My advice would be to ask your neighbors man. Shame is better than starvation.
Hey /adv/
I like politics. I want to write about politics and I have a LOT of great ideas and perspectives of what to write about. But I am so scatterbrained that I have no idea how to begin. I feel like I will lose interest in what I am writing and leave it unfinished.
I feel so distracted to start. My notes are either written down, typed in random word documents, or on my notepad app on my phone. I feel so overwhelmed to even begin.
Any suggestions? I've usually written like research for school, not open-ended stuff.
You need outlines, structure, a skeleton of an article, then fill in the meat. If you can't do that then you have no business writing.

>outlines
Figured as such, probably the way I want to go. But I'm the type of writer that shotguns things out. I don't want to do it from that approach anymore.

People have to be able to follow what you're writing about.
How do I stop worrying about wrinkles?
I'm an 18 y/o girl and even though my face is still baby smooth and soft, I keep analyzing every line every time I look in the mirror. I can see a very faint line on my forehead and some under my eyes, maybe some on my nose but they're very minimal and I've seen much worse at my age. I moisturise and take care of my face, and my parents look 10 years younger than they are so I should be fine and not worry but I can't stop.
I know the lines I have now, however minimal, will get worse over time as last year...

Just protect your head from UV lights and you're fine.
Like don't avoid the sun or anything just put some sun protector on your face if you want to overkill it but then that's that.
You will get small lines etc. but only you notice these. Us guys don't sit with a microscope on your forhead.
Real love is not about the physical. Being flawless actually makes it harder for you to find real love, because the ones who will try the hardest for you are the ones who know the least about love.
We all age. We all die. Try to find something more meaningful to think about in the time up until then besides fucking wrinkles.
I waited until the last minute and I now have 7 hours left to apply for scholarships for college. Each scholarship requires a 1,000 word essay on why I deserve it and sometimes other things like leadership experience. Any tips for writing a good all-around essay that I could submit for every scholarship?

Honestly just don't even bother with college. You're going to do very poorly. It's the brutal truth. Don't waste your parents money on something you can't put your full amount of attention and effort into. I know I sound like a dick to you but it's just reality.
My nephew applied to colleges months ago. Got accepted into some Engineering school at one of the top Universities in the state, on top of like every other school he applied to, because he's on top of everything and very focused. He doesn't bullshit.

I'm already in college, I'm applying for scholarships for the upcoming semester.
Do dark circles ever go away? Will people be telling me I look tired for the rest of my life?
They make creams for that. Genucel for example. There's probably natural methods too.
You can try makeup if it bothers you that bad, but in a word, no.
Doesn't really matter that much though. Look people in the eye more and you'll see most people have them.
bags and puffiness, yes. there are creams that can reduce their appearance. drinking water and regulating your sleep helps as well. actual dark circles, as far as i know, can't go away. mine are dark as hell and the only solution i've found was getting a corrector for my undereye area which makes them practically vanish.
Want her back. Don't know what to say to this.
You've yet to reply since you posted this a week ago. Why not keep up the streak?
Tell her you love her and ask her why she feels like a break up is the only option. If she gets distant by that then she's not worth it and you should move on. If she is receptive then probe more so you can better understand what's going on with her.
>>16858703
Yeah I just don't know what to say.
Maybe this situation is common, but here I go.
3 years ago I made a few friends at some place, one of which is this girl. We always used to hang out, I find her pretty funny, has a good sense of humor and she's a real good listener. You could say she's a pretty good buddy. But that's about it. Let's say that I just want to be friends with her. I make it abundantly clear to her and any of our mutual friends.
She always seems pretty agreeable on the subject, acts as if people are just spouting nonsense. Truth is one of her friends who happens...

Be honest.
Literally straight up draw the line. That's the beginning and end of it. Be sensitive to her feelings, but be foreword.
Looks like teenage drama, how old are you?
>>16858683
The problem is that I already tried that.
Told her several times that I didn't find her attractive, that I was more into other girls. Told most people too, including her sister.
Not only that, I kinda went a bit rough with it. I told her about most flaws that I find in her that keep me from being attracted to her. Always as calm and rational as possible, and always feeling like shit because I still worry about how she feels. She's much more successful at finding other guys than I will ever...

