I am taking about 18hrs next semester and I really do not have the time to take on a real job. Most jobs are going to require 30hrs at least a week. I don't have that time to invest in it. I have to spend most of that working on projects and studying to make sure I pass everything with an A or B. I can't do some of the campus jobs because the slots open are from 10pm-4am. I need to sleep at some point right?

My question is: What are my options for making money during the school-year? Ideally I'd like to work out of my dorm or somewhere that does not require alot of time but generates at least some amount of revenue to have food and beer money for the month. Nothing spectacular, just manageable.

Hi /ask/ I come to you with a computer question.

I built my computer myself, and normally it runs flawlessly, however on occasion it seems to use 50% of my CPU processing for absolutely nothing. Which is a huge issue when attempting to play games, and the only remedy is restarting my computer, at least from what I've seen.

This issue only happens once the computer starts up, it never happens after it's booted up and was running at normal CPU usage (aka 1-5% with no programs running)

I’m thinking about transferring and am looking for a little advice.
I’m a college freshman right now. Not happy where I am now. Its not just the culture of a rural college that’s a turn off, it’s the blind hypocrisy I find here. I kind of stupidly expected people to be more like they were back in the city, and I got told off for it. “This is rural X, you should expect this.” And then I go into town. Post industrial rust belt. Ghetto as shit. No wonder the townies hate us, everyone here is a comparative elitist fuck.
If I mention any of my frustrations to people I instantly get shot down. “How DARE you be unhappy!!!?”
Everyone seems to hate me here. I was told the other day that the only reason anyone talks to me is because I suddenly have weed connections. I also fucked up with the girls I was going after big time, another reason to leave.

To put it bluntly if I were to pack up and leave now I wouldn’t miss anyone.
The place I’m at now wasn’t my first choice. More like 4th, 5th, or 6th, and so on. My father tells me I had better study hard and get some scholarships because he can’t afford to pay for me to stay where I’m at anyway. I already know that I don’t have straight A’s, I took too many credits, got over eager and bogged down with obligations. I do the work, but I don’t have any way of relieving stress at the moment since I’m single and unpopular. I cut out video games cold turkey this summer to get a better social life. During that period of extraversion I was overly enthusiastic and rapidly picked up the local accent and mannerisms, meaning that away at college I am as out of place as I could be.

I was hoping /ask/ could suggest a place for me to go.
I don’t know what I want to do in life really. I’m going to be a sophomore in the spring due to AP credits, but I can’t decide on a major, I think that I want to go exploring during undergrad. Undergrad degrees don’t really matter since its possible to change paths in grad school. If I haven’t decided what I want to do by then, I might as well shoot myself.
I want to go some place where I can have fun. Full of warmth and sunshine. A place with lots of trees everyw

I was just pointing out the fact that at a time when people with phd's are having trouble getting jobs, it sounded like a dumb thing to say.

Also the jobs available to someone of my skill set do not pay nearly enough to cover costs.

That and my research tells me that working during school has a negative impact on scholastic perseverance.

That isn't to say I'm not currently looking for a job, but my expectations are realistic.

Dear /ask/,

I'm 18 years old and a senior in high school financially dependent on my parents. My parents had always been a bit strict, but lately, they've clamped down on me.

They have started requiring church attendance. I have been atheist for five years, and they know it. During SUnday school classes, my dad very publicly berates my atheism, and my mom doesn't stand up for me because, she says, parents should not contradict each other in front of the kids. I feel humiliated when he does this.

Second, I was hit at a concert last month, fell down, and got a concussion. My parents have since forbidden all rock concerts unless they're in a large arena with bolted-down seats, which they don't I don't attend because of my problem with large crowds. I have felt crippled and lost without my primary social outlet and have begun spending four to eight hours a night online because I have no other outlet for fun.

Third, they're pressuring me to stop seeing my psychologist, despite these new pressures and the strain they're putting on me. I've been seeing my psychologist for five years. When Iw as 15, my parents cut me off from counseling, and I eventually became so distressed and disturbed they sent me back. After I resumed counseling, the mental disturbances stayed, and now they're annoyed.

Fourth, they regularly tell me what "liberal" parents they are, telling me they're giving me chances to get out in the world so I don't go crazy in college. This couldn't be further from the truth. I'm only allowed in the city on Sunday afternoons to visit my significant other, and I'm usually required to transport significant other back to the suburbs so my parents can watch us. My parents won't let me go to concerts because they're afraid another concussion will jeopardize my Ivy-League aspirations (based on a girl in our church whogot a severe concussion riding an ATV without a helmet.) I'm incresingly angry and distressed about the situation and don't know what to do. Please help.

