all /cgl/ers are NEETs with rich parents

I'm a boring High School kid, graduating this year and hoping to major in BioMechanics.

married with a kid. Not working currently but looking for a job.

starving artist living away from home with older sister in an apartment.

key word in this description being starving, but I get by somehow (with a little help from my friends).

I have a full-time, 40-hour-a-well, desk-and-cubicle job. I think this picture sums up my feelings on it pretty well.

>>2285842
*week

Going to college. Getting a BFA with a focus on Storyboarding. Been dating my awesome boyfriend for 2 years now. I have three jobs so I can pay for school. It gets tough sometimes, but I enjoy my life.

Picture because I'm pretty carefree about my life, and since I go to art school and that's chill.

working to save for more skoolin.
pic related, I feel like that guy in the background.

In college, major is journalism. Still living with mommy, because I have about 500 dollars to my name and really shouldn't be cosplaying since I'm so broke.

And I'm in an internet relationship. Lord help me.

>>2285842

Pretty much this.

Live at home with my parents. Pay about 500 a month in rent, and we split the cellphone bill three ways(family plan ftw). It's not so bad. I have as much freedom as I want. Rent covers my utilities. I come home to a home made meal every night. Parents demand very little(just do the dishes, help keep the house tidy, and occasionally go buy a gallon of milk) and the money I give them helps insure they can cover the mortgage.

So, could be better. But it's not terrible.

>>2285872
This is EXACTLY the same set-up I'm in.

Got my degree in Asian Studies two years ago. Happily married, bought a house, work 35 hours a week. Spend my free time sewing and playing with my dog.

Pic related because my husband and I play Monster Hunter together on our days off.

College, English major, basically just dicking around, having fun, looking for a job and doing art commissions on the side for pocket money. Parents are covering tuition and living costs right now, but I'm going to aim for a position at school that'll cover my room and board in the dorms. Will probably do some stuff tutoring English. When I'm old and boring, I'll become a high school English teacher or something.

In my spare time, I drawfag for /co/ and lurk 4chan. I rarely cosplay, though I want to cosplay more in the future.

>>2285920
Well fuck you, I graduated with a BA in that in May and didn't get a job until three weeks ago and I work 30 hours a week in a completely unrelated field! What is your secret?

Aside from that, I am happily taken by a wonderful woman. All I want now is to be able get a full-time job doing something I enjoy, and save up enough that I can buy a house within the next 5 years.

i'm in college, going for a BA in Music :>

Got a really tough composition teacher that assigns lots of things and I'm writing music 24/7 these days...I'm getting a slight break now though.
No time to work on costumes, obviously. Probably won't be cosplaying again until next summer ;-;

>>2285935
Ha! I never said it was working in a field related to my major, I'm a cook!

Also a college student. Workin' on my BFA in Illustration. Despite the fact I usually don't sleep at night, I love art school.

I live in an 300$/month basement apartment, with my fiancé, he's still in school and works part-time as a translator, and I work part-time at a fabric store and home depot. Pretty much the only issue in my life is how expensive school fees are, seriously if he doesn't finish school I will beat his ass, but then again if he eventually does finish he's pretty much garunteed a job. no picture cus I'm on my phone, but I just needed to rant.

I'm in high school with an art major and art internship. I sell commissions/handmades locally for teh moneyz. I'm pretty happy, period.

Currently living on a friends couch, studying Genetics with a focus on forensics at my university.

My cosplay time has certainly been run thin these days.

university, studying medicine. no time for a job, no time for a boyfriend, no time for cosplay. lol.

kinda want to gtfo. pic; girl who just wants a simple life, in way over her head.

>>2286046
>in high school with a major

How?

this is the best nana k. i could find. i feel like i'm in the same place she is during part of the series... i just lost my job, i want to move to the big city very very badly, my best friend, who actually would make a good nana o. cosplayer and i are fighting because she doesn't like my boyfriend, and i know he and i are going to break up as soon as i find work because we're terrible for each other.

okay, so it's not exact. but yeah. yesterday was my 24th birthday. he and i wanted to go to our favorite cheap chinese food restaurant but instead we had a fight and i wound up going shopping.

