Brumate hopsulator near me

For as long as I can remember, there was something off about me! I make mistakes and lack common sense that no one else seems to make and it’s starting to severely hurt my confidence.
Just a second ago after ordering bubble tea wrapped in a plastic bag in Cambodia, I took off the plastic bag and spilt liquid all over me. I lost 3 hostel keys in Vietnam. I knew I lose things often so I constantly, every couple minutes, check my pockets and surroundings to make sure all my belongings are with me but that doesn’t stop me from losing things.
I constantly trip over myself even when I think I’m being careful. I just did a 2 day trek and fell over at least 10 times. Although, the trek was very wet and slippery, no one fell over nearly as much as me. I bruised my hip in the process.
I try and eat as neatly as possible which is improving but food always falls out when I eat things such as burritos and burgers. People do not want to be seen eating with me because of this
I try to be as normal and organised as possible, this makes me act all OCD about things like constantly checking all of my things are in my bags and pockets but these things keep happening. Is there a disorder which makes people clumsy and uncoordinated?

Yesterday I started anti-anxiety medicine but I don’t think it would’ve taken effect this quickly so it might me placebo or I might just be getting better. This morning my mom woke up really nauseous along with my older sibling. My mom said she thinks they have a stomach bug. Instead of being scared and avoiding them I’ve been talking to them still and being near them. I think I’ll probably wake up feeling bad because of it but I think I’m okay with that. Sure I don’t wanna be sick but I’d feel better in a few days time. Sorry for the bad wording.

I am considering a job that has office in Taloja MIDC. Currently I stay in Bhandup. The commute via public transport would take atleast 1.45 hours door to door due to change of trains and last mile may be auto. If it takes nearly 4 hours to commute to work, I might as well shift to Navi Mumbai.
So which locations in Navi Mumbai are best to shift where commute time is like 30-35 mins... And I would prefer gated community.. so anything around CBD, Seawoods or Nerul would be best I guess..... Max I can spend on rent is 30k and 1 BHK would suffice for me.
I already have a loan running for a home in Mumbai - so really in dilemma whether to take this job or not... Career wise, I think it will help in longer term... But It will be painful in short term..
All suggestions and advice are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

I am at a crossroads and could use advice from oldemore experienced redditors. I(29F) have been with my bf(M33) for 5 years.
My bf wants to propose this year. This is what many of us in this group dream for but, instead of excited, I am panicked. He is a good man and partner. He takes care of me, supports me, and loves me. I know he will be a great father. The problem is, I don't know how much we have in common anymore. He has gotten so serious, and his focus in life is work and saving money for the future. He hardly does anything else. I think these things are important but they have been happening at the expense of our joy in the present lately.
My solution up to this point has been live and let live. I go out with my other friends, giving him the option to join or not. He nearly always declines, and it makes me sad to always explain to them that he decided not to come. I used to travel without him but, now that we're getting more serious about finances and savings, I feel trapped because I know he thinks we can't afford it. We are not paycheck to paycheck by any means, but he is a complete saver and I am more a spender who is ok waiting a few extra months to reach a savings goal if it means having an experience I'll remember for a lifetime.
The finances and social mismatch are the thing giving me the most doubt, but in general I think he is more traditional than I am. His fashion sense and overall lifestyle is more conservative. This wasn't always such a mismatch but I think he has become more reserved, introverted, and set in his ways over the years we've been together. I, on the other hand, am still a social butterfly who loves going out and doing things.
To be clear, I'm not going out clubbing like I'm still 19 or anything like that. My friends are all around 30 as well, and we go to things like trivia nights, dinners in someone's garden with wine, concerts, wine tasting, salsa dance nights, etc. Age-appropriate "going out" activities, in my opinion. Most of my friends are also in committed relationships, too.
I could really use some non-biased advice on if these are things that will matter in a marriage. I know we won't be young forever and when kids are involved life becomes a lot more serious. But I hope that there would still be some room for fun with your partner as you grow old together. Am I a fool to throw away a reliable, consistent man because I'm not excited or stimulated by our relationship anymore? Or are we two different people, and he'd be happier with a wallflower wife and I should go find a more extroverted and spontaneous man? What questions should I be answering to determine if we are right for each other?

Hi all,
To preface, i'm not a DNS expert (as you will clearly see - or networking for that matter). Would greatly appreciate constructive ideas/comments/schema with respect to how I should go about setting up domain resolution. I have looked into each of these area to some depth or another so can probably handle most of the implementation needed. However, the coordination of each of these is confusing me (only more so after a half-dozen YouTube videos).
Goal: use my domain.com dn (registered via DNS @ Cloudflare) to access local resources, using nginx to issue SSL certificates (via Let's Encrypt & Cloudflare API). e.g., nas.domain.com will return locally-resolvable resource. I am not interested in using anything externally with this domain either - not port opening, etc. is needed (using VPN for everything).
Setup:
- Modem/Router PfSense Proxmox hosted VMs (PfSense, Docker, Nginx as docker container)
- PfSense in DNS Resolver mode. Currently using host overrides for internal services, but would like to use my purchased domain for internal resolution.
- Docker VM runs Nginx PM where I have Let'sEncrypt linked with my Cloudflare account to issue SSL for internal-only resources.
---
My source links in Nginx are inoperable and resolve to "server not found" message - which is what sent me on this rabbit hole to try to fix it and realized maybe im not even setting up in a useful manner.
I've seen recently there is some debate whether A Name in Cloudflare (being publicly accessible information) is not secure. Yes it only gives internal IPs which are nearly useless unless on my internal network, but would still prefer they're not out there unless truly need be.
Any suggestions as to how I should go about this would be much appreciated - thanks!

• Might get hate for this. Don’t care. I really liked 7a overall. It is not nearly as boring or monotone or weirdly over optimistic as season 5 was. It is definitely not perfect. Has glaring issues I will mention below. But the positives redeem it for me and make it watchable and entertaining.
  
• Love the atmosphere. The look of the show. But damn if the logistics aren’t confusing as hell and non-consistent.
  
• The stakes are deflated in stupid ways in big scenes, including the release of the warhead chemicals in 7x7, and the sudden appearance and disappearance of Walker threats from shot to shot. Poor camerawork and editing there.
  
• Personal favorites in 7a: Althea, Dwight, Alicia, (kind of) Victor
  
• Alicia’s infection situation and storyline is so unreasonably good. Loving what I see so far.
  
• I don’t care what any of you say. Al’s story was great start to finish—especially if she doesn’t appear in season 8. Was the camera and tape stuff a bit annoying in 4 and some of 5? Absolutely. But the showrunners used that to their storytelling advantage in 6 and 7. Isabelle and the CRM worked wonders on her story. It paid off big time here. I got so giddy seeing episodes concerning her and potentially Isabelle from 5 through 7. It was such a cute and well developed story. 7x6 was a beautiful ending to a queer love story in this universe and a great montage of Al’s story, and it addressed the tape situation pretty adequately. I’m impressed.
  
• Victor is confusing me big time in this season. Decent performances… but firstly, why old Victor now? And second… isn’t Victor gay? Wtf is up with this Alicia love stuff? Victor always compelled me as this cool, mysterious, out for himself wild card who also happened to have once had a sweet, gay love story. But now it’s like his personality is simping for Alicia while trying to be a wild card. If he’s Bi, cool. But this is just confusing and not well set up imo.
  
• Alicia is killing it. LOVED her two ending episodes in 7a. Easily my favorite performance so far. Looking forward to 7b. Also, I really really liked John D Sr’s episode, despite how cheesy and unrealistic parts of it were.
  
• Why can’t Grace just die LMAO. I’m sorry, but she frustrates me in 7. She is so inconsistent, not written well, and her dialogue is atrocious. A far cry from seasons 5 and (kind of) 6. Morgan is a bit frustrating too, because he still can’t seem to decide if he loves her or not. Their relationship just feels completely nonsensical and has no chemistry in 7a. I don’t know what happened. They were a favorite part of my watching of 5b and 6b.
  
• Dwight and Sherry’s story is interesting here lol. Again. Super cheesy and the inconsistent logistics don’t help. But I like the concept, the emotion, their chemistry, performances, and interactions with other characters. Dwight in particular moved me in his episodes. I just wish he and Al got to interact one last time 😭 they were such a wonderful part of season 6 to me.
  

Is it just me or does this read as if multiple separate units could use this ability during your opponent's shooting phase (ie an attack bike and an invader ATV both separately triggering this when a unit near them is targeted).

Outrider Escort: Once per turn, in your opponent’s Shooting phase, when a friendly Adeptus Astartes Mounted unit within 6" of this unit is selected as the target of an attack, this unit can use this ability. If it does, after that enemy unit has finished making its attacks, this unit can shoot as if it were your Shooting phase, but when resolving those attacks it can only target that enemy unit (and only if it is an eligible target).

