Sounds pretty adverage too me.

*average.

I think just about everyone feels this way during first college years, unless they're drunk/stupid/extremely smart. I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day these days to get what I want done done. I have no time for video games anymore.

Re: Do you ever get the feeling that your missing out?

You can either party and get bad grades, or work your ass off and get good grades. There really isn't much room for anything else concerning college. So, you can live it up now and ruin the rest of your life, or you can lay a good basis for a secure future. I have chosen the latter. It is a more magoo lifestyle, and I get harassed about it all the time by idiots, but I'd rather be able to support a family someday.

I rarely have time for what I used to do, which includes posting here. I got to play a video game last night. That felt pretty good. It didn't last, though: I've got a Word document open for our final project in my I/O Psych class right now.

For what it's worth, I didn't have sex till I was 23.

But you in the closet.

Re: Do you ever get the feeling that your missing out?

I managed to balance my partying and studying and never really had a problem. I think as long as you work hard, you can do whatever you want with the rest of your time. I always went to class and took notes, and always did my artistic projects and other outside work, but I still managed to get wasted and have fun too. I guess it depends on your workload that semester.

Re: Do you ever get the feeling that your missing out?

*you're*

And I felt like college was draining me of my desire to live. Not just keeping me from doing things I wanted to do, but killing my ability to function as a human, sucking away all that I felt were more important things. So I dropped. It's not the smartest idea, but I'll be damned if I'm not happier now than I've been since I moved back to Oklahoma.

Re: Do you ever get the feeling that your missing out?

I also have that feeling, Rick, but I have to keep at it. I promised myself and others that I would.

**Big Rick Cook** · 03-09-2005, 02:06 PM

Re: Do you ever get the feeling that your missing out?

Yeah, I never made that promise, so I'm solid.

Damn me and my inflexible params!

Re: Do you ever get the feeling that your missing out?

I guess it all depends on how much value you put into frequently having sex. If you think it's an important thing, then you're gonna feel bad when you're not getting it, which is not a realistic way to live.

Another thing: if the things you're doing aren't giving you the pleasure you think you should be getting, do other things instead. Sometimes just doing something different from your routine can be invigorating. Just the other day I was driving around in an emergency search for some supplies for a project, and I thought to myself, when was the last time I drove around here, just to be out? I'd been feeling in a funk too, and just doing something different and being out in the world by myself gave me a fresh breath of change I needed.

Carpe Diem!

Sorry aboot the sex comment. It really didn't add anything to the discussion, and was pretty much a null point.

All I can suggest is to find and befriend like-minded people that you enjoy being around and take the opportunity to do some different stuff. Ask yourself what you can do now that you won't be able to do when you get in the working world. Big ass road trips come to mind.

If anyone would tell that to me, I'd point at them and laugh.

You know what cheers me up? Destroying stuff! I also have a project I work on whenever I have the cash to do so. Having something to do over a period of a few years could be a good thing.

Re: Do you ever get the feeling that your missing out?

To each his own I guess...

Studying in the city is a blessing and a curse. It's almost impossible to ever get bored here and I can treat myself to excellent restaurants and movies and museums and whatnot but it's also difficult to befriend people here since... it's in the city. There's no campus or common place and there are millions of people everywhere. At first I felt alienated among the crowd but I finally got to get along with a very finy few people here....

Oh, but, yeah. Do something creative. If I'm in a funk I put on some music and whip out my sketch pad or write a short blurb or something. And Mora's idea is great too. If for whatever reason I'm in a lull at home I take a walk our get to drive to a nice LOOKIN' spot where I can see the hills and horizon and
sunset and stuff.

If sex is such a big deal just whack your willy. At least it's sex with someone you love.
