What does everybody do?

When you're not on the hipforums, what do you do in real life?

I'm a student at Aberdeen college doing my 2+2 in Social Sciences (2 years at college then 2 at university)

Well i TRIED to do so many things

Ive been a shop worker, a nursery nurse, translator, plain old babysitter, student

Unfortunately things keep stopping me in my tracks, like needing to travel and most recently, illness

Nowadays im on the hunt for work again. I check out job opportunities online or at the centre and phone places and play with our 5 lovely bunnies here at home all day. Then when my fiancé gets home we usually go out somewhere

What i REALLY want out of life is to be of use to others somehow and make a difference to peoples lives. They just dont want to co-operate though

But im happy, even if im in a resting phase

 

Thats cool, a mixture is always good. I once heard a saying it went: 'better to know a little about a lot than a lot about a little'. I liked it.

I started a computing degree when I left school but went off of it completely by the first year so left with just the HNC.
Then i had a job as a coastguard for a year but left that due to illness, and here I am now back at college...

Iv'e been thinking about trying to get a job at an oxfam in town or something, anything to try and get out of this small town.

 

Yeah im looking into work like that or even some voluntary work...Anything to pass the hours in a way thats meaningful to this place and that means i can make a difference. Its kind of odd how things have turned out for me. I was all up for an A-levels then uni solid career setup, but some very odd things popped up and now i drift about from one thing to the other

I like that saying though. If its true im in the best position

Do you think youll stay in college now then?

Its good to know the options always there for me if wandering so much starts to make it seem too aimless

 

I know what you mean about finding a job that is of some value! Hope you find one soon

Yeah I think ill stay on this course this time right through to the end, its something Im interested in and do well in some of the subjects. Its getting near winter though and getting up in the cold mornings in this cold house isnt the easiest!

 

well considering im only 14 im a student. I will become a movie director star who will own a pig/monkey farm and Ill be rich and great and yeahhh... Well thats the plan.

I go on rantforum... And I waste my time after school. I go to art club (which is hilarious) i go to the park with my best friend in my lunch hour and try to resist the alluring swings... Which i have wasted my whole lunch on before... Yeah i also roll down the hill and spin around in circles... Im a sad sad person its AWESOME!!

 

Sounds like fun

 

it is mostly.

 

I go to school/political things/the pub.

Im quite a simple person really.

 

I work 9-5 Mon-Fri for a voluntary organisation which is a charity funded by the assembly called WCVA and we help fund community project, give info on grants and point people in the right direction for volunteering. And we cover the whole of Wales. It is really ace!

When I'm not doing that I'm spending quality time with the hubby! Ha! Hangin out with mates and I am also on the committee of my local arts organisation called 'Cambria Arts' where I help decide which bands to book for the gigs we hold twice a month And sometimes I sit n at the gallery

 

Does your job help to set up things like local youth clubs etc?

 

Hey Nay!

We could certainly point you in the right direction. I will PM you my email and if you email with what you are looking for I shall defo try and help.

Thanks my lovely xx

 

Yes, I am 25 and am unemployed so time is of abundance to just chat with other people in my situation at the New deal course in Eltham. In the evenings, I slam the door on the world and watch a bit of tv. I am a home person, and I like the creature comforts that home can bring. Either roasting on an open radiator or bathing in a lavender scented bath with candle light dancing off the walls casting shadows and whatnot. There I feel relaxed, naked and wet. It has no windows so I cannot see the world. Just terracotta walls and pictures of palm beach and palm trees-bliss.

When I go out into Town, I am alone. WHen I cry, I am alone. I guess I am in nowhere land. There is nothing but aloneness. I hug my teddies and have recently buried a teddy. It was awful. Put up tombstone in communal garden under a giant bunch of flowers. I hope heaven can accomodate teddy bears?

Life sucks for me right now. I am involved in a huge fight with an old friend of mine. I know the day will come quickly, when I walk out that door and go my way. But I know, I will never forget her. I am so not over her. But still, we cannot relate with each other. A huge void. Nobody can build a bridge.

I occasionally go to the library, I do shopping for food-mostly. I go into London rarely and I feel the cool breeze of the thames, as I sit alone in Greenwich park feeding the squirrels. They love me and I love them more.

 

I'm a writer and MA student....

 

I go to college and drink a lot, and do a lot of homework, and stay up all night, and have the time of my life.

 

I go to school, study 'hard', end up hating ICT and RE, then come home, and do various stuffs. Like St. John Ambulance and Beavers. On Fridays and Saturdays I work in Tescos on the checkouts. I don't see my friends much out of school, ones a heavily involved christian and the others live a wee bit far away. Can't wait for uni...

 

I pretend to write a PhD thesis and teach English badly at a small new university...

 

I pretend to teach computer science at a university in London, and my students pretend to learn.

 

I am a student
