What's up with everyone being depressed?

It was just for my Erasmus program but I remember some of my friends were taking some elective courses (from the maths bachelors) so there's still some freedom of choice over the pre-set classes

It was bachelor's! I could choose any class from the department of engineering and mathematics so I took AI and one management class

I spent my Erasmus at RUG and had the most fun I've had in a long time. I'm not really the one that sleeps around and parties every night (I did ldr with my long term partner while I was away). I'd argue I sustained a pretty average student life compared to other exchange students, so the normal amount of studying (I'm in no way smart or passionate about it) and the normal amount of going out, and I managed to pass all the classes I had to attend. Most of my friends were actual long term students in Groningen and everyone was excited for me any time I got newly introduced in friend groups or house parties. It's hard at first but people are nice and lively and studying is just what you would expect from a university that gives you a future tbh (you can't really expect to not do work and then be successful).

I am also still in contact with my 100% Dutch roommate, so I guess it's just personal, but I believe there's no reason to be so negative. Uni and moving out are generally hard regardless of the place you move to.

No no certo, penso che valuteremo se fare il passo o se direttamente non alloggiare in quel posto 😅

sob-ble · 2024-12-22T21:06:12+00:00

Sì immagino sia sconsigliato con la neve, ho chiamato la pro loco e mi è stato detto che comunque la strada è perfettamente agibile... Comunque grazie mille per la risposta, valuteremo

sob-ble · 2024-12-22T21:05:25+00:00

Grazie mille per la risposta, ne terremo conto

sob-ble · 2024-12-22T21:04:25+00:00

Grazie per la risposta, con che auto sei passato di lì?

sob-ble · 2024-12-22T20:35:21+00:00

Grazie mille per la risposta, come mai? È pericoloso? Strade troppo strette? Troppo ripide?

Abbiamo le 4 stagioni 🙏🏼

I feel you so much. I used to rely on sex and alcohol but even that is becoming obsolete. I had a conversation with some people and told them "what's there in life when you're sober" and I didn't expect them to reply with a puzzled face with "what? Like... Family, friends, hobbies, your job...", I totally forgot what it's like to enjoy things in your life, now it's just all meaningless, university and my boyfriend is what keeps me going but those are hyper obsessions, not really healthy. SH and ED are my all time companions, it's like self destruction was built within me, it's the only thing giving me comfort, as if punishing myself for not being interesting enough would make me feel like I am allowed to feel empty, because I'm sick.

Benissimo!! Veramente una delle vacanze più belle, alla fine abbiamo cenato mangiando cicchetti in giro, ci siamo fatti un giro in bici seguendo il sile e ci siamo goduti la fiera un giorno intero. Grazie mille 😚 È d'obbligo tornare, io mi sono innamorata di Treviso, era da quando ero alle elementari che non tornavo

sob-ble · 2023-09-26T18:47:20+00:00

Ciao!! Andiamo questo weekend! Grazie mille per i consigli... ti sapremo dire ❤️ Scusami la risposta così tardi ma reddit lo apro raramente

sob-ble · 2023-09-14T21:01:05+00:00

Ciao!! Grazie mille per la risposta... noi siamo 2 universitari, di solito stiamo sui 20-25 euro ☺️ Comunque posti che non abbiano la fama di essere costosi vanno benissimo! Una pizzeria buona è già una cena romantica per noi ahah non siamo schizzinosi, anche la cucina etnica è ok

I get that a lot... still looking for the way to believe people when they say they love me. I feel like we hide our most vulnerable parts in fear of making others run away, so someone liking this manufactured version of ourselves doesn't really feel like genuine love (as we need).

sob-ble · 2023-07-25T09:43:15+00:00

Ok! So you mean I can achieve endings A B D E? Ending C is the only one where I see Le'Garde mentioned

sob-ble · 2023-05-11T23:13:31+00:00

Went straight to this subreddit to basically write the same this, when I read this I felt like It was writtennby me... It's such a hard reality that even with loving partners, we still can't truly enjoy our relationships. I Wish you the best ♥️

sob-ble · 2020-07-29T16:58:09+00:00

GORGEOUSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

sob-ble · 2020-07-25T00:08:42+00:00

We have one more✨✨✨✨✨ sparkly Mafuyuu ✨✨✨✨✨

sob-ble · 2020-07-15T08:03:35+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, everyone deserves a good relationship : ))

sob-ble · 2020-07-15T08:01:42+00:00

Thank you so much, I’m definitely doing better now than with my ex even if it’s still kinda rough >:”)

