Defeater 04.04.11	I'm against censorship 99.9% of the time, but if you post something retarded here it isn't going to last.
ShadowRemains 04.04.11	firefighting perhaps?
Defeater 04.04.11	No government services please.
pizzamachine 04.04.11	hrm
porch 04.04.11	homeless shelter
ButcheredChildren 04.04.11	disposing of shitty music
Crysis 04.04.11	Volunteer for an animal shelter, I've been seriously considering doing so.
ChuckSchuldiner 04.04.11	if butchered was hired for that job he would've been fired a long time ago
SeaAnemone 04.04.11	I know this is really general, but is there any special skills, abilities, knowledge you have that sets you apart? I know this isn't the case everywhere obviously; but in my experience, you can do a loooot more help in a specialized sort of service rather than somewhere serving dinner to the homeless, for instance (certainly a worthy cause, but from what I've seen they have sufficient help because anybody can do it... and I've seen cases where the more people there simply makes it harder on everybody). Just an idea.
ButcheredChildren 04.04.11	"if butchered was hired for that job he would've been fired a long time ago" hardy fucking har
Defeater 04.04.11	"Volunteer for an animal shelter, I've been seriously considering doing so." Eh, I care about animals, but I don't know if this would be for me. I'm dealing with a family pet that I don't really like right now. I was thinking more along the lines of people. And I don't know Sea, I'm a business major with a lot of knowledge of music lol. I can do anything if I'm instructed well enough. I just need to get off my ass, it's a waste.
SHAKEandBAKE 04.04.11	You should join an organization through your school.
alachlahol 04.04.11	finalyl a defeater list that doesnt suck WWOOF: http://www.wwoof.org/ ^ can be done in-country or abroad. you provide volunteer services ranging from working on organic farms to small family businesses like vineyards and fuckin bakeries/cheese makers. in exchange for you working typically 4-6 hours a day you get room and board and food (depending on the arrangements you set). this kind of thing is better for a break between semesters or for after you graduate Americorps: http://www.americorps.gov/for_individuals/why/index.asp ^ various volunteer opportunities available ranging from helping build houses to part time teaching. you provide a years term of service and it looks awesome on resumes especially for grad school since they eat that up abroad opportunities: http://www.transitionsabroad.com/listings/work/volunteer/volunteerwebsites.shtml ^ if you need to get the fuck out and do something check out those sites. some will cover your expenses while others will cost you
