IIL enjoy video essays (long videos on sociology in particular), breakdowns of economics/war, and math and hard sciences. Recommend me some new channels?

I have found I like girly videos about things such as Coppola films, black swan, or retrospectives about teen Tumblr/ I also enjoy some gamified stuff (been out of this a long time though I loved Outlast playthroughs back in the day), and tier zoo. I love animated anything. I love silly shorter humorous videos, breakdowns of science and math. I'm just out of content lately and my algortihim is pigeonholed towards Tyra Banks drama and Michelle Mcdaniel's.

What kind of jobs are available as entry-level if I want out of physical labor?

Hey guys. I've got a bit of a mixed bag. I have substantial experience as a maid and before that I have a few years under my belt as a low voltage technician. At this point I'm trying to make it through college and find the physical nature of my job (I clean industrial buildings top to bottom) is impeding on my ability to do my studies and maintain my other responsibilities. I do have experience in training, and in managing documentation of daily reports and the like, and very extensive time dealing with customers one-on-one. Hell, in low volt I had to explain and sell upgrades to people's internet systems.

Is there anything I could angle towards, given my previous history? I am willing to work towards the summer on upskilling what I can. I do have my own computer. I'm thinking of trying to get in on help desk at my college, though I know it will likely be quite low paid (I expect 10-12 an hour with the college jobs), and they usually only provide a very small amount of hours. I think I could manage more hours in a week, if they weren't all so physically laborius

I'm craving something cheap and greasy help a girl pick

How can I come to enjoy my own company again?

I feel like a good saying this but after many years of being single without wanting to be I have found life has lost its luster. I don't enjoy things anymore. Going to the library or a bookstore for a new thing to read, going to see a movie, going out to eat a nice meal all feel boring and irritating after having done them so many times alone. I'm too slow of a runner to keep up with people so that is a solo hobby for now (though I would like to do it publicly in the future). I enjoyed art as a kid but no longer derive any pleasure from creating it myself. I find that unfortunately I was at my happiest and most productive when I felt actively romantically loved, and am trying to change that. I do live in a small town so my ability to explore and try new things is quite limited. I don't enjoy the outdoors stuff available to me. I do like deep woods hiking but will not do it as a solo woman for safety reasons (And I am a terrible navigator who has gotten stranded in the woods before! It is scary)

I am quite a negative person, though I do try to express gratitude. It is as common I wake up and think I do not want to be awake as I wake up and feel grateful to be in bed, have access to a hot shower and clean clothes, and access to education, and food, and a fridge to keep my food safe to eat. Some things like food and air conditioning I do say thanks for daily. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford all my basic needs at this point in life after a long struggle. It is a modest life but I do not starve.

However I do not find this to be enough to keep my mental health good. I know I need to find some joy (others would say I am depressed), but I get by most days telling myself that my happiness does not matter. The reality is that I feel like a romantic relationship would make me feel alive again (I miss sharing experiences and caring for and being cared for) but it is not something I can force or give myself and I want to be able to give myself happiness. How can I better do that?

I'm coming home and want to be a tourist in my hometown. What would that involve?

Hey ya'll! I grew up in Tampa and moved only slightly away as an adult to Clearwater before relocating to GA. I was priced out and want to come back after college. That said, I've been wicked homesick for the past year and am planning to come back home in about 8 weeks. I'm wanting to plan the obnoxious tourist trip haha. Is there a stereotypical things to do in Tampa? If it helps, I don't have a huge budget; around 300$ for a weekend. I'll be staying in Largo. I will have a car.

I used to live near Busch Gardens (6 minutes away) and went there and to the waterpark daily. Loved Frida's bakery, and Mama G's. Spent a ton of time on the causeway as a teenager running up and down. Loved working the beaches, selling frozen dairy desserts, and the smell of the ocean always physically revitalizes me. I always feel at home coming home.

Oh, and I definitely will buy the most touristy shirt I can find.

Does anyone have any shorthand tips for when you are in a lecture?

I'm not sure how common this is. For example, instead of using the word 'with' while writing, I will do a w/ symbol. I also utilize lots of stars, indented bullet points too. However I find myself having difficultly with my hand keeping up with the teachers voice.

Does anyone have an opinion for the best beach in the FL panhandle?

I'm thinking I will go down for a weekend come July to panhandle FL. I was from the city but I find myself needing a bit of a break. I was near Pennsacola a couple years ago, I remember a rocky beach with white sand and greenish water that was beautiful and cannot remember the name for the life of me. I'm gonna go here alone and would love to go somewhere I can chat with other people. Are good beach bars a thing? At the same time I crave the solitude. The duality of woman. Anyways, is there any beach you think is very naturally beautiful in the area? I find myself homesick and the smell of the Gulf of Mexico gets me feeling slightly better every time.

Is there anything I can do with the tight chest feeling?

I know the grounding method (5 things you see, 4 touch, etc), and square or triangle breathing, but I am finding those are not doing the trick. I am finding my anxiety is impeding my ability to succeed in school and I am trying to nip it in the bud before it progresses. It is impacting my ability to have complex thoughts and remember various things. I have tried progressive muscle relaxation as well, but that just makes me sleepy, which isn't much help!

I'm looking at taking intro to accounting over the summer. Can ya'll tell me if this is a total mistake?

I'm actually looking at that plus Eng 2, and I work 3 days a week. I'm mildly concerned I wouldn't keep up with the workload; this spring I have had five classes and feel like a kid falling forward on their rolling skates every day.

I would post on my college's subreddit but it's a tiny school and the forum isn't super active. Advisors are no help on this.

I'm on the pathway to GT, so I gotta keep those grades high. Besides that, this subject IS interesting to me, so I kind of want to learn it properly. My concern is am I basically going to have to master a chapter a day? Will I still be able to skim and review my STEM courses before Fall?
