I am a 23 year old girl that has been waiting for the right man before I have sex. I am still waiting but think I may have found a good man. Soon I will be having sex for my first time. I have never had anything in me, no tampon or finger pleasure, only use pads. It is custom in my country to be this way. My only problem is my voice. Men are not attracted to me becuase I have a really deep kinda manly voice. Everyone tells me I look very pretty, small and petite in size and not overweight. I have no adams apple lol and been a girl my entire life. Why does my voice sound so deep, like a movie of large russian lady that is mean n tough with deep manly'ish voice? Will it change ever, after first sex or am I going to be like this my whole life :(

Unfortunately, there are some things we cannot change about ourselves. I think your deep voice is very unique and I think men would find that attractive. I'm sure that as long as your voice is still identified as being female, you should be fine. Your voice will not change after the first time you have sex. If you are going to have sex the first time, and you have found a good man, then im sure that he loves your voice just the way it is. You should try to not be insecure about it. You found someone who loves you for you. The first time you have sex may not be that pleasurable for you but that should not make you any bit discouraged. It's something you have to practice to become better at because you don't know what you like and you don't know how your body will respond. It takes time to get to know these things. It might hurt considering you have not done anything before. I am sure the guy whom you're with will know how to get you going in the right way. Take care.

so, when i'm on my period i still bleed even when i'm taking a shower, if i pee (okay, we all do sometimes right?) a little of blook comes out, or sometimes period clots. Is it normal? i've never tried taking a bath when i'm on my period or being in a pool, but when i take a shower i don't stop bleeding. is this normal?

yes it is absolutely normal to bleed while taking a shower. and in clots to it is normal. Your body isn't just letting go of blood. That thick gooey stuff u see leaving your body is what lines your uterus when your body is ready to become pregnant. It's what a fertilized egg uses for nutrients to grow. That lining is what is shed, along with the unfertilized egg your body made, which is why its not only liquid and very thick. I wouldn't soak in a tub on my period. You have 3/4 weeks to enjoy all that bath time. You dont want to risk the blood and lining leaking in the water. At that point, you might just feel grossed out. But if you wear a tampon, you will be able to hold it in. I don't wear tampons so i cant assist you on whether or not it really works. but many people swim with a tampon so im sure that's okay but as for showering and cleansing yourself, i wouldn't recommend a bath but a good shower. wahtever wants to fall out, let it fall..

Looking back on high school, I seemed to let my emotions get in the way of my studies the majority of the time. Instead of ignoring the fact that I was lonely, and "weird", compared to most people at my school, I just let it drag me down. Going into high school, from middle school, I thought I'd be smarter than that, and that I wouldn't lose focus, because of all the stories I knew about nerds being the true winners in the end. My own parents were like this, and rose to great heights. They brought our family to America for more opportunities. But I just let myself down, basically. I let everyone down. I now look at other people who were in similar situations, or even worse, who were able to get straight As despite adversity. How in the world can I be more like them, now that I'm in college?

I just started this semester, and am wanting to use this new opportunity to fix my mistakes and get on the path I really want to, to reach my career dreams. It's never too late, right? There were people who honestly weren't even as smart as me who still got better grades, because they worked hard. Often, these people had social lives, too. I mean, you would think that not having a social life would speak better for my grades, but I guess they had the opposite effect, because despite the fact that I was a loner in high school, I'm actually an extrovert at heart.

So I need to learn to be more like the people who've become really successful through hard work, basically. What can I use as inspiration everyday, when something triggers the depression I felt in high school, and makes me feel like I don't deserve the success that I dream of? Now I'm stuck criticizing myself for my past mistakes and past emotions instead of moving on and being a better person. How do I get over this?

I could have accomplished so much more in high school but it's like I spent the whole time just punishing myself, just because I didn't have close friends or went to parties or anything. Even when I'd know such things weren't important, my heart still felt the pain, a pain that couldn't be numbed out through friends because I didn't have any close friends, only acquaintences. So I became pretty internet addicted.

In theory, I'd rather be successful with no friends than unsuccessful with no friends, but when my spirit is low, I end up not doing anything. Just working against my won self interest. If I did a lot better in school I could have gone to a far better college, where I could relate to others who had social issues growing up. In fact, I applied to my college very late, because I didn't think a college would want me, because I wasn't proud of myself. So how could I have written an essay promoting myself? It would have felt like a lie to apply to my dream college when I didn't deem myself fit. So, it was like, instead of working hard and failing, I just sabotaged myself so I'd be completely in control.

