  • Will Wet Seal still let me return these sandals?

    So like on June 1st, I bought a pair of sandals from Wet Seal and when I tried them on at home I found the size was too big. I had cut the band that attaches the two sandals together to effectively try them on but I haven't like actually used them. I also still have the receipt. I don't have a license and I've been busy so it was on my mom to exchange or return them which she still hasn't done.

    Can I still return them even though its way past 21 days? Like will they still accept it. I don't care about refund or exchange I just don't want to have a pair of sandals that no one is going to use. My mom says we might still get store credit but I doubt it. I just don't want them at all.

  • Can someone please help me come up with a good title for my This I Believe essay?

    If you don't know what This I Believe is, this should help:

    http://thisibelieve.org/

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_I_Believe

    Mine is that I believe in reading. I don't want to title it "I Believe in Reading" cause then I won't get as good a grade and I'm going to focus on the relaxation and the emotional aspects of it. Please nothing too corny or too unique.

  • Does Bed Bath and Beyond have this bed set in pink also?

    I know there is a pink version of this bed set but I'm not sure if they have it because the website doesn't have the pink color and stores generally don't put everything online. And yes I know the pink is sold at Macys but I have to get a bed set from this store because my parents said it is cheaper.

  • Do I have carpal tunnel syndrome and how do I get rid of it?

    Last Wednesday my hands started feeling swollen and bruised. At first I dismissed it as nothing as I have had these pains before but they only lasted a few hours or so. However it got worse the second day. It felt like my hands were swollen and bruised and they were very red and had a burning sensation but my right hand was worse since I write with it. It just got worse when I wrote. I have SAT classes so I have to write a lot and I play the violin. My dad who is a cardiologist looked at my hands and said I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I took some antiinflammatory medication and the swelling and burning went away but my fingertips were still a bit sore. Today the swelling and burning returned but its only my left hand. I'm confused do I have carpal tunnel or not? This is not my dad's specialty.

    I got braces for my hands and my dad instructed me to wear them every night for two weeks. If I do have carpal tunnel syndrome how do I get rid of it and when should I see a doctor? I sacrificed playing for a bit but I have to practice before school starts. I can't stop writing because I have SAT classes and homework from that and AP/honors summer homework from school. Don't skim because every detail is important.

  • How do I get the rid of the pain in my hands?

    Ever since yesterday my hands have been hurting a lot. They are really red and blue/purple in some spots. They feel swollen, bruised, sore, and hot. I've had these pains before but not as intense and it only lasted a few hours. It got progressively worse as yesterday it was just my palms but today it spread to my fingers. I think its from writing a lot and playing the violin and writing just makes it even more painful. My parents think I'm overreacting and its no big deal and I'm using it as a excuse to get out of homework but it hurts a lot. I can't stop writing because I have SAT homework and AP/honors homework (yeah I'm a nerd who doesn't get a real summer break) and not practicing the violin is going to screw me over eventually. Even typing this is extremely painful. How do I get rid of the pain? Is there some kind of remedy or massage or medicine or something? I can't tell even if my hands are swelling and I'm kind of alone in this since my parents don't seem to care.

  • Can someone please give me a prompt for a Great Expectations analytical essay?

    We haven't been given a topic whatsoever which makes it a lot harder. I have read the book but this is still difficult. I need a prompt that I could write at least 3 pages double spaced that won't sound like bs and is easy to write for someone who is bad at writing analytical essay. I also need help brainstorming cause I am having major writers's block. 10 points for best and most helpful answer. I need to get above an 85% on this essay.

    NOTE: I HAVE READ THE BOOK AND I AM NOT ASKING FOR YOU TO DO THE ESSAY FOR ME. I JUST NEED A PROMPT AND IDEAS AND INSPIRATION TO GET THE BALL ROLLING.

  • Can someone give me an easy topic to write about on Great Expectations?