>>2286183
how do you eat?

University for Zoology, working for kgb but still looking for a job, have a serious boyfriend, no kids. Biggest thing right now is I need a fucking car, and I'd like to move out within a year (I'm 19).

>>2286234
Is the guy more of Takumi, a Shouji, or a Nobu?

>>2286290

kgb? That's kind of awesome.
I was going to text the number the other day... But my friends and I didnt know if the service costs a dollar a question or 25 cents a question.

>>2286290
Forgot my picture. Kind of feel like I don't fit in anywhere right now, but no real desire to. Just pretend to fit in to get by.

College is happening, I'm struggling with sticking to my major (history) even though I've done so for a year now (I want to take on film as a minor but can't afford that many classes). I'm also writing music and poetry again, and with any luck, I'll be doing side projects in voice/stage acting soon as well.

Working on saving up enough money to move out of my current apartment and into a better, cleaner place while I finish college. Current goals include everything previously stated, as well as forming a band and dominating the subway system/music industry/world with my songs.

I'm feelin' pretty shounen anime, but this never really changes.

>>2286295
It's a dollar. You can ask as many questions as you want in one text, though, and it's still just a dollar (we'll answer them all).

>>2286307

We were trying to figure out if that one rumor about the suicide in the Wizard of Oz was true.

That's awesome though. Do you just google up answers or...?

Basement dwelling though I did date my first girlfriend, so as far as I'm concerned I've done something

>>2286318
>Do you just google up answers or...?
Sort of...We have to cite it and prove it's from a reliable source.
But yeah, pretty much we're for people too lazy for Google or without computer access.

College student for Graphic Design. Getting closer and closer to graduating, and then I'll have to be a real adult with a real job. But I'm kind of afraid I won't be able to get a real job once I get out of school. I guess I should worry more when it comes to that, but the thoughts are always there.

Emma chosen for feeling scared in a situation much bigger then herself. My situation doesn't hardly compare. But I certainly feel scared and looking for help.

Im at University for Theatre Arts, I graduate in December, then I'm going to get my certificate in Fashion Design. No boyfriend, no kids, I have too many classes to have a job.
Pic related because I wish I had a white knight to love me like Suzaku loves Euphie.

>>2286293
he's a bit like shoji, but mostly like nobu. i haven't met a takumi yet. T.T

College student double-majoring in Animation and Illustration, word.

I graduated last year as a Chemical Engineer, I have a full time job designing real time simulators for power plants. I have a steady boyfriend who wishes I wouldn't wait till the last minute to do my cosplay...

I'm getting ready to move out of a 1 br apt shithole to a nice 3br town house and this excites me.

Powdered toast man because I hate my job and wish i could be excited to wake up in the morning and go to work instead of living for the weekend.

I have my own business. It is an online mall similar to amazon.com and has everything people use everyday and much more. I see the number 1 health care brand in the entire world and one of the top prestige beauty brands out there! Check me out if you like!

...I will never be as successful in life as you ;_;

>>2286362

= ( i guess the grass is always greener, right?

Senior that will graduate this year with a graphic arts degree from a technical school and go to some art college.

Current feelings about life? Probably this, unsure and scared for the future I guess. That and I love Rika so much, and this cosplay.

Working a full time job on a 2 year contract right now. Saving to go back to college.

My life is pretty mediocre.

I've taken a ton of pictures of books about war at my job, so I figure I'm allowed to say, "I've covered wars you know."

>>2286195
I attend a magnet, technical high school. We get college level majors. :>

Polite sage for a dead board.

Just moved to Arizona from California. Trying to get on my feet all by myself (first time living away from parents). I just quit my job at Ross because they were being assholes who didn't care I had the flu. But I just got hired on full time for a internet business.

>>2286381

I am dead in the middle of getting my graphic design degree. I bullshitted around for a couple of years after hgihschool not knowing what I really wanted to do. I went to school to become an Esthetician, but then realized I wasn't satisfied, so I decided to get my graphic design degree. The school I am at right now requires 2 years for your AA, then you transfer to a larger nearby school for another 2 years for your BA. I am just about done with my first 2 years, then I will more than likely be going to finish my BA.

