How Can I Deal With The Life Here? I Literally Have Like No Friends At This College In The City?


Im a freshman in college in a big city. But its not a college friendly city. I feel like I literally have no friends. Im not a complete anti social person, its just that many friendships have drifted away. Especially since I dont live on campus (i live 25 min away by subway downtown in a university affiliated housing. It has like 1% of all the students at my college)
There was a group on facebook for my class. Literally all my close friends in the beginning of the year were from that facebook group (we chatted over the summer and stuff). Without that group, I would have had literally 0 friends the entire year.
My closest friend ever at this school was a guy named Steven. We got along so well and we were such great friends. So close to the point where we actually dated. Long story short it ended badly because he was horrible at communication. He was too immature to discuss a relationship, even though we literally in one. Just not officially. He never spoke to me again after i told him we were a mistake. (i said that because he was being a complete dick head to me and very rude) That was a little past the middle of september when we broke up
When I compare my life back in September, to now, its completely different. Back then I had such a busy social schedule. I was never ever alone. If I was alone, it was like for an hour or two max per day. Literally. I had people constantly texting me to hang out. I just had a solid group
No one really contacts me to see how im doing. I mean, I have one friend that contacts me a few times a week to eat meals with her and chat. Then I have another that contacts me like every other week or so to see how im doing, but other than that no. One girl who I thought i was close with, is now mainly a professional relationship. I am president of a club, and I am essentially her boss. So when we talk, its just about the organization and responsibilites.
My roommate is not mean, its just that we never talk.
Its just so lonely and isolating here. No one on my floor talks to me because of the breakup with Steven. Steven is the most popular guy on my floor, and they all side with him. This is such a terrible thing to say, but I feel like I could drop dead in my room, and no one would notice. I mean, literally no one on my floor has talked to me since last semester except for two people saying hello.
Its not like i have a huge problem with this lifestyle. I mean, its pretty productive because I have more time to devote to my extracurriculars and my non-profit job. But still, when I see like on facebook and stuff how social everyone is compared to me, its kinda depressing. Even just hearing Steven outside my door in the hall with his friends, and all the parties they have in his room make me feel a bit excluded.
I tried making plans with a “friend” (though clearly she aint my friend) for last thursday. At that point we had seen eachother ONCE since November. And that one time was just dinner for a half hour. So I texted her about plans. She said “sure thing. dinner thursday. text me thursday girl!” then i texted her on thursday at noon about dinner. She never responded. Ive given up. I just cant extend myself to these people anymore. (its not just that. she is friendly with Steven now, and ever since that she hasnt talked to me)
I feel like Steven is the queen bee, and im the complete opposite. He is so popular and everyone adores him. Boys and girls. Yet I definitely dont get that attention…

I Need Advise On Where To Start And What To Do About My Farm.?


I am 23 year old male and am looking to get away i was raised in the country and hate the city. I have children and can understand that a full time profit farm is far from hand but i want to get to that point. i am looking at land near nashville and want to start a nice farm maybe 20 acres or 40 at the most for start up. i am pretty green under the thumb and some equine experience but in my opinion horses are more for hobby and less of a money maker. can anyone shoot some ideas with some tips on easy start ups on a farm? the areas i am looking at are livestocking pigs and when a little more on my feet some cattle. as for others i was talking to my god mother and she brought up gardening and foliage. i have been looking at trees that give good bloom and nice vine flowers that i can use to buetify my farm yet also sell in a farmers market with our candels and other crafts.
sooooooooo long story what would yall say is feesable i am more than willing to answer q and a and maybe get some nice insight i tried to reach out to the circles here but everyone seems to hold a secret “on the next runner up that will take bread off there table”
basic low down of the farm will be
*livestock (what kind and what kind of profit can be made form it)
*foliage (is there a profit here besides the obvious sight on the homefront)
*and also a last tidbit i have read a little adn always been curious maybe beekeeping i hear there honey sells well and also there good for the foliage.

So Why Is Scott Walker Against Unions In Wisconsin?


