Going home and getting tested in a couple months to see if I have a heart malformation that might kill me in twenty years. :D
If it makes you feel any better, your avatar amused the shit out of me for about 10 minutes.

Honestly, I am dreading my second semester of my sophomore year of college. My grades for my first half were terrible (failed two of my classes, but got B's in my other two.) and I found out that I have to retake a class I took during the summer because even though I passed it, I didn't get a high enough grade to qualify for my CS courses that I need to start in the fall, and the campus of Kent State I attend only had one session for that class which was completely full so I had to take it at the main campus which is way more expensive.

Feminist and SJW bullshit, my boyfriend's disrespectful mother, figuring out how to health insurance under the God awful Obamacare regulations, the continuous idiocy of extremist Muslims/ISIS, America becoming even more pussified under liberal control, blacks blaming whites for their problems, women blaming "The Patriarchy" for their problems. It's fair to say that I'm a very cynical person.

Since we already have the opposite topic up :). Can be anything - music, movies, games or life in general.

For me...

Life:
- Beginning to date again. While the prospect of having a new ladyfriend is awesome, the uncertainly, stress and possibility of rejection do not get any easier as you get older.
- Taxes, pension fees, car maintenance and inspection fees and bills in general.
- Having to travel by plane for 20 hours to see my family at Christmas. Love my family, am not a good flyer.
Ok so I assume you're out of college so maybe you can help me. I want to start dating but I do not know where to go looking for single women. I heard the advice of 'meet people through your friends' and I have met a few women but haven't gotten dates, but more importantly the times where I do meet new women through my friends are few and far between. So where are you looking?

You're worried about America becoming pussified? Obama isn't that big of a liberal in all honesty, when he first got into office he wasn't in favor of gay marriage, and he's in favor of some conservative restrictions to freedom in the name of terrorist hunting.

Plus there's been a deadlocked Congress and now a Republican controlled Congress, which means more deadlocked. Anything that does get passed will be centrist stuff or stuff that took compromises in other areas.

Getting older, even though I vowed to not get older after my last birthday, fact remains that I will be 36. Ugh...

As someone who lives in the UK, I am really, really not looking forward to the general election this year. My greatest fear is that the majority of 'the population' (as in the reality tv watching idiots) will vote ukip in because they're all for getting out of Europe and banning all those filthy foreign people.
Agreed, I look at all four of our potential "leaders" and I don't think I want any of them running the country. There is no one worth voting for.

Add to the fact that some lump of wood named William knocked up his clothes horse wife which means that there be a baby born at some point this year and this will be the only thing the media will want to talk about because apparently this has never happened to anyone ever in the history of the world. This means for me, total media blackout for at least 2 weeks after the event as I don't want to see or hear anything more about it.

Oh Jesus, I forgot about that. Are we going to have another media vigil outside the hospital where reporters are forced to, well, report that fuck all has actually happened in the forty seconds since they last gave an update like the last time we had a royal baby?

Adding to that, the twin terrors of The Voice and "celebrity" big brother have just started again, which means we're mere weeks away from a new series of Britain's got Talent. Which once again reminds me why I never watch TV.

The new Zelda

not the game I'm sure that will be great, but the fans, they will either take one of two incredibly annoying extremes.

1: Any review that's not a 10 out of 5 stars will be slammed as being 'biased against nintendo'

2: it will be the death of the series (for what, the 8th time I think) due to it not meeting their impossibly high standards

Getting one year closer to graduating from high school. Best time of your life my ass. My grades, health, social life have all been in a downward spiral, and now you're telling me I have to make some of the most important decisions of my life?

Oh, and living through another year of my mother's thinly veiled disgust for my gaming hobby. And the realization that at one point I will have to stop that gaming hobby. And finishing puberty. And getting a date for prom. And having to buy all those games and watch all those movies. And doing well enough this year to get a scholarship for college.

Yes, I am a pessimist.

Starting my new job.
It's night shift (12 am to 7 am) and I have trouble with sleep. I just got used to waking up in the morning and now I have to change it back.
Afraid I won't sleep enough, which is causing me anxiety which is preventing me from sleeping. Coupled with the fact I'm trying to cut back on my "medicine", it's going to be hard until I get used to it.
I just thank God I'm not an insomniac and I feel for those that are.
I feel your pain. I just got off a 2-month stint working from 23:30 to 08:00. I, too, just got used to waking up in the morning right before I was hired for this new job. That was for holiday "Peak" hours though; my schedule only recently changed from midnight to 04:00.

On my days off I would find myself waking up at 9 PM and staying up until 8 AM anyway. I was off sync from the rest of the world, and I felt physically exhausted on my two days off, so badly that I might as well have gone into work. Everything else in my life fell by the wayside. I found myself taking 2-3 hour "naps" at random. Other times I could sense in my brain that I was about to pass out, just as one could sense when you're about to sneeze.

Other ill effects included waking up at 6-7 PM and having a mild panic attack because I didn't know if it was morning or evening. And my eyesight started to fail because I didn't see sunlight for so long. It's gotten better though.

Since my schedule just changed, I tried this trick I learned a few months ago to reset my sleeping patterns. It didn't work so well this time as I find myself sleeping only for 6 hours or so a night.
Ugh, I feel your pain. Currently my job is basically split shifts, starting anywhere from 8-12, ending between 2-5 and then night shift ending anywhere from 7-10. Destroys my sleep schedule and very difficult to reset.
