I am a recent 5th year senior drop out at Ole Miss (The University of Mississippi). All I have to show for a education right now is a minor in biology and a near BA in liberal arts (psychology). I have no future plans to go back to school. College is for some people - not me.
My family is a total wreck. It has been that way for as long as I can remember. My mother is a bad mother by all standards. Take my word for it. My mother and father both can be viewed as a mirror of misery.
Okay so I'm a, nearly, 23 year old recovering cocaine addict. Boom!! now that that's out  My family (mother's side; the one that matters) "officially" disowned me this xmas holiday. My mother came up from Jackson, MS a few days before xmas and took my car. She was paying for it anyway. I can't even begin to think about what's going on in my life right now. One thing is for sure, I smoke way too much ganja  It is used for a "no feeling" feeling. I'm sure a few of you know what i'm talking about. Well this feeling is 100% necessary for me to live a pretty happy life. At any rate, I'm out of school and just gave my two weeks notice to my job. I was a computer repair technician, not A+ certified (i would take and pass the test if i had the money to take the blasted thing!). I had to quit because their office is moving across town and there is no possible way for me to communte to and from.
Job opportunity?? In my home town - Madison, MS?? I need this job working for Apple in Madison. Problem is, there are a lot of horrific events that had taken place in my childhood, in Madison. Every time that I'm around my mother or even in that town I am flooded with these bad memories. I cannot live there.
My grandparents live about 20 minutes from Madison and offer me a place to stay and transportation. I could manage to live with them but it would be very, very hard. My grandparents are very firm believers in the "word of god". I'm a little more open minded, you could say
I want to stay in Oxford but simply cannot afford to live on my own right now. A lot of bad decisions that I've made in the past are really catching up to me, financially. Oxford is a better fit for me emotionally but ****ing Madison could help solve my financial and drug issues... maybe.. i don't know. What do you guys think? Despite the lack of details that you would probably need in order to understand my situation a bit more, what would you do if you were me? |
I don't know why you're bothering to ask for advice. My bet is you've gotten plenty of good advice in the past, but you haven't bothered to follow it just as you haven't bothered to respond to many of the responses on this thread.
So far I've gathered this much from your posts.
1. College isn't for you
2. Religion isn't for you
3. The military isn't for you
4. You're a drug addict living in a college town
5. You're blaming others for your situation
Please don't move to KC. We've got enough people like you sleeping on our streets and begging for money.
Now here's some advice put into a dumbed-down analogy. There was a Seinfeld episode where George realizes that he's a very poor decision maker so he decides to do the opposite of what he thinks he should do. (Winds up telling a girl he's unemployed and lives with his parents instead of trying to impress her, etc.) As a result, things go well for him. I think it's safe to say that your decision-making ability is piss poor. You should do what George did and reverse your decisions. Your life would look like this:
1. College graduate
2. Devoted man of faith
3. Military supporter/officer
4. Clean and sober life in a grown-up town
5. Accountable for your own actions
Now THAT is a person I would welcome into my community.
