Aww thank you :) I'm sure you are quite awesome yourself, mysterious questioner!

Hmm. I would say that the best way is to just start talking to him. I know it's hard if you're shy (trust me, I'm shy too), but it's the best way to get a guy's attention. Just start small. If you have classes together, try talking to him then (it helps if you have mutual friends or if you can work in a group together). Ask about homework. Say hi to him in the hall. No need to flirt yet, just become comfortable talking to him. Everything else should come naturally. (Don't like, write a emo/sappy poem that is very un-subtly directed at him and then read it aloud during class. That's the wrong kind of attention.)
-
Hmmm. I actually don't know. The literal translation of "Will you marry me?" would be "Willst du mich heiraten?" but I doubt that's how they do it there. I can't seem to find anything online that says they do it differently, however. I did see one thing about only one ring instead of two, and you just swap it from one hand to the other at the wedding. That's all I know. Bratwurst and beer are probably involved.

Ack I'm sorry my response is so late! Hmm if she is still making bad choices and it isn't too late to do something about it, I would say you should definitely consider that. I mean it's never fun to play that role, but we have a responsibility to our friends not to let them do stupid things. It's easy to fall into the role of facilitator and to be afraid to anger your friends by speaking out against them, but if they are doing something very dangerous, you should try to advise them against it, at the very least. If they keep going anyway you should maybe seek outside help. It's better to endanger your friendship than to let your friends endanger their lives.

I'm not really sure. Right now I'm thinking a double major in German and Biology (with a focus on Ecology) but that might change.
-
Yes. Especially when I'm tired. I tend to think that I get over it quickly, though.
-
Aww, thank you! You seem very kind yourself :)
-
I don't think that I could pick a single person. My parents are very important to me. Each of my friends is important to me for a different reason. My teachers and my guidance counselor are important to me. My cats are important to me (yes I consider them people). Random characters and celebrities I don't even know may be important to me. It really depends on what you mean by "important."
-
I wouldn't know. Considering that I'm not Lady Gaga, I doubt that I would.

Sure! I'd love to :)
Guten Tag [gooten takh] = good-day/hello
Wie geht's? [vee gayts] = how are you?
Gut [goot] = good
Schlecht [shlekht] = bad
Ich liebe dich [ish leeba dish] = I love you
Aufwiedersehen [owf-vee-dair-zayn] = goodbye
Tschüss [tchews] = bye! (colloquial)
Bitte [bit-tuh] = please, you're welcome
Danke [dahn-kah] = thank you
Wilkommen [vill-koh-men] = welcome
Viel Glück! [feel glewk] = good luck!
Das machte Spaß [dass makh-tah shpaz] = that was fun
Das ist mir egal [dass ist meer eh-gahl] = that doesn't matter to me, whatever
That's just a very basic list. Let me know if there are any particular phrases you want to know, or if you want to learn any grammar or anything! -
I DON'T KNOW. BECAUSE TORCHWOOD DECIDED TO BE FAIL AND DISAPPEAR? DX

I think it is something they could end up regretting for the rest of their lives. Risks can be necessary, even good, but only if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks. When the risk is only taken for a "thrill" that does nothing to help a person in the long run, but the consequences could land them in jail/the hospital...then I think it is foolish to take the risk. Then again, life would be boring if we never did things foolish things, right? I do think it worth thinking of the consequences first, though.
-
If you think you can't win, then you've already lost. Self-confidence really can turn everything around. I know it's hard, but start small. Start by counting your blessings every day. Give yourself a moment to take pride in everything you have accomplished. (No, don't say you haven't accomplished anything. You have.) Just keep your chin up, and remember to breathe. Remember you are special, and remember the wise words of Eleanor Roosevelt, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
(I feel like that was a real mish-mash of advice, but hopefully if I said all of that, at least part of it has to help, right?) -

I'm pretty cynical about relationships, to be honest, and I think young people often rush into things. Maybe if they had been together for several years and had no doubts about spending the rest of their lives together, it could work out. (Or if a pregnancy was somehow involved, and the woman chooses to keep the baby. The guy should stick around, in my opinion, because raising a baby alone in college seems really difficult.) Generally, though, I feel like even in college, people are too young to make those kinds of decisions. Also, I think a big part of college is trying new things and reinventing yourself. I don't know if a person could do that properly if they were tied down in a marriage. (Note, I'm not saying that I think it's okay to be unfaithful and promiscuous in college; I just think that a marriage is a really serious commitment, and might limit the freedom college students might otherwise enjoy.) I also feel like the younger people get married, the more likely they are to get divorced. I mean there are certainly a lot of factors that could come into play, and maybe I'm just being too cynical, but it is definitely not something I can see myself doing.

No, freedom is the backbone of America! Which means I have the freedom to go to college if I want to :)
-
Yay! :D We'll have fun. We can go to Costco and eat free samples, and IKEA and look at funny Swedish stuff. Also Potomac Mills is NOT ugly. They got a giant Forever 21! It's exciting.

If you had asked me this last year, I probably would have said no. But this year everything seems to be falling into place. Maybe it's just the thought of having to leave soon, but I've realized that I really love TJ, and I am going to miss it a lot. Sure there are plenty of things I wish I had done differently--or at least tried--but I have, nevertheless, had so many amazing experiences and made so many amazing friends during my time here. School has been such a huge part of my life for the past four years...I can't imagine having gone anywhere else.
-
Oh, my apologies; you're right >.> I will henceforth give up my foolish college dreams!
Btw we need to hang out soon. -
Yup! I actually really liked the performance of "Hallelujah." I thought that was really moving, and I've always liked that song. The gold lights were a nice touch too.
