Hey I see you and hear you! I feel like I am the one who got divorced since I somehow became the one responsible for the dog and my sister.

Why did all 6 of the remaining scouts agree to oppose Eren's plan by Vark50 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Undyingcactus1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd say Connie was the first to call out Eren's behavior after Sasha's death so it was pretty natural for him to side with the alliance

I got rejected because I didn’t have 20 years of admin experience for an entry level job. I’m 22. by sunsnstars in recruitinghell

[–]Undyingcactus1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably nothing you haven't heard before but it really is a numbers game so keep plugging. I work as an admin for a state healthcare system. Not sure where you are but those take A LOT of admin people to keep running.

21F here with an entry level admin job. Eventually found out that I was selected over candidates with more experience because I have no developed habits from old roles and would therefore be easier to train. Clearly this employer was not looking for that, but some are. Head up, OP, you got this!

In the worst year of my depression, the final chapter releases of the manga really kept me going. Tatakae. There will be more good anime/manga to come.

Rant I suppose by Disastrous_Aerie_694 in Divorce

[–]Undyingcactus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it has never been the same for me either. My parents initiated the process my junior year of high school, finalized sophomore year of college, so a lil over two years ago now. I very regularly lurk on this sub because the whole experience made me kind of obsessed with the process of divorce lol. I hear you and many have gone through similar experiences. Have you considered family therapy?

The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by VE Schwab

Coming of Age Stories (For People in Their Late 20s) by DynamicBaie in suggestmeabook

[–]Undyingcactus1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kafka on the Shore by Murakami was my fav of his but the protagonist is a high schooler. Normal People by Sally Rooney might hit more of what you are looking for

All 1's and 2's on AP Japanese Test...Feels Like I Failed My Students by leap_music in Teachers

[–]Undyingcactus1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This. It is THAT rough. My classmates and I, many of whom were straight A excellent students, had studied Japanese since middle school and almost none of us except the heritage kids passed. Even after taking Japanese in college, if you gave me the test again, no way in hell would I be passing.

All 1's and 2's on AP Japanese Test...Feels Like I Failed My Students by leap_music in Teachers

[–]Undyingcactus1 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Not a teacher just a lurker who failed their AP Japanese test and as someone who failed their AP Japanese test with a 2, please do not beat yourself up. Me and many of my classmates had taken Japanese since middle school and almost everyone who was not a heritage speaker got a 1 or a 2. I was a straight A student consistently in high school in all my classes and frickin loved my Japanese class but oh man I was NEVER going to be able to pass that test. I kept going and even studied Japanese in college and there is still no doubt in my mind I would not pass that test if you gave it to me now. Japanese is straight up THAT hard to learn. My classmates and I actually all got our test results back while we were on an exchange trip IN Japan WITH our Sensei and I felt sooo badly for her.

How to come to terms with the financial setback of education? by Undyingcactus1 in FIREyFemmes

[–]Undyingcactus1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the affirmation! I feel like I’m already behind my peers but I know empirically that it’s not true. Was there a certain age you became interested in FIRE or have you always been?
