    Weekend job ideas?

    So I've been working 3rd shift full time at a hotel (so I could study at work when I was also in school full time). It nearly killed me, literally. Recently (since I'm not taking classes fall semester) I went back to my old job at a vet when a full time position opened up, and I'm now working...

    Has anyone ever volunteered for big sister/brother or something similar? I'm about to apply. I want/need to make a difference in someone's life. As much for myself as for them, to put things in perspective and make me feel at least somewhat useful.

    Apartment troubles

    6 months ago I moved into a friend of a friend's apartment because I needed a new place to live and he wanted to live in a house with his friends (also cheaper rent for him). Before I moved he told me I could bring my dog and cats (one of the most important factors for me) and that he wasn't...

    Why can't he ask me out himself?

    There's a guy who works in another department at the same place I work at. He's asked two other guys over the past couple of months to try to get me to go out with him, one of which said he's shy around girls. I didn't give them much of an answer though because I don't feel like that's a good...

    I feel hopeless

    I've been at a state university for almost 4 years now while working fulltime. I've screwed my gpa up, taken out a ton in loans, changed my major 5 times, and I still have no idea what I want to do with my life. Any major I choose I am still at least 1 year and 1/2 away from graduating in...
