Neither am I.
Playing it too much, honestly. Just got back from downtown Grand Rapids where I joined this crowd of people at midnight:
But the server isssues.... I:
I was planning to spend a few days on the countryside this week, but as my gas boiler still hasn't been fixed, I can't. It's leaking. I put a bucket below it, of course, but it only lasts for approximately two days. So that's the longest period of time I can leave the city.
The plumber told me the required replacement part should arrive "in a few days", but that was almost two weeks ago. Fuck this.
Oh, and the assholes from the construction site started to drill at my wall at 7am today.

What, you're going to throw a pokeball at me?

Sounds like the pros outweigh the cons, and I'm happy that it went really well!
Don't despair, in any case! There's plenty of ways to make work fun, right?!

Once the summer is over I'm going to scrap together a resume and start applying for CompSci internships.
If I don't get any I've no idea what I'm going to do with myself.

Idk I feel like I'm setting myself up for a really boring and meaningless life trajectory.
Is it too late to become something like a nurse and provide medical care in remote developing countries? I do have a bio degree but probably missed a few prerequisites for most nursing programs.
Though honestly idk if I really want to do that.

There's an irony in longing for the simplicity of a hunter-gatherer type existence when you know you wouldn't be alive without the social and technological changes brought about by the development agriculture.
Are you having some some sort of breakdown right now

It's definitely not too late. There are post-bac pre-med and nursing programs designed for that, if you decide that's what you want to do.

You're like mid twenties, the only thing it's too late for is pledging to the right fraternity.
Honestly if you're considering something like that then do some volunteer work. For a lot of jobs it can be hard to tell if you're going to like it, but prospective opportunities for something like that are just sitting on the table for anyone to take.
People don't have the vocabulary to express their dissatisfaction with their life now, and idealization of the past in some form is so ubiquitous you could practically consider it a part of human nature. I guess 'progress' is a pretty easy mantra to bandy around (and on the other hand, so is 'simplicity'). I don't so much go for romanticizing the past like that, but for my part I can be kind of ambivalent about the apparent civilizing effect of modern societies. I mean you can read Aristotle or something and get the impression that we're really no smarter now than we were then, more 'sophisticated' maybe, but that sophistication hasn't changed the core of our being in any meaningful way. Granted someone like Aristotle is coming from the agricultural era, but I can sort of understand the sentiment that motivates people to say that we're 'no better off'. What 'the good life' is is a complex and open-ended question, and progress is kind of an ambiguous idea if we're just passively caught in the tide of progress.

I guess I should be happy, but... man, it sounded so goddamn boring. It's an IT company, by the way. They're mainly working on an online tool for insurances. I'd describe it in more detail if I could, but Jesus, when he started talking about it I barely managed to stay awake. Seriously.
Of the five companies I applied at, there is one that is simply amazing. Extremely interesting technologies and challenges, great workplace atmosphere, many cool of perks and so on. In fact, that company won a truckload of prestigious "Best Employer" awards. I want to work there so badly.
However, their recruiter is on holiday right now. She's gonna return next Monday. When she's back, I'm gonna have to take a programming test which will take several hours, and finally there's of course the interview. They're looking for someone really talented, and I don't think I am qualified.
So my problem is: If I take my chances with that company, the whole process will take at least two more weeks. Of course, I'm not the only one who applied at the company I had my interview today, so it's quite possible that job will be gone by then.
In short:
1) Accept the offer for a boring, possibly mind-numbing job at a cool company
2) Take my (presumably low) chances of getting an amazing job at an incredible company, at the cost of job #1.
Saw your post in the programming thread. Do not be discouraged by your fellow student's skills. You will always meet people way better than you.
It's a bit ironic for me to say this, considering I tend to compare myself with people with superior skills, which can of course be pretty depressing. My very own Github/Bitbucket profiles are pretty empty too, by the way. Just a bunch of uni projects. Nothing of value. And not a single open source contribution. I feel so bad about it.
However, since the past semester I'm working as a tutor again. It's for a programming-heavy course of my Master's Program. I had to grade student assignments. And seriously, it was shocking. As it's a Master's course, I expected a certain minimum level of quality, but a huge bunch of the assignments were complete and utter shit. Barely working, over-engineered crap full of dead code and random indentation and braindead variable names. Nonsensical structures, no understanding of the actual tasks, no fucking version control, and some of them didn't even compile out of the box because of syntax errors. How the fuck do you complete a mid-size project and submit it with fucking syntax errors? Bloody hacks.
So, uh, what I'm trying to say is: Don't assume everyone around you is a genius, because most of them are probably not.

Picture I saw on Facebook of a PS2 inside a store in the Fukushima Exclusion Zone. Cool, and creepy.
Oh man, I was just in Seattle! Nobody mentioned this?
WTF? That's crazy.

I had that happen once. Or rather, I saw them pop up on Tinder and swiped left so fast because I didn't want deal with it.
But I'd also heard some negative things, so I figured it wasn't worth it anyway.
I swiped right because I wanted to see if he swiped right. And he did.I had that happen once. Or rather, I saw them pop up on Tinder and swiped left so fast because I didn't want deal with it.
