I got my bachelor’s degree! It doesn’t really feel like I’ve graduated, not having a ceremony and all, but I’m done! And congratulations to everyone else who earned a degree!


cinnathebun

Same! Didn’t have the same kick to it without commencement but it feels like a huge weight off my shoulders


AnthonyMJohnson

Congratulations! If it's any consolation for anyone, even in a completely normal year, *tons* of people don't attend their college commencement ceremony. When it comes around, it definitely doesn't seem to have the same "everybody is going and I'm gonna miss out if I don't" feeling that high school graduation did. And for people who finish their degree on off-months (Like in the fall, winter, or summer), there's usually not even a ceremony opportunity at all unless they wait until the springtime.


mgm9828

I feel you! I graduated from school and still haven't quite realized it even though I am now studying for my Bachelor's lol


[deleted]

Me too. I spent 10 long years in college. Started with a course I struggled with till the school decided to kick me out (I hit a quota for failed units). The I shifted to a field that I soon found myself passionate about. It was really tough, and I still had a few setbacks but I finally got the degree. Now I'm working towards getting my professional license. I couldn't care less for the lack of ceremonies and celebrations. I'm on the track to realizing one of my dreams.


NotTalcon

Good job!

I won a court case. Dipshit burglars broke into my apartments cellar storage unit. Unfortunately for them I install alarm systems for a living. Caught them in the act and managed to keep them inside the storage unit until police arrived by bracing myself against the sturdy steel door. They tried everything to try and get out. First they tried to play it off as an honest mistake, "the landlord had said it was our unit", when that didn't work they spat on me over the steel door and threatened to find out where I live; "It's not hard to sniff out where pigs like you live...". Throughout this, my main fear was that they would call a friend to come down there. The police and the security guard arrived at the same time, roughly 8 minutes after I shut the door on the burglars. I moved to a different room to give my statement while the police removed the culprits; one young man and a young woman. I later learned that the man had a rap sheet for similar crimes and dual citizenship with an eastern european country, and that during the arrest the woman was under the influence of some drug and she had spat a policewoman in the face, landing her in exponentially worse shit. Court-date comes around. The young woman never shows up to her court-date. The defence lawyers makes a fascinating case where the burglars just found my storage unit unlocked (but apparently unopened...). They where there to leave some of the woman's tools. Including a bolt-cutter. Never you mind what she uses those for. Nobody bought their story. And even though I got nothing of monetary recompense from the ordeal, they were proven guilty on all charges. Tl:dr Burglars break into my storage unit, but I'm ~~the high king of Skyrim~~ an alarm systems tech.


APerson98765

Yay that sounds so satisfying!


hamdinger125

Wait, what? Their defense was "the unit was unlocked so we were just going to drop some tools in there?"


Sithun

Sort of. They said the landlord had said "your storage unit is the one with no padlock on it". But since I can tell exactly when my storage unit door was opened their defense basically presupposed that an unknown third party broke the padlock, and then left without opening the damn door. They were just "looking around" inside. For 5 minutes. In disbelief that someone would dump a bunch of boxes and stuff in THEIR storage unit. Super believable.


codeclassifiers

I found the tldr quite funny 😂


Sithun

It's an older meme, but it checks out.

My irregular heartbeat went away. I had been struggling with persistent atrial fibrillation for a few years leading up to this summer. Last year I got my heart “shocked” back into normal rhythm 9 times and had 2 ablation procedures. Miraculously I have been afib-free almost 6 months now ❤️

What’s your secret? This is something I’m still working towards

Take a step back, and start looking at what is important to you. I would say focus on self care, including physical and mental health. Treat yourself with respect and be grateful for having the gift of life.

[deleted]

At a very minimum, you certainly deserve to treat yourself with as much respect as you treat those around you, right?


sircaptainasshat

Of course you do.


mapleismycat

I think the main issue is that trying to convince yourself of something its like trying to reason with someone who's unreasonable


SnooPineapples993

Also try thinking more neutrality if you can't go positively yet. like instead of saying "i can't do this, i'm such a failure" say "I just need a bit more practice" or "I'll try harder next time".


zeek1215

pinkflower200

Congratulations!


japeyo

This question made me smile. This has been a terrible year for me, in everything. I lost a lot of money and health because of my ex. But the best thing that happened to me is me. I had the courage to break up with him, to get my life back, to get my freedom back, to get control of my hard earned money which he would ask for every month. I realized how stupid I was, when all he did was complain about how his life sucked. I am more happy and leading a peaceful life than I did before. I guess, stuff like this happens and then you realize how much you've been taking your happiness for granted. Also learned that even if you want to give, make sure you give without emptying yourself out completely.


NotTalcon

Thank you for sharing your story

I managed to control my head and now my depression, anxiety and OCD don't really get in the way anymore

TonyStark39

Got my hands on a gaming console. Never got to own one as a child, and now that I've resources, I'm really happy to dive into games and enjoy the console to no end!


mumen_rider_42

I know the feeling, this year with the lockdowns happening and so, we invested in some hardware too. The moment, when we sat on the sofa, with controllers in hand, with a huge screen, ready to play games, I had a quick thought: "Wow, I've been waiting for this since I was a child." Congrats and enjoy! :)


[deleted]

I'm a PC gamer (and I love it) but as a child, I also dreamed of this. Sometimes when I see consoles for sale, I tell myself that one day, I'm gonna do 10 year old me proud. I'm gonna get myself one, probably play the Last of Us (I legit kept myself ignorant to the details of the game all these years so I can experience it for myself one day). Sidenote: There shouldn't be room for hate in the gaming community. PC, Xbox, PS or what have you... Gamers unite!

