  • How do you meet people in college?

    This sounds like a stupid question, and I feel really dumb for asking it, but I'm kind of having a lot of trouble with this.

    I am a transfer student at my school (which I think is part of the problem tbh), I just started my first semester at my new school. I'm kind of in between my sophomore and junior year. I live off campus (another problem). We had orientation groups, and I felt like I was kind of making friends with them, but then classes started and don't have any classes with them, or when they want to do something I am in class. I see them around, but never for long enough to talk to them.

    I try and talk to people in my classes and make new friends that way, but since they are all sophomore and junior level classes everyone already has their established friend groups. I went to a few club meetings but it felt the same way, I didn't really fit in because everyone already new eachother. I tried joining a fraternity during rush week, and I guess they didn't want me or something. It's getting to the point where I don't even want to try anymore and I don't know what to do to meet people?

  • Can you help with this algebra problem?

    It gives the equation 3(x+y)=y and asks, if (x,y) is a solution to the equation above and y cannot = 0, what is the ratio x/y?

    It gives the options:

    A.-(4/3)

    B.-(2/3)

    C. (1/3)

    D. (2/3)

    I have tried solving for both x and y, and I just keep getting 0=0, and I have tried plugging in all of the answer options. I have gotten both of options A and B to satisfy the equation, but I don t know which is actually correct.

  • I need help thinking of a writing topic?

    I am taking the one and only writing class I need for my degree this semester. Writing has always been hard for me. I just don't know what to write about. We have to write a set of instructions. Which I know doesn't seem hard, but it has to be 1000 words or more, and I can't think of anything that I could write instructions for that will end up being 1000 words. Any suggestions?

  • Can you wear brown and grey together?

    I am going to an event tomorrow, it's super casual, but something I still want to look nice for. I was planning on wearing a black and grey collared shirt, with dark jeans and brown shoes. Would the shoes look OK with the rest of the outfit, or should I just wear black shoes?

    Is my answer to this differential equation correct?

    I solved this differential equation, got my general solution, plugged in my initial condition to find the particular solution, checked the back of the book to see if I was correct, and they have a completely different answer. I went and talked to a tutor to see if they could help me, and they just told me I was correct, they didn't even look over my work.

    Anyways here is the differential equation:

    y(1+x^2)dy/dx = x(1+y^2)

    I seperated the variables,

    ydy/(1+y^2) = xdx/(1+x^2)

    then I integrated,

    (1/2)(ln|1+y^2|) = (1/2)((ln|1+x^2|) + C)

    then I multiplied everything by 2 to cancel out the 1/2,

    ln|1+y^2| = ln|1+x^2| + C

    And this is where I think my math differs from the book, here I canceled out the natural log by doing the base e thing,

    1+y^2 = 1+x^2 + e^C

    Because e^C is just another constant I replaced it with C1,

    1+y^2 = 1+x^2 + C1

    And now I plugged in my initial condition, (0,sqrt3),

    1 + 3 = 1 + 0 + C1

    So I end up with C = 3, giving me a particular solution of y^2 = x^2 + 3, however their particular solution is y^2 = 3+4x^2. I'll attach a screenshot of their work as well. But is my solution correct as well, or can there only be one particular solution? I plan on asking my professor tomorrow morning, but it is just driving me nuts right now!

  • Are older dogs usually aggressive towards puppies?

    I had 2 boxers. Unfortunately one passed early 2015. I still have the other, he is about 5 now. I think I am ready to get another dog, so the boxer I have now has a buddy. A few weeks ago I was going to adopt a dog that was 2.5 years old because the family wasn't going to be able to keep him. We decided to have them meet at the park before bringing him into my home. However my dog was really aggressive, to the point where I decided it wasn't a good idea to bring the other dog into my home. If I bring in a puppy, do you think my dog will be less aggressive?

  • Should I cut down my availability at work?

    I work in retail, and go to school. Last semester I took 17 credits and worked 20-30 hours a week, and well I was a little stressed. I am taking 17 again this semester, but 2 of my classes are online this semester so I feel like the workload is going to be less. I was thinking of taking Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays off, but I really like the money and I like having the hours and the paycheck. I did well in school, I had 2 B's and 3 A's, and it's not really an option to take less credits because I want to get my degree as soon as possible. I don't know, should I cut my availability back?

    I know no one can really answer this question for me, but I am just looking for someone else's opinion, I have asked my parents several times and they just keep telling me it's up to me. I know I ultimately need to make the decision, but I just want someone else's opinion.

  • Should I just cancel my order?

    I ordered a hoodie from amazon on December 1st. It was supposed to arrive the 18th, it hadn't even shipped, so I emailed the seller, they said it would ship out the next day and they would upgrade me to priority shipping and refund my initial shipping costs. So I waited, and it still has not shipped out today. I am getting frustrated. I want the hoodie, but I am wondering, do you think I should cancel the order and find one somewhere else?

  • How do people pay for university?

    I am in my first year of college, however I decided to study my first two years at a community college to get my general education requirements out of the way and ultimately cut the cost of my whole education in half. I am starting to look into where I would like to go when I transfer. However, the costs are insanely high. I have been using their tuition calculators on their websites, and it says I only qualify for a fraction of the entire cost in financial aid, and then it says I should be paying $20,000 out of pocket. I don't have that kind of money laying around! How do people pay for that?! Is there some secret loan that I am missing?

  • I think I am taking too many classes?

    This is my first semester of college and I think I made the mistake of taking 18 credits while working as well. I thought it wouldn't be bad, but now that the first week is over I am rethinking that. I want to drop my technical writing class. It's the only english class I will need for my transfer program, but from what the teacher has told us on the first day of class it's going to be a lot of work on top of my calculus, chemistry, economics, and physical education class. I don't know how to talk to my parents about it. I want to tell them I want to drop the class, but I feel like they will be disappointed in me because all through high school I took a full schedule of advanced classes and never had any problems.

  • I feel guilty for something that happened at work, was I wrong to do this?

    I work at a retail store. We have a rewards program that sends out a $10 coupon when you buy so much stuff. A customer came in today with their coupon, I scanned it into the register, and it said the coupon was invalid. I feel bad because they couldn't use it, it wasn't expired or anything. I feel like I should have called my manager over to see if he could do anything, but I just told her she couldn't use it because the computer wasn't taking it. Was I wrong to do this?

  • How can I get my sleep schedule back on track?

    School starts in a week. All summer long I have had a pretty terrible sleep schedule. I stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning, then sleep until 12 or 1 in the afternoon. I have tried to go to bed earlier, but I am just not tired until 3 or 4 anymore. This is my first semester of college so I really want to try and be on time to all my classes. How can I get my sleep schedule back on track? I'm not really a morning person. I have tried setting an alarm across the room and all that, but I just turn it off and end up falling back asleep.

  • How essential is a laptop in college?

    I'm going to be starting my first year of college next month. I have always heard that you NEED a laptop for college. Is it true? I won't be living in the dorms, and will be commuting 20-30 minutes to school, but I have a desktop at home and an iPad that I can take to and from school. Should I invest in a cheap small laptop that I can just do basic internet browsing and word processing with, or will the desktop and an iPad be fine?

  • I still haven't been awarded financial aid?

    School starts a month from today. It will technically be my first year of college. I applied for financial aid, filled out the FAFSA and all that good stuff. They gave me some estimate, I can't quite remember the figure they estimated. The financial aid office then told me I would be awarded by mid June at the latest. I wasn't and contacted them, they told me I had a few verification forms I had to fill out, I did. I still have not been awarded. I have contacted the financial aid office 2 times over the past 2 weeks and they have not responded. My mom and my brother both used the same exact information, my brother's FAFSA was probably identical to mine, but they were awarded in May. What should I do about this? I can't afford to go to school without financial aid, I am kind of panicking.
