hello DAE community,

to introduce myself, i’m 24 and currently in community college, still living at home, and i’m working toward the kind of stability i want for myself. i want to get my bachelor’s, be financially comfortable, and eventually be fully independent with my own place. i know everyone’s timeline is different, but i still have a hard time feeling accomplished enough at this point.

i do have a sex drive and obviously want intimacy, and i’d be open to a relationship. i know i’m attractive and have no problem finding someone who would be interested in me, and i’m not unhappy with my appearance. it’s more that i cringe at the thought of going on a date and having to explain where i’m at right now. i feel like i need to reach certain milestones before i can feel confident enough to put myself out there. at the same time, i’m proud of myself for actively working toward those things. i’ve been back in school, i have a job i really like, and i’m in therapy trying to work through this mindset. i know i’m moving in the right direction, but i still feel embarrassed that i’m not further along.

i know this isn’t a healthy way of thinking, and i’m sure it’ll take time to unlearn, but i’m wondering if anyone else has felt/feel the same way.

I know it’s a long shot, but I figured I’d at least try. Does anyone know where I can find the famous green Mexico soccer jersey anywhere in DFW? Everywhere I’ve checked has been sold out, and I’m trying to get one before Sunday’s game.
:( I should’ve bought one weeks ago

UPDATE: The Adidas store at the Grand Prairie Outlets has a ton of Mexico jerseys and restocks them multiple times a day. I’m not sure how long they’ll stay in stock before selling out, but I was able to snag one in my size.

Hello CM community!

I’m a college student currently stuck between choosing Construction Management or Civil Engineering and could use advice.

For context, My grandfather owns a sheet metal / HVAC business and does very well, and that’s honestly the kind of path I see for myself long-term. I’m interested in eventually working in construction (possibly HVAC) and owning or running a company.

Construction Management seems more directly relevant, but Civil Engineering seems like a stronger, more flexible degree. My concern is that Civil won’t really teach me the business/management side.

I’d really appreciate any advice.
