[T] The Hideout

If wisdom comes with age then I must be wise as hell....I am going to be 26 in August! :gonk: I feel like a damn old man sometimes, my knees hurt trying to get out of chairs. If I stand for too long my back starts feeling hurt. It sucks getting old, :sad3: and I am not even technically old yet!
 
Yeah I remember turning 21, I bought a bottle of scotch and drank about a third of it and threw up (was honestly my first time drinking). Fun times though :wacky:, nowadays I can handle my liquor a little better. And even if drinking isn't your game 21 is still a milestone, your probably in college (or maybe starting if you took some time off after high school) and maybe in a somewhat serious relationship. Either way you are correct after 21 the shit just rolls down hill with you in front.
 
Everything you have mentioned there is something I am not doing, I wouldn't mind going back to college, but the fees would absolutely cripple me :sad3: still very much single and not much of a drinker. May have Royal Marines (British Armed Forces) this year if I stop being lazy and getting up at 1pm everyday (starts Monday) suppose that's the only thing to look forward too now. As well as getting a part-time job somewhere. :wacky:
 
:sad3: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that was how your life was supposed to be by now. I guess it was more a generalization of what I guessed some younger peoples lives had turned out. Trust me when I was 21 the only one I could tag onto myself was I was in a serious relationship, and I am still in it right now too. :) I am not a heavy drinker, and I failed at college. So it's really okay if you dont have everything all set in stone by now, because you still have a time to get all your ducks in a row so to speak.
 
Fuck everyone elses exceptions. :griin: Do what you want to do, and live how you want to live.

I'm 21 years old (almost 22), and I've been in a serious relationship that was ended because that women went psycho. :elmo: That was a 4 year relationship, and even today as I go out on dates, I can't seem to find a woman I want to stick with. I drink often, and I love my job. Seriously, my job is kick ass. :ryan:

It is what everyone wanted me to do, hell no. They get angry at me when I tell them that I literally cannot give away details about my job. However, like I said, fuck their exceptions. Life is what you want it to be, and what you're willing to make it. Spend your time trying to please others, and you'll never know what you want. :mokken:
 
That last line really slapped me in the face last year. I tended to try please others then, but now I'm just all for doing things the way I want. Needless to say, some people are shocked. :wacky:

Don'y worry about it :andry: I sort of have my life planned out. get a Part - time job and the royal - marines is my main priority at the minute, I'm also working to become a journalist in the Video Game and Film industry :wacky: but that's a hard thing to become with no academic qualifications besides GCSEs and a few A levels. pretty straight forward really but job hunting is a bitch! :sad3:
 
Job hunting really IS a bitch. I know I'm lucky to have the job I've got right now, but I absolutely loathe it. The boss is a cunt who cheats you out of your holidays and thinks he's bigger than anyone that sets foot in the shop.

Getting a new job is also one of my New Year's resolutions. :awesome:
 
Job hunting IS a bitch. I'm looking everywhere, but finding nothing.

I mean, I can get a flat/house with my friend, and pay for that with my savings over summer and then pay for it with my student loan after October, but still, that's just backup money, a job would be preferable.

I shocked most of my family by moving to the halls this year; most of them expected me to stay at home till I'd finished Uni, I learned.

Same here, rather fed up of it now to be honest. just gonna focus on trying to becom a Journalist (wish me luck :wacky: ), got a blog on the go now. gonna start doing youtube videos soon as well.

You've gotta start somewhere :neomon:
 
Don't you have to go to University to be a Journalist?

Although, I wouldn't be so sure there, my friend was ranting how pointless she thinks that course is the other day :lew: (Along with Media Studies.)
 
I'm not entirely sure if you have to go to Uni to do that. I can see your friend's point of view because even with qualifications nowadays, it seems to amount to nothing when it comes to getting a job and more on experience and such.
 
Exactly why I'm considering not going to Uni. If i do go, it'll be a Media Studies course. It'll literally be a reason to take it easy for another few years before I throw myself in the working world. And get myself in debt in the process. NOT WORTH IT :rage: They can't even bribe me with the contacts either, I've already got them, AND I've heard they don't even bother using the contacts in the end half of the time.
 
I've already got contacts from the tutors I've been with. Either my degree's going to get me a placement in the BBC or I'm going for teaching. Either way, I've got a plan. :ryan:
 
I don't think you need many qualifications obviously they are an advantage when applying for a job, but it is mainly down to experience these days, I'm working on a portfolio at the minute, and just try posting on blogs and such. I'll be focusing on it more when I get a job as I need a steady income for now.
 
Getting online nowadays does a heck of a lot more than most, if not all, methods. For instance, my tutor was telling our class last week about an author that managed to advertise his published book through social networking alone. That's amazing. :gasp:
 
Youtube is a massive example, look at Justin Beiber and Esmee Denters if it weren't for youtube them getting a record deal would of been a heck of alot harder. even people that don't get a career out of posting videos can still become famous, take some of the Machinima Directors. They are weel known all over the internet now :mokken:
 
Eternal Sonata is a great RPG. I'd forgotten how much fun it was. It's very traditional, but it manages to be modern as well; I'm loving the storyline.

I loathe only having three characters in a battle though, there are at least seven I want to use :lew:
