I moved back home after undergrad and was there for about 18 months... I totally get what you mean about it feeling like a step backward, but as long as you have something you're working toward (big city/grad school abroad/general adventures!) then you should be fine and not get trapped, maybe try to set a date by…

Thanks! Whew, that's a relief! I think Best Buy has them so I should be able to pick one up tomorrow...

Thank you! It looked like they were different sizes, but I guess just a different design... :) So relieved now!

Oh really?! I was looking at pictures online and they looked like a different size... I'm not near an Apple store, but I guess I can call tomorrow and double check! Thank you! I feel so relieved right now! :)

Can anyone help?!

I used to work with a guy who had "shit happens" tattooed across his lower back in about 3 inch tall capital letters. I thought he was kidding until I saw it with my own eyes... awful, but also pretty hilarious.

Awesome! Thanks... I love the earrings and pjs might be a good idea too :)

I'm 23 and I'm 100% certain my best years are yet to come... Are the people telling you this older people? I mean, maybe with the passage of time I will look back on my teens with nostalgia, but while I have had a lot of fun, if I believed what I've done/experienced were the best things I will do in my whole life I…

Yes 100% with the eating. I ate myself to the point of being sick (I mean, actually throwing up) twice in the past week... I overeat so badly when I am stressed/unhappy/procrastinating and I know I do it and why I do it, but I can't stop. Sorry, no advice, but sympathy and you are definitely not the only person who…

Sorry! Yes, he apparently married his college sweetheart, which is adorable, but dammit I wish it were me! You should definitely give Party Down another try... I was a little lukewarm after the first episode, but kept watching and now I rewatch it (it's streaming online if you have netflix!) all the time - I *gasp*…

Anyone else want to be a "professional student" (a la "Lynn" from Girlfriends haha)? I have a BA in English and History (double major) and am currently pursuing a BS in Civil & Environmental Engineering (with a planned minor in Sustainability), but there are SO many other things I have wanted/want to pursue ... If I…

I adore Community ... my friend and I wish we were Troy and Abed (I want to be Abed, but since she's a film studies major she seems the more likely candidate) Danny Pudi is my biggest celebrity crush right now (I was a little sad to discover he's married) ... Ugh I am devastated that it's going on hiatus/canceled ...…

I need to get a gift for a friend of mine who I haven't known for too long ... She's 22 and enjoys drinking, the color purple (as in that's her favorite color, not the book/movie haha), leopard print and fake diamonds (she and I have very different tastes) and gambling at casinos ... I'd like to spend less than $25

That's AWESOME! I'm so jealous! :)

Thanks for the reply! That was the kind of logistical stuff I was interested in! I'm curious if you had a job in your field/the field you were studying or totally unrelated?

Yeah, that's the thing, I only have 18 hours of classes, and it would be lovely if I could schedule them all back to back or at least not M-F, but unfortunately the classes that I needed to take don't fit that nicely into a schedule so I'm left with the awkward gaps that spread out the length of my day on campus. I am…

Me neither... I did my first degree in another country and quite literally had 8-10 contact hours a week and did very little outside work (and still managed to get good grades) and to come here and do this, with things due every day and 2 + chapters to read for each lecture and every single class having…

Yeah... this is actually my second go round with college and I did work the first time (temping for a fashion house, working retail, bartending), but it was easier to find work because I was living in a huge international city... now living in a small college town, everyone in school is available to work evenings and…

logistical question: people who attended college/university and also worked full time - how?

I lived abroad for several years and (I'm a terrible person!) never really missed Thanksgiving... BUT I do love pumpkin pie so my first year, when I was studying I conspired with an American flatmate to make one... he was a good cook, I am not, and we didn't have a pie thing (that you bake a pie in... as you can tell…
