Not picky , just don ' t want Sinai for the 3 rd time in a row . Server browser 6264 players on X map . Sounds good . Click . 6464 Position in queue . Back out . 6164 ? Okay . 6464 players . Position in queue . Just quick match me into a round , any round just not Sinai . <| sep |> sent you pm <| sep |> On the all blacks should be deported ? <| sep |> No wonder CNN is losing popularity . Even die hard fans probably find this over dramatic . Other than short snippets like this , i haven ' t watched CNN for years . <| sep |> Did you buy the $ 5000 gaming chair with it ? If not ffs OP <| sep |> Hey , so is my wife ! <| sep |> night oncheese and rice , how do you miss these opportunities ? <| sep |> Things I would specifically tell myself btw pardon my French 1 . Apply for summer jobs doing some sort of outdoor recreation , like working as a camp counselor or rafting guide for the summer . A lot of scienceengineering and other professional internships don ' t really want to deal with college freshmen , and the opportunities to do fun outdoor stuff get harder to pursue as time goes on and you need more money and your body recovers more slowly . Waiting till the last minute to find a summer job and then going home to my parents ' overcluttered place and working at Walmart for the summer after a year in college kinda sucked . 2 . Go find a good mental health counselor . Social anxiety and depression are in your way from making the most of life and learning how to have romantic relationships . It ' s ok to be an introvert but you need to let go of perfectionism in human relationships . I wasn ' t generally happy in life till I learned how to do this around age 23 . Also , it ' s never to late to learn to manage stress and worry . Stoic philosophy helps . 3 . You ' re exercising a lot and on a sports team , great ! But if you don ' t watch your diet and moderate your food intake a bit you ' ll never get to be as lean as you would like to be . Lessno sugar , less caffeine , when you have carbs try to have them mostly after exercise eat more vegetables , get some protein daily . 4 . Your college roommates are assholes . Go make other friends outside of your sports team and ditch the roommates before they tell you to scram in sophomore year . 5 . Your parents at least in my case are narcissistic assholes too . You don ' t need their approval to be your own person . You can love them and listen to their advice but you don ' t have to do everything they say . Likewise , do your best not to be an asshole to other people , but don ' t beat yourself up too much if you mess up . Just do your best to try to right any wrongs that you realize you might do . 6 . Gaybisexual people have all kinds of personalities and are not all effeminate , even though in the 1990 s when I was age 18 the more effeminate ones were the most visible . Go connect with the the LGBT clubs at college . It ' s not that scary , despite the social anxiety . 7 . Talk to that marine recruiter who kept calling , who you never called back . And talk to an air force recruiter , since the air force has a lot of jobs where advanced degrees in engineering are welcomed . The job market never really turned out to be all that great since I left college and I could have really benefited in my 20 s from the stability and feeling of being part of a bigger organization that comes with a military officer career . When I was 18 I was very anti establishment but over time I ' ve come to realize that there are good people and interesting opportunities throughout all types of organizations . On the other hand , when I was younger I automatically discounted military careers because DADT was in effect and gay dating put a military career at risk , even if you tried to abide by the don ' t tell part of that . So maybe I made the best decisions I did for the time that we were in , but maybe other decisions would make more sense now . The other tricky thing about considering military careers in the US is whether you trust the broader society to guide the actions of the President , whether or not you like who is the President . 8 . Before you have any gay sex and by the way don ' t worry about rushing to have any sex , do it when the time is right and you find someone you like spending time with , make sure to be a blood and bone marrow donor , and think about whether you would ever want to be an anonymous sperm donor , and follow through on that as early as you can if possible . Being a sperm donor is awkward to discuss but really is appreciated by the people who need it . Likewise goes for women who are egg donors . In the US men who have sex with men are banned from tissue donation , although this has been relaxed recently to require abstinence for a year , if I recall correctly . When I finally decided to be a sperm donor , I found out about this rule , and then a year later I was infertile anyways due to cancer which sucked but I survived . TLDR Don ' t be a perfectionist , get rid of your social anxiety ASAP , try to make the most of the opportunities that you didn ' t know you had .
