To self-study for the FE exam. It’s what freshly-graduated engineering students have to take to officially be “in-training” as an engineer.
Welp, I do not have a bachelors degree in engineering, but I’m coming up on 3 years of working in the field as a designer and next year I can also take the exam. So, I’m going to spend the next year teaching myself everything I’ll need to know.
I need to get out of my depression. I didn’t realize I was depressed until I had a dream, just now, where I ran into an old college classmate. She was telling me how depressed she was and I was just thinking “but your life is like mine”.
I just self-administered the IHQ-9 and it indicates me as having “severe depression”. So I need to get that figured out.
In the past I’ve taken medication for it, but I can’t seem to find any arrangement that allows me to take the medication continually. This really worries me. My life is a total failure including financially.
A family member has been helping me financially but it’s ruining their finances to do so.
probably to do more action, volunteer more(at homeless shelters, tree planting) and go to more protests
More psychedelics
I have a few, but the general theme of 2025 for me is “cultivation.” Ignoring personal life milestones as goals, my biggest areas of work will be to improve my fitness and start a training regimen (I know, typical lol), going vegan once and for all, accelerating my language learning journey, and finishing the 30 or so works left on my “essential Leftist theory” personal reading list I set out for myself, including Capital Volumes 1-3. I want to go into 2026 a more well-rounded individual that is more knowledgeable and broadly skilled.
End the workaholic streak and get back to my hobbies, maybe even make new friends via hobbies
I have three goals:
- Lose weight
- Do at least three game jams
- Stay employed
Stretch goals
- Move into a nice rental house
- Get a new, better paying job
- Get laid
- Ship a game
- Survive the shitstorm that is 2025
This is the first time I’ve ever felt the coming year isn’t going to be great. In fact, I’d rather stay in this one if I could.
Stop using reddit. bunch of nazis.
Just survive, I’m moving late 2026 which will hopefully be a new beginning for me, until then I just gotta not die
Actually starting to learn music production. I’ve had this passion for so long yet laziness has prevented me from developing it.
Less YouTube
Improve on my art and grow more as an artist.
The Odin Project
log off and touch grass challenge (impossible)
For real… I can usually only keep it at a week or two lol
As a visibly trans person: survive, and help as many other people survive as I can.
I’m not sure what you are trying to tell us when you call yourself a visibly trans person. What you are inside your mind is rarely what is visible on the outside.
So, helping trans people, absolutely, but how about you, who is looking out for you?
I am short with a somewhat femme figure, sparse but obvious facial hair, a flat chest, and a voice that sounds somewhere between a very gay man, a 13 year old boy, and an older woman. I am very visibly crossing many lines that people look for when trying to figure out how to address someone. Meaning, in a time when attacks on trans people and our rights are very quickly ramping up, I am in more danger of harassment and assault than I have been in the last few years.
As far as who is looking out for me: I am, that is part of my goal, but I also have a husband and a few friends who I can ask for help. However, I am in a slightly better position in life than most trans people in this country, since I live in a blue state that is (probably) unlikely to strip me of my rights. Hence my focus on helping others. There will probably be a lot of people coming here for medical treatment, and I want to make sure I help in any way I can.
