I’ve been almost 2 months completely clean and I have been waking up middle of the night for no reason, I read before bed and wind down at a usual time, I damp my lights coming close to bedtime and have a good nighttime routine, but I’ve continued to wake up consistently. Melatonin hasn’t helped, and I still wake up 1am or 3-4 am, and then am groggy in the morning from the melatonin. I go to bed usually around 9:30-10:30 as I wake up at 6am for classes. My parents have a history of sleep issues but before I was consistently smoking, I never had this issue. I’m wondering if anyone has had the same, and what they may have done to fix it, or if this will eventually go away the longer I am without smoking.

Looking for someone to do homework with at a library or cafe whatever works best, have a hard time staying on task by myself and could use another person doing work to help with that haha
Shoot me a DM if you’re interested!

I recently quit smoking weed after starting at the age of 16 and recently turned 21. I used to be really passionate about art and biking, to a degree but I lost of my friends who did those things as well as the crowd of ppl around them just isn’t always my favorite (in terms of the artists) I do nature photography in my free time now but it also seems hard to find ppl I get along with in these hobbies, I feel stuck with trying to find new friends and new hobbies that attract ppl I enjoy. I’m thinking of getting back into mountain biking it’s just so expensive, I’ve been opting for hiking instead but the crowd can also be hit or miss here in Portland OR. I just don’t know how to drive myself to really seek these things out anymore, doing them by myself isn’t as enjoyable, I try to do them alone and it just makes me want to not do it as often. I like cars but the car crowd can be… yeah… lol, dirt bikes are the same, also don’t have the money for these hobbies. I’ve disciplined myself enough to enjoy walks alone but only because I listen to podcasts, I just don’t know how to get myself to enjoy these things as much as I did as a kid and was perfectly fine doing them alone 🏃‍♂️

Been struggling to get homework done and stay on task alone at the library and coffee shops, looking for someone who would like a partner to do work with. No need for it to be the same subject, just someone else to do work with at the same time haha. Currently in reading 115, plan on taking more gen ed classes this summer and fall. Shoot me a DM if you’re interested 👍

(21M) Been getting harder to do homework alone, none of my friends are in school so I’m not able to ask them to sit in a coffee shop with me for hours 😅 anyone willing to just be on a call and talk occasionally? Currently doing gen ed stuff and it’s been difficult to force myself to do work alone so I’m trying here and seeing if someone else in the same boat might help

Hello! I’m 21M looking for a study buddy, doesn’t really matter the subject, just someone I can go hangout with for a little while we both work and semi keep each other accountable and check in, help with encouragement if needed. Been doing more work by myself and had less time for hanging out with my friends, as they’re all not really in school, so I’ve been semi lonely while doing my work, so I thought this might be a place to start. I’m currently taking a Reading 115 class at PCC, but I plan on taking a WR121 and a low level math class this summer and some other gen ed courses in the fall. I’m pretty mobile, I’m in the Beaverton area but I have a car and use the max pretty often so I can come to you if need be 👍 just looking for a chill person who’s passionate about doing good work, lot of the kids at my college just do what they can to get by and I’m trying to push myself little bit and do the best work I can yk? I’m not a top tier student but I definitely try the best I can! :D

Little bit about me so I’m not a complete stranger lol : I enjoy exploring Oregon in my free time and do photography on the side. I skate a little bit (mostly as a middle school dream of mine haha) I love anything old and vintage, old cars are my absolute favorite and I have an innate love for old glassware. I like to consider myself a I listen to everything kind of guy as I try to branch out my taste, but I mostly listen to old rock and country. I fish occasionally and try and spend as much time in nature as I can, always been my happy place with grandparents living out in the middle of nowhere. I don’t smoke or vape, I occasionally have a drink with friends but that’s about it. Never a solo drinker lol.(Idc if you do any of these things btw) I enjoy biking and hiking, I’ve also recently taken up jogging, I enjoy taking care of my health and eating well. Recent reads have been 1984, and wow what an amazing book! Currently reading Animal Farm and The Trial.