Sorry this is really long, I'm just wondering what do other people do, to ignore BS and just focus on what they really want, and feel like they deserve it. I've tried seeing a few therapists but I just don't feel they understand me. So maybe I just need to somehow find away to completely blot things out, because my problems now will mean nothing in the long term. I think it would help to hear another's perspective, cause my mind says all the right things, but my actions speak differently. I need to change so much about myself!

In college, you need to make due with all of your positive aspects about you and use them to your advantage. Yes there might be bad qualities that you have which will bring down and hinder your progress and they will continue to do so but you have to remember that each time it happens, you need to make an even greater comeback and try to minimize the amount of times you're falling back. I think you secretly want to be noticed by other people and yet you want all the successes in the world. Honestly, I used to look at life like that, wishing I could have the best of both worlds, but in reality, it doesnt and almost never happens that way. Having close friends is one thing, you should always have a friend and always have someone to talk to. But you need to realize when push comes to shove, you need to look out for you and only you. Friends can't help you when you're fighting your battle to make it in life, because they're fighting theirs. It's good to know mentally what you want, but you need to make sure your actions start speaking up for itself because only then your mind will actually get the satisfaction that you're making progress. Do what you can in college to get out there and get involved, you will inevitably get to know people and may even make friends. Things don't come easily and you might not make friends your first semester or even two, but if you become a constant in other people's lives, you're bound to get to know someone and if you get to know the right people, they'll help you to be in the right successful direction.

i loved a person and hetoo loves me a lot but our parents are not all accepting our love . my parents fixed a mtach andthey want me to do that match whihc i dont like when i asked this to beloved he said his parents also not accepting, moreover our parents are saying if we wont listen to them they will die.advise.

Are you of Indian descent? A lot of marriages in India stem from arranged marriages, that seemingly don't end up in divorce. But you have to realize, in an Indian society, your own neighbors and family look down on you when they hear news of divorce. Indian people, to me always have to seek others approval to be someone in life. Wives accept their "misery" and somehow grow to accept the person they are married to. It is hard, but it can be done. You have to think about your life and what you want. Do you want to live with your parents and family and society approval all the time? Can you handle criticism in the future from people that you once called your friends? If you can, then I think you should be able to marry the person you fall in love with. Your parents will not die because you refuse to marry the person they want. You need to realize that the person they arrange you with, is the person they think you have a better chance of living with, financially, medically, etc. That is the point of arranged marriages. You should get to know all of this information about the person you are in love with too and compare if you can handle it with your future.

I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year now and we havent been using a condom just the pull out method which I know isnt safe. I have tried birth control but it just makes me so sick I cant handle it. I asked him the other day if we could start using condoms because we have been going through some very rough patched in our relationship (he cheated) and I am trying to give him a chance to prove to me that he wont do it again but I DO NOT want to get pregnant right now we are not ready. So when I asked him to wear them he refused said that he will not wear them and its because he will not enjoy sex at all. He just said that I should go on birth control....he doesnt understand that I have tried too. He also got mad and said I guess we wont have sex then. I don't know if I should be upset or understand how he feels. Am I being selfish for thinking that he is not respecting me as his girlfriend? Please help!

I really do think he's not respecting you. Sex is also a mind pleasure, not only physical. I think he is over-embellishing the fact that he won't enjoy sex AT ALL. There are so many men out there who wear condoms and have stable and strong relationships with their girlfriends. If he got mad at you and said he won't have sex with you makes it seem that he's not going to stick around if he can't have sex with "you." And considering he cheated on you, he should be trying his best to make it up to you. If birth control makes you sick and you have expressed that fact to him and he still insists on it, then I think you really need to re-think this relationship. Last thing you want is to have an unwanted pregnancy. I hope things work out for you. And I also don't mean to be negative.

