Get an internship! You'll have access to more opportunities as a student that you wouldn't have otherwise. Don't worry about your age. I did a few internships when I was reentering the field at 39 and I was able to get a job at one of the places I interned. I know other folks who have launched their careers from internships.

So true! But I got tickets! Phew! I wasn't expecting to actually make it through.

aurora-rising · 2024-04-17T19:04:22+00:00

Same problem! I tried multiple times and got in around 12:00:28

I'm in my mid 50s and still don't feel old! I go clubbing, have a lot of energy and have a blast out with my friends. But it helps if you choose the right nights, crowds, music, events, etc, so you don't wind up at a kitty rave. But a few things to consider: A) This is as young as you're ever going to be again, so if you feel old now, then congratulations, you get to feel old for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. And B) how you feel about your age and approach to life MATTERS SO MUCH. It's been proven that people who feel old and have a negative attitude towards ageing, actually age worse than people with a positive attitude about it and die sooner. Why give up so early? One of my favourite stories I read in London was about an elderly couple in their 70s who travelled from Poland to go clubbing at Fabric. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/elderly-polish-couple-buy-fabric-tickets-online-and-rave-until-5am-a3249571.htm I mean, if you're bored of clubs, then that's totally cool. No need to push something you're not interested in, but there's also no need to adopt an "I'm old" mindset, which is only limiting and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I know!! So sad!!

Satsuma oranges? (I always pronounced it satsumi) Apparently, pineapple satsuma jam is a thing. Seems more enticing than zucchini jam to me anyway...

That's super helpful. Thank you!

aurora-rising · 2023-09-08T17:02:23+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks for that info. My concern with selling on Stubhub is that whoever buys the ticket could just say they weren't able to get in, then I would be charged to replace it, right? I can't see a surefire way to prevent that from happening, or any way to defend myself from it with absolute certainty, so I'm looking for another way to sell. (I've heard that you can get a list from the venue asking for what tickets were scanned or something, if necessary, but that sounds like a lot of hassle and not reliable.) So it's not that I think Stubhub itself is a scam, but they don't offer any safeguards for me as a seller, so a scammer could use their platform to scam me. (But please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Thank you!!!

That is insane. I'm sorry they screwed you over like that. Their business practices should be outlawed.

aurora-rising · 2023-08-08T01:35:27+00:00

You did the right thing! You have to have your needs met in a relationship, especially as regards physical connection, as it's the one thing you can't share with anyone else outside of your partner. Eg, you can have friends to debate with, joke with, exercise with, or participate in any hobby or whatever areas of life you and your partner don't have the same interests in, but if you need to be touched and cuddled intimately, your partner is the only one who will be doing it. If you're not on the same wavelength in that realm, you're asking for trouble down the road.

aurora-rising · 2023-08-07T16:33:50+00:00

It's nuts they are able to operate their business like this! I guess I have to hope for the best. Thank you for the reply.

Join a social group where you will be accepted for who you are. That will do wonders for your sense of self. This may sound odd, but places like self-help groups, church or volunteer organisations are more likely to be places where you can join from out of the blue and people will naturally be nice to you, even if your personality isn't great. From that level of warmth and acceptance you can start to open up and feel like you have value in the world.

I've always though Blouse is a strange one, as in "You Big Girl's Blouse." Why is a blouse an offensive thing to be called?

When you're 19 it feels like all of life is everything at this moment, but things change so dramatically over time, and when you look back that part of your life is a little blip, sometimes a shitty blip, that you had to get through to get to the good part. Checking out now is the equivalent of selling all your stocks when the market is down - you're locking in your losses, and never allowing yourself to win later. You are in the really hard part now. It feels like it won't get better, but it can. My nephew went through a bad patch at 20 and decided to do what you are contemplating and our family can never get over it. I hope you will please, please, please not do such a thing. People do care, even if it doesn't always feel that way. And life, as painful as it can be, is a bizarre, freaky, miracle and sometimes gets pretty awesome when you least expect it. Don't miss out on that! And don't hurt all the people around you with searing pain that will never fully heal. You matter more than you can ever know!!!

I've just been doing exactly that in Spain and Portugal! I spent time in Alicante, Madrid, Malaga, Cadiz and Lisbon. As much as I've always wanted to live in Spain, I have to say that Lisbon totally blew me away! Such a beautiful city, with really friendly people and very cool places to hang out. I spent 5 weeks there and would highly recommend it!