Econ freshman here. I go to uni 4 days in a week and I don't do much in other 3 days. I dont go out much, other than hanging around with people after lectures. I don't have a part time job. I don't have girl friend. I don't have a hobby that takes my time or any other sources. I don't do much. But I do a lot of useless shit.
Out of guilt I have started to study and finished the every subject of 6 of my courses (I have 8 courses but other 2 doesn't have textbooks or notes etc) in last 1.5 month. I'm like since I cant socialise and don't...

Go kick his ass you fucking cuck.
>>16858658
Believe me, I want to. I wish I could punch his smug ass face but I know that would make things worse for her.

a) tell her she's stupid for allowing him to hurt her
b) >>16858658
c) talk to her boss
Not getting the right answer. Answer is supposedly pi/4(5rad5-1). Can anyone help?
>>16858644
btw this is off the top of my head: volume of revolution. idk if that's what's being asked but it appears that way.
find inverse bc v of revolution is for x-axis
x=9-y^2
y = -sqrt(x-9)
integrate with set limits as: pi x (y)^2 = 17pi/2
idk if this is what you're looking for but it's my way of answering that question
>>16858738
To solve for y, would it not just be x=sqrt9-y? and sorry, it was to find surface area.
>>16858766
just integrate y=9-x^2 lol
Where's a reliable place to buy an essay? Really don't feel like writing this research paper. Nothing crazy, just 5 pages but I just don't want to do it.
If you can't be bothered to write 5 pages of researched content, you're not gonna make it.
Five pages? Come on, man. When I was in college, I could research and write that in three hours and still get an A. I did, in fact, on several occasions.
>5 pages
Come on man, if that's really that big of a deal (worth spending MONEY for) then just drop out of college.
I could write up a fucking 5 page essay stoned off my ass.
Hi /adv/
I've fallen in love with a good female friend of mine 2 months ago.
I know I should just tell her, and I probably will, but I'm less worried about rejection than our friendship afterwards.
Can some of you who did this tell me how their friendship went afterwards?
Your friendship is over either way. You're hurting yourself if you let it continue if she doesn't love you back. Best to find out now
>>16858602
its never truly salvaged if ur 'in love'. if you had a little crush you could maybe slide back, but even then its weird.
ur expecting someone to act like nothing ever happened after you admit strong feelings for her. if there isnt any feelings returned, thats awful awkward.
>>16858946
>>16858940
So you suggest I shouldn't say anything?
I've known her for over 1 1/2 years, and I really don't want to lose this friendship.
What kind of skills are appreciated in someone who works at a book store or any quaint little shop?
I'm a soon-to-be ex-NEET who's applying to one of those for his first job at 25. I've got decent people skills and I enjoy reading and being around books, but it feels like that's not enough for my motivation letter to convince them. My age, lack of experience and the fact that I'm (currently) a highschool dropout screw me over already, so I really need to make a good first impression. I'm pretty sure I'm able to do this, but I just need...

Bump.
Come on, guys. It's not girl advice for once.
>>16859341
Bump again.
>>16858588
I think they like to know if you can organize things. And if its a business, they probably want you to be like, sort of friendly. I don't think there's exactly a lot of qualifications. I would just say be confident about your understanding of what someone might be able to need to know in order to be competent, nay proficient, at sweeping aisles and making sure all the books are where they belong doesn't require you to be able to do more than count to 100, alphabetize, and learn how to clean.
hi /adv/
What's the easiest way to find persons personal info ( I'm interested in last name and her facebook ). I am having a nice connection with this girl I met online. I know her name, where she lives, her age, I have her phone number ( we call eachother a lot ), but I don't know her last name and facebook page and I really wanna know cause it's bugging me that she knows all my personal info and I don't know hers. Can anyone here help me?
pic related, it's the girl I'm talking about.
>>16858579
google image search. plus she either actually knows you and or had a look at your basic info on FB
>>16858590
Google image search gives me nothing. Yeah I know she's been viewing my fb profile, I told her my name to find me and add me, she was going through my photo gallery and told me which pics were her favourites, but she wouldn't add me and she tells me she won't until we meet in real life, that's bugging me cause I don't feel like waiting 2 weeks ( we set up a date ). All I need is her last name, but I'm out of ideas.
>>16858599
Sounds like you should wait. Since that's what she wants.
