Decided to do a blog post for my 2500th post here. There's technically nothing special about one's 2500th post, but I guess i just like the number 25... It's special to me xD
Anyways, I decided that it'd be suitable for my blog post to give you guys an update on my personal life. For me, this year has been a year of recovery. Last year, I started my 2nd year studying chemical engineering, but I had found out that it really wasn't what I wanted to do. Yes, I do love chemistry, and seeing the chemical reaction in the macroscopic scale, and while chemical engineering covers both of those fields, I felt that nobody really respected the beauty of the actual chemical reaction. This apathy was manifested in the attitudes of all the professors and lab TA's that I had. I started hating my major and wanting nothing to do with it.
In addition to my classes, I was having relationship problems. This girl I was dating told me that she was being unfaithful, and broke things off with me. My confidence was shattered, and I started having really major trust issues. Basically, the only women I would take seriously were my best friend, and my stepmother.
Since then, I have improved myself. I switched colleges to the college of science, and am now studying electrochemistry. My GPA when leaving the college of engineering was a 2.4 - which is actually average for an engineer, but it's pretty bad for a chemistry major. With the semester coming to a close, I'm happy I was able to raise my GPA up to a 2.75. It's still not close to where I want it to be, but i'm happy with the progress that i'm making so far.
I have also improved my relationships with women as well. I started seeing this girl
Janna (LOL JK her name's Jenna) not too long ago, and i'm quite happy - I guess it's a little shocking that the last time I was happy like this was more than a year ago. Anyways, I'm shocked at how much human connection can change someone. Before I met Jenna, I guess I would always distance myself from other girls to numb myself from the pain of my last breakup - I didn't really give women the respect they deserved.
I'm pretty happy with how everything's going so far. Anyways, I guess that's it for now.
Regards,
Michael

I hope she will protect you with her
What's the best GPA to reach? Here in Germany the system is based around having the best grades if your number is nearby 1 in average.
LOL there's gotta be some pun in there...
A good GPA for me to reach is a 3.5, although that'll be quite difficult.
Any GPA over 3 is pretty good at northeastern though. in the US, GPA's are out of 4 (so a 4 is an A, 3 B, 2 C, etc)
Well good for your recovery, do what makes you happy :)))
I hope she will protect you with her
Warning: terrible puns incoming, something something supporting you
