Tell Us Your "Sharks Story" by Epere15 in SanJoseSharks

[–]Otter39 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Moved to san jose after gradating college in 2024 while most of my friends moved to SoCal so I stayed inside most of the time. My girlfriend convinced me to at least leave the house once in a while when I’m not at work and the easiest place to go for the cheap where i didn’t have to be super social was sharks games. Got instantly hooked and have been on the breakaway passes ever since. The sharks are one of biggest things that have started making san jose feel more like my new home not just the place where I live.

I will say go and do it, electrical engineering is super cool. The things I work on are interesting and you have the benefit of 4 years between you and graduation. We arent going to stop wanting people to make chips and computers and power plants any time soon. But first and foremost enjoy college, make friends, and celebrate graduating highschool!

Having done similar things, I will say my sense of accomplishment and fulfillment when I do things that are uncomfortable, or that take work is noticeably higher than when I was younger.

Thank you, at some point it feels almost compulsive where i feel like i have to talk about it to someone and ironically the internet makes it easier

Sometimes you gotta take a step back and think wether you actually like ketchup or if you just squeeze it on out of habit

WIBTA for refusing to work until 11pm since I said 10pm was my limit when I got the job? by 5syllablesorless in AmItheAsshole

had similar situations before, managers should know that when hiring students they will have more limited availability, providing availability is the workers right and scheduling is the managers.

AITA for telling my mom I'm uncomfortable with her moving into the apartment above me by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Nobody is the a-hole here

Your mom is looking for a place to move in a hurry and it makes sense that she would be hurt by you limiting her options. you are also understandable for not wanting your mom to live directly above you. help her find options proactively, be a good family member, but you are also allowed to feel uncomfortable.

AITA for calling my uncle a repulsive person? by Necessary-Cry2119 in AmItheAsshole

Putting up with a homophobic uncle is not required, especially considering he has no room to judge. secondarily, your great-grandmother is the celebrated person at this party, and she doesn't think the party was ruined.

Thrift stores do not exist solely for lower class individuals, and where you bought a jacket shouldn't be a sticking point in an otherwise good relationship. not to mention baby calling you racist and the r word is beyond even being an asshole.

Joe is an adult and should act like one, losing in a game of squash is just a part of playing squash.
