I hate hate hate cockroaches so much they’re everywhere in my house I can’t sleep at night because I sleep near the roof and I can hear them scurrying around which just makes me so uncomfortable and actually gets me crying because of it. My house is a mess and there’s just a huge mountain of clothes on the floor that no-one’s bothered to clean up because when my family actually do get to together to clean it up, someone just seems to toss another pile ontop without any regard so everyone got lazy including me. Yeah so I saw a pregnant cockroach crawl into that pile of clothes THAT WE STILL WEAR and it keeps me worried at night. There’s always a cockroach, ALWAYS. There’s always one on the ceiling, always one on the floor, ONE WAS IN MY BEDSHEETS ONCE AND IT FLEW OUT. No-one in my house wants to invest in a pest-controller because they think it’s a waste of money but I literally cannot stand this anymore. I get it, there’s cockroaches everywhere and I got used to them too last year, but this year there just seems to be wayy too much for my liking and I just want to burn my house down and run away. So now I’m just folding the clothes hoping that the pregnant cockroach hasn’t laid her egg yet in the pile or I’m screaming. i got u fam i also despise roaches but didnt want to shell out a few hundred for pest control. if u have $40 to spare, what u need is some Demon WP and Martin’s IGR (insect growth regulator). you can order them on amazon. mix those together in a old windex bottle and spray around your baseboards, doorways, vents, etc. its industrial grade pesticide that the professionals use. i used some on our condo bc our landlord wont cover pest control and we have not seen a single roach since— or any bug—in the 4 months since. it lasts about 7months before you need to respray, it makes enough to last years, and its safe for pets/other small critters |

I S2g if the neighbor doesn't turn their shower off, we're about to exchange some words.
It's 2:30 in the morning, since 1:00 AM I've been hearing the annoying whistly whooshy noise of their shower, and I can't sleep.
Who in world takes a shower for THAT long? Holy scrap.

I hate how much everyone in my life hates me and invalidates my feelings. I try to explain things to them, about how I'm feeling, and they just brush it off, and act like it was no big deal, like the other day, Serious TW: I told my sister that I was seriously considering just ending it all, and she laughed. I also hate the fact, that every little thing I do/say, is met with them getting all pissed off at me for no reason, like yeah, you may be stressed out, but you don't need to take it out on the purpose who is keeping your ass afloat. Who pays the majority of the rent? ME. Who watches your kid free of charge? ME. Would it hurt for you assholes to show a bit of gratitude and to be nice? And what is people being all like, "You know you love him." When I say I can't stand kids. I HATE noise, I hate chaos, I hate clinginess, kids are ALL of those, I have not felt happy since he was born, all I keep thinking about, is how my life is over, and it now must center around him. Though, I don't think it's all completely him getting me down, I think a lot of it could be my sister, because yesterday, she left for work before I woke up, so I didn't see her that day, and I actually felt happier, and more at peace, than I have in over a year, which is kind of jerkish of me, but eh. And the worst part is, my sister and her husband think I'm obligated to take care of him JUST as much as they are, even though, I had no part in creating him. I don't even mind that I have to watch him anymore, I just want more respect. |

You are at that age to afford a place. If you can afford your home, you can afford your own apartment on your own. If they bitch about you leaving, **** them. You deserve some peace. I think you need to move out. |

Saint AmbrosefThank you so much, it makes me really glad to know that you care  @bristleleaf I don't think I could afford to live on my own, I just pay the rent and buy food for me and the baby, and food for them too if they ask, but they pay the rest of the bills. I also probably couldn't live on my own due to my social issues. The only person, I can talk freely to without any fear or anything is my mom, I still have trouble initiating a conversation with my own siblings, including the one I live with. There's also the fact, that I'm terrified of leaving the house on my own. I know, it seems like I'm just making excuses, and I'm not trying to, man, I'd give anything to be normal like everyone else, but I'm not unfortunately.

