Goddamn, I wish I didn't get cucked so hard by the college meme. If I could go back in time, I'd tell myself to go to art school. It's not like I'm using my degree now, so I might have a little more fun drawing porn on the internet that way, at least.

Its not too late

Your mother was right.
You were holding them back.

Same. I took an art class recently and after five years of programming/math I have now many regrets in life.

Too much debt to go to art school, but I am teaching myself, so it's not all bad. On the bright side, my current job is 90 percent down time so I have time to learn art and moonrunes. My life could be better, but it could be a whole lot worse too.

>play Europa Universalis IV
>learn that Norway is a beta bitch

I sometimes steal cheesey lines from video games to use on women at the bar and on dates, knowing that they will not recognize it. Has worked a few times.

>Play tons of Dance Dance Revolution at its peak
>Get bored with it and take up real dancing
>Now attend swing dance socials twice a week

I somehow don't feel as bad spending $100/month to go out dancing with people as I do spending that same $100/mo on DDR at the arcade.

Oh yeah, me too OP

Hits to close

>play too much games
>still get straight a's

>play persona
>take friends out more

Not sure if it was the cause but I realised that after playing Persona I became more social and realised how important it was to hang out with people.

rofl. you're a disgusting worthless piece of shit lmao!
