tl;dr: This girl expects things from me she doesn't fulfill herself.
This girl I've been dating for two weeks now seems to be overly jelous or at least has double standards (maybe she's just inexperienced or childish).
Two days after we had our 1st date her father passed away. Now I tried to be there for her and give her full emotional support, but she seemes to block it and told me that she just needs time and also time for her to open up.
We got to know each other from a german version of tinder and apparently she knew me (or at least saw...

Don't call her, wait for her to call you, call her out on her bullshit and if she still bitches dump her and leave.

Sweden (preferably northern) or Cayman islands/Bahamas?
Extra info: I'm a med student
Did you (a 26-year-old) come on here (a site for teenagers) to ask for advice about whether you (presumably an American?) should pursue a medical career in northern Sweden or in the Bahamas?
>>16898698
Two very different choices. Why those two? There are lots of places in the world.
>>16898705
Not everyone is a teenager here. Quite a few older posters are lurking as well.
>>16898712
It's still an insanely specific question that very few people would be equipped to answer. Even /adv/'s resident weird older guys.
Does anyone have experience with Couch Surfing? What about Couchsurfing in your own city/state, to meet new people? Is this allowed? I'm just looking for new ways to meet people around me. I understand this is usually for travelers... but I am attempting to think outside of the box.
Any advice is appreciated.
There is usually a CouchSurfing group in most major towns and cities that meet up once every week/fortnight/month, etc.
This sort of meetup is easy to go to, as not everyone attends every time, and travellers come and go, so there's always a different crowd. It is a good way to get to know local people that are friendly.

Thank you!
Someone messaged the Facebook group for my school newspaper. It was a high schooler, and she was asking about how she can get into the newsroom as a college freshman.
I was drunk as fuck last night and thought I was on my own personal account, so I replied, "Fuck off, loser."
How do I fix this?
>>16898653
Fix an extreme with an extreme.

What does that even mean, Mr. Miyagi?
>>16898660
Rape her.
/adv/, I've been going through a dry spell, a severe one of a couple *years*, partly as a result of life-upheaval and several moves. Finally got my feet under me again and I have lived in the Bay Area for about a year. Problem is, I haven't found love, haven't even gotten laid, and I haven't even made much of an effort to.
I've had a couple OKC dates, but I wasn't feeling it with anybody. I had a crush or two at work, but the old "don't shit where you eat" advice squashed those in the bud. I feel like I've forgotten how...

follow up on the work thing. where the fuck else are you gonna meet women and not be a pervert?
Got any hobbies where you might meet people of the opposite gender?
Friends of friends?
Friends of family?
>>16898723
Yeah, maybe. They're all too young for me there, though. My real crush has a fake ID, which stopped me dead in my tracks.
>>16898727
I do Pilates, which you'd think might be a good place to meet women, and there are plenty of hot fit women there (my age, too) but little conversation, and it feels sort of wrong to hit on people there.
I think it's not so much lack of ideas where to meet people as it is lack of motivation. It's...

Besides school and work? What is a common activity that they do? I go to the gym and shit and everyone just pumps. Well what I really want to know is what everyone does at night? To be more general, what do people do on their phones? Texting? I like big groups of people my age, specifically things like festivals, but I can't always dish out the cash. Where do people gather in big groups?
Can't fool me alien. I won't help you invade our earth.

Are you lazy? Do you procrastinate? Do you genuinely find the work difficult?

When I do certain assignments I hear a voice in my head telling me none of this matters and then I have a breakdown and need to wait a few hours before finishing the work
About 2 months ago I broke up with my girlfreind. About a week later she attempted suicide. I told her sister and her friend and they went to her appt to make sure she was okay. I then went to her appartment later to talk to her and she said she would just keep on trying unless I was with her. So I told her I would give her another chance and we've been dating again since. I don't really want to be with her though.
Right now she's trying to go to counciling but the wait is so long there's really no hope for that. Her family and friends also won't...

