going back to college?
Favourite answer:Ten years is a long time. Get ahold of a counselor at the college and meet with him/her. Explain you are more serious about things now and want to pick up where you left off. Not to be cynical, but they will happily take your money.
Don't worry about the old you. Most of the limits we face are what we put on ourselves. I had a part time job from my Junior year in high school through 2 years at a vocational school that was a quarterly schedule (not semesters, meaning no summer break). My school/work days were 10-12 hours long for 4 years. After I got my Associate's degree with good, but not great, grades at age 20, I was sick of school. After a few years though, I realized I needed to go get my Bachelor's degree. I put if off for 3 or 4 years thinking I was "too old" to go back to school, a limit I put on myself. Finally, at the ripe old age of 27, I decided to do it. I was already working in the field of my choice full time so I had to go at night. Almost none of my Vocational credits transferred and I basically had to start completely over. I could have used that as an excuse and quit (another limit I would have placed on myself), but didn't. Meanwhile I got married and started a family. That would have been a good excuse to quit and no one would have blamed me, but I didn't put that limit on myself either. It was hard work to balance a full time job, night school, and a family. It took 10 years to get a 4 year degree, but I did it. And with almost perfect grades (only one "B" in 10 years, Dean's List every semester, University President's Award for Academic Excellence finalist...one of six out of over 400 seniors who were eligible).
You can do it.

Why is the word sh*t considered a swear word? ?
Favourite answer:It is a swear word because society has decided it is a swear word. In other countries, it may not be. For example, "bloody" in England is a swear word for most, but in the USA, few consider it a swear word.

My mom doesn’t want me going to community college!?
I’m currently a junior in high school, and my mom doesn’t like the idea of me going to community college she says the community college is the worst thing you can do and that I should go to the big university/college. I’m telling her I don’t want to rack up debt and I want to start my career sooner (i’m looking at two fields respiratory therapist and dental hygienist). She says that a community college (associates degree) degree is not a degree. I’m telling her those are trades, that every field has trades, such automotive (mechanic) construction (Carpenter), etc. does anyone have advice on what I can say any thoughts opinions leave them down below!

Do these sentences mean the same thing?
Favourite answer:Not really, only in minor detail. The bag might not be a packet, but a small packet is usually also called a bag. A large packet will not be a bag, usually. box or a carton, or something along those lines, but no longer a bag. Bags themselves are not necessarily closed and sealed (they can be; do not have to be), but that is what we think when we call it a packet.
Most of us would say "a bag of nuts" even if the term "packet" would be a better or more precise description. We would be talking about exactly the same thing though, whether we said bag or packet. This is probably partly because peanuts (and other such things like loose candies) were only sold in bags until the plastics revolution allowed prepackaging in packets. It is sort of like how we still say dial a phone even if there are no longer any dials to dial.
Packet means sealed, as a very general idea. If it is not sealed, it is not really a packet.

Is the letter "Y" a vowel?
Favourite answer:The letter “Y” (as I’m sure you really know) is NOT one of the FIVE vowels in the English language.
However, it plays a part in the construction of diphthongs which give a vowel sound as though two vowels are joined together.
For example, “OY” as in boy or toy, or “EY” in monkey which sounds as though two letter E’s are conjoined.
Your question is valid, but it is a point that most people do not think about the value of “Y” in the English language and it’s enhancement effect on the five vowels.
It can however substitute for a vowel at times, which is where confusion can occur.
English school reference books will often state that “every word contains a vowel”.
Mostly, it is this phrase that is remembered, but “Y” can substitute and break this rule.
For example, there is no actual vowel in words such as “dry”, “fry”, “my”, “shy”, to name just a few.
If as I suspect, English is not your first language, you should be aware that it has these little inconsistencies in it.
And you should not listen to the ranting of some of these other respondents.
There are many people who supposedly speak English, both in the UK and the USA, who are incapable of stringing more than four words together to make a readable sentence.

Undergraduate vs graduate vs postgraduate?
In the US, do these different types of students attend the same departments? I have visited several websites of American universities and I have the impression that graduate "schools" are somehow separate from undergraduate "colleges". Is that always the case.
