<p>Sometimes, like right now, on a day when I don't have anything <em>urgent</em> which I need to worry about, I realize that life and my future are going to suck whatever I decide to do.</p>
<p>Free time to do things I enjoy= Not enough money
Money = No free time or sleep and work becomes my life...</p>
<p>At college, it sounds like there will be endless studying... If I go into investment banking, then there will be endless working...</p>
<p>
How much money is “enough” money?</p>
<p>You know, Saugus, you should go for a mile-long run. Try not to stop. Exercise releases endorphins that will lift your entire mood and beautify your perspectives on everything in general. And eat some frozen blueberries. Those things=heaven.</p>
<p>Although to try to be actually helpful, you could also make lots of money doing stuff you enjoy. 
Eh, eh?</p>
<p>Yet another Saugus pity party thread</p>
<p>^also, should be much more than a mile.</p>

<p>Ehh. Your life could be 5 times worse.</p>
<p>You know what Saugus,</p>
<p>I felt the same way in high school.</p>
<p>Couple that with the fact I lived in the middle of freakin no where with low-lifes, no places to hang out, and having to use lots of money for gas to go to meaningful places. . .and you do start to feel EXTREMELY frustrated. . .</p>
<p>I think your problem has more to do with neurological imbalances than anything else. The terrible future you describe is the same one many people face - and yet somehow manage to live well with. So I don’t think the future is the problem, I think it’s your conceptions of the future, which is being influenced by how you are feeling now. And my would be that you are not having a particularly fun and exiting and happy time at present.</p>
<p>But I understand what you are thinking. Maybe the future isn’t as limited as you think though. What are they things you enjoy? maybe also there are other things that you would enjoy greatly, which wouldn’t cost money?</p>
<p>Who isn’t when they are in high school enfield? seriously. . .</p>
<p>hm i don’t know. but people are coping. they aren’t all making threads like this one.</p>
<p>Write, write poetry, rap, make music. Do something to get your mind off the displeasures you have.</p>
<p>Yes. . .but we silently wallow at times.</p>
<p>I don’t really know how others cope with life. But I think some people manage better than others. And what I mean by that is some people feel less sadness and less loneliness. Really, I am quite confused about how others “feel” living there life. I only know how I feel in my life, or at least I think i do, and for me it’s quite a confusing thing to explain.</p>
<p>I don’t think we should ever silently wallow too much. That sounds awfully sad. But I don’t know - some silent wallowing might give perspective and be helpful overall. But I think no one should feel despair, be at a complete loss of how to deal with life, and so on.</p>
<p>I’m miserable right now, and it seems like it’s only going to get tougher from here on out… </p>
<p>With grade deflation in college… Then having to work 90 hours a week in investment banking if I even get in…</p>
<p>It seems like there’s just so much stress involved and I don’t know how adults cope.</p>
<p>Shut the hell up</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>win response. hah</p>
