See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

have you ever been in a long distance relationship? if i were closer, i’d want to see her a decent amount of time. but since i’m not, i feel like i want to see her all the time when i’m away. it makes me feel needy…but if i did get to see her more reg

i have not, actually. i don’t think i could and i’ve never wanted to. for me part of the INCREDIBLE JOY OF RELATIONSHIPS is living your lives together, helping each other – not just seeing each other in tiny, concentrated weekends in which all else must be forgotten. (IMPORTANT: if you’re lacking parental units, as i am, ideally you need a best friend who can also be your life helper. otherwise you get codependent. ) you know like i am crying on the bed can you come over. please come to the party with me so we can make fun of everyone together. my hair looks cute today wanna see it. let’s have sex right now. ok after work. i want cheeseburgers for dinner do you want to come over and make cheeseburgers. did you like the apartment i saw yesterday. did i spell that word right. i have a knot in my back underneath my shoulder blade. no, there. yes. thank you.

did you have a question. my answer is i would feel the same way. i would feel how you feel, and i would feel weird about it, because it’s so much easier to balance out time when you’ve got all the time in the world.

My dad passed away at the beginning of the semester and i know it’s not an excuse but i seem to have lost all motivation. As a result i haven’t turned in a few assignments for one class but am afraid to talk to my professor. What should i do? I can’t fail

that’s not an excuse baby, that’s a reason.
talk to your professor. ask someone for help. it helped me to take a specific amount of time off from working. the day i was scheduled to go back to ‘life’ was like a finish line in my mind. a goal.
i also gave myself permission to royally fuck up and throw my feelings everywhere during that time off. i don’t know if that’s the best way to deal with grief. probably not.
talk to your professor. i’m so so sorry.

Riese wants to say: This happened to me too, my freshman and sophomore year of high school. my freshman year i just could not do AC Geometry. my dad used to help me with math and then he died and I mostly just wanted to die too and the last thing i wanted to do was geometry. i still don’t understand the point of it. i talked to my teacher. i was really honest. i failed the final exam, like flat on my fucking face, and i got that final exam with an F on it and then i got my report card with a B. she gave me a B when i deserved a D. it was one of the nicest things anyone did for me that year. There’s a spot on college applications where you can explain why your grades suck for this or that year, too. generally i found schoolwork a welcome distraction, but when it came to subjects i hated i just couldn’t fucking do it. you’ll be okay grasshopper.