Sorry, I just asked that question about the guy and his intentions and I decided I'm going to elaborate more haha. When I said seeing each other, I meant FWB, but it was obviously more than that. He would act like my boyfriend, take me out in public, invite me out every night, ask me to sleepover.. And I'm almost positive that I was the only girl he was talking to. I think we stopped talking because I wasn't really hanging out with him as much as I used to, and I was sort of being a tease (I would hang out with him and cuddle, but as soon as he tried to do more I would back away. It never seemed to bother him though). I really liked hanging out with him, and I kind of feel like it's my fault things aren't how they used to be, but he is being so confusing! But does the fact that we were more than FWB but less than a relationship change any opinion you had about my other question? Sorry for the back to back questions

I have no problem with the back to back questions. It helps me answer you better with more knowledge. You know, I think most people start as fwb just to test the other person without jumping into a relationship right away, you know, skip all the shy stuff and get straight to it. But here's the thing, I don't know if you want to have a relationship with him in the future, but if you do, you need to show him. I understand that you want to be a tease because there's no official name to what you have, but if you both continue to progress in the fwb scenario, then you guys will have expectations from another (which is exactly what your question is about). You're starting to have expectations from him, so at this point it's a little more than just fwb. You're now expecting him to talk to you, hang out with you. If you started to pull away from him while the fwb was developing, then he may take it as a sign that you're not into him and either he's doing something wrong or he doesnt know what he wants either. You can't always be a tease whenever he tries to do more because then he gets the impression that you're just into cuddling, and he might want more than that, like you do. (I'm not saying you want a full blown relationship but if you're wondering why he stopped talking to you and things aren't the same, then somethings definitely up). I still hold my same advice that you should eventually talk to him and tell him what's on your mind. It might bring you guys closer together.

This guy and I were seeing each other for about a month and a half, then things sort of died down. We wouldn't talk for a few days at a time and stopped hanging out, which was different from our usual texting all day and hanging out once or twice a week. This all happened so suddenly that I'm not sure what is going on. Right when I begin to think it's finally done, he comes back. If I don't text him, he will chat me on facebook randomly like nothing happened. When we text, he stops replying after a couple hours. What confuses me is that this happens almost everyday. I don't get why he would start a conversation with me, only to cut it short. I thought he didn't like me anymore, which is why things slowed down, but the fact that he keeps talking to me makes me wonder. Why does he make an effort to talk to me, then just stop replying? And what are his intentions?

Wow, that sounds so confusing on his part. I really hate when guys do that. They make you think you're into them one minute and next they leave you hanging. When you say seeing each other, do you know if he was only talking to you? Or did he have other close girl friends? In order to find out what the problem is, or why he was acting like that, you have to ask. But I know you don't want to directly ask him out of the blue. You should continue to talk to him and see if he responds back in the way you expected, if all goes well, try to ask him what happened (if you guys get closer). That way, he won't think of it as alarming or you trying to be clingy. The only bad part is that whatever he tells you, you just have to accept unless you choose to otherwise. Just know that eventually, the truth comes out. As for his intentions, you really won't know that unless you keep talking to him. But even sometimes, that won't help. But if he is an honest guy, then you'll know that he has good intentions and wouldn't do anything to upset you or make you doubt his actions.

FWB has been texting me everyday, wants to hang out all the time, invites me out with his friends (even when it doesn't involve drinking or partying), uses pda when we're together, wants me to sleepover, etc etc. Also I'm pretty sure he's not talking to any other girls because it seems like he's always asking me to hang out even before he makes plans. I consider us FWB because we hooked up before we got to know each other, and still do, except now we talk pretty much everyday. When we're together he does boyfriend-like things like hold my hand, put his arm around me, etc. Also when we meet up it doesn't always end with sex. Sometimes we just sleep together and cuddle. Is there a sign of something more or is this how all fwb situations work?

Hi there. I'm not very familiar with FWB situations but from what you've described, that seems like more than a FWB situation there. FWB usually is for just physical comfort, but it seems like he's into emotional comfort with you and he probably feels like you're a safezone for him. It's a good thing if you want a more meaningful relationship with him. If not, you should try to talk to him and ask what his intentions are.

My boyfriend went to a party last weekend and I stayed home under the impression that it was a boys night. Well last night I got nosy and looked through his phone. Come to find out I was invited and he told his friend that he was leaving me at home because I was a party pooper. When his friend asked how he proceeded to tell him that I don't drink, I don't know how to socialize, and that I would just cling to him all night and he didn't need all that shit. My feelings are extremely hurt. He has never even been to a party with me and I am one of the most sociable and independent people. I'm confused as to why he feels this way about me. We have only been together for three months. It is not serious on my end yet but he has made it clear that it is for him. This situation makes me want to leave him. I feel as if I deserve someone who won't talk about me like that. Am I overreacting or do I have sound cause to be upset?

