  • Punctuation for multiple questions in quotations?

    I'm trying to punctuate this right. I don't know if I should put the whole thing in quotations v. each question. Also do I need question marks for every question? What do I put at the end (period or question mark?

    My academic interest has been peaked by questions such as "Why do different groups of people or communities fight?," "why and how is racism perpetuated today?," and "What causes minority groups to stay in a poverty cycle?"

  • Am I ready for sex? Just passing 4 month relationship mark.?

    I have been afraid because I fear I’ll regret “losing my virginity” to the wrong person. What if I fall in love with someone further down the road and they’re a virgin and they think it would be perfect if we lost our virginities together but they are horrified to find out that I’ve already lost mine? This is a fear and it’s stupid! The thing is I would never want to be with someone with those idiotic constructed values! My future partners should care about me. They should care if I have an STD or am into S&M or cut myself but not if I’m pure or not. They should care if I’m a whore and how easily I let boys go further because, let’s face it, sex with little base is unhealthy and seems deteriorating to the self. Or maybe it isn’t. Maybe we’ve constructed it that way. Sex seems like a natural thing. The Color Purple shows how sex can have little emotional implications. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. The more value we give it or the bigger a deal we make of it makes the decision to proceed all the more ****** up. But I suppose future partners should care how promiscuous I am because it shows what sex means to me. Here we go again making it into a bigger deal than the action shows, although in this case I suppose it makes a little more sense to me. Back to the promiscuity thing, if I’m sleeping around it might be indicative that I have sex to party and because sex is awesome but I really don’t care who with or what they mean to me or how attracted they are to me overall. If I were to have sex more carefully and sparsely it would be healthy because I’d show that I develop love and care in a relationship and then I think ....I care enough to be close to them in that way? That the relationship is worthy and ready to go the next level? That I think they are worthy to go further with me? See now I’m getting back to the constructed value of sex. I want to do it now because it would be amazing, because it would feel nice, because I’m comfortable doing it with whom I’m with, because I feel safe with whom I’m with, because I’m excited to do all of the crazy positions and orgasm from him, because I think it would be a bit satisfying to actually be doing what everyone assumes we already do (you know those remarks you get on buses and with friends).

  • When to do follow-up call/visit for job application?

    I went in and applied for a serving position a week ago. When I handed in the application the hostess said that if I call for a follow-up I should ask for a certain person who is the hiring manager. I'd never heard of follow-up calls until now so I need some advice.

    Should I call today or wait another couple days or another whole week?

    ALSO

    I think I'll say "Hello, my name is soandso. I turned in an application for a serving position last week. I'm calling to see if you got a chance to look it over and to let you know I'm still very interested in the position." Does that sound good? would you add anything?

  • how to explain bad grades to colleges?

    I know I need to but I don't know how. All my life I've been ambitious and a high achiever: freshman and sophomore separate gpas were 3.9 and 3.9 and freshman year I cried because I was 2 points off from being allowed into one honor class (in addition to my courseload where the rest was honor). But then junior year hit and i took my first two ap classes and I couldn't keep up with the reading so i basically quit doing homework and emotionally broke down and got Cs in all of my classes. No significant family event happened. It was more mental. I don't know if I was depressed, it just felt like I was failing life and not keeping up with my highly competitive classmates (my school is the top in my state and there are kids who take an ap test everyday of the ap testing weeks). I really wished i could get the homework done and excell but i couldn't bring myself to do it. idk what do you guys think i should say to colleges?

  • Ideas of demands for brother under blackmail?

    I recently learned my freshman in college brother is somehow getting into town every weekend and not telling my parents. They buy him a train home once a month but usually try to get him to find his own ride (which he never can seem to do). His only incentive to be here every weekend is to visit his girlfriend. I've heard he sleeps at friends' houses or gets a hotel room. He is at least $400 in debt. I know I should tell my parents because he's stupid and just wasting money carelessly in transport and hotel costs but I want to milk the newly found info for all it's got. What should my demand be?

  • Should I go to a psychiatric ward?

    I am not sure if I am depressed. I seem to have lost self control. I am in high school and have gotten all As with a few A-s and a B. I am a good student you can draw. I am taking my first AP classes this year. I have gotten drowned in hw. I am up until 1 every morning and through all that time get 3 problems done on the hw. I love learning, but I can't get myself to do the hw. A- C D- F are my grades. They're outliers in my record. I want to hurt myself because I know this whole failure is mine. I don't do hw. I fail tests. I never have time for anything. I want to improve. I don't want to admit my failures b/c then I am acknowledging that I can't handle it, while my peers effortlessly glide through it. I would be acknowledging how inept I am to adapt. Unlike most I feel like depression and ADD are excuses for personal failures and not using self control. I believe people can fix it if they try. So this makes my diagnosis of myself all the more difficult. I feel like I am suffocating during school. My teacher talk to me about my struggles and my eyes well up and I must restrain myself from bursting into tears. Diagnosis?

  • Kokatat Drysuits..have one?

    I need to get a dry suit for competitive dinghy sailing. I am contemplating a kokatat front zip. It's ridiculous how they won't offer you the dry suit with the socks if you don't get the drop seat also. I feel like the drop seat would be uncomfortable since in sailing sitting is required. For those out there that own one:

    Enlighten me of your experience with the drop seat.
