    Feel awkward with skills partner

    meh.. Yea, I would report any harassment, but that's only IF that happens. He's most likely not going to, though. I would give him the benefit of the doubt. He might seem creepy because he is a loner....

    Financial Aid Appeal?

    A lot of schools (NOT ALL OF THEM THOUGH! Take these words with a grain of salt...) want you to attend but are obligated to make you appeal because you don't meet the requirements for federal student...
  16. I'm a crammer and a procrastinator, but I still managed to do better than most of my classmates. I'm not advocating that cramming and waiting last minute are good study habits though. Just get...
