The WTF are u doing with your life thread

[Pogi]

Changed companies to work for a conglomerate and now am in the career path I want to be in. If I continue to be where I'm in, in 1-2 years, I should finally hit the 6 figure mark.

This and juggling a new girlfriend, saving for an apartment (1 bedders aren't worth the purchase) and poor health.

Damn I'm getting old...

i stumbled into this thread. it is depressing and beautiful. only conclusive thing i can discern is that there is too much work, and not enough easy life

[ericdw]

can i get an update homi? WTF are you doing with your life?

[sistersuzie]

just quit my job. i actually ask to get fired to have employment insurrance. I know it's gonna be good money. Almost as much as I was earning, but ill have time to fix my personnal issues

im doing all kind of stuff. when people call me an artist, it makes me feel weird, i don't know if I'm one. I wish I could do so many things. I'd like to be an acress, have a band, paint, makes clothes. but heyyyyyyyy

i should marry someone rich and I would just do things without even thinking about money. but I love my bf too much . ahhhh life

[jeepster]

i have no idea

im at a college devoid of culture

where i feel like im not a person but rather an object

where my education seems to come second to actual work assigned

and i'm saying wtf, while everyone is saying "go with the flow"

i feel like a total black sheep

i wander around the campus

and people ask my why i didn't call or text or let them know what i was doing

because i feel no connection to anyone here, however they seem to feel a connection to me

so i dunno

this place is nice

but i don't know if i could do 4 years.

4th week of school. its in the back of my mind, but i'm gonna hold out for the year and see how i've faired.

get back to me then.

[sidneylo]

I just completed my undergraduate in photography, and I'm depressed that everyone else I know is back in school except for me.

I'm working on various projects that all pan out on the long-term side, so there are no short term benefits (money or otherwise). I do side jobs for friends on rare occasions and my student loan debt is coming after me in under six months.

Oh yeah, I'm playing Call of Duty 4 in my underwear, drinking root beer, and downloading music. Sometimes I get out of the house to get coffee…otherwise I just sleep.

College is where society places all people who are not quite adults but no longer kids…for anywhere from four to eight years.

You'll be fine, just don't cut yourself and you'll be okay.

[sistersuzie]

^^ im not back to school finally

come back and we'll smoke

lulz. i aint a cuter mang

suzie, wisdom teeth permitting, I'm shooting for march in MTL

[sidneylo]

I don't have employment insurance…I might have to learn how to knit and flip on supermarket or something.

I officially moved out of New York as of May 2008. I'm based out of San Francisco now, but pending said long-term projects and current developments, I might make a break back to the East. That being said, having a short term gameplan can make NYC a pretty lonely place to be at. I'm sort of hibernating at home for now.

Messing around with my life during the vacation and hopefully I'd still do good by the time next semester hits

ill give you classes and if you're good, I'll put a star in your notebook

[kunk75]

trying to grow my business. grew 33% between year 1 and year 2. 75% between yrs 2 and 3 so far. still trying to define ourselves and stick to our core competencies.

on the personal front, i start coaching basketball for my son next month.

[jeepster]

first thing you teach him is the v-cut and ball fake. He will dominate all other elementary school children.

[kunk75]

yeah, we been doing all that shit. give and go. he's really good. not to sound racist in any way but he's the only white boy who can keep up and outrun all the kids on his very competitive team. he pitches too, but i'm kinda hoping he sticks with bball.

[maxlin]

a good jumpshot will go a long way..

[kunk75]

yeah, he and i have been throwing up 150-250 shots a day since he's 3.

[salaryman]

I like where your head's at Kunk.

Turning kids into investments.

Cultivate an interest in a sport at an early age and 20 years later little Tiger Woods is funding your retirement in the Hamptons.

[kunk75]

^yup. on days between ll starts, i don't even let him feed himself with his pitching arm.

[JayDC7]

'07 grad, working at my boring engineering job in DC since then, but its getting pretty miserable.

taking the gre pretty soon and need to figure out if i'm going back to school, or finding a job. if i go the job route, i need to get figure out if i'm going back to ny (where i grew up) or heading to sf.

[LiberationFrequency]

Well... My plans for the future reach into the next 3 1/2 - 4 years. I'm about to begin an undergraduate law degree course at a decent university. I'm a white boy who spent the majority of his childhood in Singapore, I learnt mandarin there and continued learning when I moved to the UK about 4 years ago.

I'll either be taking classes or self-learning the language during university and will move to China after my course to teach English. Will probably stay there for 6 months to a year. Hopefully becoming as fluent as possible, depending on how lazy I am.

After this I have no clue. I guess i'm relying on the unfolding of China's economy, my fluency in the language and my law degree to carry me somewhere.

I'm feeling very content at the moment as I just got out of a strenuous relationship and have a lot to look forward to.

[salaryman]

^yup. on days between ll starts, i don't even let him feed himself with his pitching arm.

Food?

Give Jr. a powerbar and a racket and tell him to get back in the game.

If baseball and basketball fall through, Papa stills needs jawns.

[kunk75]

being the sports equivalent of a stage dad would be nice, but i mostly do the coaching to overcompensate for the fact that i had no dad around.

[salaryman]

Thats alright, you can still be Dad of the Year and make a solid investment at the same time.

You know how your old man never took you to the park to play catch like in the movies?

Well, now you can take Jr. Every. Single. Day. for. Six. Hour. "Bonding" Sessions.

Just make sure you withold your love every time he drops the ball, otherwise you won't ever see real progress.
