I went to community college, real college, and got a job. But enough about me, what about you?

I went to community college, real college, and got a job looking for a job.

I'm spending my free time working out, reading self-help books, tinkering with my resume, volunteering, watching movies, and fooling around on the internet.

You guys don't know me but I'll answer anyway since this forum is not very active

Working in a very stressful workplace called Value Village (I am only there because the people are nice to me), lurking in the internet, reading anime stuff, playing video games, reading informative books

If you're not in debt, enjoy while you can. I wish I can leave this place.



It wasn't always like this.

Did time upstate for statuary rape and armed robbery.

Well I joined in 2008 but in that time, I moved to Australia, got into a university and played too much TF2.

Graduated college and got my masters in Architecture. Worked, married my girlfriend and now soon to be dad. I miss this website during my student days.

04 - 07 got my BA in Psych, 07 decided to go into nursing, 2010 became a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), 2011 Fall started Nursing school to get my RN, am now currently halfway through nursing program to get RN. I work at a nursing home also.

If I remember correctly, your dad is an M.D. and your mom Nurse Practitioner (prescriptions authorized). I say you will make great $$$$ as an RN and I think you could try to get a doctrate in psychology online while you're at and open a modest rent clinic. You could end up writing a best sellers and being a frequent guest on CNN, Dr. Phill, Dr OZ, and The Doctors before it's all said and done.

I've been doing this and that.

My mom is just an RN. Ya lots of money is always good lol. I will probably try to get a Master's or Doctorate but my previous grades and gpa are not great so I have to work on raising those as well.

Graduated from college, studied Chinese, got married, and am currently completing a masters. I have a government job lined up for next year if things go well.


I understand that male nurses do not wear those skimpy nurse outfits. Tell me that's not true Jasel.

Well, I don't wear mine at work

So what do you wear?

I started a course in administration in April and we've been getting coached to find a job in the near future I'm happy about it cause although it's not a super dream job it's always better then working at McDonalds or in the local supermarket (as I used to do b4) lol, also I'm considering moving back to Brussels and next step will be Seoul Korea (yes I'm still thinking of moving there) lol

Working. When you grow up, get a job and a social life, you'll understand.

I've already said too much

smokin' crack

It's interesting to see everyone in this forum become independent adults. I remember when a lot of you were high school students. I guess AF didn't get new members because of the spamming.

I work at a hellish working atmosphere where workers don't trust each other. I witnessed four workers quit and witnessed another get fired. I seriously wanted to leave. So I was taken by surprise when I got promoted and got a raise.
For vacation, I traveled across Eurasia by train. So far, 2012 is the most unusual year for me.

^ Why don't you leave? A $hitty work environment has costs that add up.

I mean, be in the process of job searching.

Yea, I should be job searching like the 4 workers who did it secretly and then quit.

puggles? jasel? omg... i'm mr unknown but i remember seeing your names.
what happened to this site?
where's miss cloudy and starry? =(
If I send them a message, will they get it?

You should. A job is not just a salary. It's 40hrs/week of your LIFE. If you hate it man, you're hating life. Besides, it couldn't hurt to try shoot a few here and there no?




Actually, there is a possibility. Starry came back for a little bit about a year or two ago.

MBA, Finance, Toddler. 150% time on the job.

work for the state, jiujitsu, boxing, grow bud, stopped drinking, lift weights, eat healthy, take supplements, listen to audio books & podcast to absorb information, travel more, vape bud rather than smoke it, have fun enjoy life.

hEY! i remember you! hi!

Finished university, got a job, quit the job, and started doing a post-grad maths teacher training course. I'm now considering whether to continue with that route or start up an IT business.

Still can't believe it's been so long since I've been to AF... glad to see AF has finally cleaned up all the spam that ruined this place.

How's it going?







You'll make more money doing business but you'll have risk. Are you a gamblin' man?

Haven't heard from you in years. How's it going, bro? And when did you get married? Are you gonna be having kids anytime soon too?

And yeah, there's always a risk to business. I've been holding back on the idea for a few years, but now I think I'm ready to take the plunge.

I just nostalged like crazy yesterday and quite coincidentally found this thread as well. umm it's been almost 10 years! jesus I was a baby when I joined this forum... I mean I'm still a kid but I guess since I joined, I finished high school, now I'm on my last semester in uni and have been apprenticing in kitchenwork for the past 5 years... hello to any and all who remember.

At least you know what you're doing right? Talk to a few entrepreneurs and see what you need to do to get a small business running.


I was married January 2011. Rice asked me the same question and I told her not yet. It's still too early. I still feel like a kid which reminds me...




...welcome back Korn. Did you ever get around to punching Hamlet? I always felt bad that he didn't get punched real hard. Something about him made me want to punch him.

fu-k man AF was literally a growing up experience for me, this place actually opened up my mind to the world- to an extent.

anyways i went to uni, graduated, got my heart ripped out of my chest, worked for a bank, hated it when travelling to south east asia, came back to work and still hated it, quit, got a UK visa, went travelling around europe now i'm living in london.

living. da. dream.

edit: oh yeah so at the moment i just scored a job for an online surf store and now i'm trying to find a place to live in london. i couldn't be any more happier with my life

^ What if you were also licked by puppies?

