Stop the world, I want to get off

I finished off my casework for Urban Soc by spending time at a crisis center for women who were victims of domestic abuse, child prostitution, trafficking, the list goes on. In the center, there is a room specifically designated for crying. It is completely unfurnished except for blue matting on the floor, reminiscent of my gymnastics days, but used for those who prefer punching out their frustrations. These women will go in there for as long as they need to and scream, sob, and bang their heads until they've exhausted themselves and feel like they have achieved some sort of release. While I find this rather upsetting to watch (it's not every day that you see a bunch of grown women sobbing like children), it is entirely necessary for their healing process.
Doing casework has really changed my outlook on life. The world is a pretty fucked-up place, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be ready to leave my perfect college bubble of keggers and theme parties in two fucking years.
Obviously I can't just bury my head in the ground and hope my problems go away, but is there a fucking pause button for life? Or at least a crying room for the rest of us?

WHAT...the fuck.
Please tell me I'm not the only one that has to put up with the absolute bullshit that amounts to Blogger's formatting.
I was looking through my "50 things I hate" post and saw that I made a miniscule typo. So I went to edit the post, literally changed two letters in a single word, and published it. Now the entire post is a complete mess, and I honestly don't even know where to begin in fixing it.
The post was laid out and numbered 1-50, but now instead of a long list it's one giant clusterfuck of a paragraph. I went back and pressed enter after numbers 1-50, but when I published, nothing changed.
This is not the first time I've wanted to punch my keyboard because of blogger. The line spacing issues are complete bullshit as well, and if I'm trying to post pictures, I won't be done fucking around with my post for a good hour.
I am seriously becoming miserable because of these formatting issues, and if this keeps happening, I'm so switching to Wordpress.
