Ok, so last year I began my first year at Melbourne University and to be honest, had a dreadful year. I had a car accident, didn't enjoy some of my subjects, which lead to stress and being antisocial and unhappy. I studied, psychology, biology and Chemistry. I hated chemistry but enjoyed parts of biology and psychology. When it came to the start of this year, I thought I wanted to pursue my life long veterinarian dream, however, realised that studying Chemistry would only make matters worse. So basically I had no idea of what I wanted to do, and did have a mental breakdown. I decided to defer for a semester. So here I am now, and I have decided to change uni (RMIT) to study psychology next semester, as Melbourne Uni didn't work for me and it felt like I was getting no where.

Even though I have made a decision, I feel like my first year of Uni was a waste of a year and money. I keep thinking that I should continue on with the Melb Uni science degree and just do psychology and save a year of studying, however, studying at Melbourne Uni didn't really work for me.

So do you think last year was a waste of time? Or should I make it "worthwhile" and continue on with my Melbourne Uni science bachelor's degree?

What is the energy of x-Ray photons with a wavelength of 100pm?

This seems so simple, but I can t seem to get the correct answer!

Thanks :)

Ok so I m 19 years of age, and I have stopped myself from getting facebook for all these years. At first it was just my mum who didn t want me on facebook, but then I kinda just lived without it and didn t bother making an account.

At the moment, I do feel kinda secluded from the world, but at the same time I am happy. I wish I could keep in contact with my friends more often. I feel as though, some of my friends are losing contact with me because of university and the fact that I don t have facebook. So I don t know what to do?!?

Is it worth getting?

For breakfast: 2 slices of toast with 2 eggs. A small hot chocolate.

Lunch: grilled barrimundi fish

Dinner: chicken breast with vegies

Late night snack: strawberries, grapes and a yogurt. Oh and an apple

What do you think?

I jog 6km every two days of that helps

There's this guy I have been working with for a few months now. The other day he said I was pretty when stressed and he also said I would look beautiful regardless of any haircut (this was a couple of months back). He's always teasing me and joking around at work too. Though, when I'm genuinely stressed and worried at work he acts really caring (strangely). I have caught him looking at me a few times, and the other night he wanted me to hang out with his friends (but I didn't).

So do you think he's being a friendly colleague or what?

He's got a girlfriend too, which is why I think he's maybe being friendly..

I'm 18 years old and I haven't had my period for a couple of months now. I'm a virgin, so I know I'm not pregnant.

Should I go to the doctors just in case it's something serious?

I just went off my 1200 diet a couple of days ago, so I've increased my calorie intake to 1800. I've been exercising the same (weights every second day, and running 6km in between). All I've changed is my calorie intake, because I've reached my goal. Why the hell have i put on weight to fast?!? I will admit i have felt quite bloated lately, but i am scared that I have put it on in fat. And if so, I'm gonna have to keep dieting and get to a weight that's unhealthy. I certainly don't want to put on..

For the past couple of months I've been on a 1200 - 1400 diet. I started at 62 kilograms, and now I'm around 54kg. My height is 5"5. I know I wasn't overweight to start with, but I just wanted to get down to 55. Now I'm past that and I have to keep convincing myself to stop, but then I think maybe a little bit more. I'm kinda worried it will turn into an eating disorder. I have lost this weight healthily btw, eating fruits, and keeping my meals regular. I don't want to get any smaller otherwise my clothes will look too big, which most of them are now. Also my hip bones and ribs are showing, yet I'm not underweight. I think that's because I have a lot of muscle mass.

I run every second day and do weights as well, so if I stop dieting, my intake for the day is 2400 calories!

I'm a bit worried that I will put on if I start eating this much, but maybe I should try it?

I guess I just need someone to tell me to stop, and hopefully I'll be able to :/

Just in the past couple of months I have been eating healthy and exercising regularly. I've cut my calories down to 1200 a day, and I run 6km every two days and do half an hour of weights in between. I started off at 61kg, and now I'm around the 56kg mark. My goal was to reach 55 or 54, but I can't seem to get past 56.

I eat exactly the same, I never go over, and I still do regular exercise.

I don't want to decrease my calories anymore, otherwise it will be unhealthy.

What is happening?

