Purchasing a Laptop Help Hi, I recently ordered a laptop online but Im kind of changing my mind on it. The laptop I ordered is ASUS X551CA 15.6" Laptop - Black (Intel Pentium 2117U/ 750GB HDD/ 8GB RAM/ Windows 8) Im kind of changing my mind to exchanging it with this (Cost a little more) Dell Inspiron 15.6" Laptop - Silver (Intel Core i5 4200U / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM / Windows 8.1) dual core or (Probably wont get this one since theres only one more in stock e_e) HP Pavilion 17.3" Laptop - Silver (AMD A10-5750M / 1TB HDD / 8GB RAM / Windows 8) quad core -I want to use it for School, MS, and league. My questions i5 or AMD 10? dual core or quad core? 15.6'' or 17.3''? Is this worth upgrading from Pentium? What laptop do you suggest?
teacher troll So I have a bunch of tests this week, so I decided I would get one out of the way by writing my online test as soon as it opens on Nov 3. I studied over the weekend, and today after I got home from school. When I finished studying I went online to write it, and I realized she hasnt even posted the test link. Honestly, you dont understand how annoyed I am. I tried emailing her and messaging her, but shes probably busy not giving a crap. Even though this seems like a small thing, I except some professionalism from teachers. Tomorrow I was planning to spend my time studying for another test, but I guess I am going to put at least 2 hours in reviewing my notes and writing the actual test that I shouldve already have completed. I d

Netflix vs. Popcorn Time I havent had cable tv in a long time, so Ive been using netflix for awhile now. I recently discovered another movie streaming company called popcorn time, and I gotta say, I use it way more than netflix now. What do you guys prefer? Netflix pros: Reliable source for movies and shows Good quality Subtitle option Netflix originals Saves where you left off Cons: Older movies Missing episodes Monthly payment Popcorn Time pros: Newer movies Free Complete episodes Cons: Sometimes bad quality (only if movie is still in theater.) Sometimes videos wont play, or unavailable torrent Often subtitles unavailable illegal movie streaming/download You have to wait until movie downloads before fast forwarding. If I know netflix has

college hbu living off campus, and my room mates suck. I love my program (MRT) but I hate my online classes .-. Books are expensive, cpr/whmis certificate is expensive, uniform + new shoes is expensive, making meals is time consuming. Btw how can ya'll afford eating fastfood or buy coffee everyday. I would like to enjoy other aspects of college like the free gym membership, sports, and events... but really who has time for that :~( hbu?
Purchasing Laptop Help Update As I stated in another thread I recently ordered a laptop online. I changed my mind and Im going to return it as soon as I get it. ASUS X551CA 15.6" Laptop - Black (Intel Pentium 2117U/ 750GB HDD/ 8GB RAM/ Windows 8) Well Im increasing my budget and I have two laptops in mind.

part time jobs and the struggle So I recently got a part time job at a restaurant kitchen as a dishwasher. The job itself is repetitive, fast paced, and very wet/dirty. My only problem right now is the shifts they're giving me is ridiculous for my first time on the job. I have to work on the busiest days ONLY ( friday and saturday ) and I have to close. Closing is basically cleaning the dish area at the end. Im suppose to finish at 2am but ALWAYS end up finishing around 3. Usually two people work dishes at a time, but the other guy always leaves around 10 then the dishes just starts piling up. ugH. Maybe im just complaining but I was wondering if other jobs are as hard. Only good thing is the work environment. Everyone is really nice and ca
Taking classes you dont need. For why? I know people in my chem/bio/physics classes back in highschool and end up doing well but dont use it. They are like in some business program, or a an art program or something totally unrelated. Why would you put yourself through that? Although I do know people who went into a health program after finishing their business administrative/Art/etc.
Learning how to cook in College Before I entered college I didnt even know how to turn on an oven. I decided I wasnt going to be one of those students who eat microwavables everyday. (My room mate literally has 5 boxes of hot pockets in our freezer) Or the type of student to eat out everyday with a meal plan. I try to learn a new dinner recipe every time I go shopping for groceries. So far ive learned -Baked BBQ chicken thighs -Steamed sausage -Baked chicken breast (My fave dish atm) -Alfredo Pasta (Just learned last night. Cooked it with bacon) -Boiled Potatoes (Mashed) -Boiled Carrots -Potato wedges -Steak (Probably wont have this again soon, too expensive) I eat with only $100 a month, which I think is very good since i'm eating well. I

Study strategies and habits? I was always curious how much my classmates put into studying for the grades they get. For myself I know I have to put in alot of hours in order to prepare for a test. Over my years of highschool I've tried many different strategies to study ranging from: writing out notes to study from, typing out notes, and quietly reading over and over. The most effective way Ive found so far is reading out loud and explaining to myself the concepts and main ideas. This is primarily the way I prepare for tests and exams for the last 2 years (grade 12 & first year college) and it worked quite well for me. Now for the duration of studying. Because, all my life, my tests and exam grades usually made up 90% of my final grade,
