about

My name is Elly and I am 18 years old. I live in Michigan and I graduated High School in '07. I'm currently attending a great college, but I'm home for the summer. It's too nice outside to sit on the computer all day, so I might not be as active on here as I would like.

I guess a good way to describe me is experienced. I've discovered a lot about life and I can't wait to discover more... while having fun at the same time of course! ...BUT, like everyone, I have experienced things in life that I rather wish I hadn't. And I also feel that those bad experiences qualify me to help others with this column.

I have been in a serious relationship for over two and a half years now. I personally know that love is a difficult thing to nurture. It takes a lot of work. Life is NOT a fairytale where two people can simply love each other and everything will just fall into place. It doesn't work like that in the real world.

People on Advicenators are starting to disappoint me. Everyone says "ooh I want to help! I've experienced EVERYTHING!" Yet, I can't tell you how many questions I see with answers like "you could have googled that" or "we're not going to do your homework" or "I'm so sick of 'wow does he like me?!' questions." I used to sort of be like that, but now I realize how hypocritical that is. If I know the answer to a question, I will answer to the best of my ability without making you feel stupid for asking it in the first place. Advicenators is going to turn into a pretty nasty place if people just keep brushing off questions like that.

Rate or don't rate. I really don't care. But don't give me a 1 just because I tell you something you don't want to hear. Go to your mom for advice if you want sugarcoated answers.

I can give excellent advice on:
relationships/sex
friendship
family issues
anything about animals (i worked at a vet for several years)
college

me & my cousins went shopping yesterday from about 4:30-8. my neck started to hurt and i really don't know why because it never happened to me. so i thought, maybe if i get some sleep it'll feel better. i slept over my cousins house and we went to bed at like 4 and i just woke up at 7:23 because i can't sleep, and it's still hurting. should i just leave it or is it something serious? thanks

Chances are you just twisted your head the wrong way or you have some sort of kink in your neck. You may have just slept on it wrong. It happens to people all the time. Try taking some Aleve or IBP to help the pain and maybe put a heating pad on your neck where it is hurt. That might help soothe the muscle and you'll be able to relax.

I don't think it is anything serious, but if it persists for more than two days, consult a doctor.
