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

I am a terrible horrible waste of space. I have never had a speeding ticket, I am 30 years old by the way.. and i was sitting in a jail cell for 5 hrs. last night. Worst ever. I rang up returns on gift cards, used one for $33.00 and threw the other one away. The store was able to delete the one that was not spent. I am bipolar,I am not using that as a copout ,and I have no idea why I did it and it was wrong. I threw away the 2nd one because i grew a conscience. I am facing misdemeanor petty theft charges and did nothing in my life before this. Never did drugs ever.. dont drink alcohol. I cant eat, I feel awful. I have no job and fear I might go to jail. Can anyone tell me if the judge is going to be harsh on me? Any similar situations? Thanks.

Since you have a clean past record, it's quite possible that the judge will go easy on you and most likely put you on probation and make you pay a fine. I honestly can't see you going to jail for something like this, especially since it was your first offense. This is only my opinion and I encourage you to take full responsibility for your actions. It would look very nice on your part if you wrote your former employer an apology letter and it wouldn't hurt to write one to the judge as well. It shows maturity and that you are taking full blame in hopes to change yourself for the better.

As for getting another job, try and get something that has little or nothing to do with money. Apply at an animal shelter or apply for a secretary position at an office. As long as you are honest about your mistakes and are firm with your apologies, you'll get back on track again.

Everyone makes mistakes. Just make sure to learn from this one and you'll be able to bounce back.
