Rant About Whatever

******50
I'm so indecisive on what the hell to do with my life.
I switched from biomedical engineering to business(marketing/finance) to accounting and now I'm leaning towards marketing and finance again. I like accounting a lot. I do extremely well with little effort in those classes but I cannot see myself as an accountant. I can see myself doing something in Finance and having an accounting degree is way good for that but I don't know. I feel like that would limit me to just finance related stuff.
So maybe marketing and finance? I really enjoy marketing but realize it's pretty much hit or miss with getting a decent job. So having finance in there as a bit of a back up/ way to open up other opportunities is a good idea? I don't know.
I also really regret not staying in science/medicine because I did not give it any chance. First two years are boring pre req classes no matter what your major is and freshmen me didn't realize that. I seriously wish I could go back into it but it's way too late now and I just want to be done with school.
I also am at a point where I really want a job where I can work from home/my laptop remotely or something so I can travel and live in cool places without worrying about a job holding me back from doing so. But I also don't want to be getting a new job every year so i can do stuff like that.
Gah. Life is hard.

You know what bothers me so much? When girls sit on there phones and basically isolate themselves from you when your supposed to be socializing or something...
Like I spent a whole day at my girls place and she sat on her phone 80% of the time... "Oh, you haven't said anything in 5 seconds? Ok! Time for talking to my other friends!" Which leaves me sitting there doing nothing staring awkwardly at things in the room.. Because I'm not about to do the same thing. Like bruh you can fucking do that some other time...

I'm totally unqualified to be giving advice on this, but since I'm going into college undecided and with virtually no direction, I've had way too many conversations about choosing a path. Every single adult I've talked to has said (to put it simply) that your undergrad major really doesn't have much of an effect on the rest of your life, so long as your successful in whatever you do choose.
Basically, just go with what you're good at and enjoy, because someone who loves science and hates their school's econ department is going to have a fucking shitty time trying to make it to Wall Street through their undergrad major alone.
I had a great conversation with a woman who had been a senior partner at Goldman Sachs before retiring. In college she majored in biochem (or something of the sort) because her parents pressured her to be a doctor but she knew it wasn't for her. However, she was super fucking smart (Good Will Hunting type shit from what it sounded like) and caught the eye of whatever recruitment-type people GS has. I don't remember the details but GS basically takes top college kids and puts them through a series of tests and interviews, knocking them off one by one. They do not give a flying fuck what you learned in college, as long as you display what they are looking for (confidence, intelligence, ability to pick things up quickly), because they know you can learn what you need to learn to get the job done.
It's not what you know but what you can prove. If you prove your willingness to learn more and that your overall hunger for something surpasses others, you'rs going to beat out a lot of people in the professional world no matter what field you end up choosing.
tl;dr
Don't stress so much about your major, choose whatever you like, go HAM in any opportunities
Once again take this with a grain of salt since I'm only 18 but the things above are principals I know I'll be following for the next four years and beyond.

You're not alone. Stay positive and surround yourself with good people. Easier said than done I know. I'm not near as bad as the kids my age but I'm sure when we meet you'll notice how I'm a kid and social media is part of my life, not my fault. I stay as true as possible and don't get wrapped up in it, but that's how kids work these days. Really sad.

Very true. I'm all for a build/renovation but what they are proposing is absolutely rediculous. They can't even keep lofts running half the time lol.

You guys all share my same feelings about park city and utah in general. Its becomming awful and combining all this development in areas near/in the mountains + the blatantly obvious fact of climate change, the writing is up there on the walls and none of these people wanna do anything. Its infuriating.
I get that the majority of people out here are on vacation but for fucks sake its no excuse to be purely ignorant of the issues impacting the very places you frequent/vacation to. Im tired of this mindset of "not our town, not our issue." its the exact same thinking that helps dig the hole we are all in even deeper.

And hardcore mormon conservative senators like Jason Chaffetz want to preserve the PC ridgeline but its all fucking fishy and its so he can eventually sell it off to more resort companies/developers. Sooner or later, its going to be like skiing through suburbia USA and we gotta do something.
At least city council has some fucking balls and wants locals to vote for the bonanza flats bond to be on novembers ballot. If not, then all of guardsmans pass will be turned into a private golf community when there are already 3 in the surrounding area.
FUCKIN FIRED UP OVER THIS. WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE

I've been repainting my mom's house the entire summer and there's another guy who's been doing work on the siding. Except he almost never comes and works during the week, and instead will come over on a Saturday and start fucking hammering nails into our house starting at like 10 am. Like why couldn't you do this during the week when I was actually up early and working on the house as well?? I just want to relax on fucking saturdays, not listen to banging on the side of my house all day long

Some dipshit roofer backed his work van into my car at my parents house this weekend. The fucker didn't even say anything and just drove off like it didnt happen. Those kind of people make me sick.