Picture related because I am a starving art student who dreams on a nightly basis about eating delicious steak.

Going to nightschool, living with parents, jobless as fuck.

Getting a job would help a lot though. Then I can move out and change tons of stuff.

Engaged, no kids. I've completed vocational training and some college. I just quit one really horrible job and I hope to find a new one before the holidays at least.

With Lothos gone, I'm the biggest loser on /cgl/
Live with my adoption guardian who won't help me with anything, been looking for a job for 5 years to no avail, been in school for almost 3 years and I'm still basically a sophomore.
Screw the rules, I have no money

Part time job working at jo-anns, I sit alone in the house(well as alone as one can get with a 4 year old screaming about dora the explorer) sew alot. With the man in GA at boot camp there really is nothing to do.

picture not related, but god damn this kid is cute.

Graduate from college with a Biomedical Engineering degree a few months ago, and following that, got a job with the government and am now working as a Federal Agent.
I've been keeping up with a regular running and weightlifting routine and have felt pretty awesome about the progress I've made since last year. I ran in a 5k recently, in fact and placed 27th out of 176!
That aside, I'm getting married to the love of my life in about a year. Feeling a bit nervous about that, but you know what?

Life's good.

I'm a highschool student located in biologies/medical area.

I do costumes for others and sell random junk to people to get money.

I'm a high school kid going nowhere fast.

>>2286647

I am convinced I will never be successful.

Ever.

>>2286647
Hey fuck you buddy.

>>2285872

Ditto, nix the phonebill part though.

Also going to college and doing fine, this semester though I'm just dicking around instead of actually going to class, but since the administration fucked up I actually have a legitimate excuse for missing 4 weeks.

As of the start of the semester I am jobless but I get by selling shit, odd jobs, relatives funding my school and career related stuff, etc. Various bills and expenses usually leave me with little spending money though.

So in short, not so bad. Could be worst, could be better.

Picture related to how I feel most days of the week.

Senior at art school majoring in game design, massive debt but no time for a job if I want to finish a portfolio that will get me a real job. No time for cosplay either :(

Feeling pretty good right now because after weeks of not sleeping it feels like shit's finally coming together.

Working as a translator. Not the most well-paid job but I've got over 9000 dollars in the bank and only 43 000 dollars left on the mortgage. Mid-thirties. Call me Koiwai-san.

Trying to find a job but no luck yet.

Bank teller who works 50 hour weeks. In my free time I zip around in a car I bought about three weeks ago, planning on doing things to it. Planning on attending a halloween rave in a big city. I have my bills, I practically live alone as I pay rent, phone bill, car insurance, gas, food, few other things.

Debating on picking up an old morning job for the season, I'd be working 65 hour weeks and I'd make enough to make fun times and ends both meet for the next few months, just sludge through the month of december and bust my ass off.

Pic related; I usually spend my time once a day on a mountain pass. Last night I beat a brand new Civic SI in my 1990 rear wheel drive mazda two seater. Aside from driving, hanging out with friends or working, I don't do too much else. I feel happy, despite whatever the occassional drawback I have every now and again.

>>2286851

whoops forgot my pic.

College student, General Studies but looking for a new major. I go to the community college that I live literally two houses from campus so I roll out of bed and walk to class. With that said it only makes sense to live at home with mom and dad, no rent, no gas money, no technical bills, school is paid for due to being mad cheap plus kickback/book money, and I work part-time in a nursing home as a Dietary Aide to accumulate money for moving out and helping financially with certain things like buying an extra ton of coal for the winter.

When I think about it, I have it pretty easy. Growing up I was always told school was my job and I still look at it that way until I really find the career I want. Dog training. Getting a free education in the meantime to have one.

Pic not related to cosplay but relevant I guess. Chip hates his sweater but he did good on our walk today.

