I have light brown hair, and I want to dye my hair blond for the summer. Not bleach blonde, more like the color in this picture http://woohair.com/large/Dirty_Blonde_Hair_Dye_20....

I haven't died my hair in about 4 years, so there's no color in it right now, but how do I die it without it turning orange?

So I am 18 and 6'3 and at the beginning of January I weighed 165 pounds with a BMI of 20.6, which was a pretty healthy/normal weight. All of sudden my weight just started dropping (which isn't normal for me) and now I weigh 140 pounds (I lost 25) and my bmi is 17.5 which is underweight. My exercise habits haven't changed (I play sports so I have at least 2hrs of physical activity everyday) and I haven't changed my eating habits. But just all of a sudden I lost a bunch of weight I don't know why. I wasn't that worried about it until I felt really sick for a week or two (I had severe headaches and a fever) but my weight hasn't dropped that much from being sick in the past. Also, a few days ago I got really dizzy all of sudden and fell down (also never happened to me before) so now I'm a little concerned about my health. Any ideas on what could have caused the sudden weight loss?

My friends and I are going on a road trip right after we graduate so we can all have a fun time together before we all go off to our colleges. The trip costs $500, but some of us, including me, are having a harder time saving up for it because we have sports so we can only work 1 day a week, and ideas on how we can save up some more money?

This is my college application essay. I am suppose to answer: Consider something in your life you think goes unnoticed and write about why it's important to you.

Please check grammer, punctuation, etc as well as the overall quality of the essay. I appreciate your thoughts!

I am standing at the edge of Colorado’s famous Royal Gorge. Vast forests and majestic mountains stretch across the horizon; the view is breathtaking. America’s highest suspension bridge, a massive structure hanging almost 1,000 feet above the Arkansas River, is right in front of me. I am terrified of heights, but facing my fears is a must. The crisp mountain air fills my lungs as I take in a deep breath. I let myself relax and I take my first step onto the bridge.

As I walk I cannot help but to think of my little sister, Alyssa. She passed away when I was younger due to complications from Hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder that causes a buildup of fluid inside the skull. A shunt was placed in her body to drain this fluid; however, when she was two years old the shunt failed. A few hours later, before the doctors could perform surgery, she was brain-dead. In a hope to stop her suffering, my parents made the heart wrenching decision to pull the plug.

Alyssa’s death was absolutely devastating. However, I have found it is best not to dwell on things I cannot change. Instead, I choose to find the positives in this experience and learn from it. After Alyssa’s death, my family decided to donate her organs. As a result, a little girl’s life was spared and my sister became a life-saving angel. This experience showed me light can be found in the darkest of places and that life can be unfairly cut short, which is why I need to make the most of what time I have.

I know that Alyssa wants me to give life everything I have, enjoy every minute of it, and hope all my work pays off. I want to accomplished great things, have a happy and fulfilling life, and share great memories with my loved ones. I know that’s what Alyssa would want for me to, and by doing all those things I am honoring her life. She is my motivation. She is the reason I have so much drive. Not many people have someone like her to inspire them, and I am lucky to have her watching over me and motivating me to keep moving forward, no matter how hard life gets.

A sudden gust of wind brings me back to reality and I pause in the middle of the bridge to take it all in. The feeling is exhilarating. I’m glad I pushed myself to walk across that bridge. However, without my sister as my inspiration, I would not be as willing to put myself out there. Without her, I probably would have let my fears of the unknown prevent me from experiencing this wondrous moment. The inspiration and motivation Alyssa has given me may go unnoticed, but without her and what she has taught me I wouldn’t be the same person as I am today, and to me, she is the most important thing in the world.

i have to choose a scene or episode from a novel, play, or epic written before the 20th century and contrast how it could be viewed by a reader today versus how it would be viewed by a person in that time. I haven't really read many books written back then, so I need a little help with this. I have to "focus on specific assumptions that the author makes, assumptions that would not make it in this century." I was thinking about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (I've read parts of the book and seen the movie) but since I've only ready parts of it it's hard to come up with a good answer. Help please?

I am having someone make me a dress, but I can't decide what kind of top I want. It is between these three:

Which one do you like the best?

I am entering a contest for a scholarship with this poem and I was wondering if you could give me some feedback

America, America, America

What am I to thy? What do I mean to thee?

American, America, America

What am I in your eyes? Please tell me.

Am I the one who constantly works and works?

