    This is going to be a rant just warning you. I haven’t had good luck in the dating department and have had a few bad experiences the past year and have made me jaded. Ever since my recent break up, my co-workers have been talking behind my back about how I have become more “negative and snippy”, which honestly is a slap in the face because they didn’t have the courage to say it to my face, like my ex boyfriend when he broke up with me (through text message) this hurts the most. My past relationships have taught me that I should call people out on things, which I didn’t in the past so I might as well start doing it now. My friend claims that they’re (the other co-workers) trying to help me but I don’t see it because they’ve been talking behind my back. I’m so tired of being deceived and being texted this shit, and not being told in person.

    I feel like I can’t do anything I set my mind to and don’t work hard for anything. School work has always been a struggle, learning something new has always been a struggle so I usually quit and never make anything of myself. I, with lots of protest, graduated community college but that was like hell for whatever reason. I have average intelligence I think but accomplishing something that takes work is hard for me and I usually end up quitting. I want to go back to college and finish my bachelor’s degree and I enjoy learning- it’s just when it gets tough I hate it. I’ve applied to a few state schools, but I really want to apply to this private school but I need many more materials to go with my application such as letters of recommendation and things that honestly seem impossible to get.

    I even have a crush on a guy who probably won’t ever commit to me and is unattainable. My friends are beginning to hate me, I have no real ambition and my love life is a lost cause hahaha.

    Hi April,

    I’m sorry you’re having such a tough time.

    The reason why people don’t approach you directly is because they think that they will cause more harm to you if they confront you. At least that’s why I would do it. Gossiping is also a form of bonding. If you weren’t there they’d just find someone else to gossip about! The best you can do is ignore the hens in the office, and silently thank your ex for letting you go with minimal drama.

    The schools and life ~ what I do is meet the tough time in advance. So for classes I would do all the reading right away. At the same time I would review my notes every day. And write the papers months in advance. Then I would have two different people edit them. By the middle of the semester I would be going to class and actually learning something rather than be all stressy. Read, Review, Write ~ If you do them right away or every day, it’s not bad at all!

    Love Life ~ let the guys come to you. A crush is fun, but just that ~ for entertainment purposes only. LOL

    With your friends don’t talk about your problems, get cracking solving theirs! Be positive!

    Good Luck!

    Thank you for replying, Inky.

    I felt disrespected when I got this kind of news via text. Like I didn’t matter. But I’m thankful to no longer have my ex in my life. I actually met with my friend tonight about what she and others were saying behind my back, it seemed like they’re mostly concerned about me because I’ve changed over the last few months.

    I need to become more organized when it comes to school and classes, you’re right. Being unorganized is the main source of my school stress. If I had a more organized approach and used it in practice, I would probably enjoy school a lot more than I did in the past.

    And you’re also right when it comes to my love life, I’m tired of making the extra effort I’m going to let them come to me. This is kind of personal but I actually had a dream about my crush walking away from me and a bunch of girls followed him in the dream… interesting.
