| This is something for a specialist to answer. The Internet will only increase your existing hypochondriac behavior. |

| I agree with the camera thing. Take so many photos that you don't have time to be worried about anything else. But I don't agree with the "no time to be awkward" thing. I went to China for 2 weeks and I was pretty miserable because everyone else seemed to be having the time of their life, and all I... |

| Please protect your hearing. I'm a music major and wear Etymotic Research earplugs. They're GREAT and don't give that "stuffy head" feel that other earplugs do, because they're designed with musicians in mind. You can order a pair for (I think) US $25 from their website: http://www.etymotic.com/hp/e... |

| I'm going to be honest... I think Spirit Day is (was) pretty exclusionary. It was marketed as being exclusively in support of bullied LGBT youth. Newsflash: there are millions of people that get bullied every day, and a good chunk of them are not LGBT. Let's stop bullying everywhere, not just in one... |

| You're at school for one purpose: to get an education. Everything else has to be secondary in your mind... yes, a less-than-ideal roommate can be annoying and distracting, but reminding her that you are trying to actually do well in school will probably work in at least some situations. |

Once? LOL, there's a reason I'm a music major in college. I can't even calculate a tip in my head.
I have no idea how I made it through high school math, but I'm sure glad I don't have to do any of that anymore. |

| I'm in my third year of university. One tip: Go get coffee! This is the #1 way in my experience to just sit down and talk with someone about whatever, without being pressured into anything super organized. Find a local coffee shop with good reviews, order a good beverage, find a comfy table, and jus... |

| I don't go to college parties. However, I go to (probably louder) dance music concerts. I don't stand in the front rows, because that's where all the insane drunks are. I prefer to get a spot in the middle of the floor or in the balcony. I tend to go with up to 10 of my friends that go to concerts..... |
