How To Know You've Reached the F*** It Point

I'm not going to cut corners anymore and say that things are ok. As of right now, everything in my life is the most chaotic it's ever been. College has not been kind to me these past two semesters and I know now that it is truly taking its toll on me.

There are too many things I am doing and too many obligations I have that I can't abide by all of them. To make everyone happy is impossible but what happens when you no longer can make yourself happy?

I believe that everyone reaches this point. When you suddenly realize that half of what your doing in life is not worth the majority of your time; where you are so drained that you no longer can stand the basic routine of your day to day. It's the point that you here about in Internet humor and peers all around. You guessed it: the f*** it point.

It doesn't just happen after one bad day. You can't just reach the f*** it point from getting a bad grade or having some sort of embarrassing moment. That's just simple frustration or anger that things didn't go right. Sure enough you'll bounce back again.

No, the f*** it point is a long and continuous stretch of mental and emotional exhaustion. Sometimes it spans entire weeks or months, where one thing after another hits you like a ton of bricks. You find yourself taking continuous L's and not even being able to enjoy your day.

You begin to feel self pity and wonder if it's just been a bad year or if it borders on serious mental illness. You begin to neglect people you so desperately want to be with because you're too busy with everything else. Class is more difficult than ever to keep up with and every week feels like you're losing more and more control.

When you begin to truly reevaluate things that are supposed to make you happy, reflect on the past few months and what you've had to do, this is when the f*** it point begins to be reached.

College is short. It's the first time where you realize how fast life goes by and how much you don't want to spend most of it being miserable. It's the first time where you realize this is your chance to make it better.

So to anyone who feels this same way, embrace the f*** it point. When you start to live a life that is fulfilling to you, that is when things will turn around.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
