I applied for an apartment, and before I applied my credit score was 657. After I applied it went down to 627. Will they see the 657 or the 627 score?

I’m planning on dropping out this semester and going back next fall or spring. I’ll spare you the story and you can spare me the comments of how that’s a bad idea.

I know that when dropping out you have to pay for most of the financial aid. But can I still get financial aid when I go back to College? I’m planning on going to a different school than the one I am currently at. I’m just curious if I would still be eligible for financial aid when I go back or if I no longer am because I dropped out?

For birth control there’s the 7 days of the placebo pills. I am unable to get my birth control until the 9th day, so would it be okay if I went an extra day of no birth control and then start my cycle again?

I had an interview two days ago which I believe went extremely well and she said she would call me within a week. Well my availability just changed and the change in it would benefit the job. She told me she was looking for morning shift people and I only had three mornings available because of school, but my classes shifted where I now have all mornings available. Should I call and let her know?

Had an interview at Starbucks, went super well I believe.

At the end she asked me if I know what the dress code policy is. I said no. She told me to look it up online and to get my stuff. Then she said I should hear back from her within a week.

Do you think I got the job? She told me to get my stuff for the uniform but she never actually said I m hired. I m confused.

The artist told me the tattoo will cost $175.

Let’s say I pay the deposit, which is $100.

Will I only have to pay another $75 for the tattoo or pay another $175?

So to make it ‘simpiler’, overall, will I be paying $175 or $275?

I don’t know how to word this sorry if I sound dumb.

I used to be super active and healthy in high school but once I got to college I hit a plateau and gained A LOT of weight. About 18lbs. Well, I realized I want my old life back so I started to eat healthy, cut calories and work out again. I eat anywhere from 1200-1400 calories a day, and workout at least five times a day. I have an Apple Watch so I can see how many calories I’ve burned all day, and I’ve DEFINITELY have burned more calories than I’ve ate every day. I’ve been doing this for three weeks and I just weighed myself... I gained two pounds!

I don’t believe it’s from muscle because I’ve been focusing on mostly cardio. Only doing two exercises with weights a week while the rest running or elliptical.

I don’t get it. It’s weird though because I feel so much better and healthier AND to me, I look skinnier! Not super skinnier, but I see my stomach flattening and my arms and thighs shrinking a bit. Or at least I thought.. might have been my imagination this whole time!

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I see my schools nutritionist and she’s said I’m doing good things, but seeing that scale go up was depressing. I really thought I was making some progress.

Any tips or helpful information on this? Really want to see some progress before Christmas!

Okay so I had a tattoo consultation today. I was super excited for it because it's for a cover up and he was the only tattoo artist that said he could do it and I love his work. Well I went in, he looked at the tattoo and measured it and said he could pretty much tattoo anything. Asked about when I wanted it done, I told him in a month, he said okay email me two weeks before the date you want and we can set up an appointment. He handed me his card and then I left. The consultation lasted less than 5 minutes.

Did I leave to early? Was he going to draw something up for me? He measured my tattoo and traced it on paper. Was that not the end? He handed me his card and then walked in the back. I assumed the giving of the card was the end and so I left. Now I'm worried it wasn't and I feel super bad. Everywhere on the internet said tattoo consultations usually last around 30 minutes, and this only lasted 5. I definitely feel like I walked out too early.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I have terrible anxiety and I'm freaking out over this right now.

I am a college student and next year my second semester I am going to be studying abroad. There's two places I could go, Tokyo or Rome. I have always wanted to go to Tokyo since I was young, so I really want to pick there to study.

However, my family and friends are advising me to not go due to the tensions of North Korea.

I know there's ALWAYS been tensions with NK, but the media is portraying to make it 100x worse.

And I know that this is a year away so things can change, but as of know, what do you think? Would it be safe to live there for six months?

My boyfriend just left half an hour ago. I leave for college, six hours away from home. He's going to college, but going to a local school. We've been together for two years, and jesus, having him leave was so hard. He was supposed to leave three hours ago but neither of us could find anywhere in our hearts to say it's time to go. Obviously we're staying together, I'm not worried about that one bit, I'm very confident we will be fine. But it's just the idea of not being with him or seeing him all the time really freaking sucks. We're together almost 24/7. He is my best friend, every single day we hung out, and I love him so much.

I'm not the sappy one in the relationship, really I'm not, he is. So these past few months I kept thinking I'd be okay, that yeah it will suck, but it's not like I'll be super depressed or anything. Well...I haven't stopped crying. I've been crying all night, on and off. I would think I was getting better, but ten minutes later the water works show was back on.

It's just tough. He's the best person in the world, him and I just click. I loved hanging out with him all the time, even if we were just sitting there watching tv together saying nothing. Just having him in my presence was all that mattered to me. And now I won't have that for a good few months.

Any advice on this? How to make myself less sad? How to stop crying? Ahhhh this sucks

My mom and I are getting matching wave tattoos, and she wants the tattoo to be under her ankle bone (the outside of the foot). This is her first tattoo, and she is quite terrified. I have three already, two on both outer wrists and one on my forearm. I'm also a bit nervous because I've heard foot tattoos are the worse, but that's because many foot tattoos are going over the bone.

