I am going to a large state university in the midwest. I don't travel out of town much, so I am thinking a moped or small motorcycle would be great. Getting to and from campus is within bicycle range, but I would rather have a vehicle for getting around town. My school has decent parking for mopeds - my main concern is the safety and usability under different weather conditions (eg: snow, ice, rain).

How do mopeds handle weather? Should I get a car just to handle the weather - or is that stupid if a moped makes sense in every other aspect?

Thanks

I am over the age of 18, but still under my parents medical insurance. I know with HIPAA, my doc cannot disclose any information with them. But what about the pharmacy and financial statements? In the past, even recently, I believe my parents could pick up my medication. How is this possible with HIPAA? Am I mistaken? (I cannot remember the exact date, but I may have been prescribed said medication before I was 18). Lastly - financial statements, what will they be able to see?

Recently I have started college and have been paying a lot of attention towards my productivity - before I nevere needed to pay attention to it. I have huge problems focusing a lot of the time, and I just feel slow and sluggish, maybe even a little anxious. Then seemingly out of nowhere - I will start to feel really good. I start thinking clear, and have a sudden burst of energy and motivation to finally work. These phases usually last a day or so. It doesn't cycle back and forth, but in a typical week, I have at least a couple of really sluggish completely unproductive days, and maybe 1 or 2 high energy days.

What could this be? I really want to just have normal focus all the time. I eat well, and exercise 4x per week. I get plenty of sleep too, but regardless my focus seems so shifty!

Hey guys, I have a few problems that have been bothering me lately and was wondering if you all had any idea on what could be the root. A little about myself: I am a student at a university, have had no history of psych. disorders or any problems other than chronic migraines that have actually gotten better the past few years.

This last year though I have been having crazy mood swings. It mainly effects my energy levels, confidence, sociability, and thoughts. Usually (as in the past 6 months or so), each month I have at least 2 or 3 episodes of high energy, and 3 or 4 episodes of low energy. The rest of the time I am somewhere in between, but the highs and lows can literally change in a heartbeat for no apparent reason.

When I am up, EVERYTHING seems interesting to me. I want to do it all. I don't sleep as much. I am much more outgoing and social, I go from someone who stays in his room all the time to someone who has to be working on something or talking to someone. Also in this phase - I am usually overly optimistic about everything. This phase typically last 2 or 3 days.

However, I have had even lower lows. I fall into what I think is pretty bad depression. Nothing matters to me, I just feel really hopeless like the world is out to get me, or it just doesn't even care about me. In this phase I often derive any energy from other people. I can not make any energy myself, and I lose all confidence. The problem with this is to get out of it (like I said people sometimes seem to help), but I really become extremely likely to not want to talk to anyone. Even if I do talk to them, I usually am so depressed that I don't hold a conversation and don't feel like talking. Because of these phases some of my relationships have been hurt, because in hindsight, I probably come off as a boring pessimistic loser.

So what could be the causes in these mood swings? They are seemingly random, I can't really recall events triggering every one of them, if any of them. But surely certain events have intensified them.

Sorry for the misleading title, it is just to get your attention. I just have a problem that nobody has been able to help with, and I really would appreciate it if you could read it and help me out!

Here's the story. I am a sophomore in college and I met this girl who I started to have feelings for about 8 months ago. At first we were just friends, but we quickly became better friends and I eventually started to have a huge crush on her. I had a gut feeling which told me she liked me back, but I didn't act on it because I am transferring schools. I didn't want to start anything and then have to leave, it would just be too hard on the both of us.

Then things got interesting. I was fighting my emotions. However, she started to "seem" to be coming on to me all of a sudden, and out of nowhere was talking about transferring as well. I basically didn't have to do anything except bring it up, that she should transfer too. She seemed to like the idea, but is not the type to make up her mind easily. Maybe I interpreted this wrong, but I thought she was drawn to the idea because I was transferring, and she didn't want me to leave, because I thought she might have had feelings for me as well.

So this was sort of my test, as horrible as it sounds, but I really didn't want a relationship that would end basically instantly. Here is where it gets even more interesting:

In the beginning of the year my roommate had a crush on her, he basically met her through me. I eventually tried to feel her out on this, and she made it quite clear that she didn't like him. NOW when I am going through all of this internal stuff and whether or not to talk to her about it, my roommate says he has started seeing her. Apparently now she likes him, and they have been hanging around eachother non stop.

I really don't know what I should do. I just feel like walking away from the whole thing because it is so screwed up and she is so unpredictable it would probably cause me only pain to bring it up with her or my roommate. On the other hand, I really liked her, as a person and as a friend, and my crush is more than just some temporary lustful crush.

So - if any of you have made it this far, I applaud you, and I am simply asking for your advice on what I should do. Remember - both my roommate and this girl are good friends of mine. Thanks!

I'm a 19 year old guy in college and during the first few weeks at school I met someone and instantly had a little crush on her. I am pretty sure at first she liked me too, but I was friends with her roommate, and eventually we started drifting away - but I was getting closer to my crush at the same time. After a few months we became really good friends. We basically spend every weekend together and with out mutual friends.

