Q: Alright, I've been looking into this univeristy that seems to be a good option for me, but other than the large classes there is just ONE big problem, the girls are all beautiful. I've always been extremely self-conscience and obsessed with looking beautiful, and I've been miserable the last 3 years because my classmates have all been models. Since all I ever hear about this uni is "the girls are amazing" "its very competitive to get guys since they have so much to choose from" I'm a bit hesitant about even applying - especially since I know that when I go to states like New Jersey I always get tons of attention for my long curly hair and "nice ass" (Im more of the latin type of beautiful) but the state I'm considering is mainly into the beach blonden type of beautiful.. Im just so afraid of being an outcast, or considered ugly, or even just average. Should I even apply?

If you think this college is the right option for you, go for it. Believe me, I have always been the blue-eyed light-haired pretty girl and I have NEVER in my entire life snubbed or rejected someone for looking different. I used to have a best friend who was Latin American, and I never took it into consideration. Have more confidence in what you look like. If you travel out of your comfort zone, you will gradually become more and more comfortable with people you don't know. You said you were comfortable in New Jersey, so I found you a list of colleges you could check out in case you think you would really like to be somewhere else. http://www.nj.gov/highereducation/colleges/index.html But I don't think that a confidence issue should stop you from accomplishing your dreams. If this really is the school for you, go for it because you might regret it later.

bio

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)

Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.

Have a nice day!
Love,
missbananafontana

WARNING:
My answers will be based on a preppy lifestyle. I am the clean, preppy sort, like the person who looks clean and classy and doesn't really notice anyone who isn't, regardless that some weirdos think that preppy people hate them. Also, if you wonder about the corrections on the answers I give, no worries; they're just simple corrections to those who don't know where to put a period, or that they have to capitalize the beginnings of sentences. Please don't be offended.
