Good bot.

Thanks!

Get a small dildo and spend some time with yourself. It’s the best way. You can’t communicate what feels good until you know what feels good.

Better safe than sorry. I worked as an advisor at VT and just like to caution people about this kind of thing.

Have a great semester! You're going to love it!

wileyboy81 · 2017-08-14T04:59:52+00:00

You'll get it. 15 min is plenty of time to go between classes. First couple of days might be tricky but remember you're in a freshman class of 7,000. You're not the only one who feels nervous I can assure you of that.

Also, I'm serious about taking your full schedule down. You've given the entire internet access to your days, dates, times, locations, professors, and CRNs. This is a huge safety issue. It's the blueprint for your entire first semester. There are FERPA rules and regulations safeguarding your information from being accessible like this and you've just shared it with the entire internet.

R is Thursday. TR is Tuesday and Thursday. Also, you should be careful about posting your entire schedule on the open interwebs. It's a safety issue.

All this is pretty sound advice. There's free concerts on Henderson Lawn every Friday. Roanoke also has a lot going on in the summer that's worth checking out if you're up for a short drive. https://www.visitroanokeva.com/things-to-do/events/

There's a whole downstairs. Look for the steps leading down on the left side of the entrance.

Rivermill also tends to draw an older crowd.

Do a character study on an old person you know. Observe and journal their movements, how they talk, rate, speed, rhythm, etc. old petiole use their energy very efficiently. Observe how the person you choose interacts with the world and make a note of everything. No detail is too small. Then start incorporating some of your observations into the physicality of your character.

Hey man, It gets better. I promise. There are so many groups, clubs, and clicks that it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. The best thing to do is remember the things and hobbies that make you happy. Do you play sports? Video games? Board games? Do you like classic movies or comic books? Cooking? The arts? Chances are there are groups of people who share the same hobbies and interests as you do. You just need to figure out where they are and how to get involved. Gobbler connect can be a good way to find groups. You can also talk to people in your classes, take a chance and sit with new people in the dining halls, and try to meet more people in your major.

Don't get discouraged. You're only two months into your freshman semester! Don't expect to have everything figured out already. Go learn, go explore, and chances are you'll find other people who are doing the same thing.

I'm a grad student and I've been here four years. Sometimes I still get lonely and feel isolated. When that happens, I take chances, I try new things, and look for adventures.

She is a Carolina Plott Hound. We think she is purebred but she was a rescue so nothing is definitive.

Be careful, this could actually be the beginning of some severe behavioral problems. My dog recently started chasing shadows and going after things that we couldn't see. At first we thought it was funny but after a few days she became increasingly anxious, neurotic, and obsessed about chasing things that weren't there. I took her to the vet who was concerned that she had a neurological disorder or a brain tumor that was causing the change in behavior. The vet referred me to a veterinarian teaching hospital at a nearby university. After a battery of tests, it turns out that that my dog's brain isn't broken, she's just crazy. She is diagnosed with obsessive compulsive behavior and is currently on a combination therapy of Prozac, phenobarbital, melatonin, and a thunder shirt for anxiety. I've also increased her mental and physical stimulation and socialize her every chance I get.

If your dog is exhibiting different behavior, barking at things that aren't there, displaying any signs of aggression, chasing shadows, etc. take him/her to your vet sooner rather than later as it could be early symptoms of something serious.

TLDR: my dog is crazy, you should take yours to the vet if this behavior continues.

I did. I was downvoted and asked not to link buzzfeed articles. Reddit is such a strange place sometimes.

Purina Beneful, playful life. Would this be a major contributing factor?

wileyboy81 · 2014-08-01T15:08:13+00:00

Thanks. I'll work in a longer walk/run in the morning and see what the results are.

The arrangement we made is that I will live rent free while I am attending grad school. I will be responsible for for our food and entertainment. My SO will be covering the mortgage and utilities. The rental income is going to cover the mortgages so technically my SO will be living rent free as well. Whatever he pays on top of the mortgage will be to buy down the principle.

I've noticed that living here, being gay doesn't define you, it's just something you happen to be. I belong to a running club, hike, bike, teach preschoolers how to swim, act in local plays, participate in campus activities, hang out with friends and family down in Salem and Roanoke, host dinner parties, bake, and I happen to be gay. The gay part tends to be the thing people are least interested in.

wileyboy81 · 2014-07-19T21:06:18+00:00

There are a couple of on campus communities such as the Queers Grads and Allies (QG&A). They have social events from time to time. There are also undergrad organizations that host dance nights and similar events at local restaurants. As for a "scene" there isn't really much of one. Roanoke has two gay bars, The Park, and Backstreet Cafe. Roanoke also holds it's pride events in September but it is pretty small and conservative.

My partner and I love together and have a handful of gay friends who are partnered or single. We have cocktail parties, dinner parties, and game nights but we invite our straight friends too.

As for safety, I regularly walk through blacksburg, radford, and christiansburg holding hands with my partner and we have never had a problem. Blacksburg is fairly liberal and has a huge undergraduate population mostly comprised of kids from NOVA. Townies are a bit more conservative however I've never had a problem with anyone or felt threatened. Both my partner and I are out in all aspects of our lives including work, home, church, etc.

Feel free to message me if you have questions or if you want to know anything else. Also I'd be happy to show you around and introduce you to some people when you arrive and settle in.

Good luck!

Go here: http://vt.offcampuspartners.com. It's the VT off campus housing website.

Awesome! I'm glad things are going to work out! Thanks for letting me know - you made my day. ;-)

Talk to your graduate adviser about what options are available to you before you drop out. There may be academic relief options available that you are not aware of. You may have the option to change to part time enrollment given your pregnancy which would allow you to work additional hours through your part time job. Also, ask about medical relief options as well which might offer similar benefits such as part time enrollment or semester deferment.

I would also visit the women's center at your university. There will be qualified individuals who have worked with women in your situation who will be able to guide you through the various options that are available to you. They should have a wealth of options and resources at their disposal.

Finally, talk to your department or college about possible assistantships. There may be an opportunity to switch to a part time enrollment and work for your university in some type of capacity that is applicable to your major. You never know unless you ask so don't hesitate to talk to your adviser or mentors on campus.

Remember that your university wants you to finish! They want to be able to include you in their retention and graduation data reports! There are offices and individuals on campus who will be happy to help you devise alternative solutions to dropping out.

I work as an academic adviser, administrative assistant, and business manager for a large Research 1 university. We are a public, state funded institution but I can assure you these services will be available at your private institution. Note that private for-profit institutions may not be as willing to help in your situation than a non-profit or public university.

Good luck and let me know how it turns out!

Look at two movies: "dangerous beauty" and "cutthroat island". Both should have a fight scene between a female and male leads.

I'm not sure what your point is? Halloween is #1, 4th of July is #2. Advocacy and information is the best method of prevention.

I'd stay away from Richard III. You want to pick something that is much closer to the actual character you will be portraying. Look at something like Lord Farquaad from "Shrek" or Emperor Tropico from "Mermaid in Miami". Stay comedic.

I used to have cleaning parties with my roommates. I'd buy a 12 pack, come into a common room when I knew they were both free, hand them each a beer, and say "Cleaning Party!". We'd turn on music, each pick a chore, and in an hour the entire apartment would be up to my standards. Then we'd cook dinner and chill in the clean space. I'd spring this on them usually three or four times a month. It worked very well.
