I've had a bad day and no one to talk to... and all I can do is create a random thread which probably I'll try to delete later =/

Hey Lore.

Great song though!

I went through a phase where I listened to it all the time.

yeahh it's a great song... I haven't listened to the song that much, but I like it

So do you need to rant/vent about your bad day?

Hey Lore, I hate to hear you having a bad day...

 

R.E.M.

Why Not Smile

 

The concrete broke your fall

To hear you speak of it

I'd have done anything

I would do anything

I feel like a cartoon brick wall

To hear you speak of it

You've been so sad

It makes me worry

Why not smile?

You've been sad for a while

Why not smile?

I would do anything

To hear you speak of it

Why not smile?

You've been sad for a while

You've been sad for a while

 

I hope your day gets better....

yeah, maybe it'll sound just like a tiny problem but I feel bad about it...

 

I just received a really bad grade at uni.. sometimes I deserve bad grades, I know it... but when I do study and then get an awful grade is when I think that I'm really bad at everything I do.. I'm not a good student or a good friend or whatever , I'm not really good at anything and that makes me feel sad... also I'm sick of doing the same things everyday I hate so much the routine, and it's seems that there's nothing I can do about it :(

wow, thanks a lot... really nice lyrics !

oh Lore it's funny that I can find myself in a similiar situation currently...I quit uni, I am bored as hell, because I have no job and therefore no money...I apply for jobs and always get nos...makes me feel the same like you....as if I was bad at everything...it sucks so much.....the worst thing is the routine of being bored...

 

so, I hope you'll feel better soon Lorepie:kiss:

wow, thanks a lot... really nice lyrics !

You quoted one of my favorite bands songs. So, I thought Id share the lyrics to one of my favs. Its from their VERY underated albums UP.

 

You are normally cheerful and I enjoy reading your posts. So, I wish you the best for the day. We all have "those" days, I know I have my share. Music often makes a shit day less shit for me.

 

You have friends in places you never knew...

Don't worry Lore, its not just a tiny problem. I think its safe to know I know how you feel/what you mean. Sometimes you know you're going to get a bad mark, and other times you study your butt off but still do bad. Last year I wrote a paper, spent so much time on it, and still go a horrible grade and I was really upset and just wanted to give up on the class.

And yeah, its so hard in university because you're surrounded by all these smart people that are better and smatter than you (Well they can't all be, can they? haha).

 

And I'm dealing with a friend now who said a similar thing, about her not being smart, not being good at anything...stuff like that. I just told her that its not true, and that shes just being lied to/ lieing to herself. I think its a big thing that people our age deal with, just feeling insignificant. One thing I did this summer when I was feeling unimportant/useless/discourages I sat down and wrote down every good thing that happened in the summer. Wrote down cool conversations with people, times that I made people laugh etc.

 

If you look enough, you'll see that you are important to many people, and you are loved. And although you may not excel in areas that people around you do, well you're still special in your own way.

God this post is so true.

 

He's right Lore, think of all the goos things in your life. I often do that when I feel useless and afterwards I am always happy about being who I am. It definitely helps.

Its funny Julia, because my friend I'm talking about was going through a similar thing as you.

Well we were best of friends for a couple years, but the past few months have been rough, but finally last week we were just honest and cleared things up which was really good.

 

But similar thing with her, not going to univeristy this year, not being able to find a job, etc.

But she found one last week! Which is exciting...so keep trying. Something will come up eventually.

I don't really know what to say but I appreciate a lot all your words, ... I think that probably I'll just try to relax and listen to some music for a little while

yeahh Jules, you'll find a job! try to enjoy the free time anyway.. it's always good

Grades are just a small snap shot in the whole photo album... Dont fret.

 

I know this. Whenever I see a new post from you. 80% of the time its something I didnt konw. Its awesome new information about Coldplay or some other item of interest that I otherwise might never had heard about. You make a difference to me and contribute more than your share to my favorite website.

 

Thank you Lore, I appreciate your just being you!

hehe I'll definitely keep trying. I've been searching since may...and still haven't found anything...my parents say often enough that I don't try hard enough which is not really true...I can't tell you for how many jobs I've already applied...:dozey:

 

Oh I'll definitely enjoy my free-time Lore...actually I've planned many things I could do in this time, but the problem is that I always need money for these things which I don't have without a job ahhhh

I hope you feel better soon Lore! :D, And JUST SMILE! :D

Awww Lowe, cheer up :kiss: I'll record some muse jam for you later and hey guess who finished uplading a muse dvd? :wacko: Maybe that will cheer you up so check the muse d/l thread in a few mins :P

thankies simon.. and renny... I'm sure matt is able to cure everything :p

Yup and he's waiting for you in the muse media section :dance:

:dead:

threads like this remind me of why i spend so much time on this forum :nice:

 

lore, even though bad grades make you feel awful, really in the long run it doesn't make any difference. in 20 years, you might remember you got a really crap mark in that class, but it won't have made ANY bearing on where you end up. and everyone gets shit grades from time to time, even brainiacs. in the end, you're still going to get your degree--a few bad grades won't change the sort of degree you get or how qualified you are for what you do.

 

anyway, the long-run perspective always helps me out with stuff like that. i really hope you feel better soon. coldplay always does wonders for me :D

I've heard it said that university is where A students teach mainly B students how to work for C students. In my limited experience it seems to be true- the people who are the most successful are the ones who didn't necessarily get very good grades or fit into the academic box, but who had a lot of talents that school of any kind can't teach or quantify. Grades don't have much to do with who you are or aren't.

 

I know how you feel though... I just got a test back today that I thought I had aced, and it turns out I don't really even know how to do a couple of the major problems on it. :embarassed: :tongue: Hooray for more extra studying this week. :bomb:

^^^ Listen to space cadet here!!!!

 

That is the biggest truth ever.... I graduated from uni a couple of years ago, and i was NEVER a straight A student. I wasn't even close to be the best of my class: i payed attention, worked hard and still graduated as an average student. However, my teachers did noticed my hard work, and thanks to one of them i got my first job, and later on helped me to get the one i have right now.

And where are the 'smart kids' now?? Working their ass off at random companies, trying to get a decent pay.

I don't believe grades matter as much as 'public relations'. Take advantage of uni to make friends with people your age, teachers and everybody else.

Don't let a bad grade stop you. Just keep on going, have fun while you're there and don't worry too much!!!!

This thread title pretty much sums me up this evening. Nothing like feeling tired and icky and having bad weather to make you look that way too. :tongue:
