How what? I'm not the type of guy to just bang people i meet. My first girlfriend was when i was 19 and I met her at church. 2nd was 23, we met at school, both Christians. I'll remind you that 5 years ago tinder didn't exist. Not that it would've helped, but you had to be social to get pussy back then. And I don't like most people in general.

why is life so fleeting bros?

12 year old me thought I would be out of Jow Forums by now and I would move to Japan for real life animes. Job wise maybe college football/NFL dline or maybe some sort of Roman dude.

Maybe had a chance to go college football, as I did start my last 3 years in high school, but did not try very hard due to natural size/speed (skip morning workouts, team lifting, and summer workouts) and never even attempted to meet with team coaches to talk about college football. Really just stayed in it for something to do. Instead I am getting ready to apply for some PhD in EE programs and probably wont apply to any in Japan because I never even learned Japanese or any language for that matter so I have to slog through it in the US and if I ever wanted to go to Japan then apply to jobs afterwards.

It literally means you have to hold out for one more year. You've got another year to work your shit out and become "mature" enough for the academy, plus you can focus on putting in time at your shite job to hopefully improve your finances.
Dont stress it too much, okay?

PhD is paid for and free tuition so even if I decide to drop out after I get a MS from it, I would have paid $0 vs possibly $50k-$140k for just a MS program. PhD technically has a better lifetime earnings than MS or BS and the jobs im looking at need at least or prefer a MS

always wanted to do something like that

>Blow $2000 a month on shit I don't need and fast food, have all the stuff I always wanted
>Not using that towards tuition for any form of post-secondary education
Nani the fuck are you doing with your life man, i think what you're missing is any sense of moving forward or accomplishment.

I wanted to be an astronaut or a paleontologist. Now I'm a businessman. I find my work incredibly rewarding in a sort of self serving kind of way but I often resent being the boss and wish I could give myself to a higher purpose (not religion).

I've been toying with the idea of opening a not for profit warehouse gym with like free seminars by big names and a bookcase full of all the essential texts etc, and plenty equipment like powerlifting shit, strongman shit, gymnastics stuff etc. Maybe it wouldn't be free but it would be extraordinarily cheap.

I'd like it to be a kind of lifting haven where guys could come for the sense of community and training atmosphere like Westside or something. Could be really cool. Open 24h of course.

What do you guys think? Would you go to this gym?

It really do be like that

Hang in there bud

I know, it's just so many resources and sacrifices have been made in raising me, my dad would always enroll me in schools an hour out of our ghetto so I wouldn't go to a shit elementary school, he basically forced my mom not to work so she could be home to raise me, I was given a car and 2 years of college expenses paid for when I turned 18, and I FUCKING SQUANDERED IT. This is the easiest I'll EVER have it in my life, maybe I can start over, but thus far I have pretty much thrown away all the meaningfull opportunities and help I've been blessed to have. My parents don't know how badly I've been doing in school, Japanese tier shame

>I thought I'd have some kind of job by now, out of college and all. I didn't know what I wanted to be then, but maybe something with computers
>Now, I'm still in college with 3 more years left for a bachelor's because my parents forced me to go into college with something I didn't want to do and finally convinced them to let me switch majors just last year. I don't have any jobs or skills, nor do I have any success with women, completely shattering my dreams of living the college life with friends and banging girls. I commute everyday in soul crushing traffic, where I remember that everyone is going ahead of me, and that all my friends are leaving me far behind. It's safe to say that I'm nothing but a hollow shell of myself, walking in a husk, treading the days hoping for something to put me out of my existence.

That one decision didn't change you in the grand scheme of things and life changes in a heartbeat sometimes. Just give it your best, which is hard depending on your situation.

Also if you're "feeling your age" at 20 you got serious physical problems to fix. You should feel your age (to a moderate to high degree) at 40-50 maybe not even then.
