Back again with these threads! For all the new folks, this is a safe space to tell us about anything cool you have going on, anything you want to vent about, and everything in between.
Remember, you are loved
Things have been up and down for me. In a glum mood today. Been hanging out with someone new, and that's been nice, I'm just not sure if I really want to keep it up. Home life is....fine, I guess. Still living with my ex, they're gonna give things until the end of the year to see if their career picks up any, and if not, they'll move home. That said, they've been talking about that for years, so I'll believe it when I see it. They broke down and finally yelled at me for the first time a few nights ago, so I silently carved a pumpkin and then just stayed over with the person I've been seeing. As nice as the couch I live on is, it was nice to sleep in a bed for a night or two this past week.
Job front is slow moving, but I had a promising interview last Wednesday. Was supposed to hear back Thurday afternoon or Friday, but even with a followup email I sent, no reply. Fingers crossed I guess.
I deleted a few of my dating apps, still have a small amount installed. A Maoist actually hollered at me this morning and wants to take me to an arcade. Not sure I have the energy though. Other people are asking me for dates, but I'm just...not replying. I should go do that now so I don't leave them hanging.
On a brighter note, 9 day tour coming up in 2 weeks, so that's cool! Without giving away too much (y'all know my band anyways and have seen my face), I'll be going around the midwest. We've been doing well on selling merch the past few months, so that money should be sufficient to cover the tour. Also, we'll have a roadie for the first time!
I'll end it here I guess. Hope all my comrades are well, and I love you!
I'm like completely broke for an indefinite amount of time. Like I have three euros, a bag of rice and some vegetables to my name. My parents were supporting me but my dad doesn't want to send me money anymore. I think I have enough cash to keep me afloat for a bit but after that I don't know what I'm going to do. So yeah I'm not feeling good about that
Also finding it really hard to make friends in college. I'm in my third year and have barely anyone I talk to regularly. Sometimes I meet cool people at events and societies and then never see them again. Feeling pretty lonely and if not for my roommates I don't think I would talk to anyone
c/mutual-aid is there for you if you're ever inclined! This place has helped me out plenty in the past. Good luck!
Not sure where you are, but is there anything off campus/not affilliated with it that you could get involved in? Maybe meet some townies?
I know it's going to be awkward, but ask for their cell phone number, or any other form of contact details, the next time this situation happens. Maybe you can stay in contact with some of them.