Public sector employee contracts are written by the union and rubber-stamped by Democrats — and the taxpayers only find out years later that public school teachers are allowed to get a full year’s pay for 30 days’ work over three years after they retire — as is the case in Green Bay, Wis., where one out of every 12 teachers retired this year to take advantage of the “emeritus” scam.
This is what all the commotion is about in Wisconsin. Republican Gov. Scott Walker isn’t even trying to eliminate collective bargaining for government workers’ salaries. He only wants to eliminate collective bargaining over their conditions of employment, which has led to massive inefficiencies.
Thanks to union grievance procedures, the union representing school crossing guards filed a formal complaint over a sweet old man volunteering to get the kids across the street in Wausau, Wis. Warren Eschenbach, an 86-year-old retiree, had been volunteering each morning as a crossing guard at a school near his home. But according to the union, only a highly paid government employee should be permitted to do that job.
Fifth-grader Megan Sichterman, told WAOW, an ABC affiliate, “I was really sad because all the kids really like him. He’s really nice to everybody, and I was kind of scared at the same time that we wouldn’t see him on the corner anymore.”
Even in the middle of the battle over collective bargaining rights for government unions, the snowplow operators’ union filed a grievance against Racine, Wis., to demand paid days off for snowplow operators … after a snowstorm.
After a massive storm shut down the city for two days, snowplow operators thought they deserved two paid days off on account of all the snow, like other government employees got.
The snowplowers’ union also filed a grievance against the city for hiring private plowing services to help with the snow removal. Perhaps it was that troublemaker Warren Eschenbach showing up with a snow shovel and volunteering to help clear the streets.
No government snowplow operators were laid off and plenty of them worked overtime after the blizzard — but the union thought Racine should remain immobilized by snow for a week so that government snowplow operators could get even more overtime.
In the private sector, a company that capitulated to such ludicrous union demands would go out of business

Ok, So My Boyfriend Is Dumb And I Need Help Dealing With It, Help?


I live in another city than my boyfriend because I moved away from my home to attend university. I moved before I started dating him, and before we really even knew each other well for that matter. I go back almost every weekend and stay with him, and he comes in to see me once during the week. We only live an hour a way so it’s not that far away, and seeing one another three days a week is pretty good. But the thing is before we were dating I turned him down for a long while because I have a preference for Asian guys, and I was honest with him about this when I turned him down. I don’t know it seemed like a better way of doing things. ” It’s not that you’re not a good guy, or that you’re not attractive, it’s just that you don’t really fit into my niche or so to speak”. But he was nice enough to me, and persistent enough to win me over in the end, what can I say.
But the thing is, I think it still stuck with him and well…. now he’s a bit paranoid. It started jokingly with us watching TV, and whenever an Asian guy would pop up he’d be like. “Oh no! You can’t watch this! You’ll realize you like Asians better and run off on me lol” and we’d laugh, and I’d be like “oh yeah, just look at him (like an 80 year old guy), solely based on the fact that he’s Asian I find him attractive!” he’d be like “NOOOOOOOOOO!” and we laughed and it was over. And paired with that he found out….how do I say this, my drive is quite high, and I enjoy what we do together, and I like to enjoy it a lot. So for whatever reason that got him thinking that I have had lots of partners before….which is a little insulting considering I had told him that I had only ever had one boyfriend before, and it was for like 1 year, which is true.
So with that, and a little tuff we got into after he kinda implied I was heavy jokingly (which I’m not -.-), I said that his tackle was small to make a point. (A boyfriend telling his girlfriend she’s fat is like a girlfriend telling her boyfriend his junk is small). I clearly said that that was the point and that’s not what I actually think, we apologized to one another and I thought it was over. But now he’s got it in his head that.
A: I don’t find him attractive
B: I’m crazy horny all the time
C: I think his junk is too small
To finally, he has it in his head that I have an F buddy in the city to keep me while he’s away….honestly. Facepalm worthy? Yes, yes I think so.
I never thought that he was so self conscious, but I guess it makes sense. He is a slim guy who’s friend’s beat on him all the time cause he’s not as built, and make fun of him for it. And whenever he gets drunk he always talks about how happy he is that I gave him a chance, and how I’m too good for him, and how beautiful I am and all this junk. I don’t think that he 100% believes it, but it’s a “joke” that comes out a little too much.
I tried to shake it out of his head with sarcasm by saying DRENCHING WITH SARCASM “OH YEAH! Gonna go back to my apartment and play with the stash of random naked men I keep hidden around my house, that you’ve never noticed before. OH YEAH! BIG BLACK MEN! ASIAN MEN! You name it!” I couldn’t have been more sarcastic, but even though I don’t think he fully 100% thinks I’m cheating on him, It still hurts that’s it’s even in the back of his mind. And it’s all so stupid ’cause he’s the one that even started the replacement partner crap. He would tease me about me being his “weekend girlfriend” and how the “others” are going to be jealous. I don’t take it seriously, why does he?
What should I do? Just sitting down with him and straight up saying IM NOT CHEATING ON YOU, seems dumb over something that itself is so dumb.

Really Weird Epic Dream!?


