Very helpful tool :D
advice
Hello, I am 19, female and a junior in college. At the end of my sophomore year, my best friend and roommate of two years, decided that she wanted to go for a higher housing position and be an SSC which means she would be the leader of a dorm building for freshman students. She got the position and that meant she had her own room, plus I have a job at home that I like. So, I decided since she was going to be on her own that I would commute and work more hours at home while saving money from the costs it takes to live at college and the meal plan. Now, I've been working at this job for a year and everything is changing, I am getting so sick of the job and my best friend could no longer hold her position as an SSC because her gpa did not meet the requirements.
So, I am still commuting and seeing everyone's pictures on instagram and tweets of them moving in and going back to school is making me so upset that I'm commuting. I miss living there so much. My best friend and I worked for housing our sophomore year so through that job, we met a lot of new people and we loved it but now that it's a new year, all the friends we made are off in different buildings. So, my best friend said that I could stay with her whenever I wanted and all of my other friends said I had a place to stay with them as well whenever I wanted to stay the night. But I still don't think it's the same. When I lived on campus, my friends and I would stay up all hours of the night watching movies and going off to parties and making memories we will never forget. But now when I get to spend the night in whatever friend's place I choose, I will always feel like just a visitor.
How do I get over this? I know I cannot change my decision to commute as it is already done and over with so how do I make myself be more happy about the decision that I chose to commute and how do I get out of this slump and still make this year one of the best?
Thanks.
I've been commuting for five years now. An hour and half each way. So, three hours total per day. Four years in university and now for work. It took me some time to be okay with commuting so much. At first, I HATED it. I was only doing it because I couldn't afford $15,000 in loans to stay in a dorm each year. Not to mention food plans etc etc. Too much money. Anyway, now that I'm all graduated, I am so relieved that I commuted. Yes, I missed the "experience," but honestly, it doesn't matter. You're going to make friends who will make the effort to see you and now just hang out because you're there. You might put in more effort commuting, but you'll be commuting for people you care to be with and that's nice.
You might not realize it now, but after you graduate and you've saved up money from your job and have a loan loan than others, you will thank yourself. I mean I have a friend with $40,000+ in loans. He has to pay $800 a month paying them off. Meanwhile, I'm paying a manageable $150 each month. Which would you prefer?
As for, being sad to not hang out with people, its understandable. Just do your best. Try to find places that are easy for both parties to get to. If you feel like you're not hanging out with friends as much as you'd like, plan the event! I always end up planning most of the get together between my friends because I always travel the furthest. The added bonus is that you'll be doing whatever you like haha.
Make the best of your situation. It's a skill handy in life and you can take the chance to master it. You can make great memories even if you're not sleeping on campus. The memories you make will be more special because you'll work to make them.
Good luck :)
So I had been a Wiccan for months, and my dad had the bad idea of it. That every Wiccan was a witch. That witches are evil. That the Horned God is associated with Satan because he has horns/antlers. I have never felt comfortable in Christianity, but felt comfortable in Wicca, like I was 100% safe and nothing would ever hurt me. I'll be turning 18 in a few months. Should I just light candles in my room, try to tell the Horned God that I'm sorry and that I'll move in with my friend when I turn 18 and become a Wiccan again?
You're old enough to make your own decisions. The religion you follow should make sense to you and help you to be the best person you can be.
Hi everyone I am a 22 year old female and live at home with my parents. I recently got engaged a few months back to a guy my family loves. I am an only child and have always been very close to my family, especially my mom. My fiancé lives 2 hours away and works offshore so we do not see each other often. After long thought and talking with my fiancé I have decided that I am ready to move in with him now. When I told my mom this she completely freaked out saying "you will not move". Every conversation we have had about it since then only leads to us fighting and her being totally against me moving. What do I do?! I love my mom but also want to be happy with my fiancé. How do I not hurt her?
There are several ways to go about this. One would be seeking help from your dad. You could ask him to talk to her and remind her that while it is sad to see their only child leave the nest, you are growing up and its natural. He can remind her that this doesn't mean the end of the mother daughter relationship. Because he'll be experiencing the same thing as your mother he'll be able to pinpoint her fears and comfort her.
Similarly, you can do this yourself. Just remind her that you do love her and you need to start living your life. Just because that life is two hours away doesn't mean that it'll be completely separate from her. She's just sad and that's ok. Hopefully deep down she knows it's a natural progression in one's life. I'm also 22 and I will be moving out of the house in a few months due to a really great job opportunity. Thankfully my dad understood how important this was to me. It might take her time to get used to the idea. Do what you can to help her, but remember that you are old enough now to decide.
Good luck!
