Northeastern is by no means a cheap school either, maybe you need to find a cheaper place to live outside the city further or cheaper rent. I'm paying loans back too right now and with the little money i make i know i couldnt afford to live in a city unless i was making good money, but with loans and all the other bills I'am now responsible for it is hard.

My mom isn't very religious. On my Dad's side he is a practicing Catholic. I know my aunt worries about me that I don't go to mass. My Dad wished I did, and encourages me when I think about it, but for the most part, religion in my family is pretty private. My wife's family is Catholic, though she is a solitary pagan. Her grandparents gave her a hard time when we didn't get married in a church, and didn't baptise...

Thanks hoodie, glad you could give me some perspective. I haven't been lounging around the house by any means, in fact I have been busier now only because my work had become routine. E.g. I've been on an interview, been sending out resume's and networking...so I've productive and not just navel-gazing, heh. lol I think initially I was just "shocked", trying to decide where to start - things were daunting,...

As someone who's described himself as an agnostic atheist for several years I figure I can explain this. An agnostic atheist is someone who would state that they do not believe in a deity but would not outright claim that one does not exist. You can be a agnostic and still believe in a god. Being an agnostic then, whatever you...

I totally agree with what Rage said, and I would never not date a guy because he didn't have many friends. I know some great people who don't have a lot of friends, and this often has nothing to do with them, but rather is due to other circumstances, like moving around frequently, having been in a serious relationship for a while, etc. My only problem would be that I enjoy being with my friends without my boyfriend (not always, of...

Quote: Originally Posted by Rage I suggested NH because although just as cold as Boston, the cost of living is less, and she could still be close to family. The thing about New Englanders is we like to bitch about the weather. It's part of who we are ... Ha ha, you're spot on about New Englanders. I still occasionally complain about the weather (especially just coming back up from Florida this weekend), and I think it's cold....

Quote: Originally Posted by fuzmiq I understand this completely. I am in that loan-paying process now. It's no fun and no one really explains the responsibility of it all. I really appreciate your saying that. I think that it is way too easy to take out loans considering it really doesn't feel like real money when you're 18 and it will be 4 or 5 years before you have to start paying it back. And at the school I went to, if you...

My officemate is one of those Gideon bible dudes that pass...
