  • How to be social in college? (serious)?

    Hey everyone, I just need some tips on how to be social.

    I m a female and I m 19 in college. I got invited to my friends dorm to just drink and chill. However, I don t have many friends and I was surprised I was invited. Now, I do know how to be social and I m not awkward at it, BUT I do get very anxious and intimidated when I m in a group of people and I tend to be very quiet.

    This is a new thing for me since I only know one guy who invited me. His roommate are inviting other people. How do I socialize in a casual setting with new college people without them getting bored or uninterested in me and without getting automatically labeled the quiet one before the night ends?

    I usually study like 90% of time, so... :( Any serious tips, pointers, quirks, jokes, topics.. anything is pretty helpful lmao. Oh, it ll be more girls than guys if that helps.

    Thanks!

  • Easy Density problems, please help?

    I've got two problems, just want to see if they're correct or not.

    1. What is the density of a block of metal in g/cm^3 if its mass is 33.5 grams and placing it in a graduated cylinder container 25.0 mL of water caused the water level to rise to 37.4 mL

    Here's what I did:

    I figured that the volume is 12.4 because of the displacement.

    So I did 33.5g / 12. mL which equals 2.70 g/cm^3?

    I feel like this is wrong because of the units.

    How do I get cm^3 unit?

    2. What volume does 85.0g of CCl4 occupy if its density of 1.59 g/cm^ 3

    Work:

    85.0g x cm^3/ 1.59g = 53.5 cm^3

    Please tell me if I did these wrong! Could you please show me the steps as well?

    Thank you!

  • Why does CVS require a resume on the online application?

    I am a sophomore in college and the only job that I ever had is being a server at a restaurant which I got a few months ago. I don't particularly like this job, so I'm trying to find a new one.

    On the online application for CVS, I can not get past the section for cover letters/resumes.

    I am just applying for a cashier position. Why won't it let me go without submitting one in?

    My resume is not that great...

    Do you think they would consider if I'm a server? I have a lot of experience with people. If I write it in the right way?

  • System and surroundings??? PLEASE HELP! SO EASY!!!!?

    Im doing this problem and it says this:

    a 32.5 cube of aluminum initially at 45.8C is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4C. What is the final temp of both substances at thermal equilibrium? Assume that the aluminum and the water are thermally isolated from everything else.

    Okay. I know whats given, but I'm lost right here:

    The heat lost by the aluminum (Q al) equals the heat gained by the water (Q h2o)

    and then it shows this: Q al = - Q h2o

    Why is the q h2o negative??? I dont understand the system and surroundings and the signs. please help! its so easy that i cant find it online!!!

  • Easy Chem prob: Temp changes and heat capactiy?

    Question: to determine whether a shiny gold colored rock is actually gold, a chemistry student decides to measure its heat capacity. She first weighs the rock and inds it has a mass of 4.7g. She then finds that upon absorption of 57.2 J of heat, the temperature of the rock rises from 25 C to 57 .

    Find the specific heat capacity of the substance composing the rock and determine wheter the value is consistent with the rock being pure gold.

    I'm not sure if I did my work right. The book doesn't say the right answer, so please help!

    My Work:

    mass = 4.7 g

    Temp ini = 25 C

    temp final = 57 C

    Q = 57.2 J

    q = m x Cs x Delta T

    57 - 25 = 32 C

    57.2 J = 4.7g x Cs x 32C

    I'm stuck here. Do I just divide the specific heat over to the heat on the other equation?

    What do I do with the heat?

    I'm lost with the algebra

    Please help with step by step instructions?

    Thank you, I appreciate it!

  • How do you tip your servers?

    I recently got my first job as a server. It's been a month, and I think I'm doing average. I hate being average, so I want to know any way how I can become better. Here's my question: How do you tip your servers? Is it based on how well they do, if they smile a lot, if they're quick, if they're attractive or not, if they come to your table every so often to check up on you, or what?

    I do my best to serve my customers. I'm always thinking about how I can make them happy. I'm quick on my feet, I always ask how they are doing when I first see them, I always refill on time, smile, and say "take care, and good night" after I hand them their receipt. I do a good ******* job.

    So I figured it down based on my attractiveness. I'm a waitress and it's hard to find a good hairstyle when we have to wear our hair up. Do you count in how well your waitress looks as well? Bc I hate having to do an updo, but I will fix that if so.

    So please tell me how I can make more money (because I'm a college student). I'm doing the best I can and it really makes me upset when I come home with 18 dollars in my pocket when I had a busy ******* day.

  • Why does my knees crack everytime I bend it. I'm a little worried?

    I'm not overweight and I've never had any problems with it. I've noticed that it will pop every now and then. It does not hurt at all, it just makes that cracking noise. I've started to work out and when I do squats, it pops every time I go down and come back up again. Every time. But it doesn't hurt at all! This happens on both of my knees. I play basketball a lot, I'm 18, and I'm petite. I was wondering if this is some type of sign I might have joint problems later on in my life?

    If it matters, I just started to work out. I'm usually just sitting around inside my house. Is it because I went from the couch to working out?

  • How to style my thick, natural, and curly hair?!! It's a mess!!?

    If it matters, I'm Indian. My hair, after a shower, is super poofy, thick, messy curls and twists. The only way to manage it is just to put mousse and clip it back. Otherwise, to keep it tamed, I have to straighten it and that takes a while and I also don't want to put heat to it everyday (I have to the next day after sleeping).

