| If you're having problems with sleep (either or both falling asleep or staying asleep), you could probably benefit from talking to a doctor about it. They know about sleep hygiene and can help you figure out what would help you. There are likely lifestyle changes that you could make to sleep better:... |

| I've only ever seen TNG, so I can only comment on Data (I have not met Spock). I love the character Data. I wish I could be as smart as he is and know as much information as he does. I wouldn't necessarily say that I feel like I am him, although I relate to his literal thinking and his attempts at b... |

| Why does somebody always try to discourage people from their major of choice by talking about unemployability? Since when was the main point of a university degree to get a job? University is about learning and growing as a person. Whether it's history or graphic and media arts, or music composition... |

That makes perfect sense, and seems like a very reasonable way to go about it.  |

| I agree with Daily Poutine. Although it is technically an even number (if you think of it in cents, not if you think it in dollars, as 0.3 is definitely odd. Adding zeros at the end of a decimal means nothing), 30 cents is an awkward amount. 25 cents is odd, but it's a simple fraction (1/4). Much ni... |

| When and how to disclose is always a really hard question. It could be a great teaching moment. Think about whether or not you want to be answering questions about yourself that your classmates might ask. If you get a chance to ask the person who is assessing you what their impression is about discl... |

| For the first time in my life, I got accommodations in my third year of university. I got an A average before that just fine. I was really excited about getting extra time (I always struggle to finish in the time limit, for whatever reason) and getting to write in a 'quiet room.' However, the quiet ... |

| It is always hard to know what my best really is, and a personal best is not a static thing; what a person is capable can expand. So I am always trying to push myself to the edge and then keep trying to do more . . . and I'm not always sure when I'm pushing myself too hard, and when I'm not pushing ... |

I find it interesting how many people here think that life has meaning. As I see it, the main purpose of life is life, which turns into a circle which translates to life is meaningless.

| I don't like the idea of Proportional Representation, but First Past the Post is worse in my opinion. I think having regional representatives is important, but they don't do all that much for their region necessarily. At least in Canada (where I live), our First Past the Post system ends up with a p... |
