Yeah. I'm in college but I can't buy myself a $0.25 scantron sheet for my test next week. Now my shame is likely going to be public. >_>

And don't worry, I'm going to make sure I am what I need to be by my 'deadlines'. I am simply not getting good results fast enough, and am basically a sub-human being at the moment until I get everything really moving, which requires funds on my part. I do not think attending college is actually going to enable me to do anything meaningful, and I do not think it makes my lack of human dignity any more excusable.

I know it will happen eventually, it will just happen too late, and until then I should be mad at myself. But I don't want to give the impression that just complain and don't do anything; I am always trying, but effort by itself doesn't mean shit.

I know I'm being annoying by doing what you told me not to do, and I understand where you're coming from. I just have very high standards for myself and if I'm going to achieve my vision I need to be this harsh.
Dude, you arent running out of time. It took my brother 7 years to get one degree. He lives in a nice house, has a nice job, can afford to vacation yearly in Europe, etc etc. Chin up.
No, its cool for you to have high standards, I guess I just don't want you to exasperate yourself. If you keep going and you aren't getting super discouraged I guess you're doing alright. I just try to let things come as they will these days. (Although sometimes I could definitely use more of your hard-working attitude.)

At least you're going to college though, I feel like its just worse if you aren't.
You just need to learn to be more positive and take things with the right perspective. Not having a job at 18 while going to school isn't an incredibly shameful thing that warrants the degree of self-hatred you seem to be having over that. It happens, it's not a big deal. School is more important than a shitty dead end job.

I was a lot like you at your age. I had impossibly high standards of perfection towards myself and if things didn't go exactly how I envisioned it I put all of the blame onto myself. Not everything is your fault and not everything is in your control. It's okay even if you mess up. Just keep doing what you can to get yourself to where you want to be, it'll happen eventually as long as you keep at it.
Meanwhile I'm working towards a degree in the thing I always wanted to do but marks and other stuff make me question whether it's really where I should be heading.
I start working in a few weeks. Gonna be fun.

I'm doing a double bachelor in Multimedia and Science, double majoring in Games and Interactivity and Computer Science and Software Engineering.
Oh, wow, a double major.

Maybe you should try scaling back how many classes you take a semester? I realize that means you'll be in school longer, but it may be better to get top marks in fewer classes than to get decent marks in more classes. Confusedhrug:
