#screenwriting

Giving time of my life to unworthy individuals. Lessons were learned and all yea. But time remains the only true precious and irreplaceable currency in this world.
I used to be super religious and wanted to wait until I got married to have sex.....Looking back at the few times I could have got laid in High School and college makes me pretty regretful. Especially those few times when I had the chance to score with someone way outta my league. Wasting time. Admittedly I still have a decent amount of time left (turning 20 in May), but way too often I find myself just re-watching the same sitcom or youtube playlist for the 100th time or idly playing phone games when there are so many other things I could be doing. I keep getting myself trapped in loops and then getting depressed when I realise I've wasted an entire day.
Going on vacation and leaving my recently sober twin brother at my house alone. I knew something was wrong when he wouldn't answer the phone. Found him face down in my living room. It's been 9 months and I still can't close my eyes without seeing my best friend alone on the ground. His phone was 2 foot away and he couldn't answer it because he was already gone. In 2014 I decided I was moving from Austin to Los Angeles to try my hand at screenwriting. I gave myself a 3 month window to save up and sell off everything that wouldn't fit in my car and during that 3 months I met a girl. I told her about my decision to move right off the bat but she said she didn't care. We had a great time in that 3 months, probably the best time I'd had with another person, but I stuck to my guns and moved anyways. Chase the dream and all that. It wasn't long after I left that she hooked up with my old manager. Now they're married and have a kid.
I'm 28 now and I've been over this for about 2-3 years. I look back at things I had trouble doing, like talking to people (not just girls, I really realized I had a problem when I found myself having awkward silences with guys I'd known for years), and I can trace it all back to the years I spent not interacting with people in social situations.
I dropped off college, quit a decent job, went into a high key depression for years after we broke up, sacrificed my time and effort to take care of her kids and what did that leave me with? Depression, social awkwardness, stuck in a position where I cant study anymore and I cant get a "good" job because I need a college degree for that. Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong after that. On the other hand I couldn't have met my current girlfriend if it wasnt for all the bad things that happened so in hindsight maybe things are not so bad I guess.
I regret breaking the relationship I had with my best friend. I was stupid and for the attention of the “popular guys” I lost the amazing friendship I had with my best friend. Don’t do that guys, and if you do, apologize as fast as you can.

Eine "beliebige" Person meint eine bestimmte Person meiner Wahl, nehme ich an? Das wäre dann die Frage, die ich mir schon im letzten Sommer zurechtgelegt und nie gestellt habe:
"Howdy! Deinen Retweets nach zu urteilen, bist Du ziemlich deep in dem US-Politics shit! Diesen Sommer habe ich die ganze Nacht lang Talkradios gehört und, my goodness, was würde ich es lieben, mit jemandem über den ganzen Kram reden zu können. Außerdem las ich, dass Du Dich fürs Screenwriting interessiert? Well, ich habe darin ein, zwei Onlinekurse an der UCLA belegen dürfen (Schwerpunkt One Hour Drama) und würde es lieben, mich auch darüber mit jemanden austauschen zu können. Du erwähntest mal 'Legacies' und damit haben wir eine gemeinsame Lieblingsserie in dieser Season. Könnten wir vielleicht auf einer anderen Plattform etwas näher darüber schreiben? Das wäre ziemlich cool."
Well - das ist so ungefähr die Nachricht, die ich in zig Variationen formuliert habe. Aber ich schicke sie nicht ab, weil das für mich immer alles creepy wirkt. Das also ist der Grund, weshalb ich nie, niemals, eine Person direkt angesprochen habe. Ich wundere mich, dass ich irgendwann mal in einer zwischenmenschlichen Beziehung die Initiative ergriffen habe. Heck, ich wundere mich allgemein, dass ich überhaupt Beziehungen hatte xD.

I know of a couple of people who are double majoring and it obviously isn't a complete walk in the park, but it's definitely doable if you already know what you're going for (so you know what you need to take freshman year and can get the requirements knocked out in good time)! I knew a girl who majored in Philosophy and French, and by her second semester senior year she was done with all the requirements and took a bunch of "joke" classes (intro drawing, guitar, dance, etc.) all for pass/no pass. So you can double major and still have fun or get experimental (like you could take a screenwriting class! or try something in personal finance! there are so many options actually).