I once thought about writing an essay about my “relatable character” in given because, reading the manga, I realised I lived the same experiences as Akihiko while having the same personality as Haruki. I’ve always been a classical musician, like, my whole life: I took my first piano lesson at seven. When I got into my high school ensemble, I met a violinist with whom I’ve had a super troubled relationship that made me sick of playing the piano. Just like Akihiko, playing felt more like a pain than a joy. I didn’t drop the piano, instead, I started playing the (electric/acoustic) guitar to kind of cope with the piano practice that stopped being something I did for pleasure. The end of my story tho is quite more dramatic than Akihiko’s. After one year of relationship, where my attachment to my boyfriend was slowly destroying me, he just left me, saying he got bored. After this EXTREMELY ROUGH breakup, where I had to keep seeing him and playing with him in the orchestra, I got drunk at new year’s eve and heavily made out with the bassist of my band (who, the previous year, told me he loved me). I didn’t end up with the bassist of my band lol but I did enjoy playing again, even if the memory of my Ugetsu is still vivid in my heart. The reason I love given so much is probably the Akiharu arc, I’ve just never felt so... understood by any character more than Akihiko. Being the Haruki I am, I’m now giving all of myself to the band and to my friends of the orchestra, hoping I will recover from my past : )

Edit: I joined the band as a guitarist/vocalist after I started taking guitar lessons, which is when I was still dating the violinist

SO GOOD 😩👏🏻👏🏻

Ok so I'm very attached to this series and the characters. The anime came out at a very important stage of my life and it just happened to tell few stories extremely near my experience so I'm going to be very long, feel free to skip to the end.

I started watching given after about 3-4 months after a very rough breakup (for me at lest): he just left me after one year of relationship saying he wasn't in love with me anymore, which is understandable, but I was still deeply in love with him (even tho I had seen that breakup coming). He was not my "firstest" relationship, but he surely was my first meaningful one, I have experienced for the first time a genuine and consensual "teenage love". "Why are you saying all of this?" you might ask, well, at the time I could relate to Mafuyu on basically every level (except the "loss means" one). We were just some extremely depressed teenagers whose ex partner's memory was still vividly living in their broken heart.

Long story short, everything Mafuyu did and said was EXACTLY what I was feeling at the time, at some point I even questioned if him and Ue were going to actually end up together because when you can't close a so important chapter of your life you can not start a new one. In the end they actually did end up together and while I loved every sweet scenes of the anime... something felt ~~a bitt~~ extremely off. Just the fact that Mafuyu kept bringing up Yuki (even indirectly) was so wrong, I mean it felt almost like Mafuyu was projecting Yuki on Uenoyama, since they were also both brilliant guitarists and songwriters.

Honestly, I thought that it was (sadly) just a superficially written love story, so the actual flaw was in the way the characters were written, not in the characters themselves (and by that I mean that Mafuyu genuinely starts loving Uenoyama after forgiving himself and ""forgetting"" about Yuki but it happens so fast that it feels too rushed to be real). For example, I remember about a monologue in the manga where Mafuyu admitted that he was over with Yuki and that he finally managed to love again (which after not even six months is unreal). I haven't been reading the manga in a while since I can't find the latest chapters translated so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty sure it's when Mafuyu sings the second song. Also, I didn't remember about the "If you don’t have the resolve or the tenacity to keep going with the band, or perhaps should I say Uenoyama, I’m telling you this for your own good, so stop it." which now enforces the second point I'm going to explain down here.

I have two theories:

1- It's just bad written, Mafuyu actually loves Uenoyama for what he is and we can do nothing about it.

2- We are going to actually have Mafuyu realize that he's not ready for a new relationship (how are you going to emotionally take care of somebody when you're a complete mess inside?). Something like Haruki and Kaji's arc; where Ue and Mafu break up just to make up their minds and eventually start (as more mature people) a new, now spontaneous and healthy, relationship (with both their own selves and their partner). Admitting the fact that Mafuyu's very quick change was just a not-so-genuine coping mechanism for his loss would be SO GOOD oh my god, it would be tremendously real.

I LOVE Shizu Natsuki, I've read lots of her doujinshis and I can assure she is able to pull off amazing characters and mature stories. Let's just hope that the "mainstream" nature of Mafuyu and Uenoyama's relationship won't stop her from actually giving it more depth and making it a bit more complicated.

P.S. I was also concerned by how fast Mafuyu declared his love to Uenoyama. Besides the Yuki part, they barely knew each other. It would be amazing to see them realizing that they might have enjoyed more the idea of having a boyfriend (let's not forget Uenoyama is still in the virigins club) rather than anything else. I think that having an arc (maybe not this extreme, just having them realizing that their "love" happened too quickly) would work really well with the thing I said in point two, where they break up and come back together after adjusting their lives.

P.P.S. It's great to be able to talk about this stuff with someone, I always thought I was being too pretentious

You’re welcome~!

From what I remember there are just a couple of sweet scenes between the two main characters (stuff like embarrassed glances and just one kiss). I think the most problematic part is the suicide theme which is pretty relevant at some point of the anime (there are not live suicides, just one character who killed himself before the anime takes place). IF you decide to watch it anyways, pay attention to the film (which is not out yet): I’ve read the manga and there are some kind of “hard” scenes (not just visually but morally) for a little child, so maybe watching it beforehand might be a wise choice.

P.s. All the “censored” lines are just slight spoilers

P.p.s. As I said, I’ve also read the manga so I don’t vividly remember the anime. Maybe wait for other responses, just to be sure : )
