I can't find a job anywhere, I've been to about 50 places in the last three weeks (and more before that), and noone is hiring or taking applications. Noone can afford it I guess.
I'm no longer a college student.
My mom's checks bounced and they won't accept any more, so I lost all my classes, and now I have to wait 'til fall.
Fuck it.
I had some kind of panic attack or something at my girlfriend's house. It started with me just not feeling well, then I couldn't focus on anything, I kept seeing double, and I was like hallucinating or something, about four times during different conversations with my girlfriend, if I closed my eyes at all, I'd see something that wasn't there, but talk about it anyway, and confuse the hell out of her. She had to go to her cousin's house for a birthday party and I was supposed to go, but I couldn't keep my balance, so I fell asleep in her bed. Later on when she got home, I tried getting up and blacked out. I couldn't drive like this, so her parents let me sleep on the couch.
Yeah. I'm intercourse ed. As of yesterday I became a total loser or something.
...That's not good. Not even Wal Mart is hiring? That's a switch.
That sounds extremely bad. If you haven't, go see a doctor etc.
Also, whatever you do, don't go an hero D:
I forgot to mention that I can focus now, but still feel like vomiting.
Don't go an hero?

Do go an hero?
NONONONONONONO ;-;
Everyone will mourn your death, it'd suck.
Typo'd. Don't?
What does go an hero mean?
Says the Level 35 Emo Kid. Well, I hope you feel better.
Go an hero means committing suicide. Some stupid meme that only idiots use, really. :\

Hey, when I sigh, people come to their knees in praise D:
Ahh. Lame.
Nah, suicide is for intercourse tards, imo. No offense if anyone you know offed themselves. Never worth it.
Besides, I still have my girlfriend and that's some light in the dark.
But not having school OR work sucks balls. Srsly.

don't work at walmart ever, I would rather die in the street then work at a walmart again
Welcome to the recession!! Business are not going to hire you, because you have some college experience and you're young! You aren't long term material! They want long term material, that has no college education! They're cheaper work-force! Why don't you take out student loans!? I have to take student loans out! I plan to stay in college till the recession is over! Even if I have to take two majors!
Yeah, I heard working at Wal Mart is a bad mistake, no matter what.
The reason why most places aren't hiring is because Stores are trying to get back money they
may have lost over the holiday season....... November-December.
Retail atleast Cut hours during this time because they spend So much of it during the holiday season (sales and giving out hours to employees), that the next month they highly cut back everything.
1 of the last things they'll do is hire more people to take away the money they are trying to get back.
You can still of course find a job, it's a tad bit more difficult around this time. :(
I'm sorry to hear about your hard time R_R.
Despite all the bad crap that has happened to me after my birthday, your situation seems to be more concerning.
It'll get better, a solution always arises when a person is up against a dire situation.
Being patient, and looking for alternatives is your best answer.
I also don't believe your a loser.
I'm sure you accomplished wayyy to much in your life to be considered such a thing.
You could be doing worst.
Uhh...try Subway, McDonald's...just any fast food place. There's got to be at least ONE that's hiring. Or try to get financial aid, quickly. www.fastweb.com (http://www.fastweb.com) is a good place to start.
But I know how you feel about the job thing...I've tried dozens of places, and I never get anywhere with them. :(
That really sucks. At least you have a girlfriend; so try to keep that alive.
I'm sure there's some fast food chain or grocery store that's hiring somewhere near you. Just keep searching.
Hopefully everything turns out good. :)
You people act like working at Wal Mart is living death, and I really don't see why... I'd rather have a job at Wal Mart than have no job at all. But I have a summer job with Subway, so I'm fine for now.

low end service sector jobs are horrible... (fast food, wal-mart, department stores, etc.)
only ppl who have had them know how bad they are.
Unless it's a hundred percent need a job no one would do those jobs.

He has worked there.
Also, although retail certainly has its bad moments, I often find myself enjoying it. You just can't things too seriously.
Eh, it could be a lot worse. And you have to lower your standards. If you go into a job like Subway with a smile on your face and not overly high expectations, you'll find it's pretty fun work. Even retail isn't too bad at all.
However, it does depend on your tastes. Being that you have to wait until fall, I'd suggest City Crew or maintenance. Painting lines on highways begins soonish, grating and removing snow, river watch and maintenance, etc. Of course, that means you need to be someone like me that enjoys that work. Pays well.

To be fair, I worked in the bakery, but it was still kind of fun. Seriously, 3 generations of my family has worked at Wal Mart, and only my grandmother had a problem with them... and that was because they made her smile at work.
Anyway, like Mack said, if you really need a job, than you really can't snub an available because it's not up to your standards. My government teacher knows a woman with a masters in aeronautical engineering who's working at a gas station because that's the only job she could get. This really isn't the time to be picky...
And now, no girlfriend.
So, now what?

what did you do?
Nothing. She just doesn't know how to handle a relationship and ended it randomly after 3 and a half months. Did the same thing to her last ex but after a month.

She's obviously not mature enough to date. I wouldn't feel too bad if I were you, though it's still a bit of a letdown.

Sounds like my ex. "I need a break /wrists" Next thing I know, she's with another guy- and she hasn't killed herself yet either D:
Boiler set fire, no more hot water and the house smells like oil until we get a new one. God knows when that'll be. I'm intercourse ing freezing.
No more cell phone, there goes contact to most of my friends.
I can't catch a break, can I?

so when people say "there is always someone worse off" thats you?
There's an old saying that I heard a long time ago, and it's as true as they get.
"For things to get better, they must get worse".
It's kinda like a retarded roller coaster or something.
I know where you're coming from, though. My family and I have gone through really tough financial problems as well. At one point, we had absolutely NO money. We had bills to pay, and we couldn't pay them. We went through almost a month without electricity, and it was during the summer. Heat rising to 115, sometimes 120. Thankfully we had a gas stove, but all the food we had in our fridge went bad, and .. well, didn't have the money to get any more.
We lost all our money because my dad was just finishing going through his second divorce, and the intercourse ing ninny decided to close our bank account, because they had a joint account. She had stolen ALL of our money, including my dad's inheritance money, which was $250 grand from my grandpa, and even stole and sold my most valued possessions a intercourse ing garage sale behind our backs. He fought tooth and nail to get that account back open, and it took almost a week to 2 weeks. Today, my family and I are still poor. We barely make ends meet, and usually we can't make bills. My family back in Vegas don't have any internet or cable, and just a week ago we had no service on our cell phones. Lately, we had to go to our relatives for financial help.
Don't stress out too much. Last thing you need is another panic attack, or worse, you know? You gotta try to keep calm. Sometimes poop happens that's out of your control, and that's life. But you gotta do what you can, and try hard. If you fall down, pick yourself off, dust off your sholders, and try again. Just don't stress too much. And I know that's like, easier said that done, right? But it can be done.
I'm here if you ever need someone to vent to.
Dude I feel for you man my family has had so trouble but we all roughed it out and now things are better oh and no girlfriend means less nagging...
oh and just think of Eye of the Tiger...
Any day above the ground is a good day.
I'm not going to say things will suddenly turn around for you, or any silver lining nonsense.
Just hang tough and you'll pull through, things will get better.
