Yeah, so lately I've felt like a complete failure...
Not only am I still stuck in this god-awful community college with no direction that leads to success but now I have no job or any money... ;;
Ok, now I'll stop bitching to say... I think everyone meets a wall of failure sooner or later.


~~~~~~~~

What point in your life have you felt like the biggest failure?
Community college vs. Universities, which is preferred? Money vs. status?

I wouldn't say that I feel like a failure. I just get annoyed at myself and think where have I gone wrong and improve my approach to things.

I've felt like a failure a lot of times. More than I care to think about. Mostly about the same things you mentioned and a lot of what if questions. but things always got better, they will for you also.

Thoth star isnt a failure <__<
at least, that is my opinion.

Well, ive felt alot of times like a failure.
(: My friends suddenly wouldn't talk to me,
i've got drunk and did the wrong things.
But everything seems to get okay sooner or later.

And about the college community vs University.
I have no clue <__< here they only have universities.
But i think universities are better tho.

I'm getting through college very slowly, and I can't find a job. So I know how that is. And I'm not entirely sure if what I'm going into is really what I want to do, but I'm so indecisive and I haven't found anything that really makes me think I really want to do it. And my boyfriend's situation is even worse. He already got kicked out of one college for bad grades, and now he's failing at the college he's at now, so who knows what will happen next semester. And he can't find a job either. And his parents are terrible and don't care about anything but him finishing college, so they make him take too many classes at once and don't help him or anything. They didn't even give him enough money for books which is part of why he failed, and they always pay the tuition too late.

@ARGY: That's good.

@spice: I'm glad it improved for you... Yes, I hope so. Thanks. ^^

@Lia: Aww, thanks. *glomp* x3
Everyone does stupid stuff when they're tho. hahaha.
Yeah, universities might be better... but here in America they give the same education, same teachers even, except universities always cost 10 times more than community college. Its a total gyp.

@vicki: That really sucks... sounds like your bf might have to go to a community college or somewhere to improve his grades before another university will accept him.
*nod* It happens... That kinda sounds like my parents. They didn't give me any money for college either. I think once you both find jobs you'll be fine... Thats my main concern cuz if I don't get a job soon I won't even be able to afford to be in college. ><

@google: Aww, thanks. ^^

I never got a high school diploma.

I went to community college.

But I got a B.S in Food Science and am now pursuing a Master's degree.

Community college is awesome, in my opinion. It gave me the start I needed in order to succeed academically - and while costing my family comparatively little money, as well! So I think you'll be fine. :)

I haven't completed high-school. The best job I ever had was subway. I don't know all of my times-tables. I completely forgot how to divide. I'm 20 years old and I've never been in a relationship, let alone been kissed. Friends are a rare. If anyone should feel like a complete failure, it's me.

I fail.
WompWomp.

Feel better 'bout yourself, k?

I used to beat up myself at time, but now I've adapted an easier-going attitude and I try not to do it as much. But there are a lot of times I have felt like a "failure" simply because I expected [and still do] a lot of qualities and achievements from myself.

Right now I feel like I failed at nearly everything. I had to drop out of three different schools and still don't have a degree. I'm stuck working at a pet store, I can't afford to move out of my parent's house and I should have been moved out years ago, and I'm separated from my husband.

Everyone goes through a phase where they feel like they have nothing going for them. It's best to focus on the good things. Just remember, things can only get better. I prefer going to community college then going to a university since universities are expensive and you can take the same classes at a community school for a lot less.

Right now I'm feeling like a failure because no matter how hard I try I can't seem to pass my geometry course. It's ironic because I'm also an artist.

The end of the term is in two weeks, and if I don't pull up my grade in class and do well on the final, I doubt I'll pass the class. If I don't pass the class my parents are pulling me out of this school and are going to put me in a different school (Which, like many of the public schools around here, have a lot of drug and alchol use. Plus, I'm a huge target because I'm fat and Hispanic in an almost all white area).

Yea, I suppose my problem is realitively mild compared to y'alls, but it still makes me feel like a failure.

I think you people all need a hug. -Hugs everyone-

Yes, sometimes i do. Today was one of those occasions. I had back some homework, with an dismal grade. Things like that always depress me, yet they happen so often, because i don't put a lot of thought into homework.
the biggest fail would have to be, when for the second year running, i failed my maths GCSE. Well, getting a D practically is a fail, when i need a C. Third time lucky is currently in progress...

I often feel a bit of a fail, at home, whenever my dad is concerned. He doesn't have a nice word to say about anyone, and with my somewhat precarious self esteem, he doesn't help, criticizing everything i do.

*Holds hand up* My biggest time of failure is right now . . . two years out of high school, going on to year three. I keep losing jobs, can hold one if my life depends on it and for stupid reasons too. I have no blood idea what to do with myself, my little brother only half a year out of high school is already registering for collage, he knows what he wants to do with himself. He's blasting ahead of me. My older brother is married, has kids, he's so happy with his job, he's gone so far. I shouldn't compare myself to him, he is 12 years older then I am. But I can't do anything right, I've failed school more times then I can count, I keep fucking up and right now I don't feel like even bothering with trying to find a job. Partly because the whole process of apply, interviews, learning the job to the point where I do it well, is so hard on me . . . I'm the shyest person in the world, I almost have a break down at the thought of having to do all that shit on my own. Seriously, once I am in a job I'm good but everything before that is just . . . oh gods nuts for me. I know I'm a strange and sad individual but whatever . . .

