  • Can a person who, hasn't taken the sat or act but has earned college credit hours transfer to a university?

    My friends and I were asked the above question by a random student and I'm not sure what the correct answer is. I'm also in the same predicament... XD

    I've earned 36 credit hours that transfer to the University I want to go to, with a 3.34 gpa.

    I don't know if I'm able to go transfer to that university... although I meet the basic requirements for the school... because I didn't take the SAT or ACT...

    I told the student (because no one else wanted to) it depends on the acceptance criteria of the college and if they accept credits from this institution, but I explained that i don't know if not having the SAT scores or ACT scores would help or hinder her application process and that I'm in the same boat she's in. I explained to her also what the SAT and ACT is used for,to measure the student's success in college. BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW and now i'm sitting at my computer with loads of stress and anxiety over the issue... SO PLEASE if your able to answer my question please do so D:

  • What's happening to me?

    For some reason after I had taken a spanish course I've been noticing that simple words in English look as if they are misspelled or it's like my brain isn't processing them correctly. For example I was spelling the word group, and I thought I spelled it wrong, or I'll forget a word, or use a similar sounding word in the wrong context (these are usually words over three syllables).

    I have no idea why this is happening and I took a dyslexia screening for a eleventh grader but I am in my second year of college When I viewed the results there was no indication of dyslexia.

    I've known this to happen to people who are under a lot of stress, or not sleeping well. however this happens to me on an occasional basis. I don't know if I havhypertensionon, or if I'm just simply stressed due to college.... But I shouldn't be I seem to be managing things very effectively.... I just don't know what's going on. My reading comprehension skills are better than average, as well as my grammarer, and vocabulary...

    I don't know what's happening to me...

    Maybe I should add also that very recently I found out that I was speaking latin, that a made up language I used was actually latin... But of course I felt like that was fine due to the fact I've had French and Spanish courses throughout high school.

    This is starting to bother me too and even when I frustratedated my head starts pounding as if there was some type of intercrainal pressure or something... I don't think I have a tumor, my behavior seems to have bconsistenttant and not out of the norm for someone my age.

    I'm just freaking out due to the increase of incidents in which these verbal IQ hiccups have been happening... I hope that my stress isn't inducing early onsenilityialty (NOW THAT WOULD BE REALLY SCARY... now I'm even more scared, because I don't know if that's even possible)

    I also need to note that yes I do have problems with grammer mostly spelling. At times I seem to spell things phonically. And I'm 20 years old I've never done drugs and I try to eat a well balanced meal 3 times a day, I would exorcise (that is untill recently)... I used ot read alot now It's just mostly articles about psychology and other things I look into for research (and has anyone else noticed that yahoo answers spell checker seems to overlap words)... I spelled for an entire week the words thank you as thankyou. It seems like my memory is on dump mode for some reason as if it's making way for newer information I have not had any trauma happen to me so far. and I've started taking extra vitamins mostly vitamins C, E, A and B complex and D occasionally.... Could I be showing signs of a overdose... Although memories are coded proteins... OMFG is this a sign of a protein deficiency!?

  • Another psychology question...?

    I do not consider my self a leader in any way shape or form, but for some reason, certain people choose to attribute my personality and behavior to a control mechanism that makes them act in a certain way or makry to their morals or whatever else that have nothing to do with any interaction with my person.

    A particular situation that has been brought to my attention is at my college there is a transient student that has I suppose developed some type ofamorouss feelings or something that has made him feel the need todisassociatee from theresponsibilityy of his actions and choices, and place theresponsibilityy on to me. As you can more than likely tell I am scathingly angry and I sent him a text message that expressed his lack of character andintegrityy in the matter.

    He choose to drop out of a play that our college was doing two weeks before the actual showing and then blamed it on me. He's an understudy for the part I have in the play and I didn't want to be in the play myself but I am sticking it out because the dean of the psychology department asked me to do so.

    I know I shouldn't be upset with him for not being able to take the heat for his own actions, when he was called into a leadership position.

    THis strangely happens all the time and I don't have apompouss attitude, in fact I don't hurt people's feelings at all. I'm not a overly vivacious person, but I try to be jovial, because I like to help people.

    This person and I have only had two interactions and an hour long conversation in which he proceeded to tell me about his sexual practices which I don't personally care for.

    I told him about mine to be polite, simply that I am aproblematicc (meaning that I have only had sexual contact a very few number of times in my entire 20 years of living, but have had meaningful relationships with both men and women).

    I don't understand where the harm is.... why he feels the need to attack me with a displacement of his integrity...

    This happens a lot actually, I have had men and women who have shown sexual attraction to me due to something simple that I've said like, "your pretty", or "you seem as if you work out often", or even if I joke around flirting with the individual, that I let know I'm joking.

    I am going to start being withdrawn, well introverted and very selective with whom I talk to. I've been told I was attractive and easy to get along with and that could be what sets people off by a guest speaker.

