I graduated from college in a small town about a year ago. I landed a good job in the same town as the college, so I still hang out with a lot of my college friends and they come to my house and spend time. A lot of people would consider me pretty popular for being a graduate. Lately, however, it feels like I’ve not been in contact with my friends as often and they have been entering other social circles and we’ve grown someone apart.
It’s hard to make new friends outside of the college here because my town doesn’t have a lot of people my age in it.
An easy solution that I have considered, one that will gain me new friends and renew my relationship with my older friends, is to jump back into the college social life and start making plans with people/attending social events/trying to meet new people at the college. But to me, this just feels weird, and makes me feel like people would consider me weird since I don’t attend classes there any longer, and I don’t want to feel like the person ‘who can’t let his college years go’ even through I graduated there last year.
But this seems like the only option, as our small town is rural, there aren’t a lot of people my age around, and there are no real community events or chances to meet people my age who aren’t affiliated with the college.
Should I go back into the college social life?

Like I said above I am 17. My boyfriend (who is 23) and I have been living together for about 5 months with his friend as roommates. The thing is that the owner of the home is a personal friend and not affiliated with a professional business, it is her personal house she just lives somewhere else so I am not on the lease here. We are looking to move out into our own place and I was wondering if I can be on the lease considering that I am 17? Can a parent co-sign for me? Can I live there with him without being on the lease but still paying rent? Any additional info would be great.
And please don’t rant about how hard it is to live on your own and what not. I understand this obviously…I have been moved out of my parents house for 5 months. I have recently got a part time job and am looking for another full time position leaving me at about 55 hours a week.
Also I don’t need to hear it about how I am naive and he is too old for me, he’s just using me, ect. We work great together as a team, my parents like him and are ok with this. Nor is he taking advantage of me. I have been in a 3 year relationship full of abuse and been taken advantage of before and I did learn a lot from it. So please…before you go being an aarogant twit and think just because I am young I am ignorant to the world. Being as young as I am I’ve seen and been through quite a lot of enlightening experiences and still learning every day(:
Much appreciated

Me and my brother are starting a house/flat lettings agency. We are aiming to target a niche market, the DSS, pets, etc property hunter.
Currently I work as an insurance broker, as such I have a good knowledge of financial obligations that we will need to fulfill.
Really I am only looking for any additional advice that anybody may have, such things as approaching potential landlords, getting them to accept DSS, etc.
Thank you in advance!
(please, no off putting replies, I have decided on the nature of the company and have no doubts about what I am going to aim to accept)

The Assassin crept softly and slowly along the stone brick pavement until he found his destination. Even with the darkness of the night sky and the countless amounts of Askarv guards patrolling the streets it was practically child’s play for him to find exactly what he was looking for. The Assassin had been watching his target in secret for days and observing his every movement every second of the day; it was absolutely vital for this to take place so as to make sure the contract the Assassin had been issued was indeed valid and suitable to execute. As the contract issued the target would take random citizens from around the town (mostly looking like beggars and whores) and then take them back into his home in which they would not been seen again. The guards had picked up on his continuous guests not but yesterday somehow and the Assassin watched cautiously from a distance, unfortunately for him however, they came out with nothing and left without so much as a backwards glance. The word went around that the target had told the guards the guests had left in a hurry and that they were merely only friends of his. The Assassin knew this was in fact a lie as he had had keep constant surveillance over the house without so much as a wink of sleep and seen no one leave the house apart from the target to of course pick up more of his *friends*. Based on that information, it was time to act.
Shrouded by shadow, the Assassin stepped up to the wooden doorframe of the targets house and searched around in his black leather chaps for a lock pick. He swiftly plucked one from within the many other objects and moved forwards to insert the device into the locking mechanism. With a few seconds works and a few gentle clicks the cylinders inside the mechanism sprung up and the lock opened; he took no time in waiting and gently opened the door, stepping out of the cold darkness, and into the stranger’s house.
The Assassin gently shut the door, trying making as little noise as possible before turning around to take in his surroundings. The house contained a large living room with a giant golden oak table set down in the middle of it, they were also a pair of marble staircases at opposite sides of the room; the closest leading to the landing upstairs and the furthest leading down into what the Assassin assumed was the cellar. Thanks to the small amount of moonlight shining through the small square windows and the months of training that had attuned the Assassins eyes to the darkness, he could see almost perfectly.
A number of purple coloured bottles and ale bottles lay tipped over on the golden oak table, drained of any substance that were once inside. The Assassin recognised the purple bottles immediately for exactly what they were; bottles of a dangerous substance called Vaqinsh. It was strange liquor made from a rare weed only found in the realm of Rasheeth and caused dazzling effects to the consumer. The drinker would feel immense happiness and comfort upon drinking but after time angry and disoriented. Abusing the drink could cause the negative effects to get even worse and cause brain deformity and even madness. The substance was banned a while back because of these effects but somehow still managed to make its way onto the black market, the target must have had contacts. They was nothing else too unusual about the room apart from a bloody meat cleaver and a little brown sack on the wooden bench at the far end of the room; the Assassin hoped with all his might that the cleaver hadn’t been used on a human being. The Assassin walked over and picked up the little brown sack, it was rather heavy and jingled when it was shaken. Upon further inquiry it appeared the sack contained a large amount of large amount of gold coins, the man had to have been a rich bastard to simply leave a sack of gold coins lying around. The Assassin pocketed the sack of coins and quietly tip toed up the marble staircase and up onto the landing. The landing was incredibly dark even for the Assassins attuned eyesight as they were no windows for the moonlight to shine through. The landing contained a remotely smaller marble staircase that lead up to a wooden hatch in the celling. The target must have indeed been infatuated with the black market trading as only the incredibly wealthy were able to afford such construction. The landing also contained another doorway that was more than likely the entrance to targets bedroom. The Assassin took in a giant breath and stepped towards the doorway, if the Target was indeed asleep then he would have to kill him as quick as possible, the Assassin had never been caught before, and he wasn’t planning on getting caught now. Placing one hand on the doorframe and one around his sharp dagger, the Assassin pushed open the wooden doorframe and stepped inside the dark room.

Your Open Question: Feeling super down about coming back from my vacation…please help.?
A week ago I went to stay with my brother and his wife for a week in Seattle, Washington. My brother is like 18 years older than me, I’m 14, and so we are close but not super close. I hardly ever get to see them (I mean once every 3 years or more) so I was really looking forward to this trip. After getting there, everything was amazing. It couldn’t have gone better. I got closer to my brother than ever before, got to know his wife, and got a grand tour of Seattle. I loved everything so much, I want to move to Seattle when I grow up. It was the best vacation I ever had in my life, and I was beginning to actually get into the niche of life at his house. Well, today I flew back to hot old Texas and just got home. I am so depressed and sad, I tear up every minute. I miss everything, and it makes it so hard to know I won’t see them for a long time, and we never keep in touch much. I have jet lag too, which makes everything worse. I just can’t stop thinking about how I had a wonderful time and how much I miss my brother and stuff. So, any tips? Is this normal?