I have a lot of epic dreams but this one stood out more than most because it was so realistic. I could even make out every single hair on a character’s head in the dream. It was also very odd and seemed to apply to my life but i cannot figure it all out. So here is what happened:
I’m walking though a big city, there are many people walking all around me. These people are all wearing suits, and gray and emotionless. I seem to be the only thing in color in the whole city. I am compelled to find my way back to this heaven-like place, where I feel as if i had been to in a previous dream. I am so compelled to go back to this place I feel as if I would do anything to go back, and escape this gray city.Then a voice in my head tells me to find this special tree. I am distressed because there are no trees in this city, but then I look to the side and there is suddenly colorful, not gray garden, which is surrounded by these big cream colored walls blocking it out from the rest of the city. I walk into the garden and find the tree. I climb the tree and the voice tells me to close my eyes and say some word three times. I do it and I suddenly appear in a dark room, that seemed to be carved out of a mountain. The room is full of people that all have huge guns and seem to be part of a black market. I am with a group of my friends that I had met previously before in the heaven-like place. We start speaking this language that I have never heard, but seem to know, to try and coax our way out of this place without being killed. We barley make it out of the cavern, and suddenly appear in the heaven-like place. I know this place, and its whole being fills me with joy. It is a grassy green field. The sun is sparkling and the whole place is shining. Where the field ends there is a sparkling ocean, and behind the field are some mountains. In the middle of the field is a house, but the house is a giant teapot with a wooden door. Gravity is light in this place and you could easily jump 6 feet high with ease. My friends and I start jumping and having fun, but i feel as if i am the slowest and the weakest (much like real life) and I cannot run and jump as fast or as well as the others. One of my friends is amazingly gorgeous and can jump the highest and run the fastest. I envy her and suddenly I feel as if i can barley run anymore, which distresses me almost to a point of insanity. But, then my friends interrupt my failed attempts at running and jumping. They tell me of their plans. My friends and I are apparently some organization created to protect this dragon creature from these authorities that are set on destroying it. The teapot house is our secret head quarters and we hid the dragon in a cavern to the side of the field. I am told that the field is to never be discovered or else this important dragon will be killed. I then agree to help protect the dragon and keep their secrets. I suddenly spot a castle to the corner of the field and run towards it. I walk into the castle and there is a party going on. I am suddenly told that I am the princess of the castle. I feel very important, and proceed to explore my new castle. I walk into a dark office-like hallway. I open one of the doors on the side, and there is a very tall girl with blonde and brunette hair. This girl immediately strikes me as odd and not quite mentally sane, so I am very mean to her for no reason and shut the door. I feel as if I CAN be mean to her because I am the princess and I can do what ever I want. I open the next door in the hallway, and the same girl is in that room also. All she does is stare at me from the dark room. I open another door and she is in that room also. I open every door in the hallway, only to find the same girl just standing there. I now know I cannot escape this hallway without apologizing to this girl. I open one of the doors and apologize. I talk to her for a little while and leave. When I leave the castle I feel remorseful that I was so selfish and mean to this girl. I return back to the teapot house, only to find the dragon creature dead. I was supposed to protect it but instead I had gone to the castle. I feel horrible that I that had gotten so distracted by the castle, that I killed the poor creature.
After I find the dragon dead, I wake up. Any ideas what it could mean??

North Korea Recalled Russian Workers To Be Prepared For War. Your Thoughts?


A mass exodus of North Korean workers from the Far East of Russia is under way, according to reports coming out of the region.
As the two Koreas edged towards the brink of war this week, it appears that the workers in Russia have been called back to aid potential military operations.
Vladnews agency, based in Vladivostok, reported that North Korean workers had left the town of Nakhodka en masse shortly after the escalation of tension on the Korean peninsula earlier this week. “Traders have left the kiosks and markets, workers have abandoned building sites, and North Korean secret service employees working in the region have joined them and left,” the agency reported.
Russia’s migration service said that there were over 20,000 North Koreans in Russia at the beginning of 2010, of which the vast majority worked in construction. The workers are usually chaperoned by agents from Kim Jong-il’s security services and have little contact with the world around them. Defectors have suggested that the labourers work 13-hour days and that most of their pay is sent back to the government in Pyongyang. Hundreds of workers have fled the harsh conditions and live in hiding in Russia, constantly in fear of being deported back to North Korea.
“North Korea’s government sends thousands of its citizens to Russia to earn money, most of which is funnelled through government accounts,” says Simon Ostrovsky, a journalist who discovered secret North Korean logging camps in the northern Siberian taiga. “Workers are often sent to remote locations for years at a time to work long hours and get as little as three days off per year.” Now it appears that some kind of centralised order has been given for the workers to return home.
Russia’s Pacific port of Vladivostok is thousands of miles and seven time zones from Moscow, but only around 100 miles from the country’s heavily controlled border with North Korea. In 1996, a diplomat from the South Korean consulate in the city was murdered with a poisoned pencil, in what was widely believed to be a hit carried out by the North’s secret agents. There are even two North Korean restaurants in the city. It is not known how many of the workers in other Russian towns have been called back to their homeland this week, or whether the exodus is permanent or temporary.
