Hi Chiwi! **waves**

I'm glad to hear how you are doing. I would be stressed out lifting heavy boxes for hours, 5 days a week, as well. It sounds like you don't have the most fun job but it's better than nothing. I wouldn't worry so much about how long it takes to graduate school; I'm graduating this winter after 5 and a half years, and my husband will finally be graduating after a good 6 and a half years of college! Everyone has their own pace and I don't think 5 years is unusual at all. Focusing on school once fall hits is probably a good idea, considering how project-heavy computer science is.

As far as your confidence in your major, I think it's normal to feel like you can't work it alone. My husband is currently interning as a web developer at Adobe, and even at a large global company the employees look up stuff on Google because they don't know how to do everything. One of the greatest things about computer science is that there are so many free resources online that are easy to understand and tweak to your needs. The fact that you enjoy programming is more important than feeling like you know everything. The most important skill in programming is problem-solving.

If you still aren't done with school in spring 2014, it's not the end of the world. In fact, it's a perfect opportunity for you to look for an internship. Most internships with game companies are really competitive, but learning the skills you need by interning with another software company can open a lot of doors for you at gaming companies. There are a lot of small to medium sized software companies that have really good internship opportunities.

You sound relieved about splitting up with your boyfriend, so....congratulations? c: Definitely sounds like he was selfish and didn't care about your feelings and opinions. You deserve somebody who is willing to do anything to make you happy! I think I remember not liking your boyfriend because of something you said about him a couple years ago. In fact it was probably that thing about his friends. I'm glad you had the guts to break it off and move on.

I don't care if your post is jumbled and confusing! I liked reading it! :3 I followed your train of thought just fine. I don't have Animal Crossing, but if I did I would be your friend!
