POST-SECONDARY-PLANNING STRESS DISORDER

A link/gif/swear-heavy post by your very beloved, Experienced Novice.
(It is now going to be my life's mission to make PSPSD recognized by every scientific association)

Let's begin.

What is this thing called the college process?

HWAT.

The pressure of somewhat preparing for the remaining 4/5 placed on someone who is approximately 1/5 into their life is a heavy one.

Imagine not being halfway up a mountain, having to predict what path you should take to get to the top AND determine what paths will be available to you, which ones you like, and which you will take on your way down.

Pardon my French, but... pretty fucking ridiculous, right.

I'm fully aware that a large portion of the stress and pressure of searching and getting your shit together comes from my failure to organize things ahead of time.

But this isn't even fully about me. My parents didn't go to post-secondary school here. They have no idea about post-secondary graduation blah di blah and English isn't even their first language (or their easiest). So all those parents' workshops?

I don't mean to offend anyones' political preferences here, but you get it.

Also:

because why not.

So it's pretty much up to me to learn all the shii...take mushrooms there is to know about enrollment, fees, GPA's, testing, calculations, kind of colleges, 2-year, 4-year, etc., etc.. (so vague, I know) and I actually have practically no clue about anything or what the difference is between college ABC and ACB and ABCU and UAB and WHAT

I mean, high school itself is tough, man. Like I had no idea. When I was younger, I always thought to myself:

"You know what? I want to be really super amazing (as if being not super amazing was a choice for me, pshhhh) and I'm going to start so many clubs and organizations and make friends everywhere and spread happiness and equality and end world hunger and have education for everyone and make the world safe and I don't even care if I don't get medals or prizes. Simply being recognized as a peacemaker or just the satisfaction that I changed the world would be nice and omg I just really love people and animals and plants and yay Earth c: " 

By Jove, was I ambitious.



Now, it seems like laziness has gotten the best of me and I'm just counting down the days until I get to leave this putrid place full of (mostly) fake relationships and fake grades.



I know what I'm worth. Testing seems to show that I'm pretty good, but it doesn't show everything that I'm worth. And if life at home sucks, it's not really going to be easy to prove that I'm good. Sometimes I have my own stuff to deal with.

I mean, yeah, most times I try to go without complaining about every single thing that bothers me because nobody wants to be friends with that kind of person. I really wish it were easy to just pause, say, I'm too stressed, and just back away from everything that causes me even more stress.

I STRESS EASILY OKAY IT IS A PROBLEM

I don't know what I want to be. I wanted to be a psychologist, but now I'm not so sure. I wanted to join the Air Force, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to pass the physical test (plus my dad doesn't want me to go. bleh.) I want to be a designer or a musician. But it seems like it's hard to find a good job in anything artsy that is steady.




I am so unsure of how to be a functional adult and I feel like adulthood is forcing its way in whether I want it to or not.

But hey, time stops for no one.

I just gotta figure out how to go.

Little Things that Make Me Happier

Hello people who are too busy for me :I

I'm going to list a few little things that made me happier recently:
• Discovering new music
• Discovering that someone likes my one of my favorite artists
• Waking up early without an alarm clock
• Dancing around in my underwear
• Finding forgotten hidden stashes of money
• When my phone battery lasts longer than I thought it would
• Knowing that someone out there reads this
• Finding good nail polish at cheap prices
• Pens with black ink that flows out perfectly and doesn't smudge

That's all for today I think.

Also, I'm bored .-.

;)

Spring Break and I don't know

what to do, what to do.

I don't know what to do with my break.

I mean other than crafting and going on the interwebs and stuffing my face at home.

I really want to go see that "Olympus Has Fallen" movie, even though I can probably predict what's going to happen in it.

I also want to go to the beach with friends but that's so cliché and I don't even like the beach that much and omg

Or I could go out to eat with someone.

I ain't got no money doeeee.

*rolls around obnoxiously*

I'm so cute and random!!!! lol xD xD Moo!! I liek cows and I love you! lol

This book is starting to get to me.

I read bits and pieces of it as I need them.

I bet you won't do as the book tells you.  You won't even do it because I told you.

...You're soft.

Greenthings

Happy "St. Guy Who Never Had Anything to do With Snakes/terrible attempt at recognizing Irish culture/ drink green beverages until you pass out or make terrible decisions" Day   :)

[insert pictures of green things]

because quotes are great

“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
-Franz Kafka

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
-J.R.R. Tolkien

Oh, Emerson...
Who should I be when I am disgusted by myself?

So my last post isn't related to this (or at least it wasn't intended to)
but I felt like I should have kept you updated.

That's about it.

Get on this now: learning a new language

Hello, attractive followers ;)

Contrary to popular belief, I don't spend ALL my time on the Internet looking at cats or well-dressed people. Sometimes I discover.

And in the process of surfing, I discovered this.



This is an ad for Duolingo, a super cool site that offers you the tools to learn a new language.
As of now, they only have French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portugese (still in Beta) and English as a  foreign language.

Everything is free. And I seriously do mean free. They make their point made when they say free.

I mean, seriously, FREE!?!? Hello? Aren't the hairs on the nape of your neck tingling in excitement, you cheapskate?

Sign up with email or Facebook and get started immediately so you can make yourself smarter and more attractive (but more importantly smarter) and conquer the plane- I mean impress that cute foreign person that never even looks your way.

Or you can just become the Pope.

new blog look coming soon

I want to change the look of my blog again and I'm not sure what color scheme to go with haha I don't think it's a big deal to you (so why am I dedicating an entire blog post to it again?) asides from the fact that will be a refreshing/annoying change

So yeah there's that

Okay thank you for having so much patience with me and my indecisiveness :)

Totally not catchy nor slightly annoying

you know you've watched this more than once.