For the placement of our tiny tattoo, how will the pain be?

Thanks for your answers!

I'm going to be a freshman at Temple University main campus this fall. I actually leave in 10 days to move into my dorm! As much as I am super excited to experience the college life, I have no idea what I am majoring in. My major is undeclared, and I've never had any clue what I want to do ever. My whole high school career I've been clueless, while I watched all of my friends and classmates pick their majors in sophomore year and begin building knowledge for it. I've talked to my teachers about it every year, and I've always got mixed responses. Half of them told me to go to college right away, that I'll find out what I want to do there. The other half told me to not waste my time and money by going straight to college and to take time off to find what I want to do.

So I had two plans, either travel the US (I have family in almost every state, I was going to stay with them and my plan was to get a feel for their jobs to explore more major options while exploring new cities) or go to Temple University. I chose Temple. Which the first many months I thought was the best choice.

But now, 10 days into moving away, I'm regretting it. With still NO IDEA on what to major in, I feel like I won't ever find out what I want to do in college. I feel like I should have listened to the other half and taken time to travel, explore, etc.

So I got my Tragus piercing done back in May. It isn't fully healed yet, and there's a bump around it. I've literally done everything to try to get that dang bump to go away, and nothing has worked. well anyways, my piercer is doing a special with piercings and it's a pretty good deal, and I really want to get my outer conch done on the same ear as my tragus. But I'm afraid it may mess with the healing process of the tragus? I don't know if that sounds dumb lol I'm just being very cautious about it.

So will getting another piercing effect the tragus healing? Or will I be good to get one? Or if I do get another piercing, would it be better to get it done on the other side? Or should I just wait for the tragus to heal before I get one?

Thank you for the help

My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years and his birthday is this Thursday and I had plans to take him to our favorite hiking spot and go kayaking up there. We've always wanted to go kayaking together but it never worked out so I was going to surprise him with it! But sadly the weather isn't too good and it's supposed to rain all day. I'm hoping it'll change but if not, what should I do?! I want to be creative and give him a fun day! But nothing like roller skating, he did that for my birthday haha. So any other ideas that I can I do? Something that's pretty creative and fun!

Today at noon I have my first tattoo appointment. When I scheduled it two weeks ago I was SO pumped, super excited. I was excited all the way up until last night. I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep but my nerves just caught up to me and all I could think about was the tattoo. The only thing I'm scared of is the pain. I know tattoos hurt, I've had many friends get tattoos. But how terrible is the pain? My pain tolerance is not high at all, and I really hate needles. So I'm just afraid it's going to be the worst pain of my life and I'll start bawling or pass out or something else.

The tattoos I'm getting is super tiny. I'm getting two tiny ones that go together, one on each wrist. (The side of the wrist, kind of like under the thumb).

So how bad do you think the pain is personally? How was your first tattoo experience? Any tips you can give me? I'm now terrified which I wish I wasn't

I applied to Temple University with early action; how long does it usually take to hear back if you applied with early action?

I'm a senior, and I kind of want to take half days. I have all of my credits except for math and English, and if you take half days at my school you only take four periods then go home. So I figured I would take my math and English, and then also take AP Bio and Latin 2.

Last year my schedule was as follows;

Latin 1 (I took Spanish 1 & 2 my freshman and sophomore year but it didn't fit my junior year so I decided to take Latin so I would at least be taking a language)

Meteorology/Astronomy

Trigonometry

AP Chemistry

AP US History

AP English

I got decent grades, except I did get a 84.89 in trig (.11 away from a B) and a 81 in AP English (4 away from a B).

I'm just wondering if colleges frown upon taking less class's your senior year? I want to be able to study more for the SATs coming up on October and also I want to be able to get a second job to get more hours in work. So does taking less class's/half days effect colleges opinion on you?

I love working out, it's a huge part of my life and I just enjoy it so much. But, I also enjoy food so much. It's horrible, and the past few weeks I have been eating much more than usual. The months of May and June I actually learned healthy eating habits and ate super healthy. I actually lost 15 pounds! But, then the past few weeks I gained 10 pounds back. I still worked out everyday, just ate super bad. I know you can't "out workout" a diet. I've been trying to eat healthy and I do it very well up until the evening, where I pig out and eat so much. And it's more than usual which is weird. Usually I know how to limit myself even with junk food but lately I've been going crazy with food, and every single night I feel guilty and like poop and tell myself I'm going to do it for real this time and the morning I'm super motivated and say no to all junk but then bam evening hits and I'm starving and eat everything. I don't know why I can't control myself like I did in May and June!

Any tips and ideas on keeping a healthy eating habit?

I'm seventeen I've worked at a banquet hall for a few months, but I only get one or two days a week. And it ranges from three to eight hours. It's a pretty bad job. There's so much work involved and I don't get paid enough for it. Before I got hired there, I also applied to Moes, which is not even open yet. They hired me and I had my orientation and training days and they want me to work their grand opening days, Wednesday and Friday. Well badly enough, those are the only days I work at my other job. I would much rather work at moes those days because they pay more and I have more hours. And I'm planning on quitting the banquet hall anyways. So what should I do?