The thing is my feelings for her have gotten more intense - started off as a silly crush, but now I really do like her, and I know her as a friend as well. She is extremely hard to read - incredibly unpredictable, and has never been in a relationship before. However, I am fairly confident that she also may like me.

So there are two problems. Whenever we hang out - her roommate is always with. She is cool, but I don't like her like that. The horrible part is that I know her roommate has had a crush on me in the past. But my main problem is I just don't know how to tell her. I know I need to - but I don't know where I should do it or how I should word it to make it feel comfortable for her. I could get her away from her roommate alone, and find a private place where we could just talk, but I don't know if she would feel too pressured then. On the other hand it would feel really personal and romantic, if it goes well. Otherwise I could just do something in a less chessy way - like at a public place like a sports event just talking to her?

So how and where? I want her to feel comfortable. But we already have gone on late night walks together, and done that sort of thing, so should I just tell her then?

I'm in college, been friends with this girl for about 6 months or so. Over the past couple months I started to have feelings for her. I never tried to make any moves on her, because I didn't think it would work out for other reasons. I thought she liked me originally - just had a vibe. Anyways, recently something changed and we started talking about it. We hadn't been as good friends as we were initially, and I basically told her, "there is a reason for that but it would be better for us if you didn't know". I'm pretty sure she knew that I had a crush on her - and that I didn't want it to get between our friendship - which is true. But she didn't really have much of a reaction, she basically just said "I understand" - so does this means she doesn't have the same feelings for me because she didn't so after that?

Hey all,

Really lost on a few problems on my LA hw. Here they are, any explainations would be helpful!

Find bases for the subspace:

a.) The set of vectors of the form (a, 0, 0) is a subspace of R3 - find the bases of the subspace

b.) The set of vectors if the form (a, 3a, 2a) is a subspace of R3 - find the bases of the subspace

Thank you!

I did something really bad a while bad - well I supposed I was playing with something I shouldn't have been. I think deep down I was playing with her emotions and I just didn't know it. Anyways - here is the situation. I'm a guy in college who has known this girl for about 8 months. The last few months we started to get a lot closer, became much better friends and started texting eachother all of the time. I really started to like her.

One day I texted her "Can I ask you something". I guess that is a realy serious thing to ask someone, and I better have had a dang good reason to do so. However, I just wanted to see how she would respond. When she "yes" I then told her "nevermind it wasn't a big deal". This is when she got really mad - I should have known. I am guessing that she was expecting me to ask something serious - most likely about our relationship? Maybe I am wrong? But I know she kept asking me for the next 10 minutes to tell her and saying that I can't do that. I feel bad for doing it, but if I asked anyone else that question and I said nevermind they would probably just say 'no big deal' right?

So my questions(s) are:

1- Does this mean she probably likes me?

2 - Should I tell her I have feeling for her too, if things won't be able to work out? I am transferring out

at the end of the year and I don't want to cause more pain than joy and fulfillment.

Hey guys, been a while since I have done implicit differentiation, need some help! Steps would be helpful! Thank you!

y = 3x^2 + 5x + xy = 5

and y(5) = -19

find y'(5) with implicit differentiation.

I solved the hard part I just dont understand what I plug y(5) into! I am doing an online assignment and no matter what I plug in to it I get it wrong!

What I got for y' =

-[ (6x+5+y) / x ]

Which of the following subsets of R3×3 are subspaces of R3×3?

E. The symmetric 3×3 matrices

F. The diagonal 3×3 matrices

I am in college, and things are pretty hectic. Anyways I am a freshman guy and I have been hanging out with a girl since first semester (August). We have become pretty good friends, but mainly see eachother over weekends. Right from the start I had a little crush on her, and I am pretty sure she felt the same. I started to get more serious feelings for her recently, and I think she might have but it is hard to tell.

Basically I asked her if I could "ask her something", this was done through text. She quickly responded yes, but then I remembered one of her closest friends had a crush on me not too recently. If we did happen to start getting together more and spending time together, she is basically taking me from her bestfriend (who is also her roommate, now and planning on next year). I know I shouldn't take this other girls feelings in to consideration in the long run, but I freaked out because I forgot about it until I texted her this...

Anyway after asking her "can I ask you something" I had to say nevermind and of course she freaked out and was mad and tried everything to get it out of me!

So I have two questions,

--Because of how she responded when I didn't tell her, does that mean she has feelings for me and was expecting me to confess or bring up our relationship?

--What should I do about my friend/her best friend+roommate? She had a crush on me before and I know I would feel awful if my best friend /roommate started seeing the person I liked.

I was purchasing a domain name from someone for $200. We agreed to use PayPal. The terms were he would unlock and supply me with information/ do whatever to get me the domain name AFTER I paid him.

So I paid him, and he unlocked the domain. But for the transfer to complete he needed to respond to an email my hosting service sent (namecheap). Because as soon as a domain is unlocked, and I entered the EPP code that he gave me it needs to be verified. Basically he never did this last step, so I the transfer got cancelled. I don't know what I can do about it because I had a report/claim going and it got denied by Paypal for being "virtual goods" which are not covered by Paypal.

