Nephite Warrior Jigoku_Angel I'm 20 years old, at my THIRD year of community college instead of my first year at university (not enough credits to transfer yet), live at home, don't know how to drive, work at wal-mart, and have never been on a date. ... does this equal pathetic? I can't help but feel that it does... sweatdrop Hmmm, I think that's nothing close to 'pathetic'....unlike me. I'm 20, almost 21. Dropped out of High School, never done community college, have no job, and have never been on a date *cries* CURSE YOU AQUA SCUMMMMM! *cries* You can come work for the company I work at... for 14.91 an hour to start. But you probably wouldn't like it razz

I work Part - Time (cause I go to school full time) at a company called "Hycal Energy Research Laboratories Ltd."
It's really one of the worst jobs in the world sweatdrop It was my first job and I was doing it because it paid a heck of a lot better than others. When you start off, you are using carcinogenic solvents (at a fumehood) to clean oil off of scientific equipment so that it can be used again. You hacksaw expensive fittings off of stainless steel lines, and clean cylinders used in tests. Some of these require you working with mercury, or even H2S - Sour Gas (Which can kill you quite easily, if you aren't careful). There's a heck of a lot more, but I won't go there sweatdrop

When I was 23, I was nowhere near getting my license, or my degree after almost four years of college, I almost never dated, no prospects, I was living off my dad, living in a dorm and a ward full of teenage girls (several of them engaged), and my younger sister had been married for a year already. Then all the sudden I took off a semester of school to work for Disney World ( WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT), my mother had brain surgery, and I had all my appointments done and papers filled out to go on a mission. And then? I met my husband, got my associates degree, he got his first job, we got married and had a Bina, -and all two paragraphs came in maybe close to two years. -And I still can't drive. lol Life comes at you fast. Don't feel like you're behind when so much can happen in so short a time frame. It's all about the Higher ways and Thoughts, right? I hope that helps. heart

Don't feel like you're behind when so much can happen in so short a time frame. It's all about the Higher ways and Thoughts, right? I hope that helps. heart wow, i was wondering about that disney thing. My mom totaly thought that I should give it a try. "you could repair the costumes!" she said. soooooooo glad I never even so much as picked up a flier. yeah, i know that i have to be patiant and hang in there and stuff. all of my unachevments are my own doing: I'm a afraid of breaking the car and they're so expensive, I'm a real cheapskate and hoarde money like its the last bits of chocolate in the world, and I am an extremely shy and introverted person. I was actually asked out at an anime convention this summer and even after I told the guy that i lived on the other side of the country, he still wanted to try and work something out. I couldn't stop blushing and saying no. See? I could have at least tried to internet date... though I have no clue how that would work at all... but I was too embaressed to accept. Its not that I'm pathetic so much as I'm afraid of doing things wrong.

I plan to live with my parents until they're on thier deathbeds.
And my mom didn't learn how to drive until she was your age.
Dating (for romance) is overrated
Unless it's dating for fun.
Dating for fun (which I don't consider a date) is... well, fun.
And Wal-Mart is an awesome place to work!
Oh, and, life goes by too fast.
Take it slow.
You'll eventually make your place in the world, just not yet.

Listen, just be happy for what you have... You could be doing so much worse. Like you mentioned earlier about the good traits you have. You have a job, think of it if you didn't have any income at all. Your in school, which is good also.
I'll tell you what pathetic is. I was playing in a football game and our stupid team mates couldn't stop dropping "f-bombs" so we got a 60 yard penalty. We lost the game, because some rednecks couldn't shut up. I understand how you feel down but stand strong and pray, God will always answer prayers.

I can't help but feel that it does... sweatdrop I think we all judge ourselves according to an imaginary "worldly" time-line and in that timeline are a lot of people that were only good in one or two areas, but, added up, can be intimadating.(SP) If your personal life is in order you should consider yourself very successful, indeed, considering the world is more and more like Sodom and Gomorah! An eternal view of being a god/goddess in embryo should never be forgotten! You, yourself, are very important and God loves you just the way you are - He knows what is in your heart and life, but also your potential as a child of His! Dont be so down on yourself. (Easier said than done, though, isn't it?)

I'm not old enough to compare myself to you guys, I'm still in middle school. As far as I'm concerned, you guys could probably keep working and end up really good in life. Some people start late, but they get it. I know you guys can! Cheer up and be happy! (And never let me be sad, it makes me have a high temper) oh ya and mushrooms!

*is reminded of Mulan, when the father speaks of the flower that is late to bloom is frequently more beautiful than all the rest... yeah.*
