Ask urself what u want with life. Then answer ur own question. Waiting a year before going to college may sound embarrassing but if its going to get u into a better place in life later on then why not?

Go to community college. I would recommend that for anyone; even if they didn't fuck up. You'll save money and you'll carry a great GPA if you aren't an idiot.

Then apply to the best school in your state. It's almost guaranteed you'll get in because you'll be a "nontraditional" student and they have to mix shit up.

I dropped out of high school. Got a GED. Went to community college for three years because I'm terrible at math. Then I transferred into UCLA. Now I can include Bachelor's Degree from UCLA on my resume and skip all the other bits because no one cares.

What if you fucked up your CC GPA? Any way of helping that?

Be a civilized person and be faithful?

>fuck other dudes
>stay with boyfriend

Pick one, neanderthal.

>>16950723
>but I don't really wanna break up with my bf.
Pick.

Stay with your boyfriend, and be happy, or break up.

You generally want to look for a product with "professional" in its name and with carbamide peroxide as the primary active ingredient. Stick to ones with trays and gel, not strips.

Before you take that step, however, please do two things. The first is to go to the store and buy something labeled "anti-plaque rinse." Plax is a common brand for this stuff but the off-brands work just great too. The ingredient you're looking for is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). These rinses are basically detergents that you swish around your mouth for 30-60 seconds before brushing in order to loosen up plaque/calculus. Use this stuff religiously at least twice a day right before brushing. It doesn't sting like mouthwash so swish it for as long as your patience allows. Do this for at least a few weeks straight. Go through a couple bottles. If you stick to it the results on stains and discoloration are great.

After those weeks pass, the next thing is to visit a pharmacy/chemist/apothecary/whatever and purchase a dental hygiene kit. They're inexpensive (around 10 USD) and contain the standard set of picks and scrapers you see at the dentist's office. The most useful tool in there is the hook with flat sides. You don't need to go poking around with the sharp hook. Use the flat one to scrape your teeth starting from the gumline. I promise you're not going to damage your teeth. White, hard, brittle chunks may pop off. That's not tooth enamel. That's actually what happens when plaque accumulates. If you try whitening your teeth with that rock-hard crud on there, you're only going to whiten the crud. Use the kit a few times and you'll make sure that there's nothing caked up on your teeth.

Then, if you're still unhappy with your teeth, get a whitening system.

>>16950753
Wow thanks. My teeth aren't too bad so maybe the rinse will be enough

>>16950753
Not him, but why assume he doesn't know about plaque? That just comes off with brushig anyway doesn't it?

>>16950713
no, but you've done all you can do

Why are you dating someone who doesn't have any friends?

>>16950713

>long-distance
>recovering from surgery
>people breaking into the house

Can't tell if this is just really bad luck or they're jonesing hard for attention. Leaning towards the latter.

Takes time. Sometimes a year isn't enough. Also, cut all contact and remove anything that reminds you of her until you can get over it. Worked for me.

>>16950722
The worst part is that I feel if she breaks up with him, she will start hitting me up again. Whenever I do see her, she leans in, she gives me the "I really miss this" look and shit. She always says how she was "going to text me because X reminded her of that time we did X."

And I don't know if I have the strength to turn her down. I know she's poison, but I want it anyway.

This bitch sounds like a major drama queen. She's got WAY too many sob stories to tell.

I'm trying to be nice about it but self injury should have been a big enough sign...

It's just a shame because, like I said, she's an incredible friend, when things are normal. I don't want to lose her but I guess she's too troubled and not tolerating/behaving properly. She told me right off the bat that she has a habit of pushing people away and she can't get herself to stop. She's a sexy woman and looks great even without makeup but is completely alone in life.

You are in a tough situation, people go so long feeling inferior, less valuable, developing low self-esteem that they forget what it is like to actually feel positive and feel good about themselves.

I don't think it was wrong of you to be "hard' on her, but understand that these types of people are triggered by any sign of hostility, their way of coping with all the negatives in their lives is simply to ignore them and shut them/people out. People like this will shut you out before you get a chance to fully explain your position.

With these types of people, it is better to be nurturing, and nice. The key to all this however, is to be critical and FIRM, establishing a safe and secure medium, while trying to convey your message in a "Nice" way without scaring them away that seems non-threatening to them.
Good luck

stemgirl? kek nice

khorne approves this message

If you want an engineering job, market or not you will find one.

"The economy" is the lazy college excuse for not trying to find work very hard. Also, "I sent out resumes, thats all I can do!".