Look at the Rites of Battle ability for comparison:

Once per battle round, one unit from your army with this ability can be targeted by a Stratagem for 0CP, even if another unit from your army has already been targeted by that Stratagem this phase.

Based on how this is worded could you set up your units in your movement/deployment phase to trigger this ability multiple times if you set everything up properly within the 6inch range?

I have been researching for about a week and when I think I’m getting somewhere, something makes me think otherwise and we are back at base one. I have a 20 gallon tank, and I have a cart of stuff online at petco I want to buy but if anyone can help, can someone write down a very simple list of the most basic stuff I need and I can grow it overtime? If I were to go buy the stuff I needed. What is everything I need for it, if you could send links from petco since that’s the only pet store near me that would be sweet. Thank you for helping a dummy in advanced. ❤️

Mordecai was simply giving into temptation with this second boss. He had wanted to save it for later development, but he also wanted to play with this idea now. And he felt that it would be a nice surprise. So for the first time Mordecai turned his attention towards the technically hostile organisms occupying a part of the dungeon.
“Wait, really? You’re going there? Ewww.” Came Kazue’s mental voice when she realized where his focus was shifting. Mordecai smiled at her response, but kept his attention on his search. He was being picky in a way, but he didn’t want to create something completely mindless. His small constructs might have very simple minds, but they did have minds.
Most of the auras he encountered were far too weak to even consider, despite the size of some of the creatures. There was a certain amount of strength developed from the mind; physical vitality alone could create large amounts of spirit but it took a mind and will to focus it and make it strong.
Of the auras that had a little something more to them, most of them tasted of little other than basic hunger. Those were not what he wanted. No, what he wanted was … there. It wasn’t much, not yet, but there was the slightest hint of curiosity, of hunger turned beyond physical satiation. That would do quite nicely. He could make an offer to a creature like that, a promise to help fulfill this new sensation. He didn’t offer safety or food, he offered stimulation and experience.
There was a sense of confusion at first, and Mordecai couldn’t be happier. If it could be confused, it could learn. The primitive proto-mind briefly stilled, then hesitantly reached back towards the connection to accept. Mordecai’s sense of the creature sharpened and solidified as it became one of his inhabitants, and he mentally grasped it to draw it to the boss room where his avatar awaited, and he opened his eyes to examine what was to become his newest boss.
A gelatinous mass of fluorescent colors shimmered in front of him. If the child-sized ooze didn’t glow slightly, he’d have considered it iridescent instead with the way its colors flowed and shifted. The surface of the creature had a texture that was constantly changing between smooth and crinkled, with occasional bits briefly becoming solid. And floating in the very center was a nearly invisible tiny sphere of crystal. “Oh, you are beautiful.” He murmured to it as he walked around and examined it. “You have the best integration of living crystal and slime I’ve seen yet. I would like to see something.” He stepped up close to it and raised his hand over its surface. “Just a quick poke. Relax and let your reflexes happen, I won’t hurt you and you can’t do any real harm to me.”
Once it acknowledged him, Mordecai used his middle finger to jab at it swiftly. The surface gave slightly before rapidly hardening against the impact and it reflexively built pressure behind that point, then as his finger retreated and the surface tension released the pressure behind that part of the surface automatically flung acid-coated shards of crystal at his hand.
Mordecai spun to the side to avoid most of it, but a few flecks still hit him. They did more damage to his sleeve than to his flesh, but a normal person wouldn’t have taken it quite so well. “Oh, I am going to be happy with you little one. I think we need to start with a name however, and then move on to enhancing you. What do you think of Klastoria?” It pulsed with a pleased-looking flash of color, and Mordecai smiled. “Then it is a pleasure to meet you Klastoria. I am Mordecai.”
“And I’m Kazue!” Announced his wife as she manifested her avatar. “Oh goddess, you are too cute Klastoria!” She practically danced in place as she squeed over the slime. “Mordecai, I want to hug her so badly! How did you find something so cute in that place?”
“Heh, I don’t recommend that just yet love, she needs to learn a bit of restraint first.” Wait a moment. “Um? Her?” He’d initially followed the gender identification before he realized what Kazue had said.
“Yep! Someone this shiny and cute has got to be a girl!” The little kitsune said, and Mordecai couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
“I think Zushi might have something to say about boys not being allowed to be cute.”
“Nah, he’s fluffy-cute, that’s different. Klastoria is shiny-cute and pretty like a girl.”
Mordecai decided to translate that into ‘I want her to be a girl’ more than being any sort of rule Kazue was truly serious about. He’d attribute it to youthful whim if it weren’t for the fact that he was pretty certain that a hundred years from now she’d be inclined to do the same sort of thing. He had met her mother after all. “Not a good idea just yet love. Your avatar isn’t acid resistant, and your clothes certainly aren’t.”
While they’d been talking, the little bits of crystal and acid that had hit the ground had melted together and flowed back to rejoin Klastoria. “And I have a spell that can help with that, but let me finish getting Klastoria ready first, alright?”
“Fine fine, hurry up, I want to hug her!”
It was hard to not laugh at Kazue’s eagerness as he turned his attention back to their newest boss-to-be. “Alright, looks like Kazue has decided you are going to be a girl. If you ever decide that’s not right for you, let us know. Now, we want to make you stronger and smarter, though the smarter might be a little slower to come.” Klastoria wouldn’t be able to fully understand what they were saying yet, but she would be able to remember.
