    "Aia seems to have several connections here. This station being a last stand, the station that appeared after our retreat was Aia's as well, and now a stranger that is attacking but leaves Aia alone? I'm not so sure it is a coincidence any more. Unfortunately I don't even know enough to say if that is worth pursuing right now, if her role is just favorable rather than critical it could cost us everything to spend much time on that."

    The internet does definitely change things. But I don't think it has really lessened these big movements. Occupy Wall Street, and the revolt in Egypt being the most obvious examples I can think of. In fact the Egypt case is often argued that it wouldn't have been as big as it was without the internet.

    I will agree that these might be hindered by the fact that back then you would bring more of the on the fence people to a physical movement, but people are going to act based off the intensity they feel for the subject. Such as in the above cancer example. I don't care enough about cancer to go into any physical activism about it, but I would still gladly press a like button over it. It might not be much, but it is better than the absolutely nothing I would have given before.

    "Honestly with so many fish to fry, an unknown presence in itself didn't bother me" Mixt said as he got to his feet. "But seeing as the lot of us are the best chance the universe has right now, anyone trying to mess with us must be taken care of. Come on" Mixt opened a portal a little bit ahead of where Nuthura was. Upon passing through he noticed the swords following Nuthura and instinctively used material from the walls to stretch across and make a metal plate to block them. "What is going on down here?"

    There you go messin up the permissions again. Just because stuff works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone.

    [/would likely be just as bad at that]

    I think the permissions for normal members had a hiccup. Fixed now though.

    Mixt found his way to camp and scouted around for something that looked like it linked back to the capital. It did not take long to come across the light barrier Rako had made, with heartless trying to make thier way passed. Bingo. With a wave of his hand the heartless vanished and Unholy Avenger appeared in Mixt's grasp. "Let's see what this baby can do now" Mixt then held it above his head with both hands and swung down, shattering the partially weaken barrier in one shot. "That should do nicely" On the other side was a gate of sorts, Mixt had heard of them but had yet to use one. With a deep breath, Mixt stepped through ready for anything on the other side.

    So I've been struggling with college, a lot. I've brought this up with a few people but I've never really gone full forward with this. Of the 13 courses I've enrolled in, I've passed 5. This has not been about understanding material. Tests in almost any subject net me As and Bs. The problem is the additional work does not get done. While I do have learning disabilities (namely in executive functioning) I don't believe that that is the issue, and even if it is I already get accommodations so the rest is up to me. I've even been going to counseling about this but to no avail. The big theory we are trying for is that I don't normally have the anxiety required to motivate me. We've worked a long time to try to get my anxiety in the ideal place, but it isn't quite enough. I breakdown before the work gets done. I just can't seem to find something to be motivated about. And so many people give me encouragement talking about how smart I am and how I'm going to change the world. While I know that they are just trying to help I feel like I'm letting everyone down.

    I feel so isolated here because everyone I know my age is either going through college smoothly or are in even worse shape. And my instinct is for humility, not just the shy "let's not talk about how awesome I am" humility but the humility of reaching down to help people reach heights they wouldn't otherwise achieve. But I can't bare to be a weight to those above me; and those below me aren't really able to help, plus they make me feel guilty that I can't help them. I know it might be some backwards way of being selfish, but that is the way that I see it.

    On top of that, over the past few weeks I've had a lot of people bring up just not getting a degree and trying to land an entry level positions without one, even a professor that recently failed me. But I'm looking at an engineering professions (most likely electrical), so I'm not sure if I can just steal first base like that. And it has been brought up so much recently and I'm not sure if God is trying to say he has other plans for me or if my own fear is simply justifying the easy way out. But even if I skip college, the lacking self-discipline and motivation will still be an obstacle It isn't something that just can be just swept under the rug.


    So I'm standing at perhaps the greatest crossroads of my life, and I'm feeling really lost. I'm not sure how or if I can move forward in the path I want, but I don't know where else to turn either. I'm just stuck.