How do I find the following derivative?

f[ g(x)^2 - x^3 ]

I know I need to use chain rule but I am lost in this problem, its quite tricky.

Steps appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Im in my first year at college and I met someone really cool. We have basically been friends since we met and since I met her I have had a little crush on her. It wasn't until recently that I have had more serious feelings for her, and we have also been getting a lot closer in the past couple months. The problem is I tried to hide the fact that I had a little crush on her because I thought thats all it was - so we ended up becoming good friends. Now it is harder to let her know that I really have some kind of feelings for her because I don't want to lose our friendship.

I can't tell how she feels about me, I mean I know she really likes me, and there are some definite signs that she likes me for more than a friend, but she is extremely outgoing and flirty and seems this with with a lot of people though. At the same time, the best way to put it is, have a gut feeling that she feels the same way.

So what is the best way to test this? Should I just ask her? I think it could be awkward though either way. Should I just try to make a subtle move on her next time we are hanging out and see how she responds? What is the best way to do this without ruining our relationship?

I am a student and have had trouble focusing on just about anything. It has gotten really bad over the last 2 years (in college now). It has gotten to the point where a couple of times I even zoned out during a movie. Anyways, I won't get much into that, but I recently was given hyrdocodone/APAP for a surgery I went under. For the first week or so I was locked to the couch do to the pain but as soon as I could get back to studying I noticed my focus and outlook on my studies was AMAZING. I felt really good, even if I knew I had hours of studying ahead. This was only under the effect of the meds though, and I found after it wore off I was just as unfocused as always.

Now I still have some left from surgery, and I am not trying to abuse them, in fact 1/2 dose helps me focus without getting too out of it. But I am just concerned why I am even like this. I don't think it should do this, and after looking over the effects on most people it should be the opposite. Could it be that I have a deficiency of something which causes me to not be able to focus, only for it to be replenished by the meds?

So is this typical of opiates or is it uniquely effecting me because of something else?

Hey guys, I am a 19 year old male and over the past two or so years I started noticing some symptoms of a psych disorder. At first they were just kind of random, but now they are pretty serious, by that I mean they are interfering with my normal life somehow. Looking back now I have had a few things even as a kid that I didn't really notice until other things came up. For example:

As a kid and still now I need my hands need to always be cleaned. Before eating they must be sanitized with soap or rubbing alcohol. If my hands get dirty, especially if they are sticky I always wash them before doing anything. Also growing up, my memory has been extremely poor which causes me to lose things constantly. I lose my wallet often, I have had 3 drivers licenses, many cell phones gone missing. However, now it has almost turned in to an obsession to prevent myself from losing stuff and I have become very organized. My forgetfulness still exsists though and I am currently in college where I "study" almost 24/7 and still only get B's mainly because I can't focus...which brings me to my next problem which is my biggest one.

A couple of years ago I started getting obsessed over my eyebrows for no reason like they needed to be perfect and exactly the same (stupid right?). Well eventuall I basically pulled out all of my eyebrows. I immediately fixed this problem, but created a new one - instead of pulling them out I would just touch them. This was actually worse because now I do it all of the time and it is not only annoying but it zones me out. When I lose focus of what I am doing (usually homework) and my mind just wanders aimlessly, but at the same time I can feel the weird texture of my eyebrows. It is really bad and my professors noticed that I am constantly doing it in class. The worst part about it is when I am doing it I just can't focus. If I had to estimate, I could do homework probably twice as fast if I was not touching my eyebrows and therefore zoning out constantly. I really dont know what to do about it, I tried sitting on my hands, but the only thing that seems to work is if I am drawing something.

There are some other small symtoms, but my memory/focus is a huge deal to me and it's really messing my school life/grades up. And the whole touching eyebrows/zoning out thing is just weird and extremely unproductive.

Any ideas on what it could be or how I could stop doing it would be really appreciated!

Any help would be great, steps/explainations appreciated!

I live on campus, and my room mate is a drunk. He goes out 4 days a week or so, coming back completely drunk. When he isn't drunk, he is high, basically all day. Now, I don't have a problem with either of those facts. But the problem is, when he is drunk, he is ridiculous. He leaves everything a mess, he comes home really late and will constantly try to talk to me ( Think 2AM he comes back - and spits his drunken stories at me, slurring all his words. I usually try to just ignore him, but I usually waste a couple hours a week listening to his retarded stories. I try to completely ignore him, but it is impossible. Other times he will decide to watch TV when he gets back, when its 2AM and I am trying to sleep. We are in a small shared room, so it is pretty annoying. Honestly I probably sound really stuck up like I should just deal with it, but I have, every day of the week, and it is getting extremely old. He's just a waste of my time, his grades are suffering, he won't be here next year, but I really don't care. What he does, is what he does, but when it effects me in a negative way every day I feel like I shouldn't have to deal with it.

Am I right on this? What should I do? It is his life, I am not going to tell him not to go out, not to smoke or drink, because that is his call. But I really just want him to be considerate. Opinions?
