    • You are doing so well by keeping going despite the unexpected problem, stay strong I believe in you!
    • Days 5 and 6 - Day 5 was alright, I tried to spend as much time as possible doing my uni work, I was in uni from 10-3 and then when I was home I was just trying to get stuff done, day 6 I handed in my uni work, I am a bit disappointed because I definitely didn't get round to doing as much as I had hoped, so I know that my marks are not going to be what I really thought they maybe should be, I really feel like I am a year and a half into my degree without enough knowledge and feel like I have not put anywhere near enough work in which I really said I would before I started, I have 2 weeks for another deadline so I really need to get my head into this and try as hard as I can to get something sorted.  On the upside I was distracted enough to not really think too much about video games, and I managed to write a cover letter to apply for a placement year job for my course so hopefully they get back to me about my application, would really like to work for a year and spend that time trying to learn a bit more as well but I do think it will be hard to secure a job as my skills are not what they should be. 
    • Hey yeah I did post on there, I have a different reddit account which is working okay but I kind of forgot I didn't actually log into it on my phone yet, so I will try that and see if that helps, it probably should do! I have my e reader and I should carry it around more, the problem I seem to have with that is I always feel I can't stop unless I am at the end of a chapter which can often take a fair bit of time for me
    • I feel there's a problem with how you use "Lucky". I never played the lottery in my adult life because even if I managed to win and get "lucky" this wouldn't be my achievement, and is very unlikely to happen in the first place, not to mention repeat itself. I'd rather focus all my time and effort on developing the necessary skills to acquire money, then I may write it for myself as an achievement and also be at a position to hold this money. I've also heard often that the majority of lottery winners lose their money very quickly, and it makes a lot of sense to me. Since, they didn't earn it they don't have the skills to produce that kind of wealth or keep it. Here's are 23 of those cases, then there is this article says 70% of lottery winners lose all that money in 5 years or less, it doesn't link to a study though, but again if you'd like I'll dig deeper into it. It is also a bit like being happy because you were born tall, good looking etc. While these things, along as having two hands legs and eyes etc. Are things to be grateful for, they're not things to be proud of. Since you didn't do anything to earn them. I'd like to use my existing time on earth to do what I believe I've been put here for, which is what will make me proud and the closest I know to being "happy". Hoping for a lottery win does not fit into that category. Our predisposition to gaming might also be something we inherited, and that is not unlucky as i see it. It just is. Aswell as our parents and other things we got for good or for worse. Now it is about how we are going to use those predispositions. And that is the only thing that is "lucky" here, the fact that you know the difference between what depends upon you and what doesn't and focus all your efforts on the things that do, and do not consider it lucky when anything that doesn't contributes to your progress or not, because today it may contribute and tomorrow it can set you back. That shouldn't matter. All that matters is how you did the things that depended on you. Again, all this is just my opinion and I join you on your request to feel free to argue any of that 🙂