    Here's an example pic: https://www.google.com/search?q=thick+curly+natura...

    It looks like this, but a crappy version of it. I can't leave it out like in the pic because it looks like I just woke up from bed.

    I want to style it, but I want to appreciate my curly hair and wear it, but it's such a struggle.

    These are the only styles I can do. (With my skills haha)

    1. Curly moussed up hair clipped back

    2. Sock Bun both straightened and curly

    3. Straightened and down.

    4. For the days I look down right terrible, I put up my hair and wear a hat.

    Is there any other hairstyles that are day-to-day casual hairsty

  • How do I make friends?

    I will be a sophomore in college this fall and what I realized right now is that I haven't made any new friends....

    Now, I'm not depressed or too self-conscious where I can't talk to anyone. I know all the social "rules" and I try to make everyone comfortable and I also try to talk to everyone even though we don't have much in common. I always ask questions about them and their day, so I don't really talk about myself. I make jokes, but not self-deprecating or insulting others, but silly jokes. I make dumb bets like, "If I get this question right, you gotta buy me a Dr. Pepper" or something along that lines.

    I don't try to be fake, I'm just myself. And I have a decent amount of confidence, so I feel okay with myself.

    It's not like I have no friends at all. I do, but we're not all the same age and we don't go to the same school, so when I am at school, I have no one to study with or hang out with..

    But no matter how much I try to make friends, it's hard to get someone to be my friend. What's wrong with me? Are people really so ignorant to make friends with the "prettier, cooler" people? I don't think I'm ugly at all, but I also don't think I'm too pretty either. I'm caring, athletic, focused, and many more. I deserve someone to be my friend. This is lame.

    I thought when I get into college, I might have much more fun, friends, and things to do, but not really... :/

    What's wrong with meeeee, aaahhh!!

  • I found out my brother stole money from my bank account. How should I confront him?

    When I got my bank account, I couldn't use it by myself at the time so my brother was a joint owner with me. Now, an year or two went by and I'm able to use this account by myself, but I trusted my brother then so I didn't do anything about my shared account.

    Yesterday, I checked account online and hundredSSS were taken from my savings AND my checkings.

    I barely have any money as of now. I could've taken a good vacation with the money I had before.

    So When I found out, I texted him (thinking that he would be a good brother and help me find my money) and told him about it, but all he said "Can't help you tonight." ALL HE ******* SAID. I WANT TO ******* CHOKE HIM.

    So today, I called the bank and they told me the name of the account the money was transferred to and I was so confused... they told me again. I was pissed.

    He told me didn't touch my account ever. So now I'm pissed, but I want to come at this at a very logical and strategic way and I need your help.

    What should I say? How should I approach? What kind of tone? I'm really pissed, so any type of advice to come at this situation would be very helpful! Thank you!!

  • HOW DO YOU SOLVE THIS COLLEGE ALGEBRA PROBLEM?

    its about inverses of functions

    heres the problem: f(x): ^3 SQRT x + 2 SQRT - 2 (the second sqrt is suppose to be the end of it)

    so here is my work:

    y = ^3 SQRT x+2 SQRT - 2 >>>>>

    x = ^3 SQRT y +2 SQRT - 2 >>>>>

    (x)^3 = ^3(^3 SQRT y +2 SQRT - 2) >>>>

    i did the basic algebra here

    answer: x^3 = y

    so idk if this is right. the question is asking to determine whether the function is one-to-one by using the horizontal line test.

    i know how to use that test, but is this what im suppose to do first to find if the problem pass it or not?

    what do i nexT?? or let me know if i did this wrong and please show me! thanks :)

  • Is there something wrong with me? I havent cried since my dad died 3 years ago?

    My dad died in April of 2011. Since then, I haven't cried for him. In fact, when I found out he passed away, I was actually relieved. Does this make me a terrible person? Or heartless?

    Cause I don't think I'm a bad or cold-hearted person. I cry all the time. ALL THE TIME. Over stupid, trivial things. I was 15 at the time, I'm now 18 and I've been thinking about things recently and I realized that since he has been gone, I have yet to felt sad/bad/depressed/upset. I actually haven't even thought anything about him.

    But I should let you know that about 60% of the time, he was drunk. He always made trouble. He made our home smell terrible from smoking inside and making spills and messes everywhere. He bothered my mom all the time and I would try to defend her, but she wouldn't let me. I remember when we were little kids, she would take us to our cousins' house to spend the night because my dad was so drunk.

    My mom misses him of course. She always says that when he wasn't drunk, he was the nicest guy in the world. He was courteous, thoughtful, and caring. But I never saw that.

    Anyways, I never felt like the care and affection from a father. I kind of get jealous how other girls talk about their dads and how close they are with them and it made me wish that my dad was still alive, but wasn't an alcoholic.

    But that's not the question. A lot of people tell me that I'm heartless. Like I don't sympathize the best with others when they're feeling down. My thought process is that "let it go, not a big deal. Time will help you out. Just keep going. Whatever." Is this a bad way to think? Anyways, I've been getting this a lot lately, and it made me think....

    Why haven't I cried about my dad since he passed away 3 years ago!?! What's wrong with me?! I can cry over a homeless man and caring people, but I can't cry over my own dad?? Why can't I help other people when they're upset?! I want to help them, but I can't relate with it! Omg, it's making me cry right now that I can't cry over him, but other things that aren't even close to me.

    PLEASE HELP ME?! AM I DEPRESSED? I don't think I am... I don't know... :(
