Hi Amanda! How is searching for a job different for graduate students than undergraduates? Thanks!

Pro tip: Negotiate fees. We talked our place out of their corking fee. Also, cupcakes saves people from cutting cakes.

This! I do this all the time! I put something difficult on my to do list and then stress out about how hard it is and how I don't know if I'm capable. Then I'm avoiding doing it, even if I give the task smaller steps because of a fear of failure.

I agree. The point is to see everything. The way I do it, is I only bring $20 in cash. So when I get there I walk the whole thing, and ask for prices. Then I determine what things I want the most because once the money is gone I can't buy anything else. This usually keeps me buying a few staples that always get eaten.…

I haven't looked into NFC for a couple of years (This was posted 2 years ago). I have no idea the state of the technology. Now there's low energy bluetooth and such.

My husband's family is from Spain, and when they have leftover fries they make a thing called tortilla de patata. They cut up the fries, stir up a bunch of eggs with it, add some chopped peppers, and cook it in an egg pan. It's sorta like an omelet, sorta like breakfast quiche, always delicious.

"Moving on" might be risky depending on the state. In Indiana my brother was ticketed for a "hit and run" because he moved his car off the street and into the parking lot next to the street to wait for the cops. That taught me to never move me car once it's been hit for any reason because the cops need to look at the…

I need to know how to get glue out of carpet (regular white craft glue). When it was first spilled I used warm water and a cloth like most internet sources say. But now that it's dry the carpet fibers are stiff. Good suggestions?

Anything from Crash Course on YouTube. Right now they're doing literature and also psychology.

As a long time piano player and instructor, I will say that most people will be able to learn an instrument online in a "just for fun" capacity. I highly recommend people taking up an instrument for enjoyment and relaxation and love that the internet allows people to learn any number of things in the comfort of their…

It might be a little off from the money type documents that you guys are discussing here, but while I shred medical bills after a year, I keep medical records of any sort indefinitely. It's a real help if you move towns or doctors, so that the next doctor knows exactly what the old doctor did and can track progress on…

Good thing I tested this with songs I don't care about. I can only see the cloud icon when the song isn't on my computer already, once it's on my computer that disappears. So I tried deleting some songs I don't care about to see if the cloud icon shows up, but it does not. So.... if you've got some other suggestions…

Hmmm. Yeah. That's a good way to think about it. Because during those years that I didn't take on debt, if I had and then saved and taken on loans those loans would have been deferred anyway, while my savings would have been accruing interest. I'm still not entirely sure I understand Roth IRAs though. Even though…

I think I just realized the reason I have no retirement. I'm getting out of graduate school with almost no student loan debt. Instead of saving anything I paid for school the whole time. So..... is that a good choice? I mean, I can save more once I get hired because I don't have to worry about loans, but I saved…

lol, get larger rubber bands?

I thought it looked like Jeremy Clarkson. But I can totally see Gibson too.

When I had insomnia as a child I would play out stories in my head. It would keep my mind focused on one thing instead of many things. Helped to calm me down and I would often fall asleep before I got to the end. My imagination isn't what it once was, so now when I can't sleep I listen to a meditation on Buddhify on…

Thanks for all the tips. And good luck with your new home!

How do you get peppers with such a short growing season? I've had problems in the past where my jalapeños are about half done and it plans to snow the next day. I haven't gotten bell peppers to come from seeds in one season yet.

Good luck with the new house! What do you plan to plant?
