Do you like your life?

<p>Not exactly. I’ve just had a lot of bad things happen to me. Plus, I have horrible bad luck, so sometimes nothing feels worth it. I wish I could be happier.</p>

<p>Not really. Nobody likes me. Nobody likes how I look. My family compares me to my Stanford brother. My friends just hate me for no reason. I have bad luck. I wish I could be happier as well. I am just a depressed little girl.</p>

<p>^awww I hope you feel better in the morning :frowning: YOU GOT A 5.0 LAST SEMESTER. You are amazing. You are smart. You’re headed places in life. People who can’t see that are idiots. I can tell just from your posts and I’m a random Internet scrub.</p>

<p>Haha dang you stalked me upppp! Thanks :slight_smile: I was pretty hyped when I got a 5.0. I feel so much better alreadyyyy :P</p>

<p>I’m glad to hear that :slight_smile: The world is way too cruel sometimes.</p>

<p>Yeah. Great family, good health, top-notch education, pretty high self esteem. What else could I ask for?</p>

<p>I’m happy. I have a great passion, that I at least think I have some talent in (percussion). I have a good group of friends in school. I get to travel around the country each summer, worrying about nothing except my drumming. I’m doing well enough academically that I think I can get into my ideal school (CU-Boulder) and hopefully the music program as well.</p>

<p>Hahahah I love this question. I’m all over the place. Like this morning I was super happy because I hung out with my friends. But then I found out that my best friend (and only really close friend who gets me through everything) is moving over the summer and my ex-boyfriend has a thing with the school skank (this is a fact, not an opinion). But then I watched titanic and cried my eyes out and realized that my life could be a lot worse and I’ve truly been blessed. So based on today, I’d say yes. But it could be a different story tomorrow. YOLO</p>

<p>^yolooooooooo</p>

<p>fln1049 also wants to teach himself calculus with spivak this summer too. maybe you two can join up. things are always funner with other people.</p>

<p>you can be happy. i know it. but how? for one, junk food isn’t helping. who’s buying it?</p>

<p>I dont know anymore:/</p>

<p>Life is too complicated and unsure</p>

<p>Im getting okay grades, struggling in my only AP class (chem), and my friends are drifting</p>

<p>Or rather; im drifting from them</p>

<p>I cant wait till college
Just hope i get accepted into UCSC and start over</p>

<p>I’m too much of an overachiever.</p>

<p>I guess.
My friends that I was close to in middle school are all drifting away (mainly because I don’t have any classes with them and I only have lunch with them once a week). They keep telling me I am too smart for them and they feel inferior. I guess that is true. (My PSAT was around 40 points higher, and I am taking way more rigorous classes. My GPA is still only mediocre. Would be like a 3.9 on regular 4.0 scale (4= A,A+, 3.7=A-).)
I made new friends (not really close to them though). This whole situation will probably happen next year too.
I don’t really have any free time (when I have free time, I stay at home and watch movies). I’m not very social.
The only thing that I really have is my brain. I wouldn’t be anything if I weren’t as intelligent as I am.</p>

<p>But I still have a good family and a good education. That’s really all I need to keep me going.</p>

<p>lol I wish I was a hippie so I could just send love to all of you guys. There’s just so much more to life :-(</p>

<p>Nah…i can’t wait til college so I can finally like my life. every day i wake up feeling nauseous to go to school. i have a few friends but even those don’t really know the real me. instead of having a good convo, we always end up gossiping. i only see my parents half an hour a day because they’re always working. sometimes i like that(especially when i have to study for a really hard test), other times, i end up feeling lonely knowing i have no one to talk to :/</p>

<p>Sorta.</p>

<p>Initially, the only thing that really brought me to like life was success, primarily in academics. It felt good to be valedictorian, to have the highest SAT scores of anyone you know, and to be knowledgeable in subjects unfamiliar to most. However, I have recently realized how insignificant this success really was. It didn’t necessarily make me better or more intelligent than anyone else, it simply meant that I gave more of a **** about school than anyone else. Furthermore, because of my financial situation, I won’t be able to attend some top tier university, as I had greatly wanted to, without sinking myself in student debt. Moreover, relationship problems with friends, “friends” of the opposite sex, and family only exacerbated the situation. This has all happened within the last month or so, and I find myself just wanting to go to sleep the first chance I can, as I don’t want to think about my life and where it’s headed.</p>

<p>Despite how depressing I tried to make my life seem, I can’t ignore all the blessings in my life. I was born with multi-millionaire parents who want the best for me. I live in a large house. I have my own room. I can be whatever I want when I grow up. I was born with no physical or mental discrepancies. Compared to most of the world, I am extremely well off, so like I said, I sorta like my life.</p>

<p>Do your(apparetly multimillionaire) parents refuse to pay for college?</p>

<p>No, but I have 4 other siblings, and they are firm on spending $100k on each child’s higher education. I don’t want to finish my undergrad with ~$130k debt, so i’m trying to find the best mid-tier school with merit aid, which is rather frustrating, as most people here with such high stats can’t imagine graduating from anywhere but a top school.</p>

<p>I’m fairly happy with my life. It’s going to get a lot harder over the next two years, but I think I’m up for it. I feel like I’ll be a lot happier in college, though.</p>

<p>I’m going to have to agree with alwaysleah by saying neutral. I’ve been really stressed out recently, and until recently I was very depressed due to a family crisis. I’m just trying to get through the rest of this year, though I sometimes wonder why I think going to college will be some sort of panacea for my issues. I do feel like I’m lucky to have everything that I have, but that doesn’t make me feel any happier. I love what I do, I try my best to make a difference in my community, but I get very stressed out and tired, my family fights a lot, and I’m bad at interacting with people which limits how many real friends I have.</p>