Leave her. You already did the riggt thing to do by contacting her family. You owe her nothing.
It's not your burden to bare put her in a hospital for suicide watch. Also consider a restraining order.
>I went to her apartment later to talk to her
That's where you fucked u p. She isn't your responsibility. Call her family again, tell them what's up, tell them what she said, and tell them the time you're going to dump her ass so they can be there for h era when you leave.
You owe her nothing more than that. She is manipulating you.
How do I know if I'm drinking too much?
I drink maybe something like 4 pints of beer every weekend. Is that considered "too much"?
I guess I have high blood pressure, and apparently drinking can cause high blood pressure if one drinks in "excess", but is 4 pints a weekend excessive?
I figure I should cut back either way, but what would be a more socially acceptable amount of drinking?
I'd entertain the idea of just being sober for a while but I really look forward to drinking after wage-cucking all week. What do senpai
>>16898464
>4 pints
No.
Just no, dude. 4 pints isn't shit. If we were out drinking at the bar I'd probably ridicule you for only drinking 4 pints.
>yes i'm from burgerland
>yes i know we're talking about imperial pints. 19.something fluid oz
>>16898464
>How do I know if I'm drinking too much?
Well if you dizzy, can't control yourself or flat out throwing up
I don't drink but you got the idea!
>>16898464
> 4 pints of beer every weekend. Is that considered "too much"?
Lol. I got hammered with about 10-15+ on my nights out with friends. THAT'S too much. 4 is fine.
My sister physically attacked me and a day after I am in a lot of physical pain when I move. I want to know what are the pros and cons of reporting this to the police.
First off, I am a girl, I live in Victoria Australia and she is younger, I know what you'll say, beta as fuck right?. Why didn't you defend yourself? The honest reason why was because her attacks didn't actually hurt that much at first, she had a bottle of hairspray and she was hitting me with it but my thinking was 'I really don't want this to get worse, I will just weather this. I don't want to push her back because she might hit her head on the treadmill'. Then she shoved me really hard against the wall and I heard something in my chest pop/snap. The kind of noise you hear when you pull gristle off a cooked piece of meat. I don't know what's happened but I'm in pain when stationary and if I try to lift my arm the pain radiates from the centre of my chest to the top of my shoulder, on a scale of 1-10 I would say it ranks around 8. Generally moving and breathing is aggravating.
All this was caused by her thinking I said something negative to my mum about her and she flipped (I didn't she misheard). My parents are indifferent about this and I am moving out in 3 months. I just feel this is really wrong and I know it will cause my family anxiety if I file a report but I feel really angry that nothing will happen. I think whatever has happened in my chest is probably not going away for a while since I think it might be muscle related. I have taken photos of the bruising on my arms as it progresses. I am bothered that I am going to be in pain and no one really gives a shit and my sister isn't going to be held accountable.
Basically, I know I am being petty but at least I want to know the pros and cons of going to the police, I have never done anything like this before. Will it damage her career prospects? I just want justice, not to do anything overboard.
How old are you two?
Do you have visible injuries?
>>16898411
I do, bruising on my arm she is 21 I am 23. The bruising isn't the problem. It's the constant pain in my chest.
>>16898528
You probably tore a muscle or broke a rib. Go to a doctor. Since she's not underage, she will be charged if you call the police on her.
Background: Taking intro to stats course online (weren't any other options and I've done well with only math courses before), this is my final year of college once im done with this semester im only taking one other class this summer. I have good grades and i've done very well in this course for the last three months
Heres how I FUCKED up: I go to read my emails this morning and find that my stats course has not posted my final mid term grades (not extremely out of the ordinary but strange). I go to check my grades online and nothings posted, only grades...

What does that mean?

your life is over op
might as well kill yourself now
>>16898387
you should have a record of your grades somewhere. If you were getting grades and knew your grades throughout your course, contact the proctering service or your professor and explain your situation. If you have a copy of your grades (if they were posted online, there is a copy somewhere) you should be okay.
tl:dr: Contact prof, contact proctering service. If you did them and turned them in and got a grade for them, they have a record. You just have to set that shit up.
I am positive you are not...

how i do i use this? is it like a face mask? leave it on for 15 min and wash off?
>>16898386
>body scrub
Do not use that shit on your face. It's a scrub, meaning it's an abrasive exfoliant. When you've soaked your skin in a bath or shower, rub it gently on your skin to remove excess particles. Don't scrape too hard because you could hurt yourself and bleed, depending on how large the granules are.
>>16898393
i know about the face part but do i wash it off right away or let it sit for a min
>>16898424
You use it to scrub, so no, you don't have to let it sit. It will likely dissolve in the water by the time you've let it sit and won't work. Can't you just google how a body scrub works?
Hello /adv/
I'm going to need to create a resume for some construction or labor jobs and I'm at a loss for things I could or should include in it. It's going to be handed out from an agency so I don't know exactly where it will end up so it's kind of unsettling and I really don't want to create some lols worthy thing that's going to be passed around. I don't know it just doesn't feel all that great and i'm not looking forward to it.

hey guys, how can i take a small nap without fucking oversleeping and ending up missing everything i have to do?
can't wake up at all, alarm clock doesn't wake me up. live alone. must not oversleep
>>16898349
You have to invest in multiple alarms. They make deafeningly loud ones for the world's heaviest sleepers. Invest in two or three, and space them several feet apart so you have to get up to turn all of them off.
>>16898353
i either don't care and sleep until they turn off, or stand up, turn them off, and go back to sleep inconsciously
now i got only my phone, but really gotta take a nap. :c
