      haha, thanks for that. unfortunately it won me no scholarships but did get me an immediate offer as a paid intern in the PR office writing ads for my school and a spot hosting a show on the radio station, a wait-list offer from emerson college despite my abysmal grades, a face-to-face offer from a bennington college rep to spend a year at state school getting my grades up and an immediate acceptance to sbc with them overlooking my fail in environmental science and the fact that i dropped out of pre-calculus to then fail art history. thank god i have some talent, haha.

    • Close Video Game Addiction

      I have a habit of allowing video games to take precedence over genuinely more important things in life - personal goals, relationships, etc. I've been married over 4 years and now that my wife and I have a house and would like kids, I'm tempted to "put my head in the sand" at every possible moment. As of this writing, I'm going cold turkey and looking for ways to fill that time and press down my withdrawals.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      It has helped in the past. I'm trying again now. I'm now well over 30 days video game sober. There have been plenty of times I've had to resist. The times one is most susceptible to temptation to relapse is when he/she is Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired (HALT).
