Life The MangaHelpers Confessional Thread - Part 3

[M3J]

Take few minutes or an hour off to relax. Read, play video games, bash fuglett-kun, or whatever. Take an hour to relax, walk or do something. Do something that you love or enjoy, like googling pictures of cats. Whatever you do, try to set aside an hour where you can relax by doing something you like.

Plus, you have a boyfriend, right? Sex or have him go down on you.

 

[Dried Ambrosia]

That's a tough one Adi. It depends on you really. I have had a few weeks from hell in January. I was stressing out because of tight deadlines and a ridiculous amount of work. Managed to get over it with the help of a indian headmassage and a relaxing massage, plus lots of Zen thee. LOTS OF IT!

 

[M3J]

I confess I'm debating whether I should let Charles know I'm going to Philly tomorrow. If I don't have to pick up my mom, I have time to explore the city again after my appointment, but Charles can be too restrictive cuz the old toad gets tired. GTFO I say, GTFO sir.

So yeah, I confess I'm not sure if I want Charles or anyone to join me, especially since I hope to visit the Fireman's Hall again. It's a sugoi dugoi place.

It's tough to find time for myself, that's what I'm really missing from my life. I only have time to watch a couple of episodes from a show a day with my boyfriend. xD And my alone time is spent while I'm working... Like I'm taking seconds to relax. Right now I'm here. xD

Recently I'm nostalgic of my hobbies. No time now. Every now and then I go out but just for an hour with a friend, while he's having his lunch break, we're usually too busy to meet another day. And sometimes like this weekend, I have some time, for instance this Saturday I won't be having lectures, so I'll have time to see some girlfriends I haven't seen since sometime last year.

Yeah, that... You know what happens when women stress out? Yeah.

Funny you mention massages, I was looking at stretching exercises yesterday. I ache everywhere, I'm so stiff from sitting all day.

I hope your work is going well.

You're kidding, right?

Well, take out more time to relax. Does watching shows with your boyfriend relax you? Declutter your stress?

High five! Make more time though.

So? If he was a sugoi boyfriend, he'd pleasure you even if you were bleeding.

You're kidding, right?

What?

 

[Adorien]

Well, take out more time to relax.

Where do I take it from? If they sell it somewhere, I'll buy it.

Does watching shows with your boyfriend relax you? Declutter your stress?

To an extent, yes. For 40 mins, hour and twenty a day. But then it all begins again! <.> And it's not the same as having personal time on my own, a hobby, something.

Make more time though.

Tell me how to make it and I will.

That's not the point...

What?

Telling a stressed out person to solve his/her stress issues by relaxing is the equivalent to telling starving kid in africa to solve his hunger issue by eating or telling a sleep deprived insomniac to sleep. It just kinda does not work that way. Stressed out people are not stressed out because they can't relax, they are stressed out because a bunch of things are taking their tool. I don't really have any advice to deal with your stress or schoolwork or any of your actual problems but I sincerely hope your situation improves. Although if you are having trouble remembering stuff then a practical approach to deal with that is keeping a list of things you have to do. At least it will take pressure of actually remembering things and stop work from piling on....

 

[Adorien]

I'm such an airhead that keeping a to-do list will result in losing/forgetting about the list.

And actually there is some sense in relaxing to stressing, in the sense of hobbies, going out, sports. Sadly, I have no time for that, but at least music helps me calm down a bit and chill. I can even do it while working. It's just that it's not long-term.

 

[kkck]

Thats pretty much my point (although now I realize I did not word my post properly to actually make that point lol). Stress is not a about people simply not relaxing (in most cases at least), its about there being a bunch of stuff which prevents you from taking a break and in some cases stuff piling on.

I am the same way about forgetting stuff.... I think I have dealt with it better lately although it would still be better if I actually wrote everything down lol.

Oh ok then. xD Thanks though.

It's good to vent.

That's all up to you. If you don't make time for yourself, you won't get time.

To an extent, yes. For 40 mins, hour and twenty a day. But then it all begins again! <.> And it's not the same as having personal time on my own, a hobby, something.

Do your hobby while watching shows with your boyfriend. And stop thinking so much, you ditzy airhead.

Tell me how to make it and I will.

YOUR LIFE, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ME

That's not the point...

Point is doing something that takes away stress or makes you forget it.

I confess belting out Disney and Wicked songs is the perfect way to forget that you were rejected from 5/6 grad schools and wasted about 350$ on those applications.

 

[Schabrak]

Why do those application cost ~50$? oO

 

[M3J]

Universities charge application fees, if I recall. Main reasons I applied to Drexel were because I didn't need to do an essay or pay any fee.

 

[Adorien]

There are universities in this world that you can apply to without a fee?

#Bulgarianproblems

 

[Naomi]

They want you to be serious about applying. They don't just anyone to apply since they have to sit through each application and review it.

Also, because they just can.

Pretty much. Went back and calculated the total amount: it's $490 to apply to 6 top-tier schools.

I confess that I cringe at my grammar whenever I read my old posts, tweets, or whatnot.

I confess it almost inspires me to proofread what I say, solely so I don't go all "wtf."

I confess I then don't give a shit because I'm not applying for jobs or getting graded.

I confess I legitimately have a problem with plurals and verbs. Like, I get confused whether I should say "most is" or "most are" or "people is" or "people are" cuz like, cuz of "everyone is" rule.

That's interesting, common problems I observe are to/too, its/it's, there/their, etc. Personally I have a problem with past tense and present perfect tense, sometimes it's not obvious to me which one is appropriate.

 

[M3J]

Those common problems don't occur with me, other than autocorrect. I always thought it was obvious what the difference was, but that people are just that stupid.
Present perfect tense? D:
