Gender : Intersex — if you’re confused. Yes, I was born that way. Refer to me any pronoun you like.

And yes, I’m probably younger than you expected.

Also, yes, I like to read books on all subjects. English is a national language in the Philippines if you’re wondering because of historical American colonization.

Also, I turned 18 last April 10, 2019.

Hi so, I'm gonna make this as short as possible. I'm a freshman and just got called for an on-campus job. Potential problem is, I'm taking 18 credit hours/5 classes (ungodly amount, I know). I'm just finishing up my first year core stuff (Bio 2, Chem 1, Pre Calc, all with labs and American lit and music appreciation online). I took most of them in high school. This is the first and the last time I'll be doing this, as a result my remaining semesters will be lighter. I just wanna get some experience in the workplace for my resume (1st job) & extra cash. So should I go ahead and nail the interview or pass it up? Thanks. (link)
There’s no risk in taking the job if you want to, you know. A lot of people often mention possible risk when making decisions on this site, but you mention none.


I got an email from a business frat whose info session I went to saying they selected me to join an invite-only portion of recruitment based on my interactions at coffee chats and info sessions. But, I didn't go to their chats and left the info session before the networking portion and I don't know anyone in the frat. So how did they choose me?/Should I go to the event they invited me to?

It’s the internet age, bud. Anyone can look up your info online to find new recruits.


Hey there, I'm just gonna cut to the point. I'm a freshman in college, and I was planning to enroll in some summer classes this summer. One of the classes I'm wanting to take is at a community college, so I'd be paying out of pocket. My situation is, is I'm unemployed (I have been to several interviews in the past year), have a few bills to pay, and my checking account is getting kind of low. I really just want to take this Calculus class this summer so I can be done with my degree's math requirements asap. Is it worth taking a risk with my money and signing up for that class? Or just wait for another summer? Thanks. (link)
Other than getting into a community college summer class, you can try some free online classes. If not for your main source of learning in summer, then something that can support you as you study.

The non-profit website Khanacademy is full of well explained videos, math exercises that reward you points, and even a public discussion under every lecture for your questions.

Other resources for Calculus could be the Youtube channel 3Blue1Brown that dedicates itself to teaching advanced math through simple geometric shapes. BetterExplained also allows intuitive concepts that don’t force you to memorize without understanding.

Lastly, you can look up the Youtube channel Crash Course for any of the major sciences associated with Calculus.

You’re welcome.
