  • Should I attend the company christmas party?

    I am a very shy person and don't really like group gatherings. They are having a christmas party at a restaurant for my work for employees and you can bring spouses or bf/gf. I'm single and have nobody to bring...am the only one that isn't bringing someone. They are doing a small gift exchange. The whole idea of this makes me really nervous, but I really like the people I work with and I never get out and have fun. Another problem is I work until 7 that night and it's supposed to be at 7. If I went I would probably have to go in my work uniform and show up a bit late if I even made it. If I ended up not being able to go would it be rude to send my gift along with somebody else? We are drawing names for the gift, so it would be rude not to get one even if something arose... Should I attend this party?

  • Should I switch my college major?

    I just started my second year at a community college-- actually it's technically my third. I started out there after HS working towards an AS degree in health information technology, but realized it was essentially worthless. Then that spring semester I started taking pre-requisite courses in order to get an AS nursing degree to become an RN, planning to eventually get a BSN someday. My mom and step-mom are both nurses, so that's how I got into that. I liked the anatomy and psychology courses, but then took a CNA course over the summer and hated it terribly. I don't like patient care enough to do it. So, the next fall (my second year) I started taking general ed classes, planning to eventually transfer to a 4-year university to get a BA in Accounting. At that point I was desperate to find something to go to school for, dependent on my parents (still am really), and quitting altogether wasn't an option. I took an accounting course in high school and sort of liked it. Plus I thought Accounting was a "stable, safe" field to get into. I took financial accounting last spring, and it went alright. I can't say that it was exciting or that I particularly enjoyed it much, but I got an A. Now, this fall (my 3rd year) I am still working on general eds for my AA degree to transfer, and am taking Managerial Accounting. I HATE Managerial. I spent 5 hours each trying to read the textbook and do the homework for the past two nights, and attended class today and I'm even more lost than before. I was literally crying last night with fear that I hate this subject. I'm worried because I've heard Intermediate is even worse and I'm not sure I'm cut out for this. Quite honestly, I just don't have a great desire for this, and it's depressing to put so much work into those courses when I find it so difficult and boring. The problem is I don't know what to major in, but I hate this. If I do switch, I might have to take another semester at CC...idk at this point. I'll be able to graduate with an AA degree in the spring regardless of if I drop accounting or not. I'm 20 years old and after switching my major so many times I'm starting to feel more than pathetic. But I'm really starting to wonder if I should try to pursue something that might not make me happy for the rest of my life. I'm starting to have disgusting amount of anxiety over this. Advice?

  • Having a severe mental breakdown please help?

    I am a 20 year old female. I live with my mom, go to college full time and work part time. I am still going to a community college this year since I'm behind as I've changed my major three times. I tried going for Nursing (my mom is a nurse) but couldn't handle the patient care and clinicals and I started having break downs almost everyday. I just don't like working with people that closely in that way. I'm doing Accounting right now, but honestly I don't even like it..at all. I've heard that Intermediate accounting class is the worst and that you have to get a Bachelors degree to even pursue a career which I know I cannot afford as I pay for school 100% myself and receive no aid whatsoever as parents make too much money. There is no 4 year school around me and I can't afford to move out on my own. The last two years of my life have been failure after failure after failure. Ever since I graduated from high school I'm having anxiety of epic proportions and am having a lot of trouble finding any reason why life is worth living at all.

    My only real friends are immediate family members. Just this week I started having these terrible anxiety-ridden thoughts of being alone, and never having a boyfriend, getting married. Having to be a loser living with my mom until I'm 30-something. My mom thinks I should quit school, but I think that would make it even worse as I would isolate myself.

    There is just nothing I'm interested in anymore. Even if I could come up with the funds to go away, I couldn't do it. I don't think it would be a good environment for me. I couldn't go live somewhere, where I don't know anybody. I don't do well around people too close to my age. It would probably send me over the edge. I just feel like I have no options and want to die.

    It seems like my life has just gotten so bad since high school and I really feel like I'm losing it. I don't even feel like myself anymore. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like my life is over. I don't want to leave the house, I don't want to go to school or work. I want to curl up in a ball on my bed, go to sleep, and never wake up. Seriously. I spend all day, everyday crying or trying not to cry. I go back to class on Monday and I'm absolutely dreading it.

  • Is living with parents at age 20 bad?

    I am 19 years old, almost 20. I am about to finish my 2nd year of college, but since I changed my major a couple of times and do to some other things, I'm about a year behind in school..getting a Bachelors in Accounting. So really, it's the end of my freshman year. I am living at home with my mom because the college I go to is in town and the college doesn't have on-campus housing...so if I moved out, I'd have to get an apartment. I do have a job, but it's barely enough to help with school. I only make like 600ish a month. I already have a hard time keeping up with my school work and working part time, I know I couldn't afford to move out right now and would be drowning.

    The problem is..people are starting to judge me and treat me weird because I'm almost 20 and still living at home. I go to school full-time. I don't pay rent, but I pay for all of my schooling 100% through my job, scholarship, and loans. Of course, I pay for everything else I need like clothes, gas, etc. I'm really apprehensive about turning a year older, and am DREADING my birthday in a month. I'm a bit of a "late bloomer" anyway, and honestly am not quite ready to leave anyway. Do I need to try to stop worrying about this and just go back to focusing on school? Am I being ridiculous?

