Laptop - £300

And im in the process of buying a Canon 400D at £400.

My closest friends and I have all been out of uni for approximately one year now and we all have jobs but recently everyone is depressed and thinks life is pointless. Is this a normal, get out of uni and realise life is a pants stage or are we feeding each others depression?

I got depressed during University but it had nothing to do with actually going to university.

Life isn't pointless.

Your friends have probably realised that life is 40 odd years of hard work and that, unlike University, there are some serious commitments in life.

Enjoy.

Edit: Sorry, you're right. I'm glad you're happy, there's a lot to say for that.

I was only laughing at the hamper thing as didn't the main hamper company go under a few years back? I'm just surprised anyone does it these days.

Wow, you're so amazing. I wish I could be like you, er, hang on I am except I have the above (in spades) and I have my own place too!

£300 for a laptop? That's got to be some Acer rubbish or something! I win here too as my laptop is far more cooler than yours.

In case you missed it the point here is it is not money or things that make your life worthwhile - it's what you do for others. As long as you're happy though... :p
 
I might change careers again for a laugh, but whatever i do, i'm always on a PC, everyday, when i get home too. How am i not blind?

I'll give it til summer then demand an obscene pay rise, then go from there.

Theres a lot of viable companies out there that still provide hampers. I cant actually decide weather your been sarcastic or not. But i am happy, ive had quite a bit go wrong for me and since i moved to bradford my lifes been perfect. Ive got wquite a bit to show for my money and i go where i want when i want aslong as i can afford it, i went to Benidorm last year aswell..

Some of these things might not look much but when your paying and your there it means a lot.

People could laugh at where i go or what i own, but to be honest, its what i want so.. Im a lot better off than a lot of people.

Kinda, out 5 times a week, didn't really go lectures missed perhaps about 50% of them. Loads of time off, didn't really do a lot tbh

I turned up to like 10% (for tests), then just did each assignment in 5 minutes.

Then again i did do I.T. haha, that's like Gordon Ramsey going to food college :D

Although they could laugh at what you have or where you go they would be lesser men if they did.


You (and 99.9% of people) are better off than most people as you have a roof over your head, don't have to worry that the water you drink may kill you or where the next meal is coming from or if the local Militia will rape you.