He mentally grasped the available boss node and began feeding it the concept of the crystal core in the center gradually growing in size and its paths becoming smaller and more intricate. “We are going to want you to become much bigger …” he paused as a new idea came to him. “Oh wait, how dense can your crystal get?” He had already noticed that the fluid had been compressed when it turned into crystal. Oh, that should work.
“But you won’t always have to be that big. No, with a little enhancement, we can help you compact yourself into a completely crystal form. Yes, that’s going to be your focus, complete mastery of your form and the transition between fluid and solid states.” He had been thinking of focusing more on the acid attacks of a slime-type monster, enhanced with ranged attacks and crystal shards, along with Klastoria being better armored than a typical ooze-type, but this would be, hmm, not necessarily ‘better’ from an absolute sense, but more custom and unique.
Mordecai connected the boss node to Klastoria as he continued to feed in his concepts and took several steps back, motioning for Kazue to do the same. It took a moment for anything to change as all the mana began funneling in, but then Klastoria began to grow rapidly. In just a couple of minutes she grew into a sphere about 15 feet in diameter, jiggling excitedly at all the changes happening. Knowledge came as well as power and mass, and as soon as the connection was finalized she began experimenting.
The huge blob suddenly shrank, transforming into a hard, sharp-edged cube of crystal only about 5 feet across. Mordecai blinked as he ran the math, then double-checked what was happening. It took only a second to realize she’d evolved the concept into a limited version of Shape Change, allowing her to displace a portion of her mass the way many other shape-changing creatures could. But not all of it, she was still nine times as dense in this form, which was a rather intense compression. It put her somewhere in between iron and lead.
It also seemed uncomfortable based off of the emotions from Klastoria, who then began moving through a rapid series of other form-changing experiments. Most of them were manipulating her ability to shift between fluid and solid phases at will with nearly unlimited amounts of discreteness, but she was also able to shift and recall any amount of mass she needed to within her ranges.
She could form long limbs able to swing as freely as any tentacle, but could instantly harden her surface and/or interior to act like exo- or endo-skeletons, and her limbs could have any sort of surface she desired, creating almost any shape of blade or point. The hydraulic pressure that powered her limbs and gave her the ability to fire projectiles of crystallized acid also combined with her size-changing abilities to allow her to leap, and even spin or slightly course-correct by altering her density in one or more spots mid-air.
Climbing was easy too. Any sort of tree-like structure could just be grabbed and used to haul her body up, but she could also flow up walls and crawl along the ceiling by letting her body flow into the tiniest imperfections and then harden into crystal to obtain a surface-wide grip. Mordecai even created a smooth glass surface for her to try on, and Klastoria was able to figure out how to flatten her body enough that simply air pressure could hold her onto it, though she was a bit slower this way.
She couldn’t go perfectly flat though, that sphere of crystal that was the seat of her very self could not be altered. But the ability to change her form so freely gave her lots of options that she was going to be experimenting with for days. Mordecai did point out one new thing for her to try later: With her abilities, there is no reason she shouldn’t be able to drop from almost any height. In her larger form she could increase her internal pressure to just high enough to create a collapsing cushion, while if she made herself a dense, sharp cone she could fall straight into the ground or another object and force it to take the shock of her impact, the rigidity and hardness of her body keeping her from being damaged.
Kazue slid up beside him and asked in an ever-so-sweet voice. “Are you two done playing yet?”
Mordecai chuckled, then swept her into his arms to give her a lingering kiss. “Alright love, you can go hug the squishy slime. She’s learned great control now and should be able to be just soft and pliable enough.” Which honestly would be another great exercise for Klastoria, but he made sure not to mention that thought out loud.
“Yes!” Kazue flung herself at Klastoria with reckless abandon and was quick to explore other play options as the slime could also be anything from a soft cushion to sink into, to a bouncy spring to jump high in the air. Mordecai amused himself by sending some images of what Kazue was doing to Moriko, and the half-elf’s envy was tangible across their link. He doubted she would be initially quite as carefree as Kazue about it, but he didn’t doubt she would enjoy herself.
While his wife played, Mordecai set about double-checking the level and inhabitants, making sure everything tied together and worked smoothly. It would take a few days to get everyone into their routines and roles, and weeks of practice to become well-trained for this mix of terrain and style, but it would be well worth the effort.
The final step was to sweep through again and set limiters. The creatures could simply feel his intent and hold back where needed, but all the more trap-like organisms needed to have a second layer of mana woven over them to reign them in. Things were less sticky, hit softer, and were easier to break. But in exchange, he was able to apply a soft layer of vitality absorption that would increase the fatigue of dealing with the various dangers, roughly approximating how they might feel after dealing with the trap’s full strength.
It increased his overall costs for growing them by about 50%, and if he’d been trying to make them more deadly the expenditure would have failed.
Mordecai snorted. Intent indeed. He’d not thought to layer things like this, he’d grown up just knowing what his limits were on how strong he could make something based on where in his dungeon it was. He’d never tried making something strong, and then ‘waste’ mana by placing a restriction on it. A restriction he could release as needed, but his sincere intent was to only do so if he felt it was needed.
Well, that would cost them a few days at least until they had enough to push down and start the sixth floor, but that was okay. He wanted to work over some ideas with Kazue first anyway. The organization of the first five floors was fine, but despite the theming, the layout was a touch repetitive, and they were deep enough already to make brute forcing a ‘second’ entrance infeasible for most.