  • Are sauteed mushrooms healthy, ok for diet?

    For dinner I sauteed two cups of raw sliced mushrooms with about half of a large yellow onion. I didn't use any butter, just some PAM cooking spray. I also had like 1.5 cups of fresh fruit (cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew). I wouldn't think that this would be a lot of calories, but I was starving before I ate and now I'm extremely full. Is this a lot more calories than I thought it would be? Is it healthy? Thanks in advance

  • Having a severe mental breakdown due to college?

    The last two years of my life have been failure after failure after failure. Ever since I graduated from high school. I'm having anxiety of epic proportions and am having a lot of trouble finding any reason why life is worth living at all.

    The first semester of college I was in an administrative office (secretary) program. Turns out, it was a terrible choice and worthless degree. Second semester I was taking nursing program prerequisites. I enjoyed them, but took a nurse's aide class over the summer, hated it, quit nursing alltogether and almost had a mental breakdown. I dont't think I'll ever like patient care...I just can't do it. I do have social anxiety which makes everything in life sort of unbearable. As a last ditch effort I entered a Health Information Tech program because I already had some of the other classes for it and had no idea what to do, but also quit that because it's terrible and all of the classes are online and it's just not a good thing for me. So...now I'm 11,000 in debt to the government because I was stupid and took out loans. I have a part-time job working in a kitchen making 8.50/hr. I still live with my mom. There is absolutely NOTHING I want to go to school for...that's the biggest problem.

    I can't afford to go away to college, and the closest 4 year to my home is 3 hours away so it's out of the question. I can't even afford another year of CC, which is what I need to continue because I'm so far behind. I maxed out my loans, parents make tons of money so I don't get any aid. They're in debt so they can't help out financially.

    I've always had anxiety issues. I've been able to manage it, but I'm still NOT good at making friends, horrible actually. I can perform well enough in a business environment to hold down a basic job and to get through daily interactions -- but still, it's exhausting and emotionally draining. My only real friends are immediate family members. Just this week I started having these terrible anxiety-ridden thoughts of being alone, and never having a boyfriend, getting married. Having to be a loser living with my mom until I'm 30-something. My mom thinks I should quit school, but I think that would make it even worse as I would isolate myself.

    There is just nothing I'm interested in anymore. Even if I start another program, what if I hate that too? I can't handle another failure. Even if I could come up with the funds to go away, I couldn't do it. I don't think it would be a good environment for me. I couldn't go live somewhere, where I don't know anybody.

There is absolutely NOTHING I want to go to school for...that's the biggest problem.

    I can't afford to go away to college, and the closest 4 year to my home is 3 hours away so it's out of the question. I can't even afford another year of CC, which is what I need to continue because I'm so far behind. I maxed out my loans, parents make tons of money so I don't get any aid. They're in debt so they can't help out financially.

    I've always had social anxiety issues. I've been able to manage it, but I'm still NOT good at making friends, horrible actually. I can perform well enough in a business environment to hold down a basic job and to get through daily interactions -- but still, it's exhausting and emotionally draining. My only real friends are immediate family members. Just this week I started having these terrible anxiety-ridden thoughts of being alone, and never having a boyfriend, getting married. Having to be a loser living with my mom until I'm 30-something.

    There is just nothing I'm interested in anymore. Even if I start another program, what if I hate that too? I can't handle another failure. Even if I could come up with the funds to go away, I couldn't do it. I don't think it would be a good environment for me. I couldn't go live somewhere, where I don't know anybody. I don't do well around people too close to my age. It would probably send me over the edge. I just feel like I have no options and want to die.

    It seems like my life has just gotten so bad since high school and I really feel like I'm losing it. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like my life is over. I don't want to leave the house, I don't want to go to school or work. I want to curl up in a ball on my bed, go to sleep, and never wake up.

  • Having a mental breakdown about college?

    This might get a bit long, but please I'm begging...read this. I need advice.

    I'm having really, really bad anxiety right now. It all started when I graduated from high school. My first semester of community college I did an administrative office program (dumb decision). Second semester I did pre-requisites for a Nursing program (which I really did like). Then over the summer I took a CNA class, hated it, and quit Nursing altogether. I cried for 2 days straight. Now I'm in a Health Information Tech program, but also quit that because it's terrible and all of the classes are online and it's just not a good thing for me. So...now I'm 11,000 in debt to the government because I was stupid and took out loans. I have a part-time job working in a kitchen making 8.50/hr. I still live with my mom.

  • What to use in place of a double boiler for melting almond bark?

    I am planning on melting almond bark for a couple of recipes this Christmas. The problem is I don't have a double-boiler, and don't want to go out and buy one. I've tried melting in the microwave before but it always gives me problems. Could I use a GLASS bowl on top a pot of boiling water? I don't want the glass to break. I've read that you can use metal (which I don't have), but can you use glass? Thanks