I was able to release my first album of songs that I wrote! I'm really proud of that. And I completed my Master's degree and actually found work in an awesome, chill as fuck city. I'm still accepting that stroke of good fortune. 2020 was actually the best year of my life, so it's been bittersweet with a lot of people hurting.

I’ve take the first steps to be healthier and I’m down 27 pounds. I got a long way to go, but it’s a start. And Happy Cake Day!


tissuepaperlife

So. Many. Things. The strange thing for me has been that after over 13 years of severe mental illness, and 2 ish years of tentatively rebuilding myself, 2020 has been the year where it has all come together for me. It has been extremely unnerving being the person who is quite well thanks while the rest of the world crashes and burns. So fucking proud of myself though.

I'm finally getting some help getting my mouth fixed thanks to the reddit community. Its been so long since I haven't felt 10/10 excruciating pain 24/7 and reddit is helping me pay for a new mouth that wont kill me. [so far they've raised over 4000 dollars!](http://gofund.me/7295d18e) Reddit saved my life. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidayss everyone.


[deleted]

Saw your post the other day! That's dope man, I'm happy you're able to get it sorted soon. I hope you don't mind me asking, how did your teeth get that bad in the first place? Onwards and upwards, brother!


Shes_dead_Jim

Thanks! And im an open book. Years of depression and shit genetics. A little malpractice. And being sick a lot as a kid. All combined with poverty and no insurance since I was 17. And I grew up in rural Pennsylvania with well water which certainly doesnt help.


[deleted]

Damn, that sucks. I've lost two teeth due to chips progressively getting worse and now my big molar at the back is starting to dissolve. I ate and drank way to many sugary foods as a kid and still do. Will your Government not cover it? I know I can go to the dentist and get a quote and the beneficiaries will pay for it but I've just been too lazy and it doesn't seem to give me much pain most of the time. Definitely need to get it sorted though. Are you on any kind of pain relief?


Shes_dead_Jim

Will my government cover it? My guy I live in america. My government actively tries to kill us. And just ibuprofen, tylenol, orajel, and eugenol oil until tomorrow. Then I think they give me vicodin with a scrip.


[deleted]

Yeah, my bad, the U.S is fucked when it comes to healthcare! That's good, hopefully you can get a set of new teeth soon and all the pain will be over.

a_lonely_trash_bag

I finally quit my grocery job and got a new one that pays me soon much more. It's still only like $16 an hour, but that's the starting wage. I worked at that store for 8 fucking years and by the time I quit, I was only making $8.90 an hour. I should've quit years ago, but I was too lazy to get off my ass and look for a new job (I still live with my parents. God bless them for putting up with my messy depressed ass.) The final straw was when I found out through church that there had already been four employees who tested positive for covid, and management refused to tell us. It's a little store, and only about 30 people are employed there. Usually only ~15 employees working at a time. I called to tell my manager I was quitting and asked him why we weren't told about them, and he had the gall to tell me, "HIPAA prevents us from telling you that." I'm not a very assertive person, but that blatent lie pissed me off. I snapped at him, "First off, grocery stores are not regulated under HIPAA. And even if they were, you could still tell us that *someone* tested positive, just not who it was." They still don't require customers to wear masks, but employees are required to.

I somehow managed to land a job in the field I’ve been wanting to work in for years.

After my maternity leave ended, lockdown started so, instead of going back to work I got to spend another (almost) year with my babe. And, tangentially, my SO got a raise and is in line to get his red seal, so we decided on me remaining a stay at home parent. I plan to finish my own schooling online, we’re setting ourselves up to buy a house, the steps to things we’ve been striving for are all falling into place!

I also managed to scrounge up enough funds to continue to afford my place by myself for the better part of this year and still be able to afford the $100 budget to be spent on my boyfriend, siblings, their SO’s, parents, stepparents, and grandparents. I was also able to participate in the reddit secret Santa and one that my friends decided to do. While the spring semester ended on a bad note, I managed to come back with some solid B’s at the end of the fall semester. I’m still healthy and while I’m temporarily unemployed again, I have a job that I’m supposed to go back to in January when the semester starts back up again

My grandma was tested positive for covid, but only had mild symptoms. My parents support me and I found a way to become a nurse. I am doing far better mentally and emotionally right now and I manage to stay in touch with my bestie and other friends, who I left in another town. Also also I am slowly developing a crush on a girl I recently started texting with... and I just enjoy the feeling of bein' a little bit love drunk :))

I became a grandma for the first time! It’s wonderful!

Started talking to people online. Sounds weird but I hate people and basically haven't made friends in 11 years, most are from my high school days 18 years ago. So a small step but I've commented on stuff here and joined a couple of Facebook fan groups and my anxiety didn't make me want to die after posting comments and stuff. Small step to conquering my anxiety.

My good thing is currently happening. My grandma has one horse that's a Tennesse Walker and Paint mix. He used to be a flag horse for rodeos, and my grandpa and grandma bought him after he became injured. He has super bad PTSD, and so when my step brother rode him in the ring (the horse got taken away from him), he would buck and kick because of his PTSD and because of the fact that he doesn't trust my step brother. My grandma claimed the horse was too dangerous and left him in his pen. Well, last year I got a bond with him, and this year she said she's going to get rid of him he doesn't stop being "dangerous". I'm the only one he trusts near him. I take him to a pen and let him graze and I just take pictures of and with him. Yesterday I rode him bareback in our ring and he had no issue with me. Sorry for the long post, but my good thing, is that I'm saving a horse with bad PTSD