I (m42) thought I had found love after many years of having given up on looking. A former colleague (f35) reached out to me and shared that she had feelings for me on my last day with the company. Our messages got spicy real quick and we met for sexual activities several times. She was the first to say I love you, but I followed up shortly after. I gave her all the attention in the world that a man could give a woman. She commented all the time about how perfect I was and how I made her happy in ways she hadn't had ever in her life. Out of the blue she started ghosting me, ignoring messages and making excuses not to meet. Then she said she needed space and wished me the best.
There is an obvious hole in my heart even though the relationship didn't last that long. I am getting to the point where my hope for a real relationship with the possibility of starting a family is near impossible. How can I deal with the current hole in my heart and the depressing prospect of being unable to find a relationship?

I have a front yard that needs to have weeds pulled, should take an hour or two. I'm north of UA near Mountain and Campbell, and there's a hula hoe on-site. Please send me your best contact info and a reference for work you've done in the past! Much appreciated!

I(16m) have been dating my gf (basically 15f) for nearly 2 months I'm 16 turning 17 in January next year and she is turning 15 next month, I feel like the age difference is weird but I've been reassured by many people that it's fine, me and her have no problem but I'm afraid of being judged or labelled as a weirdo. I wanna know if I should end it or not before I get too invested.

Screenshotting isn’t working on my computer for some reason but I am having the most enjoyable game of my life forming peasant republic germany as dithmarschen, I currently have multiple Spanish and Austro-Hungarian armies adding up to like 150 thousand fleeing off of nearly completed sieges in the lowlands at the sight of my 100 stack of peasants because I judicially saved the missions until now, at which point I have 7.61 morale in 1628, I also took a pretty non standard idea set for me, humanist-diplomatic-defensive, which apparently Protestant defender of the faith dithmarschen with those ideas and an advisor has an improve relations modifier of 191%, my AE ticks down at 6-7 per year and I am estimating myself to form germany in the late 1650’s; this is so much more fun than anything else.

