  • How to write an appeal for on campus housing at University?

    Im soon going to start my 3rd year at my university! My freshmen year (2012-2013), I had on campus housing but the deadline to get guaranteed housing for the 2013-2014 school year was on March 31, 2013. Because I had about a $700 hold on my account, I was unable to sign the housing license and renew my contract. Instead, I payed the balance on April 2, 2013, but I was too late and missed the deadline. I lived off campus for this school year and it was a disaster. I met with the coordinator this morning and I was still on the wait list for on campus housing and my only option is to appeal my waitlist position.

    These are the conditions of my situations: From August 2012 until December 2012, my grandmother, who lives with us, has been in the hospital; she spent a majority of her time in the icu and was flown in between hospitals. In October of 2012, my mother was hit in a car accident and her car was totalled. In December of 2012, my grandmother finally passed away. And then in March of 2013, both my mother and father were fired from their nursing jobs. That was a rough year for us. All these reasons contributed to why we couldn't afford to pay the hold on my account by the deadline. The coordinator asked me to write an appeal so they can reconsider my position and I have to attach documents that support my claims of the financial struggles listed above. How do I draft an appeal?

    Thanks in advance :)

  • My roommate let her boyfriend move in without telling me?

    So my roommate and I are not friends or anything we met each other through the school. We are both college students and we have a townhome together and have been living together since August. I soon realized her boyfriend is LIVING with us. They met in october and she said hed just a visit a couple of nights and like 3 weeks ago I realized hes living there without even telling me. I confronted her and she begged. Now, I start to realize 3 people burn more electricty than 2 can I tell her the utilities need to b split 3 ways from now on because thats not fair to me.

    Also they are very sloppy. They have dishes in the sink for 3 weeks now. And since I have a meal plan through my school, and my own mini fridge with snacks like yogurt, I never go to the kitchen and when I do, its filthy. Ive confronted her on the cleanlyness, they tried but it didnt last. Its getting annoying. my lease expires in august and Im getting out. 😤 What can I do about her dirty habits.

  • Damaged someone's iPhone?

    So while I was at Spring Break, I accidentally knocked this girl's iPhone 5s in a cup of water.(It was on the wet bar and I was putting an item back onto the wet bar and knocked the phone into the cup). So she informs me that I need to replace it. Ok, no problem. I got the money from my parents etc.

    We are all college students and have conflicting schedules. Since I work at the mall and the apple store is conveniently the floor above my store, I offered to take it there but she insists that we both have to go there together or I just give her the money. I don't have a problem giving her the money but she keeps implying the cost to replace the phone is $700 even though I have called Apple and they said it was $269 for an out of warranty repair. Its been over a month since the phone incident and we just have been going back and forth about this.

    Should I just go to judicial services at our school to have them mediate the situation. I have friends who have damaged other people's phone and they just take it to apple themselves. I dont understand why she inists on being there knowing our schedules conflict. I just dont think she's serious about getting her phone fixed. Now the money just sits and collect dust in my wallet.

  • What is going on between me and my ex?

    So after my ex told me to never talk to him again and he wants nothing to do with me in May, I respected his wishes and ignored him. This semester rolls by and I do exactly that; if i see him, i look the other way or i look over him. I cut off contact with all of his friends so id have no reason to ever get in contact with him and I know he has a girlfriend now, so I thought Id be forever out his mind.

    I thought wrong. He says hi to me on the occasions and gives me little side hugs and I give him this weirded out look. Like you cut off contact with me. Anyway, he's on the executive board of an organization at my school and they had a banquet type event on Saturday. I attended with my friends. I looked gorgeous lol. It was funny because he asked if I was going to go but I tried to act like I might not go. The whole night he circled my table but didn't acknowledge my existence but when my close friend who is also his friend sat next to me, he acknowledged the friend but not me.

