My Criteria (ie. instant dealbreakers): Non smoker Not a total alco Has a job/ is studying/ whatever (as long as they don't do nothing at all) Someone I respect & who respects me Male Is there for me & is considerate Is good to talk to and also lets me get a word in edgewise Is not a...

If you're that close with her you should be able to talk about stuff like this without it being too majorly awkward. Just tell her how you feel, be respectful about it, let her know you want to stay friends no matter what her decision.

I'd be tempted to say kickboxing. I study Karate and find that most of it probably won't help me that much in a fight. Maybe it will be different given a few more years of practice. Who knows. Out of anything the sparring practice would help the most, you learn some useful stuff like "It...

Unfortunately for you, the 4% of the population that you find dateable also have 'standards.' Kudos for turning love into an algorithm. ps. Don't make the "PMS" call with your dream girl, she will drop you like a sack of decade-old potatoes.

I call troll. Would anyone care to second that motion?

Who gives? Clothes are clothes. You're like a reverse snob. Prejudice against expensive clothes rather than against cheap ones. It's like you're in court arguing that the sweater you wore was red, not blue, instead of that you didn't rob the bank. Trivial is trivial.

I would argue that the degree you do is not representative of your level of intelligence, or whether you are a "high acheiver" as such. A person with a UAI of 97 may choose to do an bachelor of science/ arts/ whatever degree requiring a score of approx 60, work incredibly hard and be motivated...

There's this amazing phenomenon of... being able to watch a movie more than once, and being able to ask your teacher for help. If you still don't get it, probs dropping the course is an appropriate course of action.

Your friend had the initiative to ask. Probably your friend didn't even think about it until your other friend asked. It's not even a slight. It sounds like you have a pretty good relationship wth your friend. Don't let your stress over trying to find a job, cloud your judgement and ruin...

And weirdly enough, after reading this I am craving balsamic vinegar.

I am craving hugs atm. And free time. If you can crave for that. :fish:

Welcome to uni life. You will either adapt or drop out. In lectures they cover topics, but it's up to you to do the practice/ extra reading at home so that you understand the topics. If you still don't get it, ask in your tutes or email the lecturer about it (but ask specific questions, don't...