Just curious. I lived in Japan for 3.5 years and worked as an ALT at a public junior high school. Over there you could take the JLPT twice a year, once in the summer and once in the winter at a nearby university. Now, by today's standards, that's not bad. Every six months is an okay way to test one's abilities.
But in the US, not sure about everywhere else but I imagine it's the same, you can only take this exam once a year. On top of that, it's only "cheap" if you live in cities it's being conducted in which are few and far between. Last time I took it, I spent like $400 on the plane ticket and at least $200 for the hotel. Add the $100 test fee and I spent nearly a grand on this fucking test.
That costs more than double what it takes to get certified for CCNA and almost costs as much as it takes to get certified in IT ABOVE that level. It's ridiculous.
Whenever I bring up the fact that this test could easily be done in a testing center people bring up cheating but I'm like okay... what cheating are people going to do that isn't done already? If they cheat on something as little as a JLPT cert how does it help them if they aren't actually that level? You can't cheat your way through a fucking conversation or job interview in Japanese for Christ's sakes.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks how ridiculous it is that the JLPT is conducted in this manner!

I am 27M. I have been addicted to porn for longer than I can remember. Used to, I would be able to stop for weeks or months at a time, before relapsing. I was still struggling, but overcoming. But the past year has been brutal. I haven't gone for more than a week without relapsing. I have plenty of excuses, life has NOT been good to me in the past year. But in the end none of them matter. I still chose to relapse. Last week I took a trip by myself to get out of the house and away from my triggers. It was amazing. I spent almost the entire week outside, reading my Bible and praying. I came back feeling so recharged and refreshed in every possible way. But as soon as I got back home, the temptations started. I did everything I could to fight them. I went for walks. I read. I played a video game. And I prayed, nearly constantly. Anything to get my mind elsewhere. But I eventually fell. And the past 2 days have been the worst I've had in years. All of my studying and praying were for nothing. The "growth" and "progress" I made were a complete illusion. I'm just as weak as ever. I've been praying so hard for forgiveness and strength, but in the back of my mind, that voice is always there saying "after you're done, your phone's in the other room. Go get it." Then you know the rest. I want a real family. A real relationship. I know I shouldn't have one now, this porn addiction has too strong a hold on me. I know that I probably will never been good enough to be married. And that just drives me further into this sin. I don't know what to do.

I am wondering if each “MyEyeDr” office offers the same services? Or do some differ. I have an appointment with one of the three offices near me and I am looking to have the optomap retinal imaging testing done. However, the office I have the MyEyeDr exam with is not listed on the optomap “find a location” website doesn’t list the clinic my appointment is at. I am curious because the MyEyeDr website talks about retinal imaging (without mentioning optomap by name). I am wondering if I should reschedule to a clinic on the optomap map. I need yo have the testing done as part of my exam because I am a diabetic and need the retinal imaging or the dilation and I hate dilation, so retinal imaging is preferred. Thank you!

Flirting with the idea of doing the Sport w/o BSI trim. I figured I could pop some blind spot mirrors on them, and that I’d also have more leverage in negotiating. Where I’m at in SoCal, no markups at the dealers near me. Concerned about residuals tho. What do you think?

Like a lot of others, I am married with kids, and it isn’t quite all hunky-dory… especially the last few months. I work from home (for years, well before the pandemic) and I am not always busy. That leaves a lot of time for me to be stuck in my own head, so I am looking for a friend who can provide a long-term distraction, both during and outside of work hours. I am not really looking to rant. I prefer chatting with someone creative, as maybe that will jumpstart a part of me that I feel I have lost.
About me… I love basketball and have season tickets to the local pro team (even though that causes me loads of heartache). I like exercise, long walks, food, TV, movies, and baseball on a nice day. I am often too sarcastic for my own good.
If you are in a similar situation or possibly share some interests, please feel free to reach out. If you are near Detroit, maybe we can even hang out.

I just finished my first year of college and I've always been an English/Writing focused student. It's just what I love doing and learning about. The only thing is that I'm a first-gen American who goes to a very expensive school. I do get a BUNCH of fin aid, scholarship, and loans, and I've calculated a way for me to pay off all (or the majority) of my loans at the end of each year. For example, I'll likely pay off all my loans for my first year by the end of this August, hopefully. Anyway, this is all to say that I probably won't be in a bunch of debt after my four years. And with the whole, my parents are strict immigrants thing, there's a huge expectation that I must be incredibly successful coming out of school. My mom has also expressed that she wants me to be with or near her in her old age, which is something I actually want to do, so I feel like I should be making good money to support her.
I've been thinking about doing a double major - Computer Science and Creative Writing. I figured I could enter the gaming industry (?) or some other tech industry that values storytelling and just go from there. Is this a good plan, or should I drop CW and just focus on CS? I love math as well, so the problem-solving aspect of CS gives me a bit of joy, just not as much. Is anyone in the gaming or similar tech industries with an English or Creative Writing major that can offer me some insight or advice?
Thanks!