Without reward or recognition

Living without your life luxury and perks

And nothing to show but the sweat on my brow

Or will I be the one to fulfill my parent’s dreams?

And leave my goals to die in your forgotten wilderness

By Following their agenda’s and schemes

And becoming a puppet to fulfill their lost hopes

Or will I be the one everyone steps on?

With their dirty, filthy, two-soled shoes

And become a lonely, ill-willed pawn

Because I live to please your people

Or will I be the one who does the crushing?

Walking all over others like their your lawn

But becomes empty and lonely by flushing

The people that care for me down the drain

Or will I be the stereo-typical girl?

The housewife that and mother of your future

Cooking, cleaning, and giving the laundry a whirl

But lose my sense of self and identity

Or should I be the one that gives up on life?

The delinquent who trusts no one

and feels a constant need to engage in strife

And hates you, your world, and your people.

America, America, America

Which one should I be? I don’t fancy any

So, America, America, America

I will be me. Just me.

For example, if the book said this: Bob turned around and said, "Suzie, take out the trash right now or I'll take your toys away."

How would you quote what bob says in an essay?

Would it look like this: In the novel, Bob is very demanding and makes threats. For example, one day he tells suzie to "'take out the trash or right now'" or he will take away all of Suzie's toys.

OR would it look like this: In the novel, Bob is very demanding and makes threats. For example, one day he tells suzie to ""take out the trash or right now"" or he will take away all of Suzie's toys.

So I live in Wisconsin and after my winter sports season, I want to get a job. But, I am spending the summer in Colorado. Are there any companies that would hire a teen for the spring and be able to transfer them to a location in a different state for the summer?

I was playing basketball and hurt my toe, it turned black and blue and it was like that for a few months and now it just fell off. Im looking for a fast way to heal it so it looks somewhat normal, because this weekend I have homecoming and I'm wearing open toed shoes and I would like my toe to look semi-normal (right now it looks really gross) So should i just moisturize it and put a band-aid on it for a week? or should I put that hard coat nail polish on that makes nails grow faster and stronger? or any other tricks that you know will be helpful...thanks!

It has to be a chapter book, but not too long because we have only 2 weeks to read it and I have sports so I don't have much reading time.

I like comedies (not dark humor like alot of post modern books) , mysteries, and action books. Dramas are ok. I do NOT like sad books, war novels, science fiction or books that are mainly romances.

Any suggestions?

For my high school volleyball team, a few girls every week have to come up with an inspiration quote or poem and a small gift to go along with it (typically stuff you could get at a dollar store)...I was thinking about giving them "grow your own" premade plant pots with seeds so they are ready to grow, along with a poem about "growing as a team" but I can't find a poem about growing as a team....so if you know one, I would love to hear it....or if you have any other ideas they are greatly appreciated!

So i'm changing my bedroom theme to a city and I'm looking for accessory/painting ideas for my room. Right now I have a turquoise bedspread (its just plain, no pattern), turquoise and lime green curtains, a rug with various shades of blue, purple, and green (its striped), and a maple colored dresser/bedside table/bookshelf set. I'd rather not change those things because I don't want to spend too much money. Oh, and my carpet is tan and shaggy.

I want a big city theme, with things from different big cities used for accesories/artwork. I was going to paint a black and white city skyline on one of my walls. I was also going to paint one wall purple, and have the rest gray. So far I have some new orleans marti-gras masks I could put on my walls and an Eiffel tower painting.

So im looking for some other wall art/painting ideas as well as some cheap accessory ideas that I could use. Im using multiple cities as inspiration so it doesn't matter what city you get your idea from.

Thanks!

Im writing a short story for school, and in the story there are twins. One is a boy, one is a girl. Please look at the girls names, then at the boys names, and pick what you think is the best combination. Or if you have another name combo you think sounds really good, thats fine too.

For the harry potter and the deathly hollows part 2 premiere Im going to dress up as Bellatrix lestrange and I need so costume help. I was just going to buy some cloths from cheap stores...but i need help coming up with ideas on how to create it. So I need some hair/makeup/clothing ideas. If you could, you could, use pictures please!

I have curly brown hair and brown eyes. I want to dress up, but I don't want to spend alot of money on a full costume, so I plan on buying things from different stores to create my own costume. So I was thinking Hermoine or Bellatrix would be best with my hair, but I also think Luna would be fun.

And also can you give me some ideas on how to create the costume? What type of clothes, accessories, etc.

Thank you!
