i’ve been slacking off for almost 5 months now. i want to lose weight, better my hygiene, start new hobbies, and try to solve my mental issues. i have a digital piano and treadmill that i’ve stopped using since the end of june. i also collect vinyls but i’ve only played some of them once, is that normal? i feel like i’ve wasted a bunch of money. my room is messy and full of stuff i dont use, and i need to save $5000 to redecorate. i just dont have any motivation and in my head im using my messy room as an excuse. i also feel like my crush is holding me back. i focus too much on them and i need to start focusing on myself.

What’s up baxate, you’ve helped me a lot in these past few months getting into college and changing my outlook on life after college. I’m a freshman computer engineering student but I’ve been thinking about switching my major to computer science since I want to go into software engineering. Should I ?

Hello Baxate. I am a transfer sophmore studying engineering and I am taking 17 credit hours this semester, and I know you were also an engineering major in a frat so I wanted to ask your opinion on this matter: Is it worth rushing at this point in my college career? My classes are definitely a little more difficult than they were the previous year, and I wonder if the opportunity cost of rushing (building professional resume and joining other organizations) is at all worth it. However, I can definitely see the upside. I would love to hear your opinion and thanks so much!