I work part-time at a grocery store, already out of school but can't seem to find anything related so I'm just biding my time.

also I'm getting married on the first and ho shit I'm not prepared at all, not having second thoughts or anything, but I have so much shit to do for it...I really shouldn't be on the internet...

picture related, because I feel like I'm in the middle of a procrastinated cosplay.

Currently as Med student in clinical rotation. Already beaten up by the bitchiness of the med's. Been 1,5 years in clinical rotation, leaving only 6 months more to endure all these bullshits.

Do I mention most of the docs that are supposed to guide us are assholes?! As sensitive as girls during their PMS and even moody-er than old women during their post menopausal periods. Bah!

The say they want to train us mentally but really, the question is who is mentally disturbed here?

Cosplay is one of the way to relieve my stress. To hell with their opinions about doctor has to have professional bla bla bla bla!

I'm in my early 20s, putting myself through my BFA waiting tables. I share a cute one-bedroom apartment in a great area downtown with my boyfriend, who's in his second year of law school.

Money can get tight sometimes, but I live comfortably enough to go out to a nice dinner or theater once a week, splurge occasionally on designer clothes or shoes, and go on at least one extravagant vacation every year.

>>2286825
お父さん??

Work at a retail store part-time, looking for a seasonal job in the meantime. Steady boyfriend. Going to college soon, aspiring in biology-medical areas.

20 year old living with parents in a small resort beach town, volunteer fireman, in local technical college as Paramedic major.
Single, have been for a year.
Work part time at a pacsun in a mall.
Have been learning to surf, I guess that could be important, not really though.
Picked up smoking, bad habit kids, don't do it.
Honing my sewing skills, but haven't personally cosplayed for about two years.

Can't find a photo that feels like the mood :(

Ahhhh I literally screamed with delight at the OP pic. Not cool since it's 5am.

I'm 20. I recently moved back in with my mom. I work part time and take classes at community college. Sort of. I really want to go to art school but am too afraid of rejection.

I guess I take a lot of pictures and love cats and robots and have DSL like Mamimi? I feel kind of like a loser who's too afraid to move forward and kind of lost in their own head like Mamimi. Also I think this girl is gorgeous.

>>2286939
fellow cgl medic here. wouldn't mind getting your aim for placement bitching?

No job. No school. Just got over a deep depression. I still have some issues though, mainly, picking fights with people who just annoy the shit out of me right now.
So I still have some things I need to work out before I can go back to being completely normal again.

Gonna start in school again in january, need to save up money so I can move to England, hopefully next august.

Boyfriend? Im working on it, as everyone around me is starting to get convinced that Im a raging closet-lesbian.

<Insert hikikomori cosplay here>

I'm a 20yo college student at UCF, majoring in music education (hope to be a HS chorus teacher someday). School is cheap enough for me to afford it, but I'm getting down on cash, only aboot $2000 left. That's funded by my job at Disney world. I'm only working Saturdays atm, but once Oklahoma! wraps up, I'll probably have more free time, and I'll be working my ass off in december to pay for spring semester.
Life...not so terrible (3
If this thread's still alive when I get home, I'll post a pic

16 year old college student getting a degree in Information Systems (ICT) and going in the business track.

College student majoring in journalism over here. Have been dating another cosplayer for a little over a year - I blame him for getting me into the hobby.

I don't have a job, and my parents are the ones paying my bills because they want me to focus on my schoolwork. I'm well aware that I'm going to be fucked when I'm in the ~real world~, but thanks to my parents and my scholarships, I don't have to worry about student loan debt when I graduate.

I sell shit on eBay so I can pay for cons and for cosplay supplies. :)

Yeah, that's about it.

21, Finishing college as a Music Performance Major. Single, heading to LA next year to try and find work performing and writing music. I play Saxophone so I have done Midvalley many many times, and it pretty well is one of my favs. It's also funny walking around saying "I have the most expensive cosplay here, totalling over $3000."

21 year old college student who was stupid enough to choose Electrical Engineering as a major and do rotc on top of that, which basically means I have absolutely no time for cosplay. Winter break is the only time I have to work on them.

