  • I can't find it in myself to care or motivate myself.?

    I'm graduating from college soon and I'm working on finishing up a portfolio and demo reel. I have quite a bit of work to finish and I know that I should be giving it my all but I just can't find it in myself. I don't panic, I don't worry, I don't care. There will be moments when it does hit me and I can feel myself start to panic, but they are easily washed away but the uncaring laziness that follows.

    Maybe I'm just procrastinating and maybe I'm just lazy, but I try and rally + motivate myself but it doesn't work. I'm just tired and done and I want it to be over.

    Am I lazy or depressed or how can I kick myself into gear?

  • Am I racist if I'm nervous/grossed out to eat/try the food my Indian friend's family prepares?

    I've been friends with her for nearly 10 years now and I'm very close to her family. Often, when I'm visiting they will ask if I've eaten lunch or dinner and offer to make a plate for me. I feel horrible but my gut reaction is usually not wanting to. Her parents are very ethnic and make a lot of strange foods and use a lot of spices that I am relatively unwilling to try. A lot of their prepared dishes they cover up and leave on the counter as opposed to putting in the fridge.

    I know I can just accept whatever is offered to me, but I can't bring myself to try or eat it. Am I racist or just picky?

  • I twisted my ankle and a few days later, bruising appeared above my toes. What is wrong?

    I thought I might have sprained it but a few days later, it was fine to walk on. It only hurts a little.

    My foot however, is slightly swollen and had two bruises on either side of the ankle that have faded. However, bruising above the toes appeared at the same time those bruises had.

    I'd assumed that it was because I had been wearing sandals when I fell but the bruises do not hurt.

    My mom says I might have broken toes but again, I can bend my toes around.

    I'm getting nervous and have decided with my mom that if the bruises (I'm calling them) do not go away by Friday, we'll go get an x-ray.

    I was hoping however, anyone could give me some peace of mind. Even knowing a little clue as to what it might be would relieve me.

  • A nice guy likes me but I have no feelings for him other than friendship.?

    So I'm 21 and I have never dated.

    This guy who I talk with has mentioned to a friend of mine that he's thinking of asking me out. While we have amazingly similar interests and have fun together, I am in no way attracted to him.

    Again, I've never dated and I'm thinking of giving it a chance just to experience this but I don't want to string him along. The thought of him asking me out fills me with dread.

    My friend urges me to give him a chance but I don't think I can. My mother would be so ecstatic to learn that I might go on my first date, but I don't want pleasing other people to be the reason why I choose to date.

    I want to find someone I like and who likes me back.

    If you were in my spot, what would you do/ what do you think I should do?

  • Financial Aid Appeal Question?

    I'm so terrified.

    I had done horribly last semester and I came in to this semester with a drive and such to do well and stop being so lazy.

    Until I found out that my Financial Aid has been stopped and that I need to write a letter.

    I have no other excuse except that I made poor desicions and was lazy. And I KNOW they won't accept a letter in which I explain the truth. I know that if they gave me another chance that I would do well and work my hardest but I'm sure they won't.

    They want real excuses, not laziness. If I don't get my Financial Aid back, I won't be able to attend college. I'm so scare right now, its killing me and I just want to curl up and die.

    How can I write a letter and explain the truth and not have to lie. Its not in me to lie.

  • Bad Laptop Connection When Main PC is On?

    The main PC is hooked up to the modem and when I'm playing on my laptop, the connection is horrible. (I play MMOs and such) But when I turn off the main PC that is hooked up to the modem, my connection to games is great!

    What can I do to improve my connection and not have to turn off the other PC every time? Other people in this household use that PC and get angry with me when I turn it off.
