Man I really think you’re overthinking this stuff and everyone and their mother’s opinion is not helping.
You are miles ahead of where I was at your age. You’re going to do fine. My advice is don’t overanalyze everything to the point of decision paralysis. Going forwards is better than standing still. Fuck, fail forward if you have to.
Trust your gut. Don’t let your parents push you into something that doesn’t feel right. Wealthy parents sometimes use the money to wield the power (ask me how I know). What you’ll find out in life is that they respect you a lot more if you say “fuck that. I don’t need the handout. I’m doing my own thing” whether that means making your own decisions, using your own money, making connections and finding jobs on your own, etc.
I’ll always be grateful for the advantages I have had in life, but often listening to my parents (instead of my gut instincts) led me down the wrong path.
Trust yourself and realize that it’s okay to make mistakes.
WoFlowzthis made me laugh so hard lolll. My parents went to liberal arts schools for undergrad then Large schools for JD’s and or MBAs and a PHD. I shoulda been more clear it’s 35k all in to go to Hobart and row D1.
I feel like the education is almost worth it. The fellowship program is very appealing, in addition to the connections, internship subsidies and the access to professors. I actually wanted to learn more about the econ program. Specifically the lack of required Math courses and had a hour long in person meeting with the chair of the department who wasn’t even working over the summer. He came in just to speak which reflected very well upon the school. I’d also be hyped to have to minor in Data Analytics because i lowk love it. Ik people on the Crew team and in business programs but it is insanely tiny and 35k is a lot of money even if it’s just 150ishk sitting in a 529 and S&P 500 funds. But I also don’t wanna go to UB because the programs are fuckin huge like 300 plus kid lectures, not to mention for the size of the school the econ program is pretty sub par, and no rowing.
y'all accepted death yet? i aint suicidal or nun but like if i got murked by an 18 wheeler i'd be pretty stoked. heaven probably doesn't have the ikon pass

I don't really feel like there is any accepting to be done. It happens when it happens and you shouldn't worry about it
Would probably prefer to ski for few decades. I don't exactly wan't to die, but the concept of death is very fascinating, mostly what happens after. It's just so abstract and unknown. It's impossible for a human mind to picture nothing, which is probably why religions usually have something made up to fill the void, like they have done with lot of things before better knowledge. Who knows, maybe there actually is something after death, hopefully not another life on the same planet or in the same reality.
Right now I think I would prefer to die somewhere around 70s. Life when you are 80-90 sounds miserable, just slowly getting worse day by day for decades waiting for the reaper to come and collect your soul.

We are in a simulation, so I don't worry about that shit.

i'm no nutrition doctor guy but i've been dabbling in gym for a couple years because i get no hoes. first off you won't lose weight if you don't incorporate some sort of cardio. it's just how it is. eat something with healthy carbs and a decent amount of calories (pasta, sandwich, whatever the bottom of the dumpster has.) if you don't get enough carbs and cals you'll be tired as soon as you walk in the gym. post, just make a protein shake. go buy some cheap protein powder and find something you like. happy to send my recipe if you feel so inclined

losing weight is quite simply burning more calories than you intake. best thing to do first is increase your water intake and eliminate any sugary/high caloric drinks. for the intermittent, diet sodas and sugar free energy drinks are a good alternative if you drink a lot of those now but best to avoid those all together. chicken broccoli and rice for the win on food. the less seasoning the better.
cardio for days too. i fuckin hate running just to run but grew up riding bmx. its good cause you can get quick spurts in and then rest but the more the better of course. plus you can get around town and build jumps and what not. actually building jumps, making and hitting a back yard setup, etc. will also make you a better rider and good exercise.
the hardest part with starting is starting. maintaining the mindset is hard. one thing i like to do is think about what would the ideal version of me do in this situation? what are the thoughts, feelings, and actions my ideal self would do?? if im not in that state, stop, envision it fully, create a future memory of being in that state, and tap into that familiar preset state when doing something and execute on it.

yes thank you. the good news is that i have started, hopefully i can keep it up, i have several motivations. lowk relapsed last week LOL did you know mixing fruit punch and lemonade is like the most cancerously delicious drink ever?? i've also really improved my eating habits, thankfully most in part to this camp im at.
is there any way to know how much cardio you should be doing? is it just a wait to see the results kind of thing and adjust from there? i typically bike/run on machines after workout until i hit 100 cals burned (just a random number i set for myself).
sometimes when im super fuckin bored like i was today i will go on to shredsauce and gaslight people into thinking someone is talking shit about them to me in a private chat.
so like ill see whos active in there and say something in the group chat like “naw man ive only seen egg a few times but he seems chill to me. wtf did they do to you?? lol” and then say “woops wrong chat” and then never say anything again.

yeah the answer for how much cardio should you do is always more lol. although anything past marathons seems ridiculous to me.

Paying a nurse 100k is like paying a normal person 60k

This will tell you how many calories you're likely to be burning in a day. If you're really serious about this, you should be logging everything you eat in a fitness app so you have a good idea of your calorie deficit.
A pound of fat holds around 3500 calories, so a 500 cal/day deficit will lose you a pound a week. There is always some trial and error though, calculators and exercise machines can't account for everyone. Also, the longer you diet, the harder your body will try to hold onto its remaining fat so you'll have to re-adjust over time.
Lastly, 100 cals from exercise isn't very much. I know I burn around 120 per mile ran (I'm around 180 lbs) so a good cardio session is like 300 cals minimum for me

All depends on your goals.
To lose weight, fasted cardio and light weight high reps is my opinion to get toned.
To lose weight and gain strength - lifting with some light cardio non fasted.
I would guess You probably don't need to fast. I almost always get a better workout with food in my stomach.
I'd say have a light meal before you go, cardio warmup and light - medium weight HIGH REPS. High reps and maximum sets is really where it sets the physically fit dudes from the bodybuilding Meat heads.
Hardest part for most is eating. I think protein intake and diet is the most important part of getting healthy at any age.
I'm 205lbs and i try to get anywhere between 175-225 grams of protein a day (especially after lifting). Be sure you're getting some good chicken & Steak meals in.
Stay away from only plant based protein. It's not the same amino acid chain as meat and doesn't repair the muscles at the same level. It's still a good source of protein but if you're eating plant based protein be sure you get some animal product in you as well. EGGSSSS
Lastly, if you're 150 lbs and want to put on muscle weight I'd recommend at least 120 grams of protein A DAY. It's not easy but if you're eating 2-3 chicken breasts a day thats half of waht you need. Then nuts, yogurt and eggs. ETC.

ngl that’s only not a lot of money if you make poor spending choices, or have a fuck ton of student loans/car payment and high rent. We did a budgeting activity in my finance class, my median entry level salary in my state for Wealth Management/Consulting was 163k and i legit struggled to spend more than 3500$ a month living pretty nicely. All though I should note buffalos cost of living is relatively low. My teacher actually said she’d fail me if I didn’t find a way to spend more of the 8,000 monthly income. Despite the fact I was living quite nicely in the project and within my means.
