Okay, so I’m a student, and I’m taking more and more online classes. It feels really isolating compared to being on campus and actually seeing professors in person. I miss being able to just pop into office hours after class or ask a quick question before the lecture starts. It’s much harder to build that…
Okay, so I’m working on this HUGE project. It’s really important for my career, and honestly, I’m putting a ton of pressure on myself to succeed. But things haven’t been going smoothly. I had a presentation last week that totally bombed – I just froze. And then, I got some really harsh feedback on my…
I’m a college student looking to study abroad, and I’m just starting to research exchange programs. I’m completely overwhelmed! There seem to be so many different options, and everyone uses different terminology. I’m trying to figure out which type of program would be the best fit for me.Specifically, I’m wondering about the different structures of…

She’s in second grade, and all the other kids seem to be devouring chapter books, but Lily clams up the moment I suggest reading. We’ve tried the assigned reading from school, which is a total non-starter – she finds it…
Okay, here’s the question, as if I were asking it, with more context: I’m looking to apply for some grants to fund my non-profit’s new community garden project. We’re a small organization, only been around for about two years, but we’ve had some success with smaller fundraisers and volunteer-driven initiatives. I’ve been doing some research…
Okay, so I get really anxious before and during tests. Like, stomach churning, mind-blanking, can’t-sleep-the-night-before anxious. It’s not just a little bit nervous; it actively messes up my performance. I study, usually, but I think I’m not studying effectively and maybe that’s part of the problem. I tend to cram right before, which I know…
