iluvtofly 0 #1 January 20, 2009 WARNING!!!!! RANT AHEAD So I just got home from failing my state exam and realizing that my life is completely fucked. I had to pass the test today in order to start training next week. This required putting in to go part time at my current job 2 weeks ago. So now I can't start training next week and i'm stuck at part-time at my current job which I hate. I haven't had enough money to pay my bills the last couple months as it is. So I figure I'll be homeless in the next couple months. Yes I can retake the test in 2 days but I'll just fail again. I've done nothing but study for it for the past month. So 2 more days isn't going to help. So my life is fucked and there's no fixing it. Please no lectures I'm just having a really really shitty day.

LisaH 0 #4 January 20, 2009 First, don't be so hard on yourself. Second, the worst thing you can do it tell yourself there is "no fixing it" and that you will fail. Get to studying some more and take it again!! If you don't try, it can't happen. If you walk with a negative attitude, only negative will happen. Think positive! Good luck. Be yourself!

banesanura 1 #5 January 20, 2009 Look at this as a challenge. You will over come it and you will just have to start getting a little creative to make ends meet. Yeah- jobs are going to suck but think of the people and the networks you are building, use it to your advantage. Just to keep in mind to stand back up when you fall. It will only make you stronger.Best Girl Scout Ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #8 January 20, 2009 QuoteWhat do you do when you realize your life is completely fucked? Whine, bitch, rant, cry and complain about it for the appropriate amount of time. Then get back up, brush self off, reframe the negatives into positives and get the fuck on with it. Hope tomorrow is a better day for ya. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #13 January 20, 2009 Quote Yes I can retake the test in 2 days but I'll just fail again Only if you allow yourself to believe that. Look at it this way, you now know what kind of questions are on the test and what type of questions you had problems with. Hit the books and study up on the areas you felt weak in and keep a positive attitude. You can do it, just believe in yourself.

happythoughts 0 #14 January 20, 2009 I told my son, "As a guy, you have three choices." - Have immensely wealthy parents. - Become a crack dealer and die in prison. - Make your own life. Most of the time, when things get bad, only one person suffers. Generally, others will listen, but no one else is coming to save me. Whenever I hit an obstacle, I consider all that and then figure out a new plan. I would suggest finding an online website with sample test questions, do all of them, and then re-do the test. Do nothing and you'll be here, in the same spot, 5 years from now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigra 0 #17 January 20, 2009 OK, first of all, I think you are way too young to have a completely f---ed life. Seriously.

AggieDave 6 #21 January 20, 2009 I have experienced some serious setbacks in my life. Every single time my dream of my life has been shut down, another opportunity has presented its self. Sometimes they were options that I had never considered before. Either way, my life now is not nearly how I planned it. Not even close; however, I couldn't imagine my life being any better or being happier if my "dreams" had worked out like I had hoped. I'm thankful for the failure, since I have now found myself more successful.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
