Psychology or Business?
I'm crossed between wanting to pursue a Bachelor of Psychology and a BBA in Marketing Management or BBA in Retail management. So, I would like to know the pros and cons of each..? Which one offers more opportunities? Which one is preferred? Which one offers careers that pay more?
1 AnswerHigher Education (University +)5 years agoToo poor for college, too rich for financial aid?
I'm in my senior year of high school and will be completing this November. Now, my father works at a university and is expecting me to attend the university he works at, but that's not going to happen due to the fact that I want to pursue either a Bachelor of Psychology or a BBA in Marketing.The problem lies here though; it's a public university and does not offer BBA(nor does any other public institution in the country) and they've rejected me for Psychology and so have other institutions but the only 2 private institutions which offer the BBA degree have accepted me.. however, my dad complains about how he will not be able to pay the tuition since my mom doesn't work. If I were to attend a public university, they would help him pay but will not pay for a private college.
We don't qualify for financial aid but he really can't afford to pay out of his own pocket.
Is there anything I can possibly do about this situation?
2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)5 years agoWhy do I study so so much and still fail?
I'm in grade 12 and currently in my second term(of 4 terms) and well last term I studied so hard and the results reflected those of someone who did not even bother studying. I would spend 2-4 hours (Monday - Thursday) mastering what we did that day and on weekends I would study a total of 24 hours on 2 subjects per weekend. I would of course study until I understood but that is just an approximate estimation of the time spent.
Honestly I just feel so defeated. It feels as though there is nothing I'll ever amount to...and the pressure from my family just makes it all worse, with my cousins getting As and Bs in their 12th year last year, one graduated from university and the rest studying Medicine and such...I mean I would like to study Psychology next year but it doesn't even look promising at this point. My parents are utterly disappointed at my results and I can't blame them. I just need to understand why and how come it's just not working out for me...suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
2 AnswersPrimary & Secondary Education5 years agoMy best friend and I had the same weird dream, what does it mean?
Okay so last night I dreamt I was pregnant. 9 months pregnant and it just felt so real. I mean, I remember lifting my shirt and stroking my huge hard tummy. My mom took me to a midwife when I was due, I even measured how far my cervix had dilated and I eventually gave birth. I actually felt the pain and everything. Then I told my best friend right after waking up and she said "You might not believe me here, but I had the exact same dream" but in hers she didn't want to keep the baby. She even tried to just slit herself open., and well let's just say for her it was a nightmare and for me, I woke up actually wanting to be pregnant. The thing is we've never really talked about this so it couldn't have been our brains over-processing a conversation or anything...so what did our dreams mean?
2 AnswersDream Interpretation6 years agoI regret friendzoning him and I think I love him, what should I do?
2 years ago, I met a guy who soon became a friend of mine. After the first year we were good friends and there was nothing more to it until he began hinting that he was attracted to me sexually and suggested we become friends with benefits. I'd always liked older guys and he was a year younger than me I hadn't thought of that but I soon did. After a while I agreed. In accordance to our agreement it was 'no strings attached'
This changed after a few months. I must admit, our sexual relationship was going fairly well we were having fun. I put it to a halt when I started seeing this other guy. I was prepared to date him, that is until my friend expressed his feelings for me. He knew I was seeing someone and it had me confused when he chose to tell me this and asked me out at that point in time. I have to admit, if I wasn't blinded by the other one, I would have said yes but I had to say no. I told him why I had to reject him, he asked for one last kiss and as silly as sounds, I felt a spark in that kiss. I now highly regret it. The one I went for hurt me so bad during our relationship that ever since we broke up, all I have been thinking about was the friend. We haven't been in contact for a few months now and it's been tearing me apart. Not a day passes that i don't think about him and just today he texted me. That text made me feel overwhelmed, like he hasn't forgotten my existence and I'm just so confused. I don't even understand how I feel, how should I go about this?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating6 years agoI have a major crush on my teacher?
This might sound odd but I have a huge crush on my Physics teacher. I really wish I didn't considering I'm 16 and he'said 32,, and married to an older woman(she also teaches at my school) I've fancied him for about a year now.

1 AnswerSingles & Dating6 years agoIt's impossible to workout with my IBS?
Alright so I'm a 16 year old girl and I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome for about a year now and it's literally making my life hell. I'm almost always experiencing chronic pain and at a certain stage it was so severe I had to be admitted into hospital. Stressed or not, it just comes up unexpectedly accompanied by bloating and constipation. Lately I haven't even been able to workout properly because every time I do, my stomach bloats and the pain occurs when I'm about 20 minutes in, its severity ranges between 1-4.5/10 when I'm working out and about 3-8/10 when I'm not, not to mention that I'm always constipated as well. What can I do about this? Would it be safe to use laxatives for the constipation? Do you know of any workouts I can do which won't flare up the symptoms?

