My social anxiety fluctuates. I have a rash that flares up when I'm socially anxious. The weird thing is I didn't notice the rash until after my spikes in social anxiety. I suppose anxiety can manifest itself in all sorts of ways when it comes to the body ( Read more... )

I know how you feel.

A master's in Political Philosophy, maybe? Like Hannah Arendt or John Rawls or Dewey Decimal? (I know his real name is John Dewey, but I already mentioned a John.)

I'm more interested in intel work. I'm thinking of a masters in homeland security, strategic intelligence, or something of the sort. The philosophy bachelor's is just a means to an end. That being said knowing a second language would make me extremely marketable as a job applicant. I'm semi-fluent in spanish and I'm pretty confident I could master it on the side without going to school. However, the hot stuff right now is Middle Eastern and Eastern European languages. You actually get sign up bonuses if you are fluent in those languages. Unfortunately they might be hard to learn and master.

I've got a rash this week too, on my hand. Sometimes I wake up and catch myself scratching my legs in the night. Life is such a hard thing.

Have you tried ointment? It helps with my social anxiety induced rash.

Another philosophy major! I can't seem to get away from them, haha. Awesome that you are getting A's in the subject!! I struggle with it.

Sorry you are not happy. Do you have any plans to look forward to? Thanksgiving? Christmas? End of the semester?

My family doesn't really celebrate Thanksgiving. Also pretty much all our extended family lives ridiculously far away. Lastly I'll be too busy studying for finals during Thanksgiving break. There's nothing to do for Christmas (I'll have time but traveling involves money which I don't have). Truth to be told it would nice to visit my friend Alex who moved away to Utah but again money...Regardless if nothing else I'll be enjoying just having my break from school.

Oh and I did actually finally find out about some things to do just yesterday at school or rather the gym. I didn't find out until now because the gym is sort of its own separate entity and so doesn't list its activities within the school activities handbook so that's something.