Thank you so much, you're always so nice to me, even though I don't really deserve it lol. That's good to know, that you don't think I'm just some lazy bum, living off tax payers money like my family does. Anyway, my sister pays the electric, internet, the security system, the car, and her half of the bed, her husband pays on his student loan debt, and his half of the bed. That's all I can think of, she says, that all that together is like about 3k a month, which, I know I wouldn't have to pay A LOT of that stuff if I got a place of my own. It might help if I moved to a smaller town, the house I lived in before, the rent was 475, and now it's 580. I'm not sure if I can just ditch them like this, especially when they're going through money issues. But at the same time, they're always so rude to me lately, and don't appreciate anything I do, and if he wasn't so prideful, he could ask his rich family for help, his aunt literally owns three houses. But I can understand, people wanting to branch out on their own, and not wanting help from their family members, but still. |

But I can understand, people wanting to branch out on their own, and not wanting help from their family members, but still. i wish you wouldn't say things like that! you deserve respect and to be recognized for your human dignity. i think you live in OK if i remember right, which is pretty similar cost of living as here in texas. i can tell you that internet will run you around $40-60/mo, and electric really depends on how savvy you are with it. a very small apartment takes less than a big one. air conditioning is the big sucker-- if you're like me and willing to keep it at only 78F during the peak of summer, energy will probably cost you about $70/mo. water is usually included in rent prices. a car can be trickier. i'm assuming you dont have one already. you could buy a used beater car in a private sale (not from a dealer) for a few thousand (assuming you wouldnt need it much) but insurance for you would prob cost $200/mo (give or take $50). in which case you might be better off looking to live somewhere where you won't need a car (suburbs with some public transport if you need it, for instance, but not too far from a grocery store). let's also assume about $100/mo for groceries. so you're looking at an additional $210-250/mo in expenses on top of rent, assuming you went the no-car route. i have no idea what your income is, so that's something you'd have to decide if it was doable. at the very least, figuring out if you have a legitimate option to move out--even if you decide its not ultimately better for you--can be a big relief on your mental health. you won't feel so trapped, and you can even use concrete numbers like these to wave under your sisters' nose to show that they better treat you nicer, or their free babysitter and rent payer will be gone. |

Thank you! So do you. I don't drive, the thought of it terrifies me, what if I accidentally hurt someone? Though, when I lived in the town I lived in before moving to the city, there were a lot of places in walking distance, so I don't really have to worry much about that, if I were to move there. Either way, I don't mind walking, as long as there's someone with me, because it could be dangerous. I don't think I'd have much trouble with the power bill too much, my sister and her husband love the cold, so the house is constantly kept freezing. Me on the other hand, I hate the cold, and the heat doesn't bother me too much, so I probably wouldn't use it much. As for heat, I am used to living in a cold house, so that might not be too big of a deal either. I could actually maybe do that, if I moved out of the city 0_o wow. My sister told me all the time, that I'd never be able to afford living on my own, I can't believe there's actually a possibility! |

My sister told me all the time, that I'd never be able to afford living on my own, I can't believe there's actually a possibility! I would be very careful taking what your sister says at face-value. I'm not saying she's a bad person, but it sounds like she has some strong motivations to keep you thinking you need her, so I would view her critically in that regard. You could adopt a dog or something to help you feel safe while walking alone. Regardless of everything I've said, I'd suggest doing some research to make sure what I've quoted would apply to your area. For instance, I spent about $80/mo on groceries, but that's because i shop at an Adli (p much Walmart-equivalent prices). If the only store close to you was something bougie like Tom Thumb or a mom-and-pop independent grocery, you might spend more. it really depends on what you eat and where you get it. If you do decide to look into it seriously and pursue it as a future option, I'd suggest making sure you have some wiggle room between your expenses and income. Again, I have no idea what your income is, but I'd try to keep at least a few hundred dollars margin between your total expenses (rent, bills, food) and what you got coming in. That way you have money for emergencies, savings, treating yourself occasionally, medical expenses, etc. You could do this by keeping a steady margin between your income and expenses, or by finding a side hustle to make money. (I know you have big social anxiety, but there are some online gigs that, while they won't come close to supporting a full income, can help you make an extra hundred dollars or two a month). my hope for you is that, regardless if you take this option or not, your mental health can improve knowing there's at least a backdoor option! |