    So after the event there was an after party at a lounge. I was doing my thing, dancing with guys etc. and I saw him staring at me so I said hi and he said hey made small talk about the event. Then he told me I never respond to my messages and I told him that I don't have any messages and gave him my phone and he asked what did i have his name save as and i told him i don't have his number and he was shocked that i didn't have it and apparently he still had mine. Then he asked why I delete him on Facebook. I found that funny too because I deleted him in April, and I only post photos. But i just told him "remember how you said i shouldn't talk to you and we aren't friends and you want nothing to do with me" and he had a shocked face again and he told me not to talk to him and i shrugged my shoulders about to walk away and he grabbed me nd told me he'd text me.

    IDK what he wants from me. I know his gf is doing everything for him. We've never had sex so it can't be for sex. I don't even want a friendship with him anymore. Honestly, I want nothing to do with him, him being around is just uncomfortable. I never give him a genuine smile, its always forced and its awkward. Like i don't understand.

  • Why does my ex continue to talk to me? He told me never to talk to him, but now he's trying to be friendly?

    I am a sophomore in college. Toward the end of my freshman year, my ex and I cut things off. It was weird because we lived in the same dorm but I was positive about it. I still said hi to him and tried my best to be nice and at least have a friendship until one day he yelled at me saying he wants nothing to do with me, we aren't friends and I shouldn't talk to him... all this in front of 3 other people. I cried got over it yada. He doesn't exist anymore. Cause I honestly dont care that much.

    Now come back to school, he still doesn't exist in my world. If I see him I casually look away. I don't make it awkward because I just think of him as a stranger. He tries to say hi to me and I give him this weird look like OK. I never initiate contact with him and recently he gave me a side hug and I didn't hug back and he tried to strike up a conversation. I smiled awkwardly but I was very uncomfortable. I don't understand what he wants... we aren't friends so he's not obligated to say hi and as far as I'm concerned... I'll continue to ignore him like I have been doing.

    Eventually, if this contact continues, I will tell him we aren't friends so he should stop. I'm no longer seeking his friendship or anything to do with him for that matter. he's apologized for the same bullsh*t countless times before and I'm no longer interested in playing his games. I don't know what he's up to. My friends think I should just leave it alone but its the 2nd time he tried to talk me and I don't want him talking to me lol. and I like a new guy.

    *I've NEVER had sex with him so he can't come back for something he's never had lol and I know he's replaced me with a new girl to fulfill all his sexual fantasies so I don't know what he wants?

  • Guys: He told me he doesn't want to hurt me... cliche?

    I have a friend and lately we've been hooking up. I do it because it's fun, not because I like him. Over the weekend, while he was high, he told me that he liked me. I always had feelings for him but I don't get emotionally attached to guys. During our hook ups, I never kissed him. We recently started kissing but I would stop and tell him that I don't want to get attached.

    This morning, he came to my dorm, we did what we did and after while we were kissing and cuddling, I stopped again letting him know I didn't want to get attached. So he got dressed and was heading back to his dorm. Then he asked me to please let him leave and I blocked the door, trying to kiss him and he wouldn't let me. He told me he was a Fd up guy, and he just cant control his sexual urges, and that I should listen to him because he usually doesn't warn girls (and he has a longgg list of exs) and hes a bad guy and may cheat, and he can't promise that he wont hurt me, so he should leave. Then he kisses me on my forehead and my cheek and leaves.

    Do you think he's being genuine?

  • My friend's laptop screen broke, am I responsible? you like to ask?

    We are students in college and we live in the dorms. Her bed is a little high but its not lofted. We were in her room and her laptop was placed on her bed. I was sitting at her desk and i leaned my arm on her bed to show her something on my phone and then her bed collapsed and her laptop fell with it. I noticed her bed is missing bolts to keep it in place. Her bed has fallen a couple of times before but she never called to fix it. The maintenance department at our school came to fix the bed today but they said they can't reimburse her. I feel bad and partially responsible but to go as far as buying her a new laptop, no. I already told her I can go halfway with purchasing a new screen or just sue me...

  • Do I have a case against the person who stole my phone?

