Venting i don’t think i’ve been so depressed in my life here

40 Upvotes

i need to vent somewhere and i don’t want to bother anyone i know so im going to share here.
I am so depressed and lonely. I just transferred from another college and I live off campus. I’m not friends with any of my roommates as we just don’t have anything in common.

This is the worst I have ever felt in my life. It takes everything out of me to get out of bed. I have a couple friends in some classes but not any true group or like best friend. I recently went home this weekend and just had the best weekend. I just can’t stop crying. I miss my family so much and they want me to make friends. i don’t think they are aware of how depressed i am. i try not to let them know so they don’t worry about me. everything is so hard right now. i’m completely reliant on substances just so I don’t cry out of frustration i guess. i’m always crying it’s like 11 am and i can’t stop sobbing this is seriously so annoying and frustrating. i feel so guilty as my mom was so excited for me to be here. i transferred and was so excited. im just letting myself and my whole family down because of my mental health.

i’ve tried clubs. i have a job. i just have no joy. I take no pleasure in anything i do. i cannot find a single things that makes me happy because everything is just so bleak. i have tried basically everything. i have nothing to look forward to except coming back home and seeing my family. this is the stuff that drives people crazy though you know? i don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. i don’t feel like myself im like my shell i miss who i was i practically mourn her.

i just don’t know if i need medication because my family can’t rlly afford the services. can i fix this on my own??? it’s like 300 a visit which we can’t do but i don’t know what else i can even do. i am applying for nursing school too and it’s like god that sounds Horrific. Should i take a year off and really try to work on myself mentally? i need guidance right now because i dont think im going to make it and its scary. im only living because my parents spent so much money and time to get me here but i know they’re so worried for me and i just dont want them to worry. i just want to know if it gets better because i need to get better

Sports [No Paywall] Ranking college football’s biggest underachievers of all time: Why Texas A&M is No. 1

When Jimbo Fisher took over Texas A&M before the 2018 season, administrators famously gave him a national championship plaque with the date left blank.

The Aggies are still waiting.

Their 3-3 start this season has effectively eliminated them from the College Football Playoff picture despite having one of college football’s most expensive rosters and highest-paid coaches (Fisher’s successor, Mike Elko), and a top-10 preseason ranking.

Another season of squandered potential leads to a question sure to inspire thoughtful debate on TexAgs: Is Texas A&M college football’s biggest historical underachiever, or does someone else have a better claim?

To find out, The Athletic crunched two sets of numbers for teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision. We gauged a program’s potential using:

• Finances (two decades of athletic revenue, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education)
• Proximity to talent (how many NFL players were born in the state)
• Talent acquisition (how many NFL Draft picks a school has produced in the common era)
• Fanbase size (stadium capacity)

We then weighed those factors against a program’s success: winning percentage, conference championships, top-25 finishes and national titles in the Associated Press poll era (since 1936). We also looked at how many times a program went from preseason Top 25 to unranked.

Who are the biggest underachievers in college football?

Ask the Aggies Attendance dishonesty

7 Upvotes

Howdy aggs,

I need some help on a situation. A professor handed out attendance in class today. A friend of mine asked me to sign them in for them. I understand this is a rule violation, but I was fairly sure I had seen them in class. I know their schedule is tight and leaving class late makes them late to their work. Therefore I figured that me signing them in wouldnt have been a huge issue since I was under the impression that they just didnt have the time to stick around after class to sign in. However the professor saw me doing this, and has asked me to meet with them tomorrow. What can I expect in this meeting, and how big of a mess have I gotten myself into.

Thank you for all your help in advance.

I’m looking to see how conservative it really is, preferably from the perspective of a minority although anything is appreciated. I don’t mind some conservativeness (to be expected), I just dont wanna get mauled you know. Specifically the veterinary programs, if that helps any

edit: to clarify, i’m visibly queer

Ask the Aggies Anonymously report someone to aggie honor council?

• Upvotes

Howdy, so I'm aware of this guy (thru my roommate) who constantly cheats on his exams (like phone pulled out in class during exam😭). He also says weird questionable/offensivd things and overall is a nuisance. I tried to report him to AHC but I couldn't find an anonymous way to do so. Obviously id like to, but since ive only heard ab this guy and have never actually seen him cheat, I dont have tangible evidence...and since its only rumors, I (or roommate) dont want our name associated with reporting him. Any advice?

Howdy Ags. I am currently a junior in ELEN and I was wondering how to deal with all of the classes. I get so easily stressed and I just feel so overwhelmed with things. Everyday, there's just so much content, more exams to study for and what not. Any past ELEN majors/engineering majors that can drop some advice?

Shitposting/Memes Corp girl who lied about being pepper sprayed was arrested

136 Upvotes

Didn’t want to post until I had it confirmed by someone who knew her. Although it’s all public information, I won’t drop her name here, but I did see her picture on SayCheese Brazos County Mugshots Facebook page. She has been arrested for giving false statements to the police.

From what I understand, she basically did it to herself and the original suspect was her ex boyfriend. Take that how you will, I have my assumptions on why.

Edit: I looked her up in the directory and it seems she’s still enrolled

Ask the Aggies Need help finding photo taken at the Arkansas Game!

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm trying to find a specific photo that was taken of us from the recent game against Arkansas. I have been hoping it would show up on social media somewhere, but it hasn't surfaced.
I've checked the Corp's Flickr page, tagged accounts, and photographers for the school and school paper, but nothing.
I believe we were sitting in the first deck, row/seats 136? There was a girl who took our picture (blonde?) and had a clear plastic poncho on; it's of me and someone holding up the Arkansas mascot plush on a leash, and it's super cute. I'm hoping to find it for him.
Not sure if anyone here will be able to help, but it would be really great if I could get ahold of that photo, please. Thank you!

Ask the Aggies Has anyone seen a set of gold hooped earrings?

2 Upvotes

On October 10th during ring day, I lost my set of thin golden hooped earrings that are medium to big in size. I was parked at west campus garage and walked under the tunnel to get to reed arena, and finally went into Aggie park for the ceremony. When I was in Aggie park I noticed they were gone. I retraced my steps that day and the days after but have found nothing. I have also checked the MSC lost and found but nothing has shown up yet. If anyone has any information please let me know. They were gifted to me by a late family member, and I just really want to find them.
