I understand Lime, life isn't all colorful, there is always some black and white, life isn't easy sometimes.. I'm in collage as well but don't know what I want and I'm struggling so I know how you feel, I want to make a business but it's not easy in America sometimes to make a successful business when you start one, so I feel collage to me is a safety net in case me real dreams fail.. And that scares me a lot. I have stress and get depressed sometimes thinking about it but I try my best keeping positive, I'm here for you Lime if you ever want to chat or vent because I know exactly what your going through..

I'm pretty sure it's better then Korea. make a business in Korea is almost suicide. gamble.
...people leans to major company... look our Samsung and LG. ...we call Korea 'Republic of Samsung'...as a joke. ...
anyway, yes. College degree is just another insurance. some fancy card board that many people like to see.
It's hard to not fear about failur. fear about lose something. losing money, losing time, effort that you put into it...
Korea is so hopeless. So many people suicide. hopeless. no dream. no future. no more marriage. no more job. no more whatever good things except bad things.
...That's why I keep planning about escape this place... to find better place.

Oh dang, I didn't know it was that bad to make a business there. What do you mean by escape like move out of the country?

Yeah I mentioned about [moving out] quite many times I think.
I'd love to move into Chile and live with my friend...  pentalis

That would be nice ^~^ would be a good thing to get a different environment, probably will help you feel better ^^ I hope you do go to Chile Lime

Those sound similar to my own aspirations.
Allow me to tell you a word of warning: in the United States as well as Latin America, teachers are underpaid and overworked. If you study to become a teacher to help society, you will feel powerless to change the things that are really wrong with education; all your sacrifice will be spent simply following instructions on how to teach (by the authorities) with little freedom to make your student's life better beyond what you are told to do. You always have the freedom to be rebellious, and to be burned for that.

Sadly, if you are just about to enter college, you have no way of knowing what that life feels like until you truly live it. If you feel the same as me for teaching, you will love it no matter the conditions, no matter if you teach in the ghetto or not; but the powerlessness is opressing. Teachers are just pawns of a broken education systems, whose reins are held by people who have never taught in a classroom. This needs to change, and we are the ones who must change it. But you have to know what you're getting into. If you want to be an educator, be prepared to really change the system; or you and future generations will live in the same mountain of shit.

That's all.


Source: I'm a scientist and a science teacher. Well... 'was'. I quit both. You already have an idea of why.

Ahh, I love both ~v~

For me I've became happy with friends and family despite little possessions and money. Even with an education in the United States it's very limited to get that career as a job so either people get mediocre part time jobs to cover bills or they're forced to go back to college to get a career they hate.

In my case... I'm basicly poor. I refuse to attend any college in America due to the for profit bullshit system thats already in place. The whole country is ruled by a handfull of billionaires who have an insatiable hunger for money. They would kill and cause wars just to make an extra buck, I digress though. I refuse to attend college here to avoid a lifetime of infinite financial debit. Its not worth it I feel.

So instead, I go a freelance route with my music. I intend to accomplish my goal of living comfortably doing what I love: exercising my creativity to make just enough to have a stable income, nothing more or less. I seek joy in life, to pay it all forward, share my happiness with anyone I possibly can and to hell with the negatives in life. To me, nothing is hopeless as long as I have the drive to follow my dreams no matter what. Never give up ^v^

You can still live without going college. but in Korea, if you don't graduate College, you are worthless piece of shit. not even human. ...that's why I'm dealing with this college shit <_>...
hope your life goes well..! both of us!

Hey, If you ever need a wing to lean on or just talk to, message me ^v^ If I help you tackle the challenges of your situation with your head held high and with a will of steel, I'll do my best. To me, everyone deserves to be happy

Yes ^v^.. I'll send you note to let you know my Telegram and Skype ID

Unfortunately, my circumstances limit me to using internet only on my Nintendo 3ds, as such I do not have access to any sort of instant messaging system ;v; but I can at least communicate through notes here now and then.

Life is about cookies, tons and tons of cookies. Sorry trying to make ya crack a smile X3

8}
Then how can i give a beak job to my customers? >v>

Very carefully? X3

I have same feeling as you.

I know some people are very depressed, and lost his way and suicide, even though he is rich. I also know some people is full of joy even though he has too few money. I heard that some people is the poor remaining only money (I mean"只剩下錢的窮人")

I am often unhappy of lacking money to buy something I need. But some people said: Happiness is a choice. Money is not everything.

Something I have been thinking for a period: I hate my country because I understand my country very much; but I like those oversea countries because I don't know the truth of those countries/b]. Example in my experience[b](Sorry, it's too long><;):

1. My parent has an elementary school student always said that he likes China so much. But after his trip of China, he started complaining the Chinese are rude and dirty and terrible and no manners....etc. That is what he complaints.

2. My bro's classmate (if I remember) after two travelling in China, he never wants to go to China anymore.

3. A classmate of a society, lives in Guangdong of China 13 years since he is young, until he came to the high school I study after he is 14.
I asked him before: (translate to English) You think China or Malaysia is better?
He: Malaysia is better.....
He told me a lot of experience he lives in Guangdong, and I found that: Malaysia is better than China, according to his opinion.

4. Hong Kong hates China, you know? but Too few Malaysian know the truth. Some Hong Kong people tell you: 你唔係香港人，你唔會明白。(You are not from Hong Kong, you won't understand.) Well, you can watch《 十年》The recent movie that China banned, to understand what they think: http://youtu.be/M4zebygSaZE.

5. Everyone think different.
"Iran is beautiful. And the people are good." said a people from Asia.
"Books are cheap in Taiwan! The food are cheap and fresh too! it is easy to ride buses!" said my parent.
"Australia is beautiful. The food are cheap. The people are good! And Malaysians live in Melbourne." said Malaysians.
"Israel can product food to the whole world! The fruits and vegetables are big! There are beautiful! " said people I know.
"I like Hong Kong, I want to live in Hong Kong". said a Malaysian student.
"Wow! Malaysia is big! The people are good! The room are big! But I can't go anywhere without car." said my Hong Kong grandparent.
"Hong Kong is rude... they are always in a hurry. They don't apologize when they crash me..." Said a class prefect.
"I know what is life...." Said a famous Malaysian enjoying Japanese food in Japan. Well, watch "Best In The World Japan" to understand what he means.
"Japan is Patriarchal, I dislike there. I won't live there." said a classmate with Japanese name, whose father is Japanese.
"I won't go back to Malaysia, I want to live in Japan" then the Malay gives 34 reasons to leave Malaysia.
wow, I don't understand muc, because I didn't live there before.

Malaysia is going to be like China, since our Najib did something WOW~~! Well I think you know what happened between Najib Razak and The Wall Street Journal. This news is popular.
However, Malaysia is the 47th happiest country in the world., I can't believe that! Well, the happy forever Malays...You have read the list of happiest countries in the world 2016, right?

thank you for reading...=v=

It seems turning 24 makes you vent in a journal as well XD

18, 24, 30, and any age over 55 lead to venting xD

As Nietzsche said, God is dead. So these thoughts come to your head. "Why the strife? What's good life? Deep pockets and a pretty wife?" The answer - Lime - shows in time; to pick for you would be a crime. Please just bide your time and ride along in life 'til you decide the reason why. So don't cry. Until you pick the point for you, just try.
