#24380 Every have one of those days we've everything you see on Facebook is just incredibly annoying? You want to like it, you wish it were fun abs up your alley, but everything up, you say no to, there's a jingle - NO! Who created isis? - NO! #Dicksoutforafuckonggirilla? - NO! I wish I knew why I was in such a pissy mood, but i guess I'll never know cause I better wake up in a better mood

#24379 You know what really sucks? I don't miss home, I dont miss my past, I don't miss anything... I think I've become incapable of caring about anyone, anything, or even having any emotion...

#24378 I keep trying to read my reading assignments, but end up not retaining anything, so I have to repeat the same passages over and over again. My confession is that no matter how focused I try to be, I always end up not being focused enough to do my work, and therefore end up procrastinating, or not doing it at all. What can help me?

#24377 College textbooks are such a fucking scam. $190 so I can take a weekly quiz that covers 4 paragraphs of a 30 page reading? Eat shit you dick sucking sons of bitches.

#24376 I'm now a senior at Purdue, and I have literally made zero real friends here so far. I don't know how I have survived up until this point, but I'm gradually losing motivation to do anything at all. Academically, I am doing really well since I was far too focused on my studies, but I doubt it will continue that way. There's no point when I don't have any social life at all. For the past month, I have spent about every night crying in my bed. The thought of being lonely is slowly killing me and getting worse by day. It sucks. There's a mix of anger and depression that clouds my mind all day, and sometimes it's intense enough to force me to go outside and walk up to random people on streets and say "Hi! Let's be friends" which has never worked for me. I would always come across as a pathetic loser and conversations go horribly awkward with strangers.
The people I know who are taking classes with me only want me to get their homework done. I often call them to hang out and have a meal together. It is very rare that someone accepts my invitation, and when they do, it almost feels like they are doing me a favor, which further wears out my already low self esteem and confidence. I literally have to beg people for attention.
I can't figure what I am doing wrong. People seem to enjoy my company from what I can tell, whenever I get an opportunity to hang out. I make them laugh, and I try to be as outgoing as possible. Perhaps, they feel I am incapable of being compassionate enough for a real friendship. Although I do have compassion for other people, maybe my lack of social skills don't give that impression.
I have been to CAPS, but they weren't really helpful. I never heard back from them after my first appointment. I honestly wish I had someone to talk to and share my experiences with. I am an international student living by myself, which makes things even worse. It is very unfortunate that I've to put it all here anonymously. I know you can only sympathize with me at the very best, and I'm sure a lot of you can relate to my feelings. If you ask me to message you, I probably won't since I don't want to reveal myself, but I will really appreciate your concern. Any advice or criticism from someone who has been in my shoes would really be helpful. I don't want to give up so easily, but I can't continue living like this and I don't want to.
If you have read till this point, then I really can't thank you enough. It comforts me to know that someone out there is actually willing to listen to me and understand what I'm going through.

#24375 any idea on how to keep up with busy schedules?

#24374 I love it when the professor tells us to get into groups and all the white people find other white people to group up with and therefore all the minorities are in a group together. Segregation is still very much alive people.

#24373 I just hope the football team can pull off a miracle and win just one home game so we can get that discount again. Plz guys
