Why even keep going?

[Murk]

I dropped out of uni, felt my world was crashing, then my friend died while drink driving shortly after. Then my mum died of cancer leaving me all alone in this world. 8 years later from uni I earn more than my peers that completed. I love my job and life. It's never the end, sometimes a bit of hardship is needed for character building. Life isn't all roses and unicorns. If you fail/get kicked out it's because of decisions you made.

The sooner people realise the true nature of consequence and accountability the better. Might even be the making of you boy. Chin up.

Correct. But what you won't be earning a $250,000 salary while doing that. It's just a fact of markets.

Absolutely, but I'll take that trade off and be just fine.

Maybe this isn’t exactly the right place for this, but I don’t even know anymore. I really value you guys opinions and maybe you all can give me some insight.

I failed another test today that I studied hours for. While I’m sure I can become a Master Don Juan given enough time and effort, I don’t know about school. My career might be ruined. I could be thrown out of school, and idk how I’ll get a job with my shyt GPA.

I could turn it around and graduate yes, but what’s the point of living in a world where I have a shytty Comp Sci GPA and cant make a job? I might not be able to recover it. To make matters worse, everyone else is so happy effortlessly and I have to work so hard and change everything about myself to have a chance of getting girls or being happy. Literally nothing in this world excites me anymore. But if I quit life, I’ll never live up to my full potential, whatever that is.

What’s the point in going on? I’m so miserable, and I’m honestly considering therapy. Maybe this is why I can’t make grades?

Opinions would be great. Mods, if this post is too dark or in the wrong section, feel free to remove it.

In my college days, I too was at one point deeming grades, GPA, etc as being the utmost importance. IRL its good but, it serves no purpose in the business world.

Binge through dome Jordan Peterson vids.

There's one where he depicts "scaffold" your ambitions. As in, your dream is being a surgeon but you fail med school. Pivot into healthcare, physiology. Maybe health administration, nursing, pharmacy, etc. Any of the above gets you in the vicinity of the initial goal but, more important, it stops you from blowing your brains out in a depression manic low.

The trick, similar to game, and DJ life, you pull or you next. You pivot. You live and learn.

Wow, props for trying to keep a good GPA. Funny, last week on an aplicacion, it asked what my GPA was. Anyway, listen we all fail. So if you flunk the semester so be it, just drop the course if you can.

Stop thinking about being rich lol. The idea is to get a good job at a fortune 500 company with benifits. 45k, then 60k, then 150k all based on the job titles. I am glad you posted this, you are doing great. If you flunk, take the semester or course again.

Go have fun, clear your head. When i say read the books, i mean understand them. Finally, stop stressing, instead go research where you wanna do your intership once you graduate! These are the best times man!!@

I flunked an important design course on my final semester... GPA went from 4.0 to 3.5 lol, because I was so cought up in the PUA when it started, i dont regret it at all lmao. Read the game by Neil s, thats how it all started ... best of luck buddy. Cheers!

Pickup obsession is lame but many guys are brutal. Madison followed red around nearly a decade. If this guy never got on he would be at Starbucks pouring coffee or cleaning toilets.

Women are of secondary importance. Similar to a car, they depreciate immediately once off the lot. Bulking season kicks off, they burn cash, build nests,and want to play house 99% as SMV plummets.

Guys should go get baeeees but compartmentalize time, and priorities.

I’m a really good musician. But how am I gonna be rich if I major in that?

Yes I know, but the Don Juan opinion has never steered me wrong. So I thought I may as well post up here

Most guys here brag about pulling women 30 #gross or single moms #disgusting. Learn but think for yourself.

Oh for sure think by for yourself, this is an anonymous forum with liars and weirdos and God knows who else posting (granted many legit decent posters too). People are very quick to judge and bring you down, IRL but even moreso online. I post very openly here and take advice with a pinch of salt. I always consult friends, family and work colleagues on this I post here. You will be amazed and the stark difference in opinion.

People IRL know you, love and care for you, we don't, it's just text on a screen, please bear this in mind.

Oh yeah for sure. Although I do still think there’s good stuff to be learned here. It’s just limited due to the anonymous nature and the internet. Although things like The Book of Pook and The Rational Male are awesome

in response to the statement about how everyone you know is effortlessly happy

a Buddhist monk once said, "they are all expert bull****ters, too"

that last line rendered this to be great (even legendary?) advice: "this might even be the making of you boy. chin up." this is similar to when your grandfather/father told wrestling with a car engine puts hair on your chest. not materially speaking but clearly it forces your body to man up because of the constant mental hangups + wounds(pain) that you will endure in the process. double post failure. *dunce cap*