Yes, You do have a right to be upset and you're not overreacting. He has no right to tell his friends stuff like that about you, especially if you're in a relationship. He lied. I think you should tell him what you saw and let him try to talk his way out of it... I know its not serious but this is a big no no already and you definitely don't want it to get worse.

My boyfriends father just got out of jail 5 months ago he had been in there for 4 years and this was my first time meeting him. He seemed generaly nice and when he asked if he could stay with us I told him I had to think about it. A day later he said he would pay rent and help with food if he could stay because he got Assistance. Having a new born I decided we needed all the help we could get. Well he didn't help with rent or food at first but he did a car payment for us so I let him stay. Every month he said he did a payment but still didn't help with rent. I got real frustrated when our lease was up and we had to move and he said he would pay half and turned up not paying a dime. I eneded up getting money off my parents to pay for a new place. Then a repo man came for our car. Apperently he had not been paying anything twards the car. Lately he has been staying with his mother and staying here once a week. One morning after staying here my parents picked me up to get the car back as a early christmas day present and he stayed behind. When we get home my boyfriends guns and amo was taken. (They were given to him by his dads dad so they are in his name) and his dad said it was because my boyfriend was going on the road for truck driving and we be gone days on end. Now his dad is saying we owe him 200$ for spending his money on our gas bill. We have already faught so bad I kicked him out once and he made my boyfriend pick me or him. (The fight was soon over when he realized I had been right and that I had nothing to be sorry about)after all this I don't want his dad living with me while my boyfriend is away and I don't like that he went in our room to get the amo. I don't know how to say this without upsetting everyone but I know if he stays ill pack my stuff and take off with my son(ill let my boyfriend know where I am and such). Advice?

I think you need to do what's best for your son and you. First of all, your boyfriend needs to tell him that he needs to find a job or something because he's literally wasting space just being there. He hasn't paid for anything, hasn't done anything, and does not help. You have a child you need to worry about. The only problem is, I don't think you should leave your boyfriend. After all, it's the baby's father and the separation between you two might take a toll on the relationship. Where will you go with your son if you do leave? Are you stable enough to live without your boyfriend's help? In all honestly, I think the dad needs to go, not you. It's your place, his son's place, his son's life, not his. He had his chance to live and he shouldn't infringe any of that on his child and his child's family.

15/f hes 15/m im a capricorn and hes a taurus if that means anything but it helps me. im going to try to make this as short as possible. anyway this guy i've been talking to for about a month we have a lot of classes together and we talk and text alot i feel like i've been best friends with him my whole life. we started talking and we found out that we are physically each others types and we wouldnt mind hooking up and being friends, since we already are, kinda like a friends with benefits thing. but then when we were gonna hang out and hook up, he suddenly couldnt so we were gonna hang out that week, so i was like ok (this was about a month ago) but i never got his text to hangout so then that day he told me over text that he likes me and kinda has feelings for me and i didnt tell him i liked him until two days later and but then he started getting kidna shady and it felt weird becasue he didnt ask me out or anything and still flirty with other girls, becasue thats how he is and he said he wasnt intrested in any of them. so i just told him flat out that i dont want this to be weird so lets go back to being friends and if we hook up then i guess it happens. then like two days ago i guess our feeling for each other never diminshed because he wouldnt tell me who he liked and said he would only tell me if i told him, becasue this time i think he was scared i would reject him becasue i told him i would probablly never want to be serious with him. and so the next day he finally told me how he felt that he still kinda has feelings for me and likes me. when he told me over text that he liked me it was bittersweet i guess you could say because i like him, we would hookup, i like him as a person/friend but then he just made things so complicated again! this is the whole reason i wanted to back to being friends again. so far i havent told him how i felt but the thing is what am i supposed to do? i dont think he's gonna ask me out, not that i want that, becasue im not sure if i want a relalitonship. but its like i dont get it like he likes me, he wants to hook up, were still frineds but no relationship, and i think i want the same..is that bad? BUT i havent seen him two days which is when he told me he like med, and he hasnt texted me in a day which is weird for him, and now i think he feels awkward because he said he liked me but i never told him that i liked him and now i dont know what to do before this get awkward and lose my friendship with him or something bad happens i dont know what to say to him? thanksss also i feel like im going crazy because i like him but he flirts with girls in front of me and then we get into fights and i just dont know what to do

