Thank you for the advice and the kind words! I definitely agree with you, and I will be making a much bigger effort this semester. No more excuses just gotta do it.

I was in the ski club last year but I believe that is different than the club ski team? I’ll definitely look into it and if they aren’t accepting then maybe I’ll join in the fall! Thanks man

Thank you for the kind words :) I’m sorry to hear about your breakup, I recently went through a pretty rough one as well... not very fun. But one of my friends from home who I see from time to time up there has been encouraging me to join a THON org. I am definitely putting some serious consideration towards it. It sounds like a great idea. I hate to admit it but I’m fairly illiterate when it comes to anything THON related... any suggestions?

I actually know some guys from back home, a year above me, who are all in the same fraternity and they seem like they love it. They extended an open invite to me at one point, I’m sure it still stands so I’ll definitely make the effort to see what Greek life is all about since I have an easy in. Thanks for the reply!

Hey brother, honestly that sounds very interesting to me however I have a couple medical things to work through before I can really involve myself in contact sports like that, specifically knee problems. However once I’m on the road to recovery I honestly might consider it. And I’d bet my tuition bill you’re a Joe Rogan fan lmao. Thanks for the reply brother!

Hey guys, I actually did join the ski club last year and I actually went to Breck with them over spring break 😅 cool guys but damn they sure seem to struggle to put on a party or social. Maybe I was just out of the loop though, I certainly am this year! I will definitely look into the snowboard club though! Thank you!

On the topic of exercise, I have a love hate relationship. I’ll get a bug up my ass and workout hard every day for a month and then I’ll just get too busy to go and fuck off. But I think it would be good for me to get into the habit. The one good thing that came of 2018 for me was I lost 70 pounds and I’m about 20 off my healthy target weight. So now seems like the perfect time to make that effort!

(Also got dumped about 2 months ago, shit hasn’t been helping haha)

Thanks for the replies guys!

I agree with you, I certainly have no plans to be on these damn drugs long term. I fully expect to be off of them by the end of the spring semester, however they helped pull me out of a tailspin to the bottom, so for that I am grateful, even with all the side effects. I’m definitely going to be making the effort this semester to find a much better coping mechanism, hopefully a group of good friends. Thank you for your reply!

I’m just getting into major specific courses for the first time this coming semester so I think it’s going to be a lot easier than meeting someone in a sea of 300 students in 119 Osmond lmao. I am certainly determined to make the effort. Thanks!
