    Yay for car troubles! Figured out that I need a new fuel pump which will luckily only be $100-$200 for the part and an easy enough job I could do it in my driveway. Can start my car easily enough but better I do it sooner rather than later...

    Dead easy. If you like I can do it for you. If you go to Autobarn, and tell them which car you're after (Year, Make, Model) they should give you the right one. Once you get that, I can install it for you (y)

    Haha in all honesty, I don't know a great deal. It's more basic stuff that you need to do regularly. It helps that my best mate is a mechanic, my brother is a mechanic apprentice and my stepdad is a petrolhead so even when I don't know what I'm doing one of them is usually able to help me out.

    Today was a terrible day. I mean the past month has been pretty terrible but today was the worst. 3 of the jobs I had interviews with called me over the past few days and told me they found someone else for the position so I was no longer needed. And then I get a text from my cell carrier because my past due bill is $300 and I'm going to be getting shut off soon. And then I got a letter from the bank saying that my account is very negative (very high triple digits, I'm not giving the exact number)

    And it's just really really stressful and I'm freaking the hell out. My insomnia is getting worse and it's harder to sleep each night, the only thing helping me is my good friend Jack Daniels.

    This sucks so much and I'm on the verge of actually losing my mind

    That's a really tough situation, I'm so sorry :( Job searching is horrible and makes you feel like absolute crap. Do they do stuff over there for people in financial hardship? Like let you pay things off really slow on a payment plan or something? Or do you have anyone who could help out? Anything to relieve your stress a bit. I mean if you got three interviews that sounds pretty great to me and it's only a matter of time before you land something. Hang in there!

    No, there's no system to help people who quit their job. Laid off, sure they can get unemployment. But if you quit you're screwed. Nobody in my family will help me, so I had to sell my magic decks and old pokemon merch to make a dent in my debt.

    Oh I see. That really sucks :( Here you can get welfare if youre not working regardless of if you quit, but you have to jump througha bunch of hoops to get it. That's a real shame you had to sell your things. I hope your luck turns around soon.

    Hello everybody, today was a terrible day for me because I'm increasingly struggling with the English class at college. Today, I was feeling like crying during the English class, so I (silently) told myself not to cry. I don't want to fail that class.

    ... At least, I managed not to cry in the classroom.

    Bleh, yeah, school can do that to you. Maybe email the professor or seek some outside class time with them to see if there are things they can recommend doing to keep on top of everything. A lot of the worrying is because of the fear of not knowing what might be coming next, but if you go to them for help and get some advice as to what you can do to get the best grades you can for the rest of the semester, it will help your confidence and ultimately help you do the best you can do when you're more prepared.

    Thank you for your advice, Victini. I hope it will be possible to talk with the teacher after the class this coming Wednesday.
