  • Should I leave university?

    There are very few people whom I trust to help me make life decisions, besides strangers on the internet.

    I will try to make write the short version.

    I am a 20 year old student of a technical university and an aspiring programmer + beginning mobile application developer. Studying though, it takes all the joy out of my life, all the time to spend with the people I care about. My grades are miserable and it seems like I would have to retake several classes, if I did not fail(which is currently quite probable). School has taught me nothing. Everything I know today and can do, I learned on my own, or with friends.

    Due to the problems at uni and a lack of basically any enjoyment of my life, I have become severely depressed, started having health problems and ruined one or two relationships with people close to me (partially due to seeking the solution to my problems at the bottom of several bottles).

    I am really scared I will never get a shot at utilizing my talent at work, because of a few letters missing from my name.

    What is thy opinion? Thank you for, at least, reading.

  • Math equation - does it add up?

    I have it in my notes, other people have it too and in my mind it just does not work. I am probably overlooking something shockingly obvious.

    ( (-1)^n ) * ( (-1)^(n*(n-1)/2) ) = ( (-1)^(n*(n-1)/2) )

    n is a whole number, n>1

    If I am correct (which I highly doubt) and it is wrong, what could be changed to correct it?

  • How is internet connection affected if connected via router?

    Currently, my pc is connected via an etherned cable to the modem, providing 1.0Gb/s. I consider speed very important, as all my work needs sending very large amounts of data from device to device. I will be getting a router to connect my other devices (laptop, tablet, phone) and not have to set up LAN networks all the time. So I am just curious about the speed, since my pc does not have wireless capabilities, how much is cable speed affected, if I change:

    from

    Modem --> PC

    to

    Modem --> Router --> PC

  • How to tell strumming patterns from sheet music?

    I am quite new to guitar playing, I can play a couple songs, let's say decently. I just now got a songbook and I'd love to learn how to play some of my favourites properly.

    If you could also redirect me to some online material on the topic, that would be great.

    Sorry for being such a noob. Thanks.

  • When someone writes you and you reply "glad to hear it/read it"?

    What is the correct response? Saying you're glad to hear it is inaccurate, since you read it, but saying you're glad to read it just sounds wrong. What is the correct procedure here, if any?

  • Why do people stay in contact with their ex?

    I have been getting increasingly interested in this topic, asking questions here, talking to friends and a reason I got from a friend and he said and I quote: "Because I might get back together with her". Only other one was from another friend and she was uncertain, if she still had feelings for him. So far I have never heard anything to contradict what I think. And I think the only reason to be in contact with your ex is that it is not over and there are feelings involved. What do you think?

  • White lie or dark truth?

    Which one would you rather hear? Would you like it if you were lied to, because of sparing your feelings or letting you think something better than is in reality?

  • How to be a little more selfish?

    I have been noticing, more and more, that I just do stuff I completely hate, help people I cannot stand etc. I also do not tell people when I want something or that something bothers me, I just let it go, because I just don't want anything that would cost someone anything. Money, effort, not even a little bit of time. How do I get rid of this? At least a bit, because I have been feeling more unhappy and I really do not want much, just can't force myself to get something for myself.

  • How to deal with my girlfriend's "best friend"?

    Ok, so she has had this friend for quite a while. In my opinion, he is being really inappropriate around her. Even talked to her about wanting to sleep with her. I told her I have a problem with this. Nothing came from that.

    Obviously I cannot tell her to stop being friends with him, because whatever you do or say in a relationship can and will be used against you.

    So, any ideas on what to do?

  • Should I quit my job?

    I work in a company that makes me feel real bad. I earn money thats allright. I still go to school. I have barely any time left to spend with my family, my girlfriend and my friends. I can see my coworkers, boses etc who have just given up on life and become work drones. I wake up in the morning, feeling like I don't want to feel anything and I go to bed dreading the moment I wake up. What do I do?

  • What should I do about the girl?

    Here's the basics. We went out as friends, although I have liked her for a while now. Then when we were saying our goodbyes as we left for home, she wanted to kiss me on the cheek, but I sort of didn't let it be my cheek. We kissed for a while and then she left. I am away for the weekend. And I am also worried that she did it because we drank a bit. What do I do? Do I call her, write her? Now, or after I am back?
