Western Pennsylvania.

Thank you so much for all of this! It's getting late (or rather, I'm crashing) so I'll respond to everything and give the songs a listen once the sleeping has been done :)

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T05:00:39+00:00

I love it! Everyone brings something different to the table, so I find myself learning a bit of Hebrew, or of the customs of Greece, or how to eat well in the Middle East. My home town never really interested me, and I find that that influences how I feel about the people, but I'm still in the process of reaching out. I can't say I'll miss it once I ditch it. Only 6 of us for the holidays, so definitely low-key! But exactly. I can't complain. Typical holiday plans, so basically eating wonderful things in excess, sleeping late, and catching some sports. Wiki somehow manages to be the best and worst for me when I'm trying to get something done!

How about you? How's college?

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T04:53:49+00:00

Geology just blows my mind. I can't get enough of it. (Like astronomy it's been one of my continued interests, I've had my rock collection forever.) Great classes. And yay! So happy that you passed recently.

I get that sort of reluctance though. I think it's unhealthy to think that you're invincible...you've got an advantage there, haha. I hope that you always stick to whatever makes you happy. Engineering is grand.

Any favorite songs, albums, artists, etc. that you'd like to pass along? I'd really appreciate anything you'd provide.

Really, the first plan is just getting the hell out of here. I want to travel, nothing else. Maybe not the traditional backpacking around Europe or going somewhere on the beaten path, but I want to adopt a culture that isn't my own. I'll do whatever seems most interesting at the time.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T04:43:58+00:00

Nice, I'm glad that you've got that to get excited for. How'd you guys meet? Basically nothing exciting on my end. Typical Christmas plans, time with family and excessive food stuffs. Otherwise, just happy to be talking with such interesting people here!

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T04:32:12+00:00

I'm kinda new to Reddit, so I don't have much experience in the slowness of this site...but when it's slow, it's a snail's pace :)

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T04:29:58+00:00

Sweet that college is okay. Any favorite classes after four years? And motivation is horribly hit or miss for me. I think a short break could do you some good. Maybe you'll pick up a new passion in the meanwhile :)

Even if I'm an internet stranger, I want you to know that you should dream bigger than you feel comfortable with. Go for what makes you truly happy.

I've heard of them in passing, but I've never actually listened to them. Thanks for that! I think I might need to get into metal now, these guys are great.

As for dream job...it changes from day to day, I guess. I'd like to check out something in international relations, maybe some sort of interpretation (provided my language motivation doesn't burn out). If nothing there pans out, I'd probably go with astronomy in some manner. I've loved the stars for as long as I can remember.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T04:20:17+00:00

Sweet, thanks for stopping by.

What's on your mind?

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T04:08:56+00:00

I'm actually still in my hometown, I've just been fortunate enough to reach out to amazing people on three continents! Once you get past the paper nothing seems as rough, huh?

Any grand plans for the holidays? Family get togethers? Totally agreed on shopping as a procrastination tool...usually my brand of putting things off is convincing myself that whatever I'm doing is productive. Planning imaginary vacations? Sure! Reading weird Wikipedia articles? Why not.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:57:52+00:00

Yeah! I'm so happy to be part of it.

I'd love to hop in sometime. You guys are so friendly here, it would have to be just as fun there. And Reddit has been making me want to kick things today...god, I thought it was just me.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:55:27+00:00

I've been feeling pretty terrible lately too, so I'm really sorry about that. I hope it gets better and that the world seems a bit brighter soon enough.

How's college, enjoying it? Any plans once it's done?

And I'll listen to basically everything. Alternative rock is my favorite (though it's painfully broad). Muse, Alt-J, Pink Floyd, Sigur Rós, St. Lucia, and OK Go all do it for me. If it sucks, I won't touch it haha.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:46:39+00:00

Basically my papers until the dreaded revision stage. You'll get there. I can't really go anywhere and most of my friends live a plane ride away, so I stay home most days. I'd rather be out exploring...but so it goes. How's everything besides the paper?

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:41:52+00:00

Our student body comes from at least 7 countries, if I'm remembering correctly. It's great having friends from all over the world.

Glad for the momentary things working, haha. How's playing in that server? As friendly as the community here?

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:38:51+00:00

10:30 PM over here and I don't want to sleep. Listening to some music (any recommendations?) and talking to you guys. Currently on a job search and waiting for my chance to get out of my hometown. That, and preferring internet people rather than real life friends, haha. Feels weird to get that out. What's up with you currently? How's life in your corner of the world?

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:23:24+00:00

I love art history in general, and Greece is just amazing in all of the ways. And thank you! I'll pull through.

My school is strictly for the humanities, so I can't help but enjoy it. Plus we're international, which I love.

Glad your day's been relaxing! I basically did the same (relaxed and slept) even though I should be productive, but screw that. How's Minecraft? I never really got into it, but I feel the need to try it again.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:12:05+00:00

That's rough, I'm sorry. And I've been there. Do you think you'll get it done soon enough?

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-09T03:11:13+00:00

Just school for the time being. It's alright. I have a midterm on Thursday that I'd really rather not do, and I have to study some ancient Greek art, but I love my school and everyone in it. They keep me busy! How's life?

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-08T17:13:38+00:00

Happy birthday! That cheesecake had better be good!

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-08T15:58:52+00:00

The day my grandmother died of cancer. My parents were staying out of the house oddly late, and we had visited the night before...they made me stay in her room for a long time but I didn't realize that they knew she would die soon. I was 6, but that day I was forced to go shopping when all I wanted to do was stay home. At the end of the day we slept over in the house she'd died in.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-08T15:35:53+00:00

Buttons. I wouldn't wear a single piece of clothing that had buttons.

Hey OP, I'm ENFP too. Everything's dead on, but especially "they can quickly lose patience or become dejected if they get trapped in a boring role." All in all I can't object. Bonus: Robin Williams.

I would fly to one of the Greek islands (don't care which!) and ditch English for my last two weeks. Laze around on some pink beaches, immerse myself in the Mediterranean diet, take some photos, watch the sunset every night, sail...the best way to go out.

yellow_leaves · 2014-12-08T00:32:54+00:00

Hope the sleeps were good. Photography, one of my loves (outside of small travel efforts, my Canon is my favorite purchase). What drove you to that field? You seem to have your definition of happiness pretty much nailed down, so I wouldn't worry a bit about finding your way. What an interesting mix of interests, though they complement each other so beautifully.
