• (1 vote) Guys, why would you do something like this?
  

  Or why anyone would.
  
  I asked him but all he said was, “its not that big of a deal.” I left it at that because I didn’t want to argue, but he made it very obvious it *was* a big deal two hours ago when he formed a scene and started screaming at her.

• (1 vote) I have trouble managing my time correctly.
  

  Of the things you do during your day, only 20 percent really matter. Those 20 percent produce 80 percent of your results.
  
  As a student you dedicate yourself to achieving your academic goals for your own personal reasons, hoping that after all that time is spent studying, you’ll still have time left for having fun and being with loved ones. However, we’d all agree that making memories and sharing experiences is way more satisfying that working or studying. To work less and play more, its crucial to incorporate the 80/20 rule into your life.
  
  The 80 20 rule is a rule of time management, which is rooted in something known as the Pareto Principle.
  
  Do the 20% of your work that leads to 80% of your result
  
  “List and look at all your activities. Only a few of them give the most value and meaning. Do you really need the rest of them? Eliminate the time wasters and keep the important stuff. Be ruthless; don’t be afraid to say no if you need to.”
  http://resultsjunkies.com/blog/the-8020-rule/
  
  
  “Track all the time you spend on projects each hour of each day for a week. How many of these things were necessary? How many got you closer to your goals? How many were a waste of time? How many could someone else have done? Pick the 20% of your tasks that yield 80% of the results and discontinue the rest. Wondering what to do with your remaining time? Enjoy life.”
  http://liveyourlegend.net/living-the-8020-life-5-ways-to-achieve-more-with-less/
  
  
  From all our relationships, only a small portion of them gives the most value to us. Prioritize the 20% of your friends who provide 80% of your support and enjoyment:
  
  “These are the few people with whom you have strong emotional bond. Usually these people are your spouse, your family, and a few close friends. You should spend the majority of your time nurturing these relationships.”
  http://resultsjunkies.com/blog/the-8020-rule/
  
  If you apply 80/20 to your relationships you will surely find that a few people in your life provide the majority of your support, excitement, laughter and feelings of connection. On the other side, there is likely another 20% group of people who account for most your sleepless nights, tears, anger and frustration. If you don’t want to feel this way, stop spending time around your bottom 20. Fire them and work on duplicating your top 20. This may sound a little callous, but it’s not. It’s practical. The quality of our life comes down to the quality of the people and experiences that fill it.

  Good luck :)

  When he gets to doggy heaven, god is going to tell him about you. Hes going to tell him that you did your best to take care of him, you did your best to love him, and you did your best to be a good friend. Take care: people loose the greatest of friends everyday, but at least they lived long enough to have them.

• (1 vote) why do males fake relationships with girls just to make themselves look good infront of their friends?
  

  Guys, we shouldn’t use generalizations…
  As for my answer to your question: For most I’d say because they want to impress their friends.

• (1 vote) My roommate doesn’t like me,, and I cannot figure out why.
  

  Ignore her, join clubs and talk to people in class. If she notices you’re happy& you’re going to live your life regardless of what she thinks of you she won’t have much to say about you. And if other people notice, they’ll just think *she’s* the weird one for judging you without even knowing you.

• I was uninstalling a program on my computer and Microsoft word closed on my essay.
  

  I figured it out! Seesh. I was pretty pissed. I couldn’t find anyone who knew how to give legit instructions on how to do it on windows 2007.
  
  Here’s how in-case anyone ever gets into the same pickle (for windows):
  
  1. Click on your windows office button.
  2. Look for that bar that says “search programs and files”. It should have an hour glass next to it and be on the bottom of the first column. To the right of it should be the shut down button.
  3. Type in “.doc” click on your pick of any file that says “auto recovery save of document…”
  4. If Microsoft gives you some nonsense about how you’d like to open the file don’t choose web (the first option) because it will say it can’t find the document etc, chose programs and then it’ll show you what programs you can open it with. Choose word.
  5. Vuala! :) You’ll get an auto-saved doc.
  6. if the doc you see is not the not the one you’re looking for repeat step 3. If you still have no luck, go back to step 3 and instead of typing in “.doc” type in “.docx” and it should give you some different options.
  
  Also, it’s important to note that files that begin with “~” are also automotive so look at those as well.
  
  Good luck! :)

• I keep waking up late and I get counted absent, I’m gonna be forced to drop out.
  

  [quote michele_lee_perry]Oh, that sucks. Obviously, something is going on. When my sleep is interrupted during the night, sometimes it feels as if I haven’t slept at all.
  
  What’s waking you up?[/quote]
  
  I have no idea. Worst part is, when I told my parents I had trouble sleeping they blew me off and started saying just have no self disciple, I have no responsibilities, etc. The usual. Needless to say they weren’t much help.
  
  I have no clue what to do! Are there pills I could take to help me sleep better or fall asleep faster?

• Is it a bad idea to go to a guy friends house if he likes you?

• Is it a bad idea to go to a guy friends house if he likes you?
  

  [quote southern_comfort]If you are at such a young age that you need to ASK this question then the obvious answer is yes, it is a bad idea.
  
  If he was a true gentleman he should not be asking you in the first place. Unless he asks permission from your parents and THEY say it is okay I would not go. Not for all the tea in China.[/quote]
