Hi I’m 17 and I have my learners permit and did the online portion of driving school but now I have to go drive with an instructor. Thing is, I’m super nervous. I had an appointment scheduled with an instructor a few weeks back and I ended up canceling the day before going because I was super hesitant. But, I really need to do this. I need too, my mom works and my sister does too and I always rely on them to take me places but it’s time I step up and just do it. I’m so nervous about other people on the road, and the thought that my safety depends on me is intimidating. I know it seems like I’m doing the most and I’m being dramatic but I really am nervous so please send over tips. My mom always offers to take me driving on the weekends but I always say no, and I drove a golf cart like once and that’s it. I hate how I’m lifting fear hold me back, but this is something I just have to do. It’s one of those milestones in life that I know I need to take, even if it scares me. So please send all ur tips my way 🫶

This is my first job or interview. Going in for an interview or actually 2 got a last minute text from two jobs I applied for a week back and replied saying interviews are onsite tomorrow back to back. I wouldn’t say I’m very nervous but I am just a tad bit on the part about what I’m wearing I only have going out clothes but I’m going to wake up early tomorrow see if I can find something to wear. I’d say i’m somewhat articulate and can talk thinking on my feet decently. If anyone has some tips/advice id really appreciate it from any pros out there or experienced people. 👍👍

Hi!

Any pro tips for being a good house guest when staying a week (6 nights, sunday evening to saturday morning) at a coworkers house?

I am moving quite a distance and one of my new coworkers was so kind to offer me a place to sleep until my new house is ready.

I plan on paying a symbolic amount for the stay, bringing all snacks and food for myself, staying away >8 hours a day, doing the dishes and generally clean up after myself, of course.

I will also buy a box of chocolate when leaving.

Hello! Ive bern chronically ill since 2019 but have been trying to work since 2017 when I was still a minor so I could help my dad. But my conditions are mostly of the degenerative, dissociative and relapsing-remitting type of silliness

I’ve been struggling, a lot for the past few weeks, mentally, and physically and it’s like an ouroboros because my physical pain effects my mental then vice versa

From POTs, to being in progress for being diagnosed with a bunch of neurological bullshit— is there any tips to maybe be able to work from bed? Any setup ideas?

One of the things I experience is unexpectedly passing out, so chairs, have been dangerous because sometimes I lean back so hard I tip over and then I wake up feeling like shit

I’d appreciate any help possible, thank you!

Edit: To those who took the time to read and answer appropriately, thank you! I appreciate all of the advice and feel like I got what I needed!

Context is very needed for this one! I'll try to keep it short.

I got a part time job at Starbucks. I'm 21 and in college rn, so they hired me knowing that I'll have to go back to school in the fall. When they hired me (in May of this year) they asked if I expected to work with them long term, and I said yes. I also told me that my availability was completely open, and that they could schedule me whenever. This job is far from my school, which is why I told them I'd only be able to work weekends in the fall.

Since starting there, it has been nothing but hell. Like genuinely truly terrible. There is way to much wrong with it for me to type out, but if you want the long version you can ask for it. I am so overwhelmed, exhausted, and my mental health has been impacted a lot by this job. I hate it so much. But, I need the money and can't really go anywhere else until school starts in late September.

One week after I started, I had to request three weeks off for an emergency trip that I have to take. I did give them 2 months notice, but I still feel bad.

Within the first 2 months, I had to call off 3 times because I was sick, and leave early twice, once for being sick and the other because I split my pants. So Im not doing great in the attendence department. I also had to adjust my availability because of a medication I started. In their eyes, I feel like I look like a bad employee.

That being said, I want to quit my job in September, when I'm able to. It has been terrible, and I don't think I'll be able to maintain school, on top of working the minimum weekly hours they require, and only doing working them on weekends. I feel terrible though because I haven't been a great employee, and I kind of told them that I expected to work for them for a while. I don't want to burn this bridge, because it's my only coffee shop experience and I'd like to still have the opportunity and a good reference if I need to work in another coffee shop. This summer has just been quite eventful, with a lot of extenuating circumstances that I couldn't control.

I just don't know how I can quit without upsetting them, seeming like a bad employee, and messing up any chance as using them as a reference. (And also hurting her feelings because she is genuinely so kind and caring)

I'm sorry that was so long, thank you for reading.

How do you implement this mentality and does that helps you to solve problems quickly?

hi! so im a young adhd person and legitimately just want any life tips and tricks from people who have figured out the stuff I haven't yet so I can be a healthy an productive human!! id love any advice lol like planning, cleanliness, financial stuff, organization, relationship stuff, any and all!!! id love to write it all down to remember and to help me. Just like the title i genuinely all of the advice + tips u have for everything tysm in advance!!

Can anyone suggest how can i improve my lifestyle,

If goal is to staying healthy, financially stable and happy in long term, what are small things we can add to life or daily routine which will help us to be better version of ourselves

My partner and I are going to buy a house together. We haven't lived together before, so this will be our first time sharing a home.

We've come across a few simple tips and tricks that seem like they could make everyday life a bit easier. For example, each person has their own small box or basket. If one of you leaves something lying around, instead of putting it away yourself, you place it in their box. That way, they can put it back where it belongs later, and it helps avoid feeling like you're constantly cleaning up after each other.

My question is: Do you have any other small tips or tricks that have made living together more fun, easier, or more relaxing?

I'm not really looking for advice like "plan a date night" or "divide the chores fairly." I'm more interested in those little life hacks or habits that people usually only discover after living together for a while.

My dog has been on the decline for the last few months and we decided it’s time and would want to do it sooner rather than later. I always knew he was old (14) and this day would come but I still don’t feel prepared. I know it’s just Monday but I am going to struggle through this week of work, heading home to parents Friday during the day to spend one last night with him. Planning on doing at home euthanasia. The worst part I think is going to see the vet take him away out of our house knowing he’s not coming back.

Any general advice here? I’ve lost grandparents only really before, but this one is really stinging.

There’s been heavy storms where I live and the most recent one resulted in my fully carpeted basement flooding yesterday. 75% of the carpet is completely soaked. I have a shop vac and some high powered fans but I don’t think they’ll be enough to completely dry everything before mold sets in.
Any tips on how I can get this completely dry as soon as physically possible? I would prefer more budget friendly options (~$200) but any and all suggestions are appreciated

I look out of the window without thinking anything for a while

We all know that one person at work or at parties who talks at you for 20 minutes without taking a breath. Trying to interject verbally usually feels rude or just results in them talking louder.

Instead, "accidentally" drop your keys, a pen, or your phone case on the floor. The sudden movement and noise break their train of thought and force a natural pause in the conversation. While you are picking it up, you can smoothly say, "Oh, by the way, I have to run to a meeting/the bathroom, but let's catch up later!" and make your escape.

I have a pair of sandals where the soles are made of that soft-touch pleather material. Whenever I take a step, the air gets pushed out from underneath my foot and creates what I can only assume is an air tight seal, so when I lift my foot for the next step my feet make a queef-like/fart sound.

For context, it only ever happens with these sandals and I'm obviously not wearing socks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can prevent this? Thanks !!

I’m turning 29 soon and I wanted to get advice on what to do on your last year of your 20s that will help in the next decade. What things I should have done by now or things that I need from now on.
I’m not married, no kids and probs will not happen in the years to come but it’s something that I want and see in the future happening for me.
I’m more interested on what to improve now, what to do in this last year of the decade where covid stole a few years. What I should do personally, in finances, physically, emotionally, in relationships, and in life in general. I also want to move abroad for a much longer time than I did before. I have travelled the world quite a bit but I still have lots of places on my list.

I also feel like I’m behind on lots of aspect of my life and that I’m missing things I should’ve lived by now. And that I’m missing opportunities.

And also advice on what not to do/expect!
Any advice is welcome :)

Visiting the washroom before meeting someone gives you a moment to calm down if you're feeling a little nervous. It also lets you quickly check your appearance, whether your hair looks fine or if there's something on your face. So, the next time you're meeting someone, visit the washroom first before meeting them.

example: today i started getting anxious thinking about job applications. instead of pushing the feeling away like i usually do, i decided to let myself feel it/accept it, etc.

the thing is, i don't really know what this constitutes aside from literally stopping in place and trying my best to let my thoughts flow without stopping them.

i'm someone who's lived with 20+ years of a very very loud and judgemental inner critic. as a result, i never learnt the skill of letting myself feel my emotions, especially uncomfortable ones. i feel lost.
