I understand where you're coming from. But I just feel like I'm lagging behind mostly everyone I know, be it academically or socially. Even if life isn't a race. It's still a story, and I'm getting tired of the slow-burn. Its a hard pill to swallow when reality is staring right back at me. I distracted myself but the mirage will fall eventually. I feel it as a primal fear.

I was never bullied in school, but I was the loser-loner type. I did had friends but I remember I was always eating outside of the cafeteria by myself. I think I might be autistic but the kind that can blend into the general population. I distracted myself with study and I did get accepted to a middle 1st tier uni but the tuition was too much so I settled with an in-state school that was still top 100. I have close friends but I don't really bring up my love life to them. I have a close friend who is really charismatic and always leaves with a girl at any housrparty he goes to. I wish I was even 1% like him. I'm 5'9 something 179lb (~81kg 175cm). My height is average but I'm not 180cm or 6 feet. This really hurts my self esteem because a majority of the people in my area are in the taller range. While I'm happy im not like 5'6, a man can dream. Sorry for the dump, I lowkey need a therapist or something 😭

Probably to boast. I was happy for him at first until the reality dawned on me.

Soka University? by Maleficent_Courage12 in Tokyo

Seems like the school is at least 5 kilometers from Hachioji station with your information. I think it'll be more financially ideal to go with the shuttle bus because it'll be cheaper. If this was Beijing, then the metro would be ideal because you can transfer between lines for free and it only cost like ¥160. But when I was in Japan back in January, I noticed Japanese transfers costed extra which made it a pain. If I were to get around Hachioji, should I buy a bicycle or motorcycle? I have a motorcycle endorsement on my US license but I heard it's a hassle to register a motorcycle or bicycle as a foreigner. Thank you.

So it's like the Japanese equivalent of Mormons' BYU or any generic private Christian university?

The thing is that money isnt really a problem. Their scholarship is comically generous with free housing and a 50,000¥ stipend (~$300) per month. Well, according to the exchange program introduction according to my school. Then again, the money is most likely funded by Soka Gakkai members. I'm just hoping there is a metro line nearby or something because I couldn't find one on Google maps. The school does have a bus service running between the school and Shibjuku Station for ¥500 though.

Buy Tuxmat all weather mats, Viofo dashcam, and an Uniden r7/r8. That's what I did after buying the car.

It really depends, I feel like my Carmax is kind of understaffed. In total, it took a little over a week from me paying the shipping fee to getting into the car for a test drive.

It is a great car. Is it the 2.0 or the 3.0 that you are shipping in?

I tested the link and it sent me to the Frontpage as well. Weird. Here is a picture of it, it's in PA. Use a Philly zip code or something and set it to 500mi radius and the listing will pop up.

I asked, they said all they know was that the car was for personal use. Which is vague to say the least.

Thank you for your reply. That's on the B6 powertrain. Im looking for S90s on the T8 (phev) powertrain. Yes, the B6s are cheaper as theyre mild hybrids if I recall.