This is a complicated situation indeed. I think you need to decide what you want because it seems like he wants a relationship and you're not sure. Because he told you he liked you, I don't think you guys can just be friends anymore, especially since you've admitted you have feelings for him.You should tell him everything, how you feel. Tell him you like him too, but you're not sure you want a relationship. Maybe he can convince you it's all worth it, being with him. I think you hurt him when you didnt tell him you liked him back and he's turning to other girls to help him feel better, or that he's trying to make you jealous so that you could step up to the role. I would talk to him and be honest with everything because then you wouldn't need to question everything when he's the source of your questions AND answers. Good luck.

Well my name is Allison 13/f and there is this guy named Hunter 13/m. Well we dated before and we always met in the band room at our school because no one is down there. As you can imagine we did things. I started feeling like he just used me for my body. I asked him if it was true and he said no that he loved me for me. Well, we broke up and he started dating one of my good friends. But he asked me to be friends with benefit and I told him I guess. But then it confirmed that I thought he was using me. But they broke up. Well yesterday we both ended up in the band room. He asked me if I would do things and I told him no because he hasn't been talking to me. He told me he would start so I said we would do things on Monday if he did. So, do you think I did the right thing? :)

No, actually I don't think you did the right thing at all. He just said yes he'll talk to you more just to make out and possibly have sex with you. Is that what you really want? If he were a good guy, he could have at least told you he was dating your "good friend". And please trust me on this, no proper guy should ever ask a girl to be friends with benefits with them. Point blank. I think you can do better... much better. Good luck.

I met this guy about a month ago at a bonfire, we were cuddling and the next day became Facebook friends. Ever since then we've been texting almost every day and go out every weekend (usually to parties or to drink). He would always ask me to come over, or to meet up with him and hang out. The third time we met up was at his house party and we had sex. Everything was going good until this past week. He's been slowing down on the texting and it's the first weekend we haven't hung out (my fault). I actually had to text him first yesterday which usually never happens. What I'm asking is are we in a fwb situation? And if so, do you think he's starting to not want to be in whatever kind of arrangement we're in?

Considering how you guys started out, there was no foundation you guys set nor any rules. The only thing you can afford to do at this point is ask, for your own peace of mind but if he tells you something came up or gives you some excuse, then it's probably not a fwb, just a fling. If you guys continue to meet up in the future, then yes it is a fwb. Talk to him and see if his mind is still into it because you do have a right to know but you can't have too many expectations on your part.

Hello im rick and im in desperate need me and my wife are not getting along at all we talk and get no where but more mad she say its me i say its hete and im asking how do i make her fall in love again also my sex lifr is evaporated

Hello Rick. That is a tough one. It's hard to answer you with no examples at all of what you and your wife are going through. Honestly, you and your wife need to talk first and establish that you both want things to work out first. If you want, you can always get back to me after you've tried that.

I know a lot of people have this discharge from the vagina but I was wondering if a lot of u girls have the same ? Is it normal ? My discharge is every single day , and there's a lot to . Sometimes it looks like i peed my pants a little bit .... It's awful . It feels wet And looks wet .Like I have so much ... Blahh idk what to do ? Is it normal

For hygene purposes, you should always wear a pantiliner, especially when you know you're having such heavy discharge. It happens to some girls more than other, but it is relatively normal. If it starts to smell and turn an odd color, then you should get it checked out.

so there is a issue that i'm dealing with right now..

this guy where i'm fwb came over my house last time and when he came over, we got caught by my mom in the act tho.. but my mom was talking to me while he was hiding against me under the sheets. and when my mom left he got very mad at me for not telling him the truth -_- that i wasn't alone but anyways the reason i asked him to come over was because he was complaining about his feelings.. he was saying that he wants to go back to his ex.. who he cheated on with me.. i don't believe him.. but he told me he broke up with her because of me.

but he said before the summer holidays that he was going to break up with her because he was going to study acting (in the same school but different building) and he would get more choice in girls or som.. i first thought it was a joke.. but later i saw on fb it was over between them. so anyways i guess he didn't find any girls and he wants his ex girl back..

and so i wanted him to come over because i was feeling bad for him..and before we even started the whole fwb stuff he knew i liked him and ive told him that.. and he was still coming around. oh yeah and i'm a virgin but i'm not sure if that has anything to do with this.. but he is cool with that he isn't rushing me into anything. but i was texting him i was sorry for my mom etc. and now we haven't spoke to each other for a week..

and i know he is a good guy but he just isn't sure of what he wants i feel and he's 18 btw.

