Staying Or Leaving
Posted on January 27, 2008 - Filed Under College, Life-In-General |
Central to the pressing matter of what I’m going to do next year is where I’m going to do it. Sometimes Cork doesn’t seem so bad, but other times I want to bolt directly to the other side of the world just to get away from its drab buildings, awful weather and various other minor/major/absolutely soul-crushing Cork-based things that being here requires me to deal with. So to people who know me well, do you think I really want out of here, or do I just like complaining about living here?
(I know well that it’s ultimately something for me to decide by myself, I’m just wondering what you think.)

i recon youll complain regardless. Its a personality trait. Cork is the same as everywhere. It is what you make it, and you only get out what you put in.
You’ll just be unhappy in City X until you find what’s in the place your at that makes it worth being there even through the hard times.
*you’re*
I’m not sure you’ve really experienced cork yet. Have you? It’s a really fun place actually and most foreigners who come here will agree.
But I can relate to what you’re going through, because I’ve been there myself. For me, the solution was to just throw myself into things that I knew would be challenging and that I didn’t necessarily need to be doing to survive, namely, all the volunteering I did last year. All that lead to the great job I have, which in turn lead to the great girlfriend I have. And I couldn’t be better right now. I’m great.
Plan:
1. Get a job. They’re cool for many reasons, money only being one.
2. Get a girlfriend. They’re cool for many reasons, gratuitous bukkake sessions only being one.
3. Move out. This is a really good way of throwing yourself into something challenging. Requires 1 and added bonus points for 2.
Say say say! Wait a minute, these are just things which would be really cool, but aren’t actually helpful at all.
Not really, I mean none of them will be given to you tomorrow on a plate, but effort etc.
Oh, sleepy.