I care for both, but I'm not super concerned with money or status. I don't need the stop light. A decent amount of money is all I need. If I have enough to travel, and do the things I want to do. Raise kids, have a family, travel, make other happy, then I'm good. Corney I know but shit I really don't care if I have the status or the massive amounts of money some people have. Just enough to be happy and well off ^_____^'

From bitching about my current status to wishing I was way in the future past all this shit.

Oh, yes. I know the feeling well enough; I've met my wall of failure and am still trying to climb up it--much less over it. XD I have yet to get so much as the typical crappy first job, I have no idea what I'm going to go to school for, provided I even end up getting back into school, and of course I have no money and no driver's license . . . I'm totally dependent and I hate it. I'm trying, though, and taking the slow steps toward fixing all of that.

Gab:: You are so not a failure. D: <33
You're like, the most amazing person that I know. :oops:

Community college isn't so bad...I've done research. Because that's where I'm going to have to go more than likely. IF I get to go to college at all. ._.

As for a job...a lot of people don't have jobs right now...its not just you. :c

Think about what you tell me when I start saying things like that, okay? Think about the good things that you have or have done. :<
I don't want you to feel like a failure because I don't think you're a failure at all. <333

Yes..so many times,

especially when it comes to school and when I have a stupid argument with my siblings.

And last week I was so depressed that I shoveled food in my mouth because..well food makes me feel better and because I have no one to talk to.

Now I am dealing with unwanted fat..

Sigh

Yes I do.

I'm still not in university and I'm 22, by the time I can hopefully finally afford to go it will be when I'm 23, I wont be able to finish everything and have a decent job in the field I'm interested in until I'm 30...

That is a far cry from the goals I have meticulously pieced together, the classes/universities museums I have already thought about striving for since I was 8. I have been planning my life since then. Only minor things changed when I failed calculus in high school, but I did bounce back from that.

Why the wait? Because my parents cannot help me at all, and I wasn't approved fully for any loan because I had to build up more credit so my loans have already fallen through twice, once when I was 18 and another when I was 20. In between there I decided to just party like crazy but that doesn't get anything accomplished. So I've been busting my ass trying to build credit and trying to get the gov to understand my parents aren't giving me anything, and that I need 14k not the 5k they are offering to give me.

To not have my life working out how I have wanted it to for the past 14 years really does eat at me, and I constantly become upset and feel like a failure, but it does pass for a while anyway at a time as long as you know what you want to do, and what you're willing to do to get there... even if that means working 3 years at a crummy call center while working another full time job just to save enough to live in res and pay all your bills.

Community Colleges here... there is only 1 I can think of and it is called Red River College, its also almost harder to get into there than the Universities here because they're programs are amazing, most Universities have courses through them you can take because they're better than the ones being offered at the U's, and all the trade skills go there, I have 3 friends that have certificates and careers already in graphic arts because they went there. They're now making around 50k a year starting at a firm. I wouldn't think that going to a community college is any less than a university at all.

I think I ended up ranting more than you gah

Sometimes I feel like a social failure. ._. All my friends are getting boyfriends and poor ol' Lenna can barely get the guts to talk to one. I don't wanna grow up and be a crazy lonely old cat lady...but...D:

I guess its one of those phases you get, you know? Cause sometimes, it really gets me down, and then later on I just think "I'll find the right guy someday~" and feel better. But those down times really bite.

i think 'educational probation' screams failure at me XD i got that awhile ago, tis basically means 'you failed try again in a year' and can't apply to that same college for a bit.

what happened was i gots in college due to my art, had a $500 scholarship from being in a whats was called a Tri-high art show, three students from three highschools got the schalarship thingy. i got it and went into art for a year, i failed cause of the boring classes, english, and art history,....i cannot write essays >.<; i mean come on the textbook for art history was so heavy, carrying it home caused me to collaspe, my legs weakened and buckled beneath me. normaly i'm strong but O.o that was just weird.

so yeah >.> with books ten inches thick (not kidding) tis no wonder i failed the class,
if yah can't lift the book i say don't read it.

mmm sometimes. its not as much of a failure problem as an identity issue. i have asian parents, and even though they dont say it i know i have lots of pressure about my grades. they've been dropping lately because of my identity issues. these days i dont even consider myself human anymore, and i guess im right about that, if these people around me at school are humans.

i really want to make my parents proud, but i cant tell them about what im thinking. you know those cheesy quotes about "we're all in the same boat together"? that really doesnt apply to me. my thoughts im sure are nowhere near those a human would think, but then again i dont really want to be considered a human what with the things i always see on the news.

i feel i cant honor my parents if this problem keeps up. i dont know what to do...


does that count as a failure? :/

Everyday.

I fail in any and all kinds of relationships.

I kinda fail at social anything. It makes me sad sometimes.

My relatives see me too highly too. They seem to think I'm a good model for hard work, but I don't work hard nor do I deserve that kind of praise.
