June 29, 201610 yr Hmm... thanks for the response! You're right, I am probably worrying too much. I just need more self-confidence. c: It's hard to not worry too much. Particularly in your situation; looking for your first job's got to be about the first big adult thing a lot of people do in their lives. Talk about a giant step out into the unknown! Have you considered doing some volunteering while you're looking for a job? It's fantastic experience on all kinds of levels, and it would absolutely help you gain self-confidence. Particularly in the interview process, because with interviews for volunteers they actively want YOU so there's zero stress involved.

Maybe that would be helpful.
June 29, 201610 yr No, I never really thought about volunteering I guess... Maybe that would be helpful. It's a super good way of trying out a job type with zero commitment, and helps you to meet a bunch of different people. Of course it all depends on what the volunteering opportunities available in your area are, it's definitely worth considering though. :yes:

Hopefully I can find something that isn't very stressful. c:
June 29, 201610 yr Ah well...that's another joy of volunteering, if for ANY reason you don't enjoy it, you just stop doing it :D On the other hand, you could end up trying something and you absolutely love it, and have found a career path that you'd never have got to try, or maybe even thought of, without the volunteer experience. As an aside, my sister volunteers for an animal shelter near where she lives, she spends every Saturday knee-deep in bunnies, lol.
June 30, 201610 yr Well I'm not much of a people person... so maybe something with helping animals would be a good fit for me. I should've started volunteering sooner probably. .-.
June 30, 201610 yr Oh hey now, you'd not thought of it until I suggested it, and clearly no-one else had suggested it before. Don't go looking for reasons to beat yourself up. If you've just finished school I don't suppose you had a whole lot of free time anyway. The thought of fluffy critters is appealing to you, isn't it? :shiftyeyes_anim: Well, let's face it, who wouldn't it appeal to, lol! Though my sister can attest to the fact that the bunnies she looks after produce a whole lot of poop for her to clean up. :laughingsmiley:
June 30, 201610 yr I volunteered for 2.5 years while in high school, with a large variety of animals. I absolutely loved it. Cleaning isn't the most fun thing, and it can get messy, but it's so worth it. It also helped with my communication skills, because the people I worked with were also passionate about animals, and it was fun to answer questions that visitors had. But equally, it was a safe retreat at times where I didn't feel like talking as much. Animals are good listeners.
July 21, 201610 yr Does anyone know of any fun multiplayer steam games? My friend's birthday is coming up and I want to surprise them with a game we can play together. Preferably a game that's not over $20, but it's okay if it is.

Preferably a game that's not over $20, but it's okay if it is. When you say multiplayer do you mean like an MMO or a game where you can sit in the same room and play on the PC? If you mean play in the same room Heroes of Might and Magic V. You'll have to take turns but I grew up playing Heroes of Might and Magic. I could dork out over the Necropolis and Inferno faction right now but I'm too lazy to. :)

Whoa how have you survived until 2016 without a smartphone? :0 That is impressive, I commend you. xD What phone did you get? c:
October 1, 201610 yr This game I bought today said that it's the complete edition but turns out I need a disc to play single player. I'm beyond annoyed.

Lol, I can play games, text, call, and use the internet so it's fine for me.
November 9, 201610 yr Watched the election and had to go to my room. I am beyond disgusted with my country!
January 3, 20179 yr ...hello? what happened to the HOP? :sad02: This is strange... :sad01_anim: I'm guessing everyone got busy, finals, xmas, new year... on my guild we barely saw people during December :/
January 10, 20179 yr Yay for a year long hiatus. Or maybe two years.. I can't even remember when I stopped just hanging out in the forums.. This is what video games really do, kids. They make you forget about your other random things.
January 22, 20179 yr Hey all! Just wanted to say hi as it's been I think about a year since I last checked in. Seems like neopets has stopped lagging for me finally so maybe I'll stick around a while. :)

Seems like neopets has stopped lagging for me finally so maybe I'll stick around a while. :) It's good to see you around here again! I hope you stick around for a while. Neopets has it's moments, but overall the lagging has stopped. If you haven't already done so I'd suggest changing your password. There have been some recent account breaches and such and since you've been inactive for a while it might be a good idea. :)

It definitely does seem better and I missed some of these games so much! So glad they seem to finally be working again for me! Any important things I missed?
January 23, 20179 yr Just the usual Daily Dare, GMC and such. Nothing really too spectacular. There have been a lot of account breaches over the last little while but it seems to have calmed down a bit or I'm out of touch with the goings on. I'm hardly around these days. My 2 year old often takes over my computer to watch her movies or her Sofia the First show. It frees up our TV, but occupies my computer.
