hikkimori and spend the rest of my life locked away in my part of the house, connected to the internet and doing nothing else. People tell me "You have to do something with your life" when the truth is I don't want to live, I just want to exist. Life is too much hard work. I honestly have lost the will to live, I just don't have the willpower to feel actively suicidal either. I just...am.
I don't want to change my outlook on life. I don't want to succeed. I just want to be left the fuck alone and not have to do anything. I'm sick of people expecting anything out of me. I don't expect anything out of me, after all, so why should anyone else? I know I'm a failure, and that I'll never amount to anything, but I'm fucking sick of people telling me I have to amount to something. No, fuck you, if I want to fail then that's exactly what I'll do, and if there is anything I can contribute to society (which there isn't) then you wankers sure as hell don't fucking deserve it. I wish I'd been born with some horrible disease that meant I couldn't possibly live a normal life or do anything, as opposed to just being stuck with high functioning autism and a bad attitude.
Honestly the only thing I can look forward to at the moment is the day Ebola wipes out humanity so I don't have to do anything anymore.

Comfortable living comes at a price, though. Of course they'll expect you to do something if they're paying your way - the internet and all the food to sustain you isn't free. I found it easiest to pay for half of the internet we use (even though there are more than two people using it) and a percentage of the water/electricity bills, whilst essentially living on toast and cereal; with a chocolate bar, very infrequently. Even if you want a basic, mediocre existence, you still have to pay for it.
Yes, college is a wasted effort.

One day I'll tell you the full story of my life and how I ended up such a maladjusted sociopath, but for now all you need to know is that my time in education fucking sucked and as such I have an undying hatred for all forms of education, college included. Also I lack the ability to commit to anything, I'm far too fucking stupid to get anything done, I despise any and all authority figures and I'm generally an unpleasant, incompetent, vicious arsehole. Quite frankly I'm just hoping my dad and his entire fucked-up family die in some bizarre accident, thus netting me and my mum both dad's life insurance and a huge inheritance.
Some people are born great, some achieve greatness, some have greatness forced upon them, and some people (like me) never reach anything even remotely resembling greatness. I just cannot be arsed.

If you don't want to do anything, don't. Just let the food and electricity run out and sit there and rot. But if you wanna be a hikki you need food and internet, and those aren't free. Why should anyone else pay the bills for you?
For you, perhaps. For some of us it was a rewarding experience and one of the highlights of our lives. As with most resources its utility depends on how it's used.

You cannot change the past, but can make the hands of the clock move forward to your desired outcome.
All I sense is "I've seen nothing change, and therefore nothing in the future will change." attitude.
From the past 18 years of my life, my family has struggled economically and we've always to had to hop from one household to another that wasn't ours and therefore was a burden to those family members that were kind enough to let my family and I have a roof over our heads. Wasn't until THIS year that we finally were able to get our own house (although the money was aided by other family members, which I'm extremely grateful for). A house where we can do our own things, not be a burden, etc is something I never imagined was possible, but hey, it eventually happened 19 years later!
I say that to say this; no matter how shitty your circumstance is, things will change. It may not come instantly, it may not come 5 years from now, it may take 20+ years, but surely it will happen. This is also what Evangelion has taught me.

Quit feeling sorry for yourself man, crying like a bitch will get you nowhere.
Your negative attitude isn't going to help, and neither is posting about how sad you are on an anime forum. You should talk to a family member, and from there decide whether or not you'd like professional help.
You should find a hobby. I know you like WH, and from what you've shown me, you can't paint quite well, you should stick with that. Meeting some people would help too. I know everyone seems like a bunch of insufferable faggots, but there are some cool people out there that share common interests with you.
