Title. Just curious since people I’ve talked to irl don’t experience this
I haven’t made a lot of friends in college, but the few I made are either juniors, one has an extra semester, and one dropped out. I have this senior picnic today but I am not close to anyone so I fear I’ll be standing alone. And honestly I feel a bit embarrassed cause my professor who is my PI will be there and her grad student who I work with and I don’t want them to see me there alone. I think maybe I’m overthinking it but I don’t know what to do. It starts right now but it goes on for an hour and a half so I can go late.
Edit: I ended up going! I hung out with a girl I haven’t talked to in about a year and her friend so I had a good time and I’m glad I went :)
Hi! This summer I would like to venture out from the shore and take my dog to some of NJ’s best hiking spots. I really want to go to Mount Tammany, and I would ideally want to do the steeper red dot trail, but I am not sure if my dog would be okay doing that. The most incline he’s done is Hartshorne Woods Park (which he did with ease), but he has also walked rocky terrain in Delaware and was fine although it was flat. He is a 5 year old golden retriever/border collie mix (just guessing, we don’t know for sure since he’s a rescue). Does anyone have any experience hiking with their dogs on Mount Tammany? Should I just stick to the blue trail? Thank you!
Also, if anyone has any hiking spot suggestions, please lmk! I’m willing to travel anywhere in NJ.
I had a rough time for the majority of college, but as my graduation gets closer (less than two weeks from now), the more I’m realizing how I don’t want to leave. I love the independence I have here and although I didn’t make many friends I love the two best friends I have made and it’s gonna be sad living away from them. I’m also gonna miss the nature here, there are so many fun hiking trails. I love how I can bike to pretty much anything I need here. I love where I live in my hometown, but I’m getting really sad to leave here. Anyone else not enjoy college as much as they’d hope but are graduating and now gonna miss it?

I didn’t give up smoking for good, but I made a rule to only smoke with friends and not for personal comfort. But I was feeling really depressed last night being at home and I got a joint. It ended up making me feel anxious cause I had to face my mom. By the time the anxiety wore off I was only slightly high and just super hungry so it wasn’t even a great high, but for some reason all I want to do is smoke right now. All the dispensaries are closed though, so that’s good since I’m only allowing myself to buy pre rolls cause if I get an 1/8 from my plug I’ll smoke it all in a few days and just avoid everything else. So there’s no way for me to smoke right now, but I wish I wasn’t craving it again. I was doing so well. Idk what to do.
It’s so hard knowing that weed would take it all away in this moment. I also know that it wouldn’t actually solve anything, I have to face the issues I avoided the last four years head on. It sucks though.
The first few weeks after I stopped smoking daily were great. I was very happy and active, but I still struggled to do my schoolwork but much less so. This week has sucked though. My highlight was almost getting pickpocketed in Walmart cause it made me laugh after cause the situation was really bizarre and I was on an adrenaline rush. It feels like all the stuff I let go in the past because I was too high to care are coming back. My mom is super controlling and I used to fight with her a lot in high school but now I’m getting very frustrated with her again and she’s mad at me for having an attitude. I just feel like the angry and anxious teenager I was now and I hate it. I wasn’t even feeling strong urges to smoke alone the past few weeks but I’m at home right now (instead of college) and I really wish I had a cart to numb everything out. But I know I must face my issues head on. I miss how I was feeling though. I have depression and was diagnosed in high school but I didn’t really deal with it the last four years cause I was high all the time. But I feel that sense of doom coming back, not nearly as intense as it was in high school, but I miss the stress free life when I was smoking. But I don’t wanna be avoidant anymore and I must get through this.
Edit: I’m graduating soon and I’m scared I’m gonna want to take up smoking daily again to deal with being at home. It’s not even that bad but I am just more comfortable at college living with my friend.
I’m staying with my friend this weekend with my other friend and they’re both huge stoners like I used to be, but a few weeks ago I stopped smoking on my own and I’ve only been smoking socially. Last weekend was my first weekend in a while without weed since I was consistently smoking with friends on weekend nights but I felt fine. This weekend I smoked Friday and Saturday night but my friends also smoked during the day yesterday and today and I was able to just chill outside with them without even craving it. I ended up doing cartwheels in the yard at one point which I haven’t done in a while and it was fun. I just really don’t crave weed like I used to and it feels great. I don’t want to be zoned out during the day, and the high feels so much better in moderation.
I’m graduating soon and therefore moving out so I was planning on giving it to her anyway before then, but she mentioned maybe buying weed (she usually smokes carts) so I gave it to her today. I know it’s still in my vicinity but this feels like an accomplishment for me so I’m happy.
But my friend didn’t end up bringing a joint. She had a cart though but I honestly don’t even enjoy those anymore so I passed on it. In the past I would’ve definitely hit up my plug, but instead I had a good time sober watching a movie together :)