I need help, I like my best friend, I've been liking him for awhile but I haven't told him cause I don't wanna ruin anything I know that if I tell him I will ruin everything but I really like him and I don't know what to do :(
There could be a chance that he likes you too...Unless there is something preventing you from being together (like him being in a relationship), the only way you'll know is if you make your feelings known. You can try to gauge his feelings to the best of your ability or see how he treats you or acts around other girls. But ultimately, the best way to know for sure is to ask. Ask him how he feels about you and that you think you might like him more than a friend. Good luck!
can kissing and fingering causes late periods
There are many factors for a period being late. One is obviously pregnancy. That results from vaginal sex. Fingering and kissing does not cause pregnancy. Other reasons for a late period is stress. Often times if you are experiencing stress your periods might be late or you might even get two a month. If this is your first time having a later period (depending on how late it is) it's not too big of a deal. I would suggest calling your doctor and asking if this is of concern.
What qualifies someone to give advice on this site?
On this site, I believe that most people give advice based on their knowledge and experience on a subject matter. For example, I have experienced a death in the family so I might be able to give someone advice on how to cope. I may not be an expert, but perhaps my experience will help them. Or, if I am knowledgeable on a certain topic, I can give others my input. If say I knew quite a bit on guitars and someone asked me the best way to replace the strings, I could give them a handy trick I learned. The important thing to remember is to try your best to see both sides of a situation and to be thoughtful and kind.

I found a very informative link answering this question: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091204205755AApxyLq
will god forgive me and will I still go to heaven when I follow through with what I'm about to do. I figure if I'm going to loose everything I'm going to loose it on my terms. I am going to jail for driving under suspennsion and I,m on disability and I'll loose everything I'm already living my life in a wheelchair from a motorcycle accident. I already have my mind made up
Well, everyone has different beliefs and I don't want to tell you about my belief to sadden you or make it worse. I believe that suicide is bad. My belief is that it's one of the most unforgivable sins because suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem... Everyone experiences hardship in many different ways. What seems like the world ending can in fact be a bad situation or it might not be.
I think that as an adult, you have to confront your mistakes and do what you can to make it better. You did make a mistake and unfortunately you have to take account of your actions. If you have a lawyer or an adviser, anyone you can go to for advice talk to them. You don't know exactly what will result but perhaps you can negotiate terms that are more suitable for you.
Thinks may seem bleak now, but remember...in order to shoot an arrow far and high you have to draw it back on the bow first. Sometimes life takes you a step back, but you never know if what's coming forward will be worse. Do you best in every way possible...
I'm sorry if this post isn't helpful. I know things are difficult now, but you never know for sure if they're going to get worse. Have faith in your future and actively try to pursue a better one.
How to write my discussion for my physics SBA on moments
Can you please provide a bit more information? People on this site might not know what SBA is and it might be why you're not getting a response.
Mam how much days of conception (the day u did) you are 100 percent sure for pregnant that means whether you are pregnant or not please help.me
Test yourself a week after a missed period. Take a home pregnancy test at that time and again a week later to confirm. If you're really nervous go to a doctor to get a pregnancy test. Wit until you have a missed period though. If you get your period then in general it means you're not pregnant.
Hi, I am a13 year old girl and I am entering my school's science fair but I need a little help. I wanted to do something really cool and original but everything I think of is so cliché. So what is an original project. (It needs to have a control, indepent and dependent variables, and an expiriment.) Thamks!!!!
It's pretty tough to find an original idea. Here are a few links I found with neat ideas that might inspire you:
http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas.shtml
http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/science_project_ideas.php
If all else fails think of what your favorite topic is and try to think of something YOU would want to learn more about and go from there. Even if it'd seem cliche the point is for you to learn something new.
How do i know he really loves me when he says it?
There are other ways people show their love besides simply stating it. You should see how he treats you and acts around you. Does he care for you? Gets worried if you're hurt or in pain? Does he go out of his way to help you out? Try to see how much he does for you and you'll be able to tell if he does love you.
okay, so, its going to be summer vacation soon. And I just wanted some advice on how to get a little slimmer. Now, I'm only 13, so i don't want any super heavy exercises. I just want to slim down. because, actually, I'm really over weight. I'm about 5'' feet, and despite my age, i weigh 150 lbs. Although, I don't really look that fat. I just look chubby. i want get a slimmer body, but I still want to keep my round baby shaped face.
Any ideas on how to get slimmer and lighter in 2 months please?
Diet is a big part of how much you gain or lose weight (basically your health). It is important to be healthy. You should make sure you're eating the correct amount of calories for your age and no more. I would suggest this website: http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ It's really great in telling you how many calories you need to consume to lose or maintain weight. IN addition it tells you how much protein, carbs and fats you should take in. Given those guidelines you should automatically lose weight if you are over weight. Also there is no harm in working out. Any activity you enjoy that allows you to sweat/keep moving is great. Muscles help burn calories and it's good to be fit.