Yesterday when I was driving home, there was a loud knocking noise coming from the engine. Half an hour after it was parked, I went back to the car, and there was a funny burning smell.

So this morning, I got it towed to the mechanics. They checked the whole car over and said that everything is perfect. He even took it for a drive to the next town, and it was all perfect. What the hell?

I'm leaving the car there tonight so they can check the brakes, but why is my car going perfectly now? I don't get it...

This morning I drove my car down to the street, and there was this clicking/tapping noise coming from the front of my car (possibly the engine), and it would get faster as I accelerated. When I drove the car to work last night, it was perfectly fine, so it seemingly happened overnight, which I am suspicious of. After I drove it this morning, I went back to the car half an hour later, and there was this burning smell inside of the car. Now I am going to tow it to the mechanics, because I m really worried about harming it more, but what is wrong with my car?

If it helps, I have a 2008 blue nissan micra. This is the first thing that has "gone wrong" with it over the last 7 years. It s such a hardy car, so it is a little strange :/

I've been on a diet for a few weeks now, and in the first two weeks I lost 2kg, but in the third week my weight has slowed down. I weighed 61kg, and now I'm 59kg and wanting to get to 55kg. My height is 165cm. I've been having 1,200 - 1,400 calories a day, and it was working until now. I've been eating really healthy, breakfast, fruits, salad sandwiches, and of course the odd treat once a week. Is it because I'm now toning my body? I run 6km every second morning, and do half an hour of light weights between running days. Even though I haven't been losing weight, I can still notice the difference in my legs, and my jeans look nicer. So what's happening with my body?

I've known this guy for a few months now, and at the start he would text me all the time. He told me he liked me. We went on a few "dates" or "hangouts"

Just recently though he hardly ever texts me, and when he does it's very vague. He said he's sorry for distancing himself, but he never told me why he is. He still sends love hearts in the very few texts he sends, so I'm confused.

I just want to be his friend, and it's as if he's not letting me.

Just recently, I started a 6 week toning program. I don't want to lose weight, I just need to tone my body. I'm already muscly, though parts of my body needed trimming. Anyway, I've been running 40 minutes three times a week, no stopping. Today, however, was 86 farenheit (30 degrees), and I couldn't run for the full 40 minutes. So i ran straight for 25, rested for 3, then 10 until i got to the 40 (maybe a bit more in the end).

So what I'm saying, is it ok if I do this on extremely hot days, and run straight for 40 min on cool days.

Will I tone as effectively? It's better than no exercise right? And possibly fainting?

I must add that I'm doing strength training in between runs, with weights.

I'm going to be running 3 times a week for 40 minutes straight. I know I can do it, because I started running a couple of days ago and today I ran again and the 40 minutes was seemingly easy, but I still sweated and muscles were killing me. I guess my mindset was better. In between running days I will be using some weights to work all my body. This will go for half an hour. I will also do some training that uses my own weight for half an hour. I will alternate these exercises between running.

So will this get me a toned body, if I keep to it?

I don't want to lose weight btw. I'm at the lower end of normal weight.

I'm already quite muscly, but there are a few areas that need trimming.

My eating habits aren't bad btw. Yes, I do have some unhealthy foods every now and then (doesn't everyone?), but this doesn't seem to affect me.

What do you think about my plan?

I've know this guy for several months now, and recently he has been reading my texts and not replying until a day later. We can't have a proper conversation. He keeps saying sorry for the late replies. A couple weeks back he told me a family member of his has cancer. Should i ask whether I've done something wrong? Also, when he does reply they seem kind of "unhappy".

I can't help worrying!

So I've known this guy for a couple of months now. We've hung-out a fair bit, and never has there been an awkward moment. We get on really well. Just a few weeks ago we kissed each other on the lips. A week later I asked him what was going on between us and he said he's really bad when it comes to feelings and that he thinks we need time to grow, and he's unsure of starting a relationship. He doesn't want me getting hurt. After this, I stopped kissing him and, as I thought we were going to be just friends. Yesterday we hung-out again, and he kissed me on the lips against the car. He also knows I'm a virgin, and knows that It will be a while before I do it. Besides, he would find someone easier to pursue if they were his intentions.

Anyway, I'm really confused as to what this guy wants. Should I let him go at his own pace or what?

Have you been drinking tonight, ma'am/sir?