    So my question is, is my anger justified, and what do I need to change to stop this from happening in the future; how can I remain social and don't inspire anynegativee or romantic feelings in other people?

  • Why do people take advantage of weaknesses in others?

    It's not very known but i have a really bad problem with not being able to say no. And when I finally do say no people don't listen to me. They think they are manipulating me into doing things i don't want to like having sex, driving them around in my car, anything... I don't want to hurt other people's feelings and i am getting tired of being this way... Acting like I want to do something that i don't or being nice and sociable when i don't want to be... It's causing me to have panic attacks and feel like my life is going to be like this forever, but i want to be nice to people and i want to be seen as a good guy and not be the bad one.... I know i would never allow someone to hurt anyone or anything like that... I am just tired of being manipulated

  • I am gay. So, why don't guys like me but girls do?

    I know i am attractive. I am a male model for barbizon... So what the hell why are guys not attracted to me... Girls flock to me and one can't keep her damn hands off of me. So why don't they like me. Its easy to seduce them, even supposedly straight guys but when it comes to a relationship they just back away..... Maybe i am a bit too public with myself? or maybe they think i am cocky or arrogant.. I am nice to people and i believe treating others how you want to be treated.. maybe that's a turn off for them becuase i don't have an over inflated ego... at all i just want to know why guys don't find me attractive but girls do? Maybe i am suppose to be straight? (lol)

  • Why don't wiccans use created stones; wouldn't that process of creating them be like modern alchemy?

    I recently read a book that says if the item created that looks like the original item it does not have the same metaphysical properties as the nature created item; therefore, it lacks the power needed for its use. I recently brought a created sapphire, I brought it, because sapphire is suppose to help with skin disorders (i have actually a small case of acne because of my oily skin) the sapphire worked for me with in three days I noticed that most of my acne was going away, and my skin had a darker tent to it and the redness was going away too. I also know that alchemy is the taking of base metals and turning them into gold or trying to anyway. Knowing that taking the base materials (metals) which ultimately come from nature its self and creating the stone wouldn't that mean that it should work?

  • Please help me to identify this potentially poisonous spider?

    The spider in question has a red head, a yellow and black boy, and red front legs, supposedly this spider has its origins in the rain forest and tropical climates.

SO WHAT the HECK i have a picture taken by another person

  • why do i see sometimes human figures and then other times energy forms of dead people?

    Hi I am 19 years old I have been trying to speed up the development of my psychic gifts for almost 8 years now. They seem to still go at their own rate its fast but not enough for me (lol) and I for the life of me can't seem to understand why is it that i am able to see spirits sometimes as human beings then other times I see them as forms of energy.. I know i've been able to see other things that are not human before like auras. I know, i know that not many people can see spirits or clam to be able to this has been bugging me and the only other reason a friend came up with is, simply because I don't have enough associations with the images that i do see so they sometimes lack form or seem void to my brain. I know its the brain that's trying to interpret these signals from an outside source but this is getting on my nerves! (lol brain humor) . I just wanted to know if you all on Y! A have any ideas. Please if you don't know what a psychic is or don't believe they exist (yeah we do (lol)evidence of this by the wayand for ghost too (lol)) Please don't answer my question and i want to hear if you've had any paranormal experiences too. :*)

  • The Ethics of Religion?

    What concerns me is that most religion are completely about being against something in one form or another. Take these few for example Christianity, Judaism, Islam. The list goes on and on... Religion of course is suppose to teach its followers morality, however; in many regions i see this is not the case... Such as Christianity where the phrase " Thou Shalt not suffer a witch to live"... Then on the same page of the bible it reads "Love thy neighbor." So is loving thy neighbor killing them? of course it isn't. Then Islam teaches women and young girls to hide them selves. That they are submissive to their husbands every whelm this is actually considered a holy law which i hope is going to soon change! Yes Judaism is exactly the same the role of women is minimized.

    Even in Jewish mysticism is the role of women shown to be lesser than that of a man. With Solomon a great biblical figure with so many " concubines". Oh and as far as Islam go as in Surah 113 Day break it says at the end of a prayer to be recited "And protect me from strange women who blow on knots".... Now to the point of the matter why is a women positions so minimal compared to a mans or in other cultures and religions so much more grandiose than a mans.... Why don't people understand that it take both a male and female force to create life and that things are not just one sided, and finally why have people fought so long and hard over which one is better than the other.

    MY personal opinion is that all religions were equally on the same playing field they don't all have the answers no one can really know what lies beyond death because we're not dead! We don't know what or who lies beyond that white light. what i understand mostly is, that followers come into connection with a higher power that makes them feel that they are not alone, and that there is something to look forward to... Religion is a tool or an outlet for hope, but it can also be a tool for suffering for so many innocent people and if we didn't create our selves then what right do we have to undermine any ones role or position in life?
