Seagoddess is absolutey right. You've got to be proactive. And you've got to be brave. Take up any invitiation. (OK, not any obviously-if some guy asks you to look at his stereo-say no).
Egads. Insert an 'oy vey'<--- here.
Mindy, this made me roar in laughter. In my day as a 20-something-- the young men would ask me *up* to see their artwork. Response was: "No No", and this was in the middle of the sexual revolution. lol. The hippie days. Egads. Are they now asking to come up to see the stereo? omg. Funny. What men will say to get laid. lol
Ask me how much I'm lovin' being 51. I have more men on me than imagined. ( another thread, surely )
On a more serious note--Honeybee, hold tight. Hold strong. At the end of my 20's--turning 30--I opened my first company. Girl, I figure you will too. You are in a trial by fire. However, if it is so abusive at Uni that you can't handle it? Walk out.
Most successful people walk out of Uni. I was walking out all the time....however, I knew I was an entrepreneur. That I was going to be a business consultant and that I would work in the entertainment and event production industries. That I would work in financing. That I would take what I loved the most and make it a business.
I created my world and work. Create yours, honeybee. What do you love? Where is your passion? Therein is your key to happiness and life. And yes, there may be some pain along the way.
P.S. I walked out of a sociology course at Uni and the prof gave me a B for walking out! Imagine. I got a B for walking out. I told the prof..."I know this already." ;-)