Good luck!
In about September or October, I had my first period. Ever since, I've had my period every other month. I can't remember the last time my period was. I'm a virgin, but for some reason I feel like i'm pregnant. It's weird. But is it abnormal to get your period every other month?
Typically, when women first start to get their periods their bodies are still adjusting to the influx of hormones. When I first got my period, I didn't get my for three months after and even now mine occasionally skips >.>. However, my doctor assured me that it's normal. If you are concerned I would track your period and then show it to your doctor when you go to a check up. Also, you can't be pregnant if you have never had sex, it's impossible so don't worry about that :)
I've been keeping an eye on my sodium lately. I am 14 years old. 5'2, weighs 115 pounds. I eat about 1200 calories a day. How much mg of sodium should I be eating?
You should aim for 1500 mg of sodium per day, and definitely not more than 2300 mg. (http://authoritynutrition.com/how-much-sodium-per-day/)
In addition to the sodium, this site is really amazing to calculate how much protein, carbs, fat and fiber you need. It even tells you the ideal amount of calories to take in to lose weight or even maintain a healthy weight. http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/
Good luck!
My friend is in a relationship. The guy she is dating is telling people that they are just friends but I know that they arent. He asked her to be his girlfriend and I witnessed this happen. Should I tell her that he is telling people they arent dating or not? Age: 16
You should tell her because you are her friend. You can say something like "Hey...I just heard your bf tell people you two are just friends...did something happen?" Then help her get through this. No one should have to waste time with someone when that person has no interest in them. Help her through it!
Heyoo.
I am 18 and I've been experiencing breast pain, but not in my nipples. I am a size 32 a, and have been for years. I've checked other websites about this, and they've all said is pregnancy. I am not pregnant. I highly doubt the pain is linked to my periods since the pain is all the time. I've wondered if this could be growing pains? But I wasn't for sure since I am older with the same cup size.
Any advice is appreceiated!
Thanks bunches:3
It's difficult to say what could be wrong because we don't really know all the details. The best way for you to get your answer would be to just give a call to your doctor explaining your symptoms and if it's worth a visit. Because they'll know your medical history they can easily let you know if it's anything to worry about. IN addition, you'll know you'll be taking the proper precautions in case anything were to happen. It's better to be proactive about your health!
Hi guy! I need some help for a school project. The question is WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD? and WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE IT BETTER?
Please i need some insight that will help me with it. thanks
Think about what is particularly important to you based on your values and experiences. Poverty, health care? Think about something you would like to fix. Did you mom and dad have trouble raising you because of lack of income? How can you take their experience and do something to make it easier for others in that same situation. Is it difficult for you to get to school everyday? Think about those that have the same problem in a higher magnitude. How can you help them? Did you know someone who suffered from a disease that could have been prevented? What could you do to make it so others won't be in that same position. If you use this technique then not only will your project be more personal, but it will be more interesting to do.
Good luck!
I'm 19 and he's 27. We've been dating for 4 months, we're in love and I can't picture my future without him. Though, I'm afraid problems will occur regarding our age difference. Not so much what people think and say, more of me worrying if it will cause problems between us.
Whenever we go grocery shopping, he can't buy alcohol with me. I can't go with him to any event that is serving alcohol. It makes me feel utterly indifferent, I have 3 more years until I can drink. That's just one problem that has occurred regarding the age difference.
I would just like know, do any of you fellow Yahoo users know of any cliche and or very real situations that can occur because of a vast age difference in a relationship? I'm not looking for relief, I would just like to know of what could come and prepare for it.
Well I\'m not a Yahoo user, but I\'ll help you out. First, I want to say that your age difference may seem pretty big now, but 20 years from now it won\'t be that crazy. One thing that can result from a big age difference is that you have experienced different things in life so far and you might want to do things he\'s already done or he might want to do things you don\'t want to do yet. For example, he\'s probably already done that whole college party scene and might not be interested in that any more whereas you might be looking forward to that kind of freedom and fun. Or he might want to have a kid soon and that\'s not your plan for a long time away. I would try to not act irrationally. All relationships have things to work through. What\'s important is that both of you are happy. I would urge you to express your feelings to your boyfriend to see what he thinks as well.
Good luck!
My dad died when I wad 12 and I was really depressed about it one day and my cousins husband noticed and asked me what was wrong and I told him about my dad and he said well I have always wanted a daughter anyway why can't you think of me as your Dad and I want to do something to thank him but I don't know what and I want it to be something special. Does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks so much.
What an awesome idea. A great gift can be one that is shared like an experience. I would suggest doing something with him. You can take him out for dinner or maybe to an activity that you can afford (zoo? museum?). You\'ll both enjoy yourself and trust me, that memory will be worth more than anything you buy him.
Good luck!
