Computer Science. I didn't even make it one month and my depression got so terrible, I could not even take in any information, and I didn't have any motivation to do assignments. And my dumb ass was trying to get away from my parents so I signed up for campus housing (it was technically off-campus, but it's owned by the university.) and by the first night, I got terrible anxiety attacks and I kinda got paranoid that people would murder me when I sleep (ya know, those news stories about murder in college, thats why I'm paranoid), so I couldn't even sleep until 3AM the first night. Oh, did I mention I have to share a room with someone? Yea that kinds suck. And my first class was next day at like 9:10AM, and since I had practically no sleep, I woke up at like 8AM and felt anxious af and there's no breakfast at the residence hall besides a vending machine so if I want to eat, I'd have to get to the campus. And I didn't even know how the shuttle bus/vans even work and I downstairs at 8:30AM to wait for the shuttles. Then I got there at 8:55 so I thought: Hmm lets get some breakfast, and there's nothing I liked so I just got some chips anyways, even though chips isn't even real breakfast food. But then before I knew it, it was already like 9:07AM so i panicked and finished my bag of chips (2nd bag of chips btw) and rushed to the classroom (I don't know why I always imagine those big lecture halls you about college in the media, but here its just classrooms) and got there like a few minutes late, it was the first day so professor didn't even care. I felt a bit like: Did I just come late the first day? Fuuuuck!

So that's my first day. Then it just goes downhill since I couldn't adapt to the situation I had to go home on the second day of college, just to time out a bit, then I just got into a habit of sending weekends at home and only weekdays in the residence hall but I also go home on Tuesday or Wednesday night because I'm anious af. And I had to restart my antidepressants because it just keeps getting worse. And at one point I just got so sad I took my entire bottle of antidepressants, in my college apartment room. But like I didn't get a reaction or anything, just felt a bit "high" for the next 24 hours, nobody even noticed, so like I didn't go to a hospital or anything. This was like the second week. So by the first week of the second month of college, I couldn't do it anymore. I missed so much assignments I couldn't ever catch up. I wanna jump of a bridge. So I just told my mom about it and she "okayed" me pausing college. But the tuition couldn't be refunded because it was a bit too late at that point so she was out like $8000 dollars (it was a state university, and I live in state) for the semester. So basically from that point on, I was a dissappointment to her. Every week she reminds me how I wasted her money. I mean I don't think I can ever fix depression. I feel like depression made my IQ drop like 10 points. If college had an IQ test (thankfully they don't) I probably wouldn't be allowed to be re-admitted.

Anyways, I know people love to leave their parents as soon as they can. But you never know if you are actually capable of doing it until you try. I couldn't even do it with all my expenses paid by my parents, I definitely wouldn't be able to if I had to fund myself. The future just seems so bleak to me. Like I can't even function as a human being.

Sorry for the wall of text... wait, did I just write an essay of my life story? Ahh... I wish I had this motivation when I was still in college.

My advice is, always keep the original and give your employer the copy of any evidence. Only give the original to a court when it gets to a legal proceeding. (Even then, you still keep an extra copy for yourself. Courts don't typically lose evidence, but an extra copy doesn't hurt.)

Yea

Edit: Well, Google search isn't default and Fennec probably has less trackers.

I use All/Hot, but whenecer I post something, I immediately switch to New to verify if my post is up and federated, and I just so happen to see this post. But in all other cases, its probably just nobody had anything to say until I started commenting. I refresh Lemmy like every 5 minutes so I probably see posts before many people. Most people are at their jobs, but I'm just a depressed college student currently taking a year off so I actually have energy to either continue college or get a job. Most people don't have as much free time as I do.

Did someone comment this already? Well in that case it probably did not federate to my instance.

It doesn't matter what the package says. When you buy something, you should look for signs of tampering before you check out. And when you film yourself opening a sealed box, and something goes wrong, now you have evidence. Laws supercede store policies. Most countries laws would allow you get get back your money especially with evidence.

Maybe if you open like a cereal box, you don't need to bother. But opening a new smartphone? I think it's worth the annoyance of filming yourself opening it. If you don't film it, best case scenario, you save a little bit of time, worst case scenario, you lose out on hundreds of dollars because it was damaged or missing.

Meh, laws that benefit some people are often gonna to negatively impact others, like corporations, or people who like their phone's "aesthetic". You can't please everyone. The EU parliament voted for this so I assume people want this. If they don't want it, they could always make another vote to repeal it later on.
