So a wave of Melancholia 1 has hit me recently; I can't get myself to do anything. Earlier today I stared at my computer screen for over an hour and a half before I fell asleep. This HAL paper is not going to be good. I made it into NHS the other day which I guess is pretty sweet, but when people like Mark and Ben Leung, both far superior

in the grand cosmic scheme of things, none of our lives will amount to anything.

[blizzard2007]

yup, in the past few days I also realized that I'll probably never be 100% happy/satisfied in this life until I die. Not saying I can't be happy, but there will always be something lacking.

I agree. My HAL paper will suck because I can't think how to begin it, end it, or what the point will be. Basically school has pretty much drained me by now and there is nothing left in my brain. But on a brighter note, if you write some emo poetry you should submit it to Scratchpad!

I'm pretty sure Wern was getting at the submitting to ScratchPad thing to spite me and my spamming/soliciting of other peoples' horrible, angsty works.
DAMN YOU LUEI!

In other news, NHS isn't the end-all be-all kids! You can succeed without being a pawn of The Man!
Anyways, even if you can't be great at least be sure to leave an imprint of yourself on future generations. Mentoring little kids is a good start.

I have to say, ScratchPad does have some pretty sweet posters up in the hall.

don't feel down! we should go get tacos! and how do you measure just how much your life amounts to anyway? I definitely don't think its the accomplishments that say how meaningful our lives are- you're a great guy, and i gotta admit, writing emo poetry is pretty sweet.

Also, congrats on NHS!!
- and about the stress- remember last year how you taught me to take it easy and listen to music while napping in parked cars? :)

[blizzard2007]

oh man, I forgot about the relaxing in a parked car chilling ot music, and the chill principle has been escaping me lately, thanks for the reminder.

I'm not sure exactly how I define meaningful. Part of it is the impact you have on other people, and maybe a better way to put it is I don't know if I'll ever be fully satisfied with my life. Not saying I don't love life, but yeah it's just a different kind of facet of life I guess, sorry if I'm not making sense.

1. kuo is far superior to all of us
2. sounds like you need some more fun in your life
3. "Lately I've been getting an overwhelming feeling that my life isn't going to amount to very much."??? c'mon, stop the emoness, you really shouldn't say things like that

[blizzard2007]

1. Agreed
2. Definitely agree.
3. Yeah, that's just how I feel right now though, so, meh.

Good points Rohan

you kinda have to factor in the extra-curriculur activities for NHS, i think. and i know you're involved with SHEF, but if i'm correct, they are pretty much only academic.

[blizzard2007]

yeah I think that's why I made it. I'm in SHEF, Key Club, and Science Olympiad.
