  • What to wear at a receptionist job?

    I was just called today about a receptionist job, and as they need the position filled immediately, there was no interview beforehand.

    This being said, I never got the chance to ask about a dress code or about what the job entails exactly.

    In your opinion, what should a 16 (almost 17) year old college student wear as a receptionist (keep in mind that it is still summer, so nothing too hot please)

    Thank you! :)

  • When writing about academic interests?

    I am writing an essay to apply to school, and I need to write a section on my academic interests.

    I'm not quite sure how to start it or what I should put in, so I need some help.

    I'm particularly interested in:

    Ethics & Religious Culture (course)

    History

    Psychology (can I put this in if I've never taken it before??)

    Also, should I mention that I've also received scholarships in the past?

    Thanks so much!

  • What do you think of this sibset I came up with?

    Apparently, I'm attracted to "C" names on girls, and I cameup with a cute sibset that I love.

    I know it's very matchy, so I probably wouldn't ever use it (I'm a long way from having kids anyways), but what do you think?

    Please (If you can) comment on the names individually, the nicknames, etc..

    Here they are:

    Charlotte Maya "Carly May" / Carly

    Catherine Rose "Catie Rose" / Catie

    Cassandra Lily "Cassie Lee" / Cassie

    Thanks!

  • What about Michaela Sophie?

    So, as the title asks, what do you think about the name Michaela Sophie (first, middle) ??

    A potential nickname would be Kayla/Kaylie and I'm pretty sure I'm going to add (actually re-add) this one to my favorites list.

    Do you think Michaela goes well with the other first names on my list listed below?

    -Charlotte

    -Annabel(le)

    -Cassandra/Cassidy (WHICH ONE?)

    -Madeline

    (Comments/suggestions for this list are welcomed!)

    BQ: What other names would you suggest to go with these names?

    BQ2: What other middle names would you suggest for Michaela?

  • What do you think of this fictional sibset?

    What do you think of these three names that I'm using in an ALL-GIRL [fictional] sib-set?:

    Somer (pron. like Summer)

    Rowan (ROW-in)

    Joely (JO-lee) - NOT as in Angelina Jolie

    These are three names off my own Guilty Pleasures list, and I think they go pretty well together! They are each 2 syllables with the emphasis on the first syllable, rather uncommon, and have the letter "o" as the second letter.

    What do you think of these names, together and seperately?

    Do you think this is a good example of names "fitting" with each other without it being too obvious?

    Any other comments would also be appreciated!

    BQ: If you were to add middle names to these names, what would they be? THE CATCH: They must also all have a common theme

    Thanks so much,

    Looking forward to hearing you feedback!

  • Thesis statement - what do you think?

    Alright, so for an essay, I have to write a thesis statement on the symbolism/role of cars in the novel The Great Gatsby.

    What do you think of my thesis statement (below)?

    In The Great Gatsby, automobiles are symbols of death or destruction. Whenever a car is mentioned, it is usually to foreshadow a horrible event that is about to occur. When the symbol of the car is brought up, one can anticipate a disastrous occurrence shortly thereafter in the novel.

    Is it accurate?

    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks so much :)

  • What do you think of these 2 names?

    I've recently started to LOVE these two names, and I have no clue why. I find they are very original but classy at the same time.

    Joely (girl) & Ryerson (boy)

    Joely = (JOE-lee) - NOT like Jolie

    Ryerson = (RY-ur-sin)

    Thoughts? Comments?

    Feel free to rate them or give them names that would pair nicely with them.

    If you like them, please tell me why, and if you don't, explanations would also be useful.

    If I were to use them, chances are they would be used in the middle name slot.

    Thanks!

  • WDYT/HELP please for my top 5 boy names?

    So, since I've been paying WAY too much attention to my girls namelist, I've decided to take a break and pay attention to my favorite BOYS names..

    I know that I LOVE the first names, but I'm still a little iffy with the middle names I've paired them with. There are questions at the bottom of the page, so detailed answers would be appreciated!

    This is what my top 5 boy name combos look like so far:

    Samuel David "Sam"

    Julian Thomas "Jude"

    Nicholas Adam "Nick"/"Cole"

    William Noah "Liam"

    Gabriel Jonah "Gabe"

    1) What do you think of the names/combos themselves? - General throughts?

    2) Would you rearrange any of the combinations? If so, how and why?

    3) Using the following list of names, please feel free to change the above combos (keep the original first names, though) or to create NEW combinations that you think would go well with the names already listed:

    Adrian

    Evan

    Nathaniel/Nathan

    Brendan

    Matthew

    Andrew

    Connor

    ** Please use following names as middle names ONLY!:

    Alexander

    Caleb

    Rhys

    Kyle

    Quinn/Quentin

    Oliver

    Thanks so much!

  • How to lose a few pounds?

    So basically I'm a 15 year old, 5'2.5 (about) 97 pound girl.

    I'm a figure skater, so I'm constantly being measured and weighed, and I just don't feel good about myself. I really feel like I NEED to lose some weight (just about 3-4 pounds) but I want to KEEP it off.

    Back in March I went on a cruise and gained about 5-7 pounds, and when I got home it was constantly being said to me at the arena that "I must have eaten well". The weight remarks don't really bother me, but I'd just like to feel like I can eat what I want, when I want. I eat really healthily - usually according to a nutrition plan (during my training seasons), but sometimes I'll eat an ice cream sandwich or something, and I feel guilty for days afterward. When this happens I just can't eat anything and sometimes go for days on fruits and veggies. I know it's really weird, but I think I've become paranoid about people making comments behind my back..(My coaches told me that they would never tell me to my face..but the thing is I would WANT to know!!)

    Anyways, I'm just basically wondering how I can lose a few pounds PERMANENTLY and be able to eat junk sometimes without feeling guilty or like I'm putting the weight back on..

    Like I said before, I'm a figure skater, so I'm in training usually about 5-6 times a week for a few hours a day, but it never feels like I'm actually burning the amount of calories I want to, but my weight is just staying constant..

    Ugh I hate this.

    Thanks for the help :)