That's another thing. I'm basically glued into place because I have full scholarships to two top-25 universities, including one Ivy, that are dependent on my parents' jobs and my completion of high school. If I didn't have such a lucrative option, I might be more keen on military life.

Yeah, fight the power dude.
It's pretty damn obvious you have never held down a worthwhile job or have had a serious relationship. If you want to go against the grain and do everything your own way your entire life, you are in for a rude awakening, "grin and bare it" is a part of adulthood. Or just go ahead and not be a "pussy" as you like to put it, and let us know how that works out for you.
>> No. 25103
>>25074 Your generalization of more than 80% of the world is beyond ignorant.

No one likes being told their wrong and I am sure that you tell her that she is wrong.

I am very religious and I would go to the local athiest meetings at my college just to be the voice of religion for them. I was not intolerant to what they said I just debated with them when they wanted to.

tl;dr Learn something then give people advice

Hello /ask/,

I seek advice re: tattoos. After a long time of admiring them from a distance, I've decided that I would like a sleeve tattoo. Does anyone here have them? If so, if there's any sort of advice/input you can offer as to what I should plan or expect, I would very much appreciate it. Also, and I know this is a long-shot, any ideas on designs too.

I'm female which may or may not be relevant and I also appreciate they're often considered ugly and so on on women but I'm very keen on this idea and the design I have in mind is pretty much the opposite of that pictured. I couldn't find anything else but it's useful for that reason in that this is more or less exactly what I don't want. I was thinking of something either on or just below the shoulder cap and to mid forearm. I was also thinking of something only in black ink. The coloured ones seem to me to fade after a time and I don't like this sort of design. Not for myself, anyway, although I think they look great on other people.

That's more or less what I wanted to ask. Apologies if it seems all over but I don't know anything about sleeve tattoos or tattoos in general so any and all advice would be appreciated. Thank you inadvance.

Keep in mind that it might affect your job prospects. If you get a full length sleeve and you don’t like wearing long sleeve tops you might have some problems.

Plan your design well and find an artist is renowned for doing that style i.e. if you want a tribal design, find someone who specialises in tribal, not someone who does oriental. I’d happily pay more for someone I know is going to do a good job.
>> No. 25102
>>24957 and >>25101 have pretty good points, and I don't really have too much to add to them, just that:

Sleeves can take several appointments to get done, depending on the level of detail, the area being covered, and so on. If it's fairly simple, you might be able to get away with one long session, or one appointment with a break in the middle. It's hard to sit in one place for that long, both for you and the tattooist.

Something that you can do, in regards to choosing your tattoo, is to have a friend draw it on you in sharpie to see how you like the look. Your artist may do this, as well, in the design process—but if you can come in with a roughed-out sketch of what you're looking for, they tend to find that pretty helpful. When I got the design done for one of my shoulder tattoos, my artist actually put a piece of tracing paper onto my shoulder, folded it down/around to get the contours, and then drew the borders she had to work inside so she could size the art correctly.

Above all else, tattoos should be fun for you—maybe not the inking process, which can be a little uncomfortable—but definitely the process of choosing a tattoo, and showing it off to the world (or just yourself.) Enjoy. Post pics in /hor/ once you get it done.

Excuse me, /ask/?

I've had this idea recently. For a month long, I am going to try to do something differently. In example, No cussing for a month. And going vegan for a month, and try both for a month long. I'm currently doing no shave November.

I'm a senior in high school. I smoke weed very often, I have a part time job. And I'm up for a little interest.

But I'm curious on how should I do this.

Suggestions? Ideas for different months to do? Just curious on what I maybe be able to find.

In this day and age are protests actually useful? Do they really accomplish anything? The internet and all things included (viral videos, websites spam, facebook and it's fan pages, etc etc) seem like they'd be a much more productive way of educating people about things that protests once were used for.

Are protests becoming outdated?
>> No. 25081
They will become outdated when all the older, non-internet savvy people die. As it is now, there are a lot of old voters who don't get exposed to much of anything on the internet. Public protests educate them.
>> No. 25088
Even if a protest may not change an issue per se, it does let people know, in a very public way, that there is a lot of people unhappy with something. Even though politicians or who ever is in change may ignore their message, protests are still very important. I don not see protests ever going away or being replaced by internet blogs. Especially when the internet is being moar and moar controlled, and it'll only get worse.

Hi /ask/. I need help choosing a bank to start a savings account. I tried googling it, but every site says one bank is "the best", so I don't really know what to trust. Any information or tips would be helpful at this point. Thanks.

Well there's interest rates, requirements such as; amount you have to deposit every certain period of time, limits on how many times/how much you can withdraw, etc.

If anyone has any experience with a savings account that could tell me what to look out for, that'd be awesome.
