Life is Rough

Okay, so where do I begin. I got my license, apartment, started going to college and got my job transferred all in a month. Thought I was ready for college, and I got bitchslapped hard by life. Well, I'm in a slightly better place now, I've got medication to help with new depression and a few new friends. Other than that, my life is going alright. Haven't done atWar a lot cause I was trying my best at college, and yet my grades slumped further than I ever woulda thought.

Should I quit college and go for working 40 hours a week again? I've been thinking about it, and I've made some good friends, but I'm also now only a few months away from completing my first year.

Is 4chan back? But for real, depends on the details bro, what field, where are you, job details, etc. Hope you're good now though mentally.

Moved to offtopic as well.

Well if you are depressed, sounds like achievement like finishing first year could do you well.

There's an easy solution to all of your problems: invest in yourself.

I had a mental crisis just 1-2 months ago. I went without sleep for 60 hours straight then had insomnia for over a month. Anxiety, depression, tremors—you name it, I felt it. How did I return to relative normality? I invested in myself. Maintaining a sound mental state is more important than maintaining your job or maintaining good grades. Because when you satisfy the former, the latter will inexorably follow.

It seems like you're doing alright (better now than how I was doing then), but you're facing a pretty serious dilemma. And I think that this dilemma can, likewise to my situation, be solved through investing in yourself. How do you accomplish this? In my case, I had to 1. allocate several hours at night to think about life and stare at the night sky, 2. eat two steaks each day along with a bunch of carbohydrates like bread and pasta, 3. sleep on the floor, and 4. talk with family members more often—a bunch of random stuff. These are investments that you should think of as the initial cost in a net present value equation. After all, there IS a cost—the effort you put towards investing in yourself is effort you could put towards working or mindlessly fulfilling the objectives of a school project. But your efforts will not be in vain. Furthermore, there is recourse even if the initial cost seems unaffordable. Show your friends a google sheet displaying a positive value for the NPV of your life, and, within reason, they will help you.

I don't know what kind of investments you should make, but the guiding principle I would use relates to our shared nature. Man was never meant to live like how the modern man lives. I, therefore, advocate for a reversion to the mean of human existence. Supplying yourself with proper nutrition, eschewing plastic, and exposing yourself to the harsh, cold nightly environment are just a few ways to live out the "good" life. The life that we were meant to live. We were not meant to live in comfort. We were meant to strive towards a comfortable life. This does not mean that the good life is lived out everyday by Amazonian tribesmen. This is just a helpful way of re-configuring your own life to make it more meaningful, while still striving towards greater wealth and accomplishing the things that you've always wanted to accomplish.

Your life is like a company. When you invest with a guiding principle like the one I just mentioned, you are investing in good management (i.e., a sound mental state). But management cannot make a good company product (i.e., the good life) without the resources to do it. When your mind is placated, you should invest in yourself in yet another way: through infrastructure. This includes, for one, a research station. You need at least three monitors to accomplish tasks efficiently. This point is not trivial in any sense, whatsoever. Coupled with a sound mental state, with three monitors, one man can accomplish anything. It is worth taking on more debt to purchase a computer capable of hosting three monitors. It's an investment that will pay off in ways that no one has ever regretted. If you already have three monitors, then you're already very close to the good life. At this point, you should be equipped to make a sound decision over whether to work, continue school, or seize other rich opportunities available in this chaotic environment.

None of this has to do with philosophy—this is a practical dilemma that you seek to unravel. As many of us undergo the "great rethinking," we seek to unravel the dilemma of modern life.

Make sure you are giving yourself enough time to do classes. It's insanely difficult to both work and go to school at the same time. If you can afford it you should only work part time or take a break from working to focus on school. If you have to work, then consider taking less classes. You won't graduate as soon as you hope but it's better than failing.

If the diploma you are trying to get is something that will give you a lot of chances to get a job and its not a useless one meanwhile you can afford to not work with like having your parents supporting you financially or you work during the summer breaks , then i think you should go for the college diploma, its much better to look for the long run because you will benefit much more in the future than if you just choose to work a normal 40 hour minimum wage job, those 4 years you will spend studying will give you a job for the rest 44 years of your life till you retire (i repeat, if its someting that will provide you a job for sure and its not like a dying art or somehting useless or for fun)

-sell me this monitor

Joke aside, good speech. I also might try that cold night thing just enough not to get sick.

If your collapsing due to the weight of depression/working and collegue, then id recomend prioritizing urself, idk how it works in your country but i had alot of friends who were in similar situations and would take a semester or 2 off to focus on themselfs while working/saving and later coming back with money saved up to focus fully in collegue or atleast geting a less demanding job to balance out the work needed in collegue (i even have friends who took like 1 or 2 years just to bank so when they focused in uni they could just work part time or not at all and be alright).

Their is no rush or correct path to take in life especialy when ur talking about collegue, it took me years to adapt to studying/working only on weekends etc. Now if you truely dont wanna do collegue because you feel like its not your thing, then of course you can choose a profesion that doesnt require university, their is absolutly no shame in that, you do not need a degree to succeed in life and theirs lots of work that is esential to keep the world working that pays well without the need of a degree.

That being said the priority should always be your mental health, since that will drain into other aspects of your life, so focus on geting out of it, depression has hit us all at multiple moments in our life and will mostt likely continue too, id recomend taking some of the responsabilities off your back, going out for walks/eating more healthy and trying new things, meeting new people helps too as well as changing your routine.

Don't do stuff just because people around you tell you that you have to do and be like them. u can do whatever u want my man. believe in urself, appreciate failure and dont be afraid to tackle new experiences. we ain't taking anything back with us when we go, so make the most out of your life.
