    Quiet places to live

    Over the summer I lived in an apartment complex where the parking lot was on the other side of the building from me. It meant I had a long walk to get to my car, but there wasn't any noise from the parking lot in my room.

    Cashier Anxiety?

    I worked as a cashier for a summer at a large store and the managers wanted us to constantly be talking to the customers for a more "friendly" experience. Most of the conversations fell into predictable patterns, so to keep myself from getting horribly bored I spent a good amount of time...

    Greetings: I'm Carly... not that Carly though :-(

    Hello and welcome! You mentioned Otterbox cases, and I just wanted to say that they're awesome. One of my friend's phones fell out of her pocket in a parking lot and got run over by a car, and while the case had to be replaced afterward, her phone was totally fine. I've had my case for four...

    Hello, I'm new here from asperclick.

    Something with 1905 would be cool given the year's importance in physics. You could base your name off one of your favorite scientists or your favorite element. Orbital or Absolute Zero sound kind of cool. You could do something involving psi for wave functions or C60 for buckminsterfullerene...

    College: Study curriculum or Do an interesting research?

    I worked in a lab on a project that was very much related to what I was learning in my courses, and I found that having the connection made me a lot more interested in my coursework and increased my comprehension of the topics. So in my case, I found doing research at the same time as coursework...

    Do you have a favorite spatula?

    My favorite spatula is one that I got for "free" when I bought some ham at the grocery store. Then my roommates accidentally melted part of it, but thankfully the store still sold the exact same type.

    Accepted to college!

    Congrats! What are you studying? I didn't find out which colleges I got into until March because I didn't apply early decision anywhere, so I had less time between acceptance and graduation, but this is basically what I said whenever someone asked about college/life: "I can't believe my senior...

    New Year's Plans: Strive to be better?

    I have a few - to find a good job for post-graduation in May, to write and publish the sequel to my first book, to learn basic Russian, and to ask the guy I like out (I can't do it right now because he's currently my TA).

    Mood tracking

    I downloaded the app to give it a try, thank you for the recommendation! I've tried mood tracking before, but I never kept it up for more than a few days so I like that on this one, there's tags you can use for feedback and you don't actually have to write anything.

    hi i'm new and i have a question :-)

    Hello! I know that for me, maintaining eye contact gets harder the longer a conversation is. It's why I find extended one-on-one interactions (like a meal) kind of awkward and tiring because there's not multiple people to look between.

    Hello

    When I saw your name, my mind jumped to "ah yes, here's 2 kilowatts". Anyway, I'm curious. Is the watts for the unit of power or something else?

    Do you cyberstalk?

    An author that I read goes by a pen name, and she was wondering if people would be able to figure out her real name. We have a mutual friend, so I was asked to try, and it turned out I could find her real name, address, family members, etc. I told her one easy thing to make it much harder to...

    Hello, I'm new here from asperclick.

    Hello and welcome! What kind of science is your favorite? I'm studying biochemistry, but recently I've been really into synthetic biology.