I still find it hard to imagine you as a married man... I don't think I'd be ready for such a commitment any time soon.


That's odd. I always hear migrants complaining about London being a big disappointment and not living up to their expectations. And yet you find it to be "dream" like?

Hmm dropped out of college in 07 then picked up MMA. Did alright, but didn't feel the thrill. Had a hobby in hunting and gun collection, then later somebody saw that I had skills, so I became an underground hitman. Pays good money.

who said i was a migrant lol, i'm australian born and raised. got a 2 year visa and decided to travel around europe and using england as my base to see the wonders of euro there would be moments where i walk to work and think 'fu-k me, i'm in fu-king london!' mind you this is coming from a person who lived on an island you call australia

i knew what to expect of london, i never intended to live the high life. its quite hipster of me living the frugal life. i'm happy to do my groceries in iceland, buy little pieces from poundland and shop at primark (english jokes) but to experience living in a new country without the major culture shock of say.. living in vietnam. like for me i living across the continent! plus I've met some awesome people along my travels and done some pretty awesome things that when i look back on my life i can share my stories to my children. but yeah so far i've knocked off greece, italy, france, switzerland, and netherlands off my european travels. loved every minute of it. then i plan to visit france again (i have family there, spend christmas there), see scotland, ireland (st paddys day), wales, germany (berlin for easter long weekend, i won't be sleeping), then a big european trip in the summer of spain(running of the bulls, IBIZA!!), portugal, austria, hungary, poland serbia and finish it off with sail croatia. damn i totally forget about belguim, i really wanna go to tomorrowland but i shall see where my budget fits..

after that i may be satisfied with my european experience, contemplating going back to australia next year november. though when i do go home, i will do a mandatory stop over in bangkok, and spend my last month in cambodia and island hopping in thailand.


that is sir, living the dream.

hows brussels? i would love to go there for tomorrowland, providing i have a place i can stay..

cool stuff going to live in seoul, what do u plan on doing there? i've met a few people who taught english in schools there, pays pretty well.



leave man, lifes too short wasting on a job that drains the life out of you. i understand everybodys gotta eat, but at least do something u enjoy!

how was the eurasia travel? where did u go??



cats, definitely.

Let's see, finished HS, joined navy, got out, went to school for 3 years then got kicked out, and now looking for a job atm.
In what time I don't spend filling out apps and checking out job fairs I still read, play video games, listen to music and bike for fitness (I would swim, except it's too damn cold now (T~T)).

Seeing a couple names from when I actually spent time here, glad to see everyone's got somethin goin on.

Graduated 2 year, put bachelors on hold to run business, bought some houses, going back to school.......It's been so long...Oh, met up with Ben in Chinatown Manhattan last Summer as well. He's keeping busy.....Sad to see AF so dead now.

Been a while

Graduated college back in 2008, joined the military, now applying to dental school.

Oh man, it's been awhile. Graduated from undergraduate 3 years ago and now I'm in the process of getting my MA in about a month. Time sure flies haha.

Wow it's been ages...

I remember I just started university when I was last active on this site. Think that was 2007-2008.

Finished my degree, fell in love, went to work and live in Beijing for a year (so freaking awesome!), fell out of love, did more travelling, came back home and got a job, applied for Masters, and now I'm just working and waiting to get my application approved soon!

I guess we're all getting masters eh?

Yeah.

Thinking about moving to the US for a few years after obtaining my MA.

Ever since the spam, there is no one here anymore. It's sad.

I finished college. Now doing a PhD in CS, while doing software jobs on the side. Have been getting into the startup scene, but haven't managed to achieve anything significant.

I wonder what happened to the domain owner, Ben was it?

Nice. Start-ups is where it's at. Please come up with something awesome.

I ended up working a few years in the banking industry. I made a big change into the social work field...
So yeh. I dunno if any of yall remembered... But I was pretty militant and vocal about the rights of majorities (aka minorities) and also race/ethnic studies. This is how I'm fulfilling that side of my life.

So yep. Thats what the Urbanpoet is doing.

Damn. This place is so dead. Seems like it died out YEARS ago...

Couldn't find a job with my college degree, and I got medically disqualified for military service last November so I enrolled in an EMT program (community college) last January. About to finish that in a week so hopefully I'll be riding in the back of ambulances pretty soon.

This place is definitely dead, but it seems there's some active postings on certain parts of the forum (mostly serious nationalistic military discussion though). Oh well, I spend most of my time on Url Ban (s o o m p i) anyways, which is unfortunately slow/dying as well.

I've been thinking about graduate school too, but don't know how to pay the tuition and a master's seems like the new bachelor's these days. Also, I'm tired of academics and just wanna work and make money.

We should all just get awarded honorary doctorates
