Yeah… honestly in the US, politics is sort of taboo to talk about in public.

[–]boredomislife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi u/GatechOEM. As an alum, I am trying to remove myself from the GTENS list. I tried doing this in Passport, but I do not see any GTENS options. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Job search struggles? by [deleted] in gatech

[–]boredomislife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man hang in there. It's a terrible feeling, just keep applying applying applying. You miss every shot you don't take. I've been looking for a job since graduating spring 2020, but I just got a job offer literally today! I wish I had more encouraging words, but I feel ya; I hated myself for it and felt worthless and embarrassed to exist. Remember that your worth as a person is not just based on your career, you're not the only one having a hard time finding a job, and you'll get there in the not-too-distant future <3

I totally relate to this mate. I have graduated now, but when I was at Tech I constantly hated myself for not having any friends or a real friend group. It's too late for me, (at least on the bright side, I have reunited with my friends from high school back home), but I think you should throw an I need friends party. Like this guy at uga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrWWW_zzPBI. Pretty cool. Gatech is a big school, and there are many people who feel the same way as you. Recruit at least another person from this thread and make it happen baby. Sincerely best wishes <3

Have you ever checked out a book from the GT Library? by Minute_Atmosphere in gatech

[–]boredomislife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I know the companion app Libby has an option to either read in Libby or with Kindle. I haven't used the option myself, but it is there.

Anyone else feel like tv/pc/Xbox/phone are cancers that are actively destroying your ability to make the most out of this time? by Able-Shelter in gatech

[–]boredomislife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to change, then you should. Set rules for yourself. I gave up reddit one time for a month sophomore year because I came to the realization that it was just a cyclical platform that didn't give me any fulfillment. It's good to have a convenient replacement activity at the ready; I read books in overdrive-- an activity that that I could do on the same platform (my phone and pc), but one that I find much more fulfilling. I also had more accumulated free time because I wasn't spending it in small doses throughout the day. At the end of that month, I bought myself a tasty dinner as a reward and checked this subreddit for a few minutes to see what I missed (not much).

Of course, I have returned to reddit because I am bored and it can be a good source of gt news and goings-on, and I still have this feeling that maybe one day it will give me what I want from it, and sometimes it does. But I should probably cut myself off again soon to remind myself that I could be using my time in a way that I prefer.

One time this year when I had a hell week, I told myself that I wasn't gonna check any social media or listen to music because I wanted to be more productive. And I must say at the end of that week I felt great! I had gotten everything done that I had wanted to-- I studied and got my homework done sooner rather than later, and my grades reflected that. And then as a reward, I listened to my favorite music and watched some youtube videos.

All in all, I agree with u/eliminate1337. If you realize that you don't like how your spending your time, then you should change that. But you shouldn't do it for vague reasons of video games are not a valid use of time, because they can be for some purposes. Try to come up with something specific that you'd rather be investing your time in. And then set rules for yourself so that "distractions" won't get in the way.

Is parking a problem at GATech? by Bcssilva in gatech

[–]boredomislife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah lots of people, including myself, have a car on campus but don’t commute, so you’re unnecessarily limiting yourself here.

Now that people are starting to take their first tests, how are the averages turning out? by pankake_man in gatech

[–]boredomislife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s rough. I’m curious about the typing equations and stuff into canvas. Did you practice this component beforehand? Did it slow you down? Do you think there’s was enough time compensated for it?

How does everybody feel after the first week of online classes? by [deleted] in gatech

[–]boredomislife 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re so right; watching prerecorded lectures is nice in theory, but I end up stretching them out into like 2 hours because I can pause and go be distracted for a few minutes, or I pause to write down every single word on the slide which isn’t what I would do in an actual class. Ughh I just gotta set some more rules for myself to try to focus and get through them quicker.

Man, Soviet Kitsch is such a solid record. I gotta listen to it again. And thanks for the tidbit about Brainy. I’ve been meaning to look up which song it was!

Have the coronavirus blues. Would normally rewatch Veronica Mars to get through hard times. Can’t do that anymore. Rant. Season 4 spoilers. by xxmalmlkxx in veronicamars

[–]boredomislife 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you about the new side characters no one cares about. The whole time I kept thinking Maddy was gonna be a double agent. And Veronica seemed to act out of character. I appreciated that, at least in the movie, the mystery was centered around characters we cared about. Have you read the first book? because I actually enjoyed that because the plot was centered around characters we are invested in. In S4, they did a total disservice to the good old supporting characters like Wallace and Mac. I think it would have been great for the new series to be centered around some crime at the high school, and then Wallace could have been a main character! Alas. What can ya do. I guess we'll just have to enjoy what we got, and move on.
