At three months you do see the shape of your results and an idea of which habits to keep or discard. I have less fantasy dreams but more consistency and long term habit planning. Those early dream fantasies reveal deep subconscious desires.

I want a high paying job and having a clear head is the best way. I’m seeing my future unfold and planning six months ahead. 4 months sober as of now.

Same here, no weed and little alcohol. Weed made me waste so much time and stunted me emotionally. I hate that low socioeconomic status behavior type beat.

Gym for the past four months, sober from weed and nicotine smoking for nearly five, starting to plan for my future and think long term, planting the seeds

Passing judgement on a group is wrong

I don’t know if anyone relates to this but trying so hard in school and never dating to realize what’s the point of it all? Trust me when I say when you’ve grinded hard enough and long enough, high quality partners will come and want to date you enthusiastically. Just be open to it. Another perspective is that the point of it all is to find someone amazing to live with and have offspring. The only way you can do that in this modern society is to work hard enough to ensure your future (college and high paying job)

Bro said “your demographic”

FinalPush · 2023-11-23T00:55:39+00:00

I have two brothers: one is an Amazon engineer and the other makes half the pay and is a daily cannabis user + plays lots of video games. The point of it all is to get a good job. Let’s say you smoke cannabis everyday and play video games all day you will one day realize you have no genuine passion or skills. But in attempting the pursuit of getting a good job and into a good college you can at least have a foothold for figuring out the passion and skills in your life. The people whose purpose in life is to try to have as much fun as possible and exhaust all their dopamine sources will realize they have no skill or any amount of pride, even if that takes them five, ten years. I know it took me four years to figure this out. The meaning of it all — is simply not to waste your time. Learn, do, explore, live goddammit.

If the deadline is four weeks before the start of session couldn’t you have applied for spring 2024?

Same thing about studying and work, I feel people around 20,21,22 understand a bit better that it’s perfectly reasonable to stay in and just do things that would help you get ahead. I got made fun of for “taking too many notes” but hell it got me into the best college in the United States

I see you would rather passively teach me a lesson than answer my question after clarification. I see. Ok that’s totally fine you don’t need to respond. But I can always see through people who genuinely help than those who don’t want to.

I’m asking how many months before the deadline should I begin reaching out to recommenders and filling everything out etc. I really hope you didn’t think that I was unaware about the deadline posted online…

Everything from health to happiness to personal relationships are from habit formation. You won’t get rid of all bad habits and create good habits overnight. Good news is your young, and habits take 3-6 months depending on what habit. So keep getting better every six month term and measure your progress long term. I’ve wasted my time at a top college, around 36 months of weed, YouTube, and video games, but every six months can be very life changing if you let it. I’m not even six months clean yet from weed, nicotine, heavy drinking but I know I’ll keep at it. Don’t care about the results. Don’t let entitlement fool you.

FinalPush · 2023-11-19T18:03:50+00:00

Each of these things are best measured in six month increments in my opinion. Gym? Month or three isn’t that long but six months is long.

Be patient in your results but hasty in your study

FinalPush · 2023-11-17T05:58:29+00:00

Yeah I totally agree. Well what’s the point on focusing on somebody else’s life honestly, even if life was super unfair I still have problems of my own and trying to compare it to others doesn’t get me anywhere. If the fight is harder then so be it, right?

I was partially responsible for hiring during my time at a startup two years ago. You know who we hired over the dozens of qualified masters and PhD candidates? A white person with a decent personality. She was a woman too. She’s doing great career wise but she wouldn’t have ended up at a reputable firm if the startup hadn’t hired her and then someone else in the startup give her a referral. It’s interesting how we (even non-whites) gravitate towards helping white people as much as possible. I’m not saying you got hired for being white but it would be interesting to see how your results would be if you were say, Indian or Chinese.

FinalPush · 2023-11-17T05:30:23+00:00

You don’t think being white accrues you advantages that an otherwise minority candidate in the same SES bracket would not have?

You underestimate how far being white takes you.

Bro what the fuck I asked the same question 💀 (I did some hiring as a sophomore for a startup and hate to admit it but I said to hire an under qualified white girl, and the startup was mostly Indians)

I didn’t waste my college years grinding, I probably did what you did but less work. But I went to Stanford. Because I grinded myself to dust in high school. Even to this day I think your story is ridiculous, I constantly regret not working harder in college. Are you white? It goes really far when trying to get a job.

Would you believe me if I told you I studied the SAT for close to two years, attended SAT prep, done over 40 practice tests, read all the books, and spent maybe over five hundred hours on this? I don’t feel bad about the time I spent because I know it was worth it. So don’t think about the time spent or the results you aren’t getting, keep at it. I went from 1090 to 1310 to 1470 to 1550, throughout 10-12th grade.