Parents pay for everything, but I'm gonna lessen that eventually. I still got three years to go before I graduate so I'm trying to enjoy the last years of my student life as much as I can.

pic related. Despite the stresses of my major and rotc, I still feel like I'm this guy, studying and pushing through college life with some wacky and eccentric friends. I love it.

Get out.

College graduate, got a bachelors in biology in may, planning to go to grad school next year for a library degree. Currently only working part time and totally poor so I have the time for cosplay but not the funds.

I'm a 21 year old college student, graduating this year, a psych major.

Posting this cosplay since it's forbidden love, durr hurr. I wish our relationship was more in the open, hiding is tiring lol.

20 year old college student. have 4 years left on my bachelors despite having my associates because my associates is all art classes and I've changed my mind to secondary social studies education. this is my first year going to university and I just want to cry I am so overwhelmed.

I'm a 21 year old delayed student. was supposed to graduate last april, but ended up not completing my fucking thesis. got depressed and lost some of my sanity and most of my faith in the human race, but slowly regaining positive outlook in life. I have to graduate this April lest my parents kill me.

I'm a theater arts major over at San Francisco State which has one of the best programs in the nation. However due to my long commute to school (one hour) and my job where I work late nights, it's I have yet performed in an actual show however cause of cosplay and my voice over jobs my acting has stayed very sharp.

Been wanting to be a voice actor since I was 16 but unlike 80% of the people who have the same goal I've taken a proactive stance and been regularly training and seeking work, sadly it's all probono so far mainly consisting of voice flash animations, small radio commercials and narrated a movies. While a majority of my gigs are attached to a fandom, I'm not too keen on putting them on my professional resume but there are a few jobs I'm greatfule to have like being an actor on a really old flash series called XIN which can be found in Newgrounds.

Picture of me being knocked on my ass cause that's how I feel like my life is treating me

27, Majored in Nursing, being a lazy asshole working at the beach instead. I get paid alot to sit and do nothing, pleanty of breaks to work on costumes, and all day to roam the internet on my phone.
Living in a 3 story townhouse with 2 pals. I'll probably quit the beach soon and start nursing so I can buy a house next year.

>>2287460
Why hide?

>>2287285
how is ucf? I want to go there so bad but I hear things like ucf-u cant finish.

>>2287957

I'm not that person, but I also go to UCF.

Its fun. :D

I wanted to get married when I was 18 but my parents, liberalfags that they are, absolutely insisted that I not do so.

So I moved out so that I could at least live with my fiance but unfortunately this meant moving from my lifelong home in California to the Midwest, because fuck the cost of living in California. I ended up dropping out of college to work full time and made good enough money to take up cosplay and fulfill my weeaboo dream of going to Japan.

Seven years later I am happily married (fuck kids) but kicking myself for not having a higher tolerance for my family and not trying for a better education.

Since the economy took a shit and we lost our good jobs, we're now barely making ends meet. Kinda bitter and as previously mentioned, kicking myself.

>>2287957

well, if you decide to be a good student and do your work and get dem grades, you'll be fine. they make you go through a shitton of work because they want the prestige of graduating the best students. you've probably heard that they accept just about anybody...and that's most likely why the phrase "you can't finish" was coined--a TOOOON of the idiots they let in just fuck around and don't give two shits about their education.
also, get your AA first. that way, you'll have all that crap out of the way so you can get going on the stuff you really want to do.

also, here's my picture, so chosen because i miss almost everything that could be of some significance to my life

I'm 21. I used to have a great job that I lost because of lack of transportation. (I don't have a car, even though I can drive, and the buses started running erratically) Now I work a horrible 10cents above minimum wage retail job and barely make enough for rent. I'm on food stamps.

I WAS going to school, but I can't afford it anymore. FAFSA gives me no money because my mom and step dad make "too much" even though it all goes to my step dad's ex-wife for child support that never reaches the kids. The kids are fuck ups who flunk their way through school and are squandering a free college education. My dad has absolutely no legal rights in regards to me, so won't let me use his info on my FAFSA. We're looking into transferring my mom's GI bill left over from when she was in Iraq to me, but I don't know if that will work.