I think he just needs space right now to decide what he wants. He probably feels that since you didn't tell your mom the truth, maybe you're not very into him.
Asking him to come over will toy with his head, especially when you know he wants to get back with his ex.
Considering that you're only fwb with him, you can't forcibly make him talk to you only. I know you like him more than that but if he's not coming around and wants his ex back, there's not much you can do, especially since after being fwb with you he decided to leave.
Just give him some time and if he doesn't come around, you can probably ask him what's up but if he still denies you, then it might be best to let this one go.

This morning I was playing around on the phone and called 911 because I was being stupid and not thinking and I hung up after a few seconds not knowing they would call me back, (I've never been in this sort of situation) anyway I panicked and told them my little sister did it but the thing is I dont have a little sister so it was a huge lie and about 10 minutes later they showed up at my house and asked to see her and instead of telling the truth I told them she had left for school.The point is I feel so guilty about lying and my mom says I should forget about it but now i'm paranoid that they will come back and feel like I should call the police station and tell them the truth but I dont know if I should do it or just let it go and i'm afraid of what they might say. I'm 18 years old and I should have known better, it just got out of hand so quick. what should i do?

You won't go to jail. Do you know how many times my cell-phone accidentally called them and they showed up? All you have to say was that it was an honest mistake and when they come to see you, show them that you're fine.
You really should just let it go. Chances are they won't come back looking for your so called sister.
If anything does get out of hand, just explain the situation to them. Cops aren't evil and they're not looking to throw people in jail for silly reasons! So please, calm down :D

there is this girl at my college, she's so hot, red headed, and extremely nice and kind to me,I think I have a crush on her. I see her around and she's also at this math tutoring center which I sometimes go to even if I don't need help. Would it be OK if I secretly took some high quality pictures of her and even video tape her with my Iphone without her knowing so I can have some nice pictures and videos for my own personal satisfaction? Or is it illegal?

You might see the beauty in her through the pictures, but you have to understand that the law doesn't. I don't think you should because it constitues as stalking. Imagine how she would feel if she found out. Just seeing her in the moment she be enough for you. If you want the moments to become special, then maybe you should work on interacting with her, rather than observing from afar. Honestly, it's quite creepy, especially to a girl.

I am making thirteen in three days and i havent had my first period. I am kind of scared and all my friends already started. I have all the symptoms and my mom started when she was thirteen

You don't have to worry at this age. My friend didn't get hers until she was 15. Honestly, the longer you hold out on having your period, the less menstrual pain you will start going through. At least, that's how I see it. Also, just because your mom started at 13, doesn't mean you will too. Your bodily makeup is different from your mom's and you might have different levels of hormones in your blood than your mom did at the time she was 13. This is nothing to be afraid of because it could be due to your environment, or food you eat. The cause is virtually unknown. All I have to say is enjoy your non-period life while it lasts but be protected just incase the big moment happens when you're not at home. :D

Right now I am trying to earn a biology degree. I have a full ride scholarship, but only for my state. So I want to major in biology, move to florida and go back to school there for enviornmental science. I really want to work in the marine biology field, but it seems that there aren't really degrees for this. Basically what I am asking, does it seem like I am doing the right thing right now? Biology is a very difficult degree to pursue and I just don't want to move far away from home, and then not end up with a satisfing job. Are there any biology majors out there with some good advice?

Hi there. I'm a biology major. Anyway, you can always major in Biology in your state school and go out of state for your graduate school. Florida has a lot of PhD schools in Marine Biology. If you want to work in the marine biology field, you have to take your upper division classes with as much marine sciences as possible along with whatever required courses you need to take to complete your BS in Biology.

Use this website I found for schools in the different states, but you can scroll down to Florida to see the schools you're interested in.

If you do come to Florida, I suggest a school in South Florida. You have the Everglades right there to conduct lots of research. I can imagine most marine biology concentrated students have to involve themselves in research projects and whatnot.