Dig everywhere, phone everywhere, move if you have to.

Yes there will be work but you have to work to get it, this is the real "weedout" class

>>16950635
"90% find work" is very different from "90% find work in their field of choice".

Your ability to find a job will depend on a lot of things. Where you live is the highest on the list. Your flexibility is a close second. Some markets are growing while others are moving.

What worries me is that it sounds like you're going to a for profit college. You will have a harder time coming from a technical college than if you have proper accreditation and the ability to move forward with your studies.

>>16950975
Oh no the college's engineering program has the proper accolades and certifications. It is also very reputable within the state, and certain programs it has are nationally accredited. I don't want to disclose it because I reaaaeeally don't like giving away even the slightest shred of personal info on this website.

>>16950923
Thank you for the advice, this is also a valid point. Most people I know who got engi jobs had to look for them.

i can relate. i was dating a women of 40 when i was 20. she was really nice and understanding at first but she became manipulative after a while, she was obsessed with the whole new age movement. best sex and best women i have probably been with though. how come you are starting to get bored of your partner?

I've tried now and again but trying has been more trouble than it's worth. Too many women getting egregiously offended that a 20something would dare make a pass at her. Then again I suppose that explains why they're single in the first place. But in any case I'd rather miss out than have a new headache every week.

On the topic of your particular problem, I think that has more to do with your age and maturity than her particular nature. If you really knew what you're looking for, either
a) you'd be content having found it with this woman and not have any reason to be curious about other girls, or
b) you'd be sure that your needs can only be fulfilled by more experiences and you wouldn't even need to ask the question on here in the first place.

I don't think you know what it is that you're really after from a relationship. And that's okay. It just means that you shouldn't be having relationships. You should date people casually. Relationships are a cost, a liability. I have no idea why you'd go out of your way to pay without even knowing why.

>>16950616

I just got bored of having sex with the same person for 4 years. I don't know if that happens because I'm 22 years old, and she was my first. I love her, and she loves me, and has done more things for me than my own mother, but still I can't help it but feel attracted / want to have sex witht other girls

Beta blockers.

Even people without anxiety can have "nervous sweat." It's just your nervous system being a little too sensitive to adrenaline, which is a perfectly normal endocrine response to needing alertness and attention--like a social situation. Even if you're 100% calm you're still attentive and your mind is busy with what you're hearing and saying. Ultimately you need drugs to handle the problem directly. Alternatively you could use a microwave therapy to disable those sweat glands permanently.

benzos but only sometimes

Its genetic. Idk what the condition is called but my mom and cousin once removed has it. There is no permanent solution but creames work temporarily.

Yo, OP, I had something similar on my nose; skin peeling, redness

(actually pinkness, cause im black and the layer would peel off)

use selsun blue, i know its for hair, but i use the one w/ zinc in it, my skin has evened out back to its natural tone, and is now smoother than ever

I also use sulfur soap, as well as black soap to smooth skin and kill bacteria and such

good luck

Is that photo when it's at its worst?

Eczema looks more like a blister. It doesn't flake like that. Rosacea causes pus filled bumps and redness.

It make also just be dermatitis. Do you shave in the areas that it comes up? What products do you use on your face ?

There's only one person who knows the true answer to this question. Instead you're asking hundreds or thousands of other people to just guess.

ASK YOUR BOYFRIEND.

Are you a lesbo or bi? Because if you think you're not I have news for you.

If you get circumcised you'll lose thousands of nerve endings, the process was only implemented in NA to prevent masturbation (less pleasure while doing equals less masturbation apparently) and if you do get circumcised you'll need to use lotion EVERY time you masturbate.

It's called phimosis. Gently pull the foreskin back along the head towards your waist daily to get it to stretch out, and eventually it won't be a problem. This will take a while, however; I was fortunate enough to discover masturbation when I was about eight years-old and yanked the fucker so hard it slid back all at once, so I didn't have to grow up with it being a problem.

>I'm going to brag about my IQ with the pretext that I'm concerned about these minor issues.

Go somewhere else for an ego boost, fag.

>>16950289
If I wanted an ego boost I'd be pretending that my score meant I was a genius and I didn't need any improvement.
Besides, the deviation from my working memory/processing speed subtest scores to my highest score is 25-35 points. It's a pretty large discrepancy.

Gay orgy

4 way orgy's are fucking boring cause 90% of the time they result in 1 on 1 sex per pair.

So just strangle the fattest guy and have a 3 way while sticking your foot in his penishole .
