the people who stay in on friday nights...

On the other hand, there are soooo many people I know who would be served better by weed then other stuff like anxiety pills antidepressants, I hate those things and for me those would be so much worse for me then other things.

i disagree only from my own experiences.. If i smoke weed i freak out, EVERY time.. it lasts almost 24 hours and i've hallucinated once or twice.. so i will never touch it again.. i don't even like being in the same car as people smoking, or same room just because i'm so scared of feeling that way again.. It makes my anxiety 32093209 times worse..

on the other hand, taking sedatives like klonopin, etc make me real calm but there is sort of a hangover i experience that is really weird to explain but i hate that also.. So i basically just try to cope with things.. to be honest alcohol calms my anxiety even though it is a depressant.. obviously the next day i'm a bit more depressed than usual but i cope.. I try to stay off any pills, and if anything i'll take some melatonin before i'm ready to go to bed to help me fall asleep.

I'm with you on this one. When it comes to nerves, alcohol works far better than weed, for me anyways. I also have my doubts about pills, only because you can become dependant, also if you go off the pills you can be much worse than you ever were before the pills. Coping is better, if you can. But that's just me. A lot of people swear by their pills. Whatever works for you I guess.

Maybe I was wrong on the weed, I never get nervous when I'm high just occasionally paranoid about getting caught. But seriously some people on pills turn into completely different people it's creepy. I don't have any general anxiety, depression or nervous issues either in fact sometimes I think it's just the opposite. If that's possible.

And please don't say the world is your oyster.

Why not ? I can choose most jobs in the world.

That's a common phrase in the UK "The World is your oyster".

Getting decent grades in your A levels doesnt mean you can choose most jobs in the world. In fact it means you can start low down and try and work your way up somewhere.

I got 2 A's at A level and here I am 10 years later finishing my MA trying to get my perks.

If i can give any advice, at least from an American stand point.. grades don't mean shite.. It's all about experience.. The only things grade matters on are certifications, meaning, you have to score a certain grade to get the certification..

Not to say that it's not a good idea to do well in school, because if you are doing well then you are learning new skills, but i wouldn't consider the fact that i was getting A's being a deciding factor in an employers decision to hire me.. The way i see it, my schooling put me in a position to understand the training i will receive at a job i am hired at, it gave me the basic tools i need to become successful.

Grades dont mean too much. Not at UK A level anyway. It wont give you a career defining job.