I've been living away from home since I was 18.

I'm in a happy relationship with my boyfriend of 16 months. Other than that I work 32 hours at a Grocery store sub shop, and can't seem to get off my ass to apply to school, did I mention I'm 23.

But still very happy.
Pic related, its how he makes me feel.

>>2288007
thanks! I'm about 70% to an AA. How's the area if you don't mind?

>>2288049

nice! keep that up, i hear it really helps [i didn't get mine, i just jumped straight in]

the area's not too bad. you'll hear stories every now and again about someone running by themselves at night who got attacked, but other than that, it's better than decent. waterford town center is right down the road, easy access to sr-417/sr-408, many, many places to eat and just hang out right around the school.
HOWEVER. stay the hell away from any place with the word "Pegasus" in the name. i personally have not lived there, but all i hear about them is crime, crime, and more crime. i've heard stories of bullets flying through random people's apartments around those spots. but you'll have that near any big school, i'm guess. just make sure to talk to people before you make any big decisions

I'm currently in college taking up Video and Production. I'm almost finished with college. Putting cosplay and conventions on hold until graduation.

I'm single. Looking, but not so actively.

I have no picture to post. (At work...)

I graduated college (BS in Computer Engineering) 2 years ago and I have a steady job somewhat related to my field.

I still live with my mom so that we help each other out. I pay for rent, utilities, cell phone, cable, etc. and she pays me a fixed amount that's about 40% of the costs. But she pays for food and does the laundry/cleaning so I'm not complaining.

Thing is, we rented a place in a great school district (and in a good location so the rent is kinda high) specifically so that my little brother could go to a good school. But he has no interest in studying or making himself better and he's always getting into trouble (suspensions). He already smokes (must have at least 3 "jacks" a day!) and drinks and he's only in 10th grade. :/ He never cleans or does anything to contribute and thinks he's entitled to our money and steals cash from out of mom's purse. He has an attitude and never listens, telling us to fuck off and leave him alone.

Pic related. I wish I was an only child.

Unemployed, but moving in with my bro in 2 weeks time, to a city bound to have more job opportunities than this shitty little village I've lived in for the past year.

Have a wonderful boyfriend of over a year who also lives in that city, will be great to see more of him :D

Went to a great con last weekend and caught up with all my mates, which was awesome - my friends really are the most important thing I have, I'd be lost without such great people in my life.

Not to mention, it's now the BEST time of year, so everything's pretty fucking win.

Pic related, it's me and some of my awesome friends :D

>>2288206
Dumb fuck,call the police on that kid. He CAN go to Juvi you know.

I graduated from college back in may (bs in electrical engineering) and just this past week I finally got a job (took some time off looking for work to study for the EIT/FE exam for engineering certification)

I wish there was a tourettes guy cosplayer, but since I can't find one this picture/quote will do. I always believe people need to calm down more in life, take things easy, and don't get a big dick over stressful things

My life right now?

I'm 16 years old, with the restrictions of a 7 yearold.
I am not allowed to ride my bike to school.
I cannot leave my house after sunset.
I cannot have a job.
I cannot visit male friends.
I cannot leave the house without a supervisor.
If I go to events, I must be home no later than 8 pm.
Appart from that, I live with a verbally and physically abusive mother who has paid 400 dollars to try and prove I'm insane. the results? I'm fine. She's the one that needs help. We recently went to visit family in mexico, and my mother threw away my ticket back to the US. She was planning to have me enrolled in school for about a year, but my biofather and psychiatrist made sure i got home sooner. I was in Mexico for three months, with clothes that i had packed to last me a week.

My mother is having sex with married men, my stepdad lives away from home because he doesnt like this state, and is cheating on my mom too.

I am not allowed to talk to my real father, but I call him every week with a secret phone i have.

I'm crying every single night and I've been on the verge of suicide, but...

I'm in a great relationship that's lasted for almost 2 years.
My friends have all gone out of their way to help me with my family.
My social skills and my school grades have improved lots

And Ive learned to love the little things so damn much.
