| If you're taking the most challenging classes and still find schoolwork extremely easy, then good for you! Pursue your interests, extracurriculars, or something. For example, learn to program, learn to play an instrument, do art, spend more time socializing, learn to fly an airplane...whatever inter... |

| Not anymore. Once I tried to cut my own hair and it turned out to be a disaster. In the middle of it, I literally ran off to the barber and begged for help. Needless to say, it was embarrassing. "Why did you cut your own hair?" "Well, I thought I should at least give it a try." Thankfully, the barbe... |

| Poorly written opinion piece. I'm surprised it made the New York Times. The title and the points it conveys make it seem like more like an article from The Onion . Did I misread the article or was the author diagnosed by his mother? Hmm...no emotional bias on the diagnosis there... </sarcasm> |

| Oh. Then why are they changing it? Or does nobody know and that's what the fuss is about? Probably because of all the misdiagnoses and the criteria is too vague. It's sort of like the new ADHD... I predict that one day, doctors will check for neurological 'abnormalities' for things such as ADHD and... |

| I get the same thing. For me, the anxiety is just my struggles in getting myself out of bed, which is something I have to fight with myself about every morning. I don't anxious when I can just wake up and get out of bed, which is rarely. |

| Short guy here. My height is around the height of an average woman. It sucks. Short guys are able to blend in with the crowd. Tall people aren't. Men get it too, but are fortunate because it's more "socially acceptable" for men to be tall. I don't think Solvejg is talking about relationship problem... |

| The thing about those websites is that you have to be wary of people who gave bad reviews just because they got a bad grade. It's a good resource but take it with a grain of salt... Generally, the easy professors have the highest ratings. |

Where I went to school, we had a joke that the bookstore was for freshman and transfers. Everyone else bought used books from online. Some even pirated th... |

| I have upper-middle class friends who buy used books and then sell them back on after they use them. I buy used books just because I'm poor; I like the old book smell; I like the highlighting and notes other people wrote in it, and it feels used... There's something about "used" that feels magical..... |