    I am a college student and I live on campus in the dorms. I usually go to one of my friend's room and hang out with him and his roommate for at least 30 minutes. Sometimes I would forget my items but we are all trustworthy and I will pick it up whenever. Yesterday I visited them after going out with some other friends. I have an iphone and I set it down on my friend's desk. And I told him I'll be back later. This other guy who I consider a friend who also lives on our floor but it not a roommate walked into the room and discovered my phone and claimed to return it to my room by sliding the phone under the door. However, my phone case is very thick and any logical person would know you can't slide it under the door. So now my phone is stolen. I reported it to the Res Life at my campus and I'm pressing charges with the campus police on the boy who entered my friend's room and took my phone. When I called him to inform him, he started yelling asking "if that's the thanks he gets?" Will I be able to get a new phone from him? He asked if I had insurance on my phone. I don't, but even if I did, he would still be responsible for taking it. Or even if I don't get a new phone, will he have to be responsible for taking my phone and having it stolen by someone else.

    I dont have the "where is my iphone?" app because I never thought I would need it. But I do have the imei and serial number. When I turn it over to the campus police when I return to campus tomorrow, will they be able to recover it?

  • My mom wont let me go to a party... I don't understand?

    Ok, I'm 17 and I just graduated high school and I'll be moving into my dorm next Saturday. A couple of older friends invited me to a party over the weekend at another school 3-4 hours away from my house and my mom is telling me I can't go. I don't understand, like I'm going to college and I've taken care of myself socially thus far and I won't make any regrettable decisions. She did the same thing for beach/senior week. Yeah I drank but I had a lot of fun and I didn't do anything bad. She's treating me like a child but I'm going to college in 8 days. I only asked her out of respect but I'm going regardless and my father is ok unless he doesn't have to pay anything. I understand shes worried about me but part of growing up is letting me make my mistakes and learn from them.

  • My friend keeps asking for a bj(head)?

    I met this guy back in March at work. We started the same day and ever since then, we've become "best friends". I'm a year older than him though(17, senior, different schools). I really like him and he's attractive and we flirt a lot but he pisses me off when he asks for a bj. I am not sexually open person and I dont think I will be until college. We are pretty close and tell each other goodnight and say "love you"; we talk everyday and have great conversations and like once in a while he'll ruin it by asking. He says he respects me but he still asks. He Wants to cuddle with me and thats ok but I wont suck him off.

    Why is he acting like that? How can I tell him no so that he will stop asking?

  • Pride issue- How can I regain our friendship?

    Ok, so I'm 16 and I'm about to start my senior year of hs. I had a friend that was like my sister and we've been friends since 4th grade. Anyway, we had some trouble 8th grade and I ended the friendship. She tried to bring it back in the summer of 8th grade but I said we are going to separate high schools so why bother. Now I just feel like we need to be friends again especially since we would be graduating this year and never have a chance to see each other again period. My sister will be starting her freshman year at her high school, and I'll finish my senior year at my high school, so maybe we can talk again. I have her email address and her house phone number but I just don't know what I should say and then, I have too much pride. She lives like 3 miles away and I could drive to her place but idk. I saw her mom last summer and I told her hi and we hugged and I emailed her about it but it just seemed distant like she didn't want my email. But what should I say to her?

  • Is Rosetta Stone a good language learning software when trying to attain fluency?

    I'm 16 and entering my senior year of high school. I studied Spanish for 5 years before dropping it for French in 10th grade. I know more from my 2 years in French than my 5 years of Spanish, and I now I regret not taking Spanish seriously. Anyway, I really want to learn French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese(maybe) and I want to learn them for fluency. My dad offered me Rosetta Stone French but I declined because I didn't want him to waste his money if I don't learn a lot. Recently I was on vacation and sitting in the hot tub talking about my future goals with my family and this couple was talking to me about French and his wife took Spanish and they don't know anything but they have a friend who used Rosetta Stone for Arabic and is fluent now, and used it for like 3 months. So yeah, I reconsidered my opinion about Rosetta Stone and I think I want it. I'm going to major in French in college as well.

    So, is Rosetta Stone a good language learning software if you want to be fluent in a language? I'm only going to buy it for French, and if it's good, I'll buy it for the rest later.