    I suck at writing essays and I have to write an essay on Great Expectations. We haven't been given any topics which makes it harder. What would be an easy topic to write about that I could write 3 pages on? It can't be too easy and on the surface considering this is an advanced English class but not way too difficult as I need to get an A on it.

  • I am running for my school's Red Cross Club secretary/treasurer for next year?

    I am going to be a junior next year and this is the first time I am running for an officer position. I am running for both secretary and treasurer and will take whichever one they give me (we could put as many positions as we wanted in case we didn't get one). Anyways all the president told me is to bring a resume or list of things I have done at my school and for my community and my gpa and "other things of that sort" to my interview. They said they will ask me a set of questions and that it will be pretty "laid back". I know it is not that competitive considering there are only 4 positions (president, vp, treasurer, and secretary) and 4 people running including me but if I suck they could always ask anyone else to run. Two are incoming seniors but they are going for president/vp so that does not affect me. The other is an incoming sophomore who is running for everything so I guess he's my only competition.

    Anyways I am really freaked out. How do you write a resume because I have never written one before? What kind of questions would they ask me? What does "anything of that sort" mean? This is my first time doing something of this sort so I need help!

    My gpa isn't that great since it is a 3.5 but I am also a part of my schools MUN, CSF and Interact Clubs. Outside of my school, I volunteer at the library and the hospital. I just joined the Venturing Crew and I have a black belt in Taekwondo and I have been doing Indian classical dance for like 7 years. I am also a part of the school orchestra (violin) but that's a class so I doubt it would count. I don't have any leadership positions in anything yet because for my other clubs that generally goes to seniors and I'm just a sophomore so this would be my first leadership position. What are my chances? I'm REALLY freaked out as you can tell.

  • Really worried about getting into college?

    This is going to seem like a rant but I'm worried I won't get into college. My freshman gpa was 3.29 and 3.86 (first and second semesters respectively). I'm a sophomore and this year I took two weighted classes: honors precalc and AP Euro). I dropped AP Euro cause it was giving me mental breakdowns and I was scared that I would get a C. Big mistake cause the week after I left, everyone got As and kept them because of notes and bathroom passes and extra credit. Now I feel really guilty especially since the AP test is today and the textbook NOW looks easier to read. Oh well... I'm taking APUSH next year and AP Econ the following. Anyways this year first semester i got 2 Cs: honors precalc and chemistry, and 1 B in Adv. English (this class isn't weighted). So basically my gpa is 3.29 for the first semester AGAIN. My extracurriculars aren't great either. I suck at sports. I'm in my own school orchestra but the thing is I wasn't taking the class freshman year since i was taking an extra science so now I'm afraid that doing 3 instead of 4 years of a band class will hurt me. Same exact thing for clubs I didn't do any freshman year but I started this year, they are Interact, Model UN, CSF, and American Red Cross, so I am worried 3 years will also screw me over.

    I have been doing Indian classical dance since fourth grade, volunteering at the library since eighth grade and am part of the Teen Activity Group, started volunteering at the hospital this year, and I just got my black belt in Taekwondo like two weeks ago. Seeing as how my grades are going hopefully I will have a 4.0-4.2 this semester to counterbalance my sucky first semester gpa. My PSAT score was 175 and on my practice SATs I generally get 1600-1700s which is why I am taking SAT classes this summer (gotta get above 2100). Next year I am taking four weighted classes: AP Calc AB, APUSH, AP Bio, and Honors English. Senior year I will take AP Psych, AP Econ, APES, and I may take AP Lit (I will decide next year). I am also planning on taking the ACT, the SAT Math 2 and Bio M next year. I ideally want to major in something involving biology.

    So basically can anyone tell me if I improve my grades what colleges I will be able to get into if I can get into college that is? I doubt I could even get into UC Davis at this rate. And they have to be good schools (not Ivy League, Stanford, Duke or UCLA or Berkeley or any privates or hard ones cause I'm already screwed for those).