3 AnswersStudying Abroad6 years agoMy crush has a girlfriend but I want him to know how I feel?
Alright so here it is, I've had a crush on this guy for about 2 years now. We have spoken before but we were just acquaintances because he had a crush on my ex best friend but I liked him,, well anyway he was dating the girl he's with now but he would sometimes flirt with my best friend and at the same time flirt with me over the phone. Right now, it's eating me up. I just want him to know that I like him, even though he has a girlfriend. I'm mostly certain he doesn't like me but I just want to finally get it off my chest. How am I to do this right? What can I say and how can I say it?
2 AnswersSingles & Dating6 years agoI need braces but can't afford them, any alternatives?
So 6 months ago my dentist told me I needed to get orthodontics to fix my teeth(crowding). So he referred me to an Orthodontist and we got a specialist referral form from our medical aid, had it filled and everything but it turned out that the orthodontist doesn't work under our medical aid scheme, so we asked them to find us one but they said our scheme doesn't pay for specialist. We can't afford a better one nor can we afford to pay for the treatment privately, so can anybody give me any alternatives on payment? Or anything I can do, like I honestly cannot smile because my teeth look so bad. It's affecting me psychologically and I just need help...why are braces so expensive anyway??
2 AnswersDental6 years agoMy IBS is killing me?
I'm a 15 year old girl and last year I was having chronic pain and my doctor diagnosed me with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It's honestly been the worst time of my time until now. I've basically been surviving on pills and medication. I even landed in hospital a few months ago because of the unbearable pain, I was certain I was gonna die that day. But anyway. It's ruining my life. I'm turning 16 in a month's time and I've realised that I don't want to live though the rest of my youth in pain everyday like I'm currently suffering, and not to forget the bloating, gas and constipation and diarrhea. It's just so depressing. I try to work for a good body but the bloating makes it impossible, plus I'm always missing school because I'm always in a lot of pain!. So I just wanna know if there's any way to make it go away...or any advice on how I can live without all these life-draining symptoms.
Please help me
3 AnswersOther - Diseases6 years agoWhy did I lose weight so fast?
I began working out 50=60 minutes a day, 6 days a week and watching what I eat 2 weeks ago when I weighed about 180lbs/81kg. I stuck to my regime but I got on the scale today and it read 165lbs/75kg...how is this possible though? I can see a bit of a difference sure but how could I have lost so much weight so fast?? Could the scale be incorrect or something?
P.S. It s not a digital scale
2 AnswersDiet & Fitness6 years agoCan I lose weight like this?
Okay first of all stats: Female, 15/16, 185lbs, 5'3"
Goal weight: 120lbs
I don't care how long it takes, I want to do this steadily without rushing as I want to be able to keep the weight off. Now, today I began working out through YouTube videos. So far I have done 30 minutes and I'm planning on doing another 30 minutes later tonight.
If I did this every single day, consuming about 1600-2000 calories a day. How much weight would I lose in say, a month?
((Oh and the workouts I did were 2 Tiffany Rothe videos and another 10 minute cardio workout. All in a row. The one I'm yet to do later this is the 'Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred: Level 1'. I plan to do all of these everyday, if I do take breaks it will only be for one day. I have done 6 days a week workouts before, I just failed to stay motivated so I'm hoping this time I'll be able to stay on track.))

2 AnswersOther - Beauty & Style6 years agoI'm doing very poorly in school, what can I do?
So I'm currently in the 11th grade and I am STRUGGLING with my grades. I always make sure to study at least a week in advance and I study and practice hard. But it never repays. I always study my heart out for even a C but I end up with Ds and Fs and it's extremely frustrating because this is happening with 4 of my subjects: Physics, Biology, Accounting and Maths. I don't know what to even do anymore because I'm pretty sure I play my part right. My teachers never have time for remedial classes and I'm always on my own. My parents aren't interested whatsoever in my schoolwork, so I've been begging since 10th grade for a tutor or just remedial classes...but no, nothing. They always say "We'll try tomorrow", every single day. Then once my report comes I'm yelled at and criticised, but I had played my part and worked as hard as I could and yet I still get this treatment. I just don't know anymore, I don't want to see myself repeat the year.
Please help me(If it helps, I'm 15, turning 16 in June so I started school a year early)

2 AnswersFirst Aid6 years agoDo I need Mathematics to study Psychology?
I'm currently in the 11th grade and universities need my Grade 11 records in order to consider accepting me. So my subjects are Maths, Physics, Biology, Accounting, English, Afrikaans and Life Orientation. I dearly wish to study Psychology but the universities in my country(South Africa) only require a 60% in English and 65% overall average. Which I have no problem with, though I do want to apply for International scholarships in Canada and the UK but when I checked the requirements, some require Maths as well. Now I really suck at Mathematics and I would do anything to go down to Mathematical Literacy, it's a hundred times easier but I wouldn't do it if it meant I couldn't apply to study abroad...so I'm wondering, does Psychology actually require Maths? If so, why do the universities here not need it?
2 AnswersStudying Abroad6 years agoHow to pay for student foreign exchange?
Okay so I'm a 15(almost 16) year old girl from South Africa and I would like to join a Foreign exchange program so I can go to Canada(I'll be starting 11th grade next week). My parents and I have already found one we're very interested in but it is quite costly and we don't have the money to pay it off as a whole, though I would prefer if they could do that. So I was wondering if you guys could suggest some ways in which we can pay the fee?
Please help me, I have wanted this my entire life and I've never really traveled before so this can be a great opportunity for me to learn and discover different cultures and ways of life out there...