Shoot me a DM if you’re interested at all lol, I don’t mind folks that are older either, I seem to get along with them more haha, have a good rest of your day and thank you for reading!

I have upper abs but I can’t seem to get my lower two to pop 😅 any workouts that others have done to improve that?

My partner of 4 and half years left me two months ago and I have felt incredibly lonely. I’m surrounded by people and friends yet nothing feels entirely fulfilling and I just don’t know why. I feel like I am improving and everyone around me says I am but at the end of the day I feel disconnected from everyone around me and the one person I am connected with lives states away and talking over the phone isn’t the same. They plan on moving here in 4 months but currently it’s been so hard and I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been doing all the regular things like walking more, eating better, going on meditation, reading and staying off social media but it just doesn’t do very much. I’m spending semi less time with friends as I have been focusing on school more but now even when doing school work my past is all I can think about and I just feel so alone and isolated. I’m at a loss of what to do

I have always struggled to memorize languages as I tried in middle school and high school and i severely struggled, but I never got anything put on my IEP for it. I’m currently in CC and I plan on transferring to a 4 year, is there anyway I can add this to my IEP to have this requirement for a 4 year dropped? It’s one of the main things holding me back from going to university as I am fairly proficient in everything else.

I think I know what I want to go to school for but I worry about if it’s actually what I want to do for the rest of my life, everyone seems to have it figured out but I jump around from things that I am interested in and worry about committing to a major and if I do pick one that’s very specific that I will have a much harder time changing it. I have never thought about college before but my body is not made for the trades I am realizing at the end of my current degree, I don’t think I can keep up in the industry physically. I feel as though college is my best option to make good money but I worry about what I want to do if it’s something I will want to do for the rest of my life.

I’m thinking of transferring from Community College to a 4 year and I am worried about being able to make friends and if the thing I want to go to college for is what I truly want to do, especially with the work load. Not to be the guy that mentions he has autism but I’m worried about how to make friends in a new city as well as keeping up in school. Is there any advice or reassurance I could get for others who may have felt the same way? I’m contemplating phycology ,as it’s the only thing I think I am interested in that needs a college degree but I always have want to go to a university in general but I fear the work load and my ability to make friends there. I’ve heard everyone already has their friends and breaking into new groups can be challenging.

I’m thinking of coming to UO for their neuro program and wondering if anyone here has had a good experience, I’d love to talk one on one if you’re willing. I’m finishing up a degree in Autobody at PCC and have come to realize it’s not something I want to persue long term. I have always had an interest in phycology and how the brain works and feel like this might be a better pathway for me but want to talk to someone in the program to see if it’s what I think it is. And if anyone can point me in the direction to talk to someone about that would be amazing
Thank you!

I’m contemplating what I want to go to college for and have always had an interest in brains and why they function the way they do. I love learning but always struggled in school, especially during high school (covid fucked a lot of it up for me mentally) but now that I’m in community college, I’ve been flourishing in my classes and want to pursue a harder education and want to push myself more as I never gave myself the chance to in high school, along with bad mental health + getting little to no help with school from family and pot use as well. I’ve quit and have been on medication and my productivity has skyrocketed and I’ve rediscovered my love for school. I’m in Oregon and I am considering UO as they have a good neuroscience program. I plan on doing as many classes in community to save myself the money before transferring over but reading through the subreddit has made me worried on my possible choice, I excel in writing and reading, math has never been my strong suit but I enjoy physics and science. I would love to get into research and eventually transition to being a professor as I love helping people and teaching others new things. Mental health and nerurodivergency has always interested me as I have struggled with both in my life and want to better understand these things not just for me but for others. I would love to study these things and write about them but everyone here seems to say it is a bad idea, I don’t know what other career I could possibly go towards that involves something I am passionate about and am at a loss currently. I could use some positive possibilities lol, anything helps though