That's probably the main thing stopping me tbh, because if I really wanted to, I could move in with my mom and her creepy boyfriend, and help them out, and have a lot less stress. But my sister needs me more than they do, but them not having me to rely on might help them mature or something? Idk. |

Professor gave me a 89/100 which I'm thinking is pretty decent. He then tells me I can take my design "a little bit further" but doesn't explain and just sends pictures of examples.
My design would have to be overhauled and I'm content with what I did.
Do I completely restart for 11 points or leave it as is?

covid ment tw
every morning i wake up and expect to have developed covid symptoms overnight, no matter where i've been or if i've gone out within the last week.
had to go sell some stuff with my mom yesterday because we're low on money and the guy we went to didn't put a mask on until he realized he was making both of us uncomfortable. :/
we both kept our distance and obviously had masks but we had the stay in the same room as him for like 30mins and after that i spent most of the day struggling not to have a panic attack lol. and of course he mentions that he's pretty sure he's already had it but didn't say what timeframe,,,
if i start to develop symptoms within the next couple of days to a week or so then,,,, :' )
can't wait for this vaccine please please ple ase

setting a date is a nightmare...
my brother is shipping off in july to south korea for a year-long residency there, and he only gets one week of leave the whole time which he cant take in his first two months. that means the soonest he could come would be late september/early october. or before he leaves, in june, which my fiance is okay with but i would feel too much pressure planning a wedding in just sixth months (on top of our last semester of college).
the problem is that the cathedral has very limited availability: we can only get married on fridays at 2pm, or saturdays at 10am, 3pm, or 7:30pm. the best choice would be the 3pm because then we could slide into an evening reception at 4:30 when its over. however, we don't want to get married later than october if we can help it. the only september dates we can do is my mom's birthday (9/18), or the next weekend (9/25) which doesnt have a 3pm slot available. early october would be the sweet spot but the first two weekends of october coincide with ACL, a very big music festival that will create tons of downtown traffic and expensive hotel rates for out-of-town guests (the cathedral is downtown).
so the only option after that is october 23rd IF it doesnt get booked before we can book it. we have to jump through some hoops first, like submit an intake form, set up a virtual meeting, pay the deposit, and have our childhood parishes submit proof of our baptisms/confirmations (basically prove we are actually catholic). and THEN we can book a date. but all that could take at least a week...

How is it
that I can do all the homework right and get 100% on it
and check my work with the math tutors who say "yeah, that's right"
and do the quiz the exact same way
And completely fail it?
Also, hey math professor, you want to actually like... grade the quiz with feedback or am I just supposed to take the 40%? You don't actually answer your email, so like.. what do I do?

Email from my math professor came in and I have officially lost all motivation to do literally anything.
I sent an email to the Registrar's office asking what the process is for retaking a course, because at this point that's my only option (though technically it is an elective so I guess I could just run away screaming).
I'm really mad because this is the second math course I've failed, and both instances of failure were not because of the actual math. I know Stats and I know Multivariable Calculus. What I don't know is computer coding that the professor expects us to know but won't teach (the reason I failed Stats), and how to adapt to a new professor coming in halfway through the semester and discounting all of the assignments I did well on, not announcing new assignments, not giving partial credit, and generally being incredibly stingy with any kind of communication (the reason I'm failing Multivariable right now).
It's just... so unbelievably upsetting. And if the Registrar doesn't let me withdraw, then I may not even be able to retake it next quarter...

This is a very minor rant but
Never get pumpkin spiced coffee in a mixture of different kinds, the pumpkin spice completely overpowers the rest of them, and now it's like I'm drinking hot, lightly spiced, water.

I love pumpkin spice anything except coffee. I don't know why, but the pumpkin spice and the coffee flavors do not mix and it tastes disgusting. |

That's probably what I'd least likely get XD My first choice is mocha, then caramel, then hazelnut, then everything else, then French Vanilla XD Also, to keep this thread on topic, I hate that I have no idea where the coffee maker or the espresso maker went |

I've barely done anything productive this week and I hate it. I hate it. It takes me like three hours to transition into work mode and by that time I can only work for like... 20 minutes before something comes up.
I had the world's shortest to-do list this week, too. I could have finished everything by Tuesday, but now I'm trying to scramble on a Friday. This is so stupid.
