I hate it when you guy's are right, especially those who I don't want to be right, but that's kind of obvious isn't it?
Anyway, what do you guy's do that keeps your mind off of depressing stuff? After finding out about this chick that doesn't want to get any closer than good friends, all I want to do is finish my masters, after all, that was one of the reasons I got my bachelor's two years ealier. After having been totally betrayed, I signed up for 30 credit's for one semester, and kept going, and taking classes in winter and summer sessions. But, now what do I do after I finish my masters? I mean, I don't want to be one of those losers who buries himself in his work, and has absolutely 0 life, but it seems like that's the only choice I have.
BTW, I have had a couple shot's as of thus far tonight, so that might be why I don't make perfect sense if I don't
i hear ya..im not quite to my masters considering im a freshman in college but i have a feeling im going to be in your boat in a few years join the military
my masters is going to be in Physics, I changed from studying philosophy, so Instead I'm working on getting a degree in theoretical physics, which has a lot of philosophy intertwined anyway.
I'm just having a tough time, I want my life to mean more than just two degree's, If I died tomorrow, would all that would be remembered of me be that I graduated with honors. So far, the only thing I have contributed to society is a design that I came up with wile I was drunk one night, and that hasn't even been published yet. I have been cheated on 7 or 8 times, have 3 failed relationships, one of them being my former engagement.
I would rather not just delve deeper into study, because at the end, I'm going to have nothing to show for it, except for knowledge of some exotic theory that has no practical use, and 3 years so far of wasted time, without anything productive being done.
My greatest fear right now is that somehow, If all I do to make myself feel better is take a couple swigs of some scotch, and pick up a phyisics book, or finish a research paper, or some other work that I have to do, I'll end up one of those 50yr old men who has no one, a bank account with 10,000,000 in it and nothing/no one to spend it on, that goes to work everyday, comes home, takes a couple swigs, and picks up a book. If there was anything close to a truly depressing thought, this would be it.
Well, here's the conundrum. Changing from being a design engineer (which is what I plan on being now), which would consist of doing alot of theoretical work, and research, that would take me to teaching other people about theoretical aspects of the field, and then doing research, which is one of the things that most professors and teachers do. At the end of the day, I would still most likely be living in the same scenario, with a slight change in job, and the results from that job.
eventually, I wanted to have a family, but all hopes of that seem to be dwindling.
well, I don't want to sound like SXGT, nor any other person who has retarded threads (or so they seem), but pretty much today. She asked how I got through college in two and a half years, and I told her how it was because I did nothing but take classes and do my work, and had zero life. At that point, I said something like "I didn't do it the right way though, I let life pass me by", and she said something along the lines of her getting distracted from school, and discouraged when she saw her friends having fun. Basically she didn't come out and say "nope", nien, niet, no, or any other way of saying the english equivalent, but it was there subtlely
Oh, and I only drink on days that I don't have to work ending with the word day, on days I have to work I don't have anything to drink the day before or whatever.

I will tell you what is depressing......when you read about all of you 20 year olds wanting to rush into life. Just because you are 20 and haven't found that perfect one does not mean she is not out there. Maybe your ONE is not 18 yet, maybe she has things in life she needs to do before settling down, or maybe she needs to go through her own heartache to really appreciate you when she finds you. You have plenty of time to find the RIGHT one and it will happen when you least expect it to. I was forced to grow up when I was 19 and found out I was pregnant and my 25 year old boyfriend couldn't handle it. I lost out on my early years of life when you are supposed to be searching for who YOU are. I didn't get to figure out who I was until I was about 26 due to being forced into growing up early.
IN SHORT ENJOY THE TIME YOU HAVE TO LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF......YOU WILL FIND WHO YOU ARE LOOKING FOR BEFORE LONG AND THE LITTLE YOU TIME YOU HAVE LEFT WILL DISSAPEAR!!!

what does that have to do with finding something to take my mind off of what just happened to me?

Sounds like you maybe over analyzing the situation. In any case, you said she gave you her number, at least you have your foot in the door. You asked if you should take her at "face value", so just do that and dont worry about leading an empty life. At least you have someone in it that you love. So just take it as that, you never know what may come of it; she may actually want to be more than friends, you may even meet someone else later on. You seem to just be depressing yourself worrying, wondering about your future with someone. Live in the moment dude, with the comfort of knowing that when the time comes you can offer that someone security with the oodles of money you'll be banking...

To be young and full of.....well you will know. The more you worry about live the slower it seems to move. Most of "us" have been through the door your standing in front of right now, and it seems brutally hard to go forward, but like people told me when I was your age, time heals all wounds and you'll be fine. I'm in my 30's and I am having more fun now with friends and cars then I had when I was in my 20's. Trust in fate and don't worry about what has happened, Finish you studies as a means to a lifestyle later, so you can afford the things you may want and the girls will always be there.
And the best revenge is to be successful in life. It's funny to see old girlfriends nice as pie talking to me until my wife shows up, then you can see the hate in there eyes......good times, good times...
hmmm....masters in physics....and me ex-military high school dropout....big brain with dumb gun....we could always join up and head to bolivia ...maybe restart the coca business and knock over morales...we could be luciano and lansky all over again....chuckle...just a thought...ahhh possibilities
