This might be a little too late to help with this paper, but does your University have a writing/learning center? I believe most do and they are usually free to students. I have worked as a writing center tutor for years and love them because it's really more about supporting the writing process than "correcting"…

Evidently I'm spending my evening responding to your posts. In addition, I just made a huge pot of chicken and dumplings and am binge-watching season 2 of New Girl. Soon Foxylocksley will be home and we will likely watch a movie before heading to bed at the super late hour of 8pm because he has to get up for work at…

Ugh... This has happened to me so many times. Like, wasn't really into dude but then he seemed super into me so I would think "hey maybe I should give him a chance," then chance would be given and they would reject me. For some reason it adds an extra level of ego bruise to the whole situation.

Don't worry, you are not required to wear a fedora.

If you don't want to cry, avoid Up at all costs. Do you have Netflix? There are a number of Disney movies on there—not of the most popular ones, but Hercules, Mulan, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dumbo, and Atlantis are all there. Also, if you have Netflix and want cheery animation I would recommend My Little…

Thanks for the review on those Train wines. I keep grabbing them off the shelf because they have good names and are usually on sale, but then I read that they are by Train and I end up giving them the skeptical side-eye and putting them back. Perhaps I will give them a chance next time.

I basically had to ban my dad from posting on my FB for years because he would actually try to "defend" me whenever someone posted anything that he took to be offensive or insensitive.

Yes! I have this exact problem. I always felt like I made a huge effort to make plans with my friends once I started dating my now husband, but often felt like no one would respond to me ahead of time, and then they would do things last minute, or do things without telling me. Periodically I would chat with them and…

He's got the "grass is greener" syndrome

Damages! I just burned through that in a week or two. So, enjoy! Also, I think both being out and being in can be good for you after emotional turmoil. Just do whatever you feel you need to do right now, don't feel pulled or pressured in another direction because you're almost definitely still recovering and need to…

I have almost always been the "less cute" friend, and so I have had my share of becoming invisible when my "cute" friend walks over. I'm also not great at bar-y small talk, which I think is also part of the equation. You might think that having an awesome, intelligent conversation should set you ahead of those who…

I just recently made myself a body scrub using a jar of coconut oil and coarse sugar. Works as well as any expensive scrub I've ever bought, and the coconut oil makes my skin really soft and moisturized.

I think it depends on the relevancy of the jobs to the job being applied for. For instance, I have had jobs in three very different career fields (A/V and technical theatre, office work, and teaching and tutoring) when I make up my resume for one, I don't list jobs from the other because it's not relevant (unless I'm…

How many jobs have you had? Is it more than these 3? Is it particularly relevant to other jobs you are pursuing? I leave off all kinds of jobs that I've had if they aren't relevant to the job I'm seeking. I'm not professional recruiter, so I hate to argue with him but I'm under the impression that your resume is for…

Not only my pets (of which I currently have none), but I've also progressed to anthropomorphizing things like insects ("tiny fly" the fruit fly who really wants to hang out and drink my bourbon is a reoccurring character) and inanimate objects (I did an impression of how my uterus felt about my paragaurd that had…

Hey, so just to clarify (because there seems to be some confusion based off the responses) you have been on bupropion (generic Welbutrin) for a while, you just switched to a different generic? I take bupropion and I have definitely experienced a strong difference between generics—which is super frustrating, especially…

I've used My Fitness Pal and Myplate (which is part of Livestrong.com). When I was single and making all my own food I had a pretty easy time using both. While I partially used them to lose weight (and I did) I also really liked having the nutrition tracker to get a sense of my own intake so I could adjust if I had…

Nah, they definitely know because we previously discussed getting together, and I even had a text convo with one of them last week. Bummer about your friend. Even if they didn't want to invite you along, they should have suggested an alternate plan—that just seems like obvious social courtesy.

No real advice on dealing with the anxiety as money-related issues are probably my biggest source of anxiety at any given time. However, I wanted to mention the Income Based Repayment plans which I am currently taking advantage of. The one I'm currently enrolled in asks me to pay approximately 15% of my income which,…

It's a beautiful sunny Sunday, I have been relatively productive, and somewhere nearby a Mariachi band is playing. Meanwhile, I can't shake the text-message radio-silence blues. I was hoping to hear from a few friends who are only in town for a few days, but they have yet to respond to my texts. Meanwhile, thanks to…