Fuck litterers. Family or no I'll call people out on it. Started some big fights and sometimes there is nothing I can do about it. Usually I'm the driver though and if it is my friends and family I've found saying pick up your shit or walk home (and being serious about it) will usually work.
Oh yeah, came here rant b/c I'm running out of summer. Too many projects at home and it it going to be super hot this week. Going to have to get into triage mode. No way everything is going to get done but I need to get on track to have everything battened down and gutters up on my place before the dry weather runs out.
Going home to Buffalo tomorrow(well more like I'll be there in 3 days but bare with me) and I'm pretty not stoked on it. I can't believe this summer is already over. It flew by and I'm pretty damn sad I won't be able to do all these rad things for another 9 months.
I hate to get into pussy mode right now but I am. I met so many great people and became friends with some really amazing people. For the first time in quite some time I felt like I had homies who had my back, who I could chill with all the time and be myself around. We could talk about shit that actually makes sense to me. I didn't have to pretend to care about conversations, I actually was a part of them. I talked and socialized more this summer than I have like...ever. It came easy(ish) and it was amazing. I felt like I actually had my shit together in a way. Shit just made so much sense all summer. I didn't worry about stupid shit as much as I usually do. I was able to stay positive about literally everything and now it's all coming to an end and I'm not ready to go back home.
I don't know, maybe I'm just way overthinking this and being a little bitch but I'm fucking scared to go home. 1. The drive by myself is terrifying. 2. I'm pretty nervous that everything I just said above will go to shit and things will go back to the way they were before and I really really don't want that to happen. I'm nervous that I'll never see some of these people again and that bums me out because they're so great and I genuinely care about a lot of them. It sucks. I don't like saying goodbye. I know I've only been here for 3 months but this place feels like home to me... A very dysfunctional home, but home nonetheless. I just wanna go back to hanging out with everyone, every night at this shitty ass old motel.
Okay I'm done being a pussy now.

I feel ya big time on this. I live in a town where everyone follows the same fucking boring path. Grows up, goes to college in New England, moves back to town. No one ever wants to do anything when we hang out but sit around and occasionally go on our boat. When I went to Whistler, one short week was all it took for me to get 100% addicted. I met people out there that I could actually talk to about what I love. I could talk about skiing, filming, photography, what ever the fuck I wanted really. Whenever I try to talk to my friends here about skiing or filming all they know is like two names. Tom Wallisch and Candide Thovex. They consider themselves to be big skiers as well. No one will go biking, wake boarding, skateboarding, long boarding, surfing, etc. because all they do is sit inside and watch Netflix and shit

All three of my dogs are sick with diarrhea. For a couple of days now. At first I was thought it must be just one of them and I couldn't figure out which one. Nothing has changed with their diet so they must have got into some shit or something. Fucking sucks and they kept me up pretty much all last night. Gonna try some de-wormer tonight hopefully that is it.

My relationship with my parents has been on a rocky road ever since I got home from oregon back in may. For whatever reason we just dont click as a family anymore. I cant talk to my mom without getting in an argument with her, everything she says gets under my skin and I retaliate by acting out and talking back to my mom in way you shouldnt ever speak to your parent. I dont know what to do to fix it and it makes me really fucking sad that I cant go a day without getting into an argument with my parents.

I went through that will my parents for a while. I just remind myself everytime before we argue or after the fact
"Is that really how I want it to end, and if one of us "Goes" would I be happy with that being our last conversation?"
That mentality has saved me a great deal of fights and frustration.
Also, stay busy, its hard to argue when you aren't home.

I know what you mean, I sometimes often argue for little shit with my parents for a few days at a time. Theyve also just been lowkey pissed at me all summer for working barely and only hanging with my friends boozing or piffing. Now I work at the ski shop my mom works at, if Im working with her we usually get along and now at home its a little more relaxed. I guess just dont easily get bothered, I understand though, I hold the same feelings back from going off on my brother everyday when he annoys me, or even is just around me I get pissed.

You know what pisses me off, the people in class who just copy notes of the teacher's power point. Idk why, but they make everything so neat and tidy, and then brag about it. Those people also can't take a joke. The main thing that pisses me off, is that all they study for like 7 hours for a test. Or they brag about their grades, ohhhhhh that pisses me off. Then they also make excuses about how they didn't get a good grade. Just keep it low-key, no matter what grade you get.

Move out. Seriously, I used to fight with my parents all day everyday. I couldn't have a conversation with them without it turning into us screaming at each other. Granted, we're Italian so we yell anyways unknowingly, but you get the point haha. Moving out when I went to college and only getting to see my dad once every few weeks- a month made me really happy to see him when I was able to.
Spend more time doing something that puts you in a good mood. If you come home after work all grumpy, it's gonna radiate to your house too. If you can come home in a more positive mood, that might also radiate good vibes and make it less hostile.
Also, small things like saying thank you or washing dishes or giving your parents a hug for no reason will put them in a better mood and they will be less likely to be dicks to you
