Open Question: Do you think I would get into UF?
I have an unweighted GPA of 4.0, and I am also taking Advanced Placement and Honors classes. I have taken 6 years of Spanish but I am only in Spanish 5 not 6. I go to one of the best high schools in the state of Florida and I am in National Honor Society, Students Against Drunk Driving, Drama Club and have been in chorus and musical theatre all four years. I also play tennis for the school and have done powder puff. I haven't had any disciplinary or attendance problems and I have passed all my FCAT's with 4s and 5s. Would that get me into UF? Because I have so much pressure on me to be a third generation there and I know its hard to get in and I just want to make sure that I do. Thanks!

Open Question: Can anyone explain why do guys go from being skinny to having muscles?
I have a good acquaintance who was average skinny around his mid 40's (when I 1st met him). The last time I met up w/ him again which was back in 2005 he was around his early 50's & he had muscles. I don't understand if a guy who's reasonably skinny can go from someone skinny looking like Tom Hanks or maybe even Tom Cruise in "Risky Business" & then go to someone w/ muscles like Patrick Swayze or George Clooney. Why do guys/men do this??
This acquaintance of mine is Artsy (he went to Art College) & is also a musician. During his whole life even though he's a good acquaintance of mine (We just hit it off. There is No Romance involved) we have some things in common. We're both musicians & we're both have culture or like other forms of "art" (that is, besides music). I know now he's not that Artsy anymore b/c he's been playing & hanging around w/ his "crew"(who's not Artsy) on tour. When I met him & b/f I met him he had that "Artsy" look meaning that "Tom Hanks" & Tom Cruise average skinny look (& I'm not talking about too skinny like someone who has Anorexia) & now he has muscles like Patrick Swayze & George Clooney (I also mention George Clooney b/c George Clooney looks like he's around his 50's too). & also I heard that his new finance said to him "I Like You BETTER THIS WAY". WHAT??!!! What is She TALKING about?? He, too, is a musician & was Never Fat OR Anorexic. What b/c he was/is (I don't know if he still is, maybe not all that much these days.) Artsy??!! He Did Workout & the gym like on the Bike.
On the other hand, if you're an athlete like a good friend that I had back in college is a tennis player. He too, was good looking skinny like a Tom Hanks figure & then when my friend went to a Tennis Academy in Florida he too changed & got muscles, BUT I Can Understand this b/c my friend's an athlete & athletes have to stay in shape for their sport.
So, why do men/guys do this (& I'm NOT referring to my athlete friend back in college)?? I feel that my acquaintance looked good in the 1st place OR that guys/men in general look good in the 1st place. I mean, my friend, Pete the athlete did. He had a good figure - he wasn't fat & neither is my good acquaintance. So, why do men/guys do this (go from being skinny to having muscles)?
Both of these guys/men were never fat, but I'm really curious to know. I'd like to Understand why. Please explain. I think they both look good in general even WITHOUT Muscles.

Open Question: Would we Make a good couple?
Ok so there's this guy in my 1st period English class and he sits in front of me. I really like him and I think he likes me too. So we talk all the time and we always get in trouble cuz we can't shut up during class. Were both were both 14 but he's 4 months older than me. I'll explain myself first I'm white and 5 foot 5 and weigh 115ish I have kinda long curly brown hair with natural blonde highlights on top from the sun. I have really dark dark brown eyes like almost black lol an olive skin. I'm always hyper and I can laugh at myself if I so something stupid. I love to joke around and be goofy but I can be serious too. I play volleyball and work out everyday for offseason at school. I'm sporty but I DONT dress in guy clothes and wear my hair up everyday. I wear my hair down and wear girly clothes mostly but I sumtimes wear sweats. I'm a really really outgoing and ...straightforward I guess. And really sociable. :P
ok and they guy I likes name is...well I'll call him Scott. He's whasian (white and Asian mix) but looks more white than Asian. He has light brown straight hair and light brown eyes. He's probably 5 foot 7 1/2. Idk his wieght but he's not overweight. He's really really really sweet. He dresses like a normal guy lik jeans and tshirt. He plays tennis. He's really funny and jokes around with me alot. And I do the same. He's really outgoing also. He can laugh at himself too cuz he faceplanted in class when he tripped on his bookbag. Lololol. O ya he's from California and I'm from Florida and we both love to go to the beach and we both surf. Were planning a trip this summer to go Florida and surf like non stop! And we both have really loud obnoxious laughs which is really funny to listen to when were goofing around.
I really like him. My friends say that I flirt with him alot. And they say he flirts back. I can't really tell though. So I was wondering what y'all think. Do we sound like a good couple? Were not yet but I'm hoping we will be really soon! Fingers crossed.

Resolved Question: i'm in love with a girl on the internet?
I need help, i'm in love with a girl i have known online for 2 years. When i think about who i wanna marry only she comes to mind. I'm a good looking guy and i can get just about any girl i want but she is the one i truly love. i'm in texas and she's in rhode island.
We actually met for the 1st time in San Antonio earlier this January and it was so much fun I can't even express it into words...just sheer bliss being w/her, time just flew by, it was the same for her too....well Its not Feburary 18th and its making me sick that I love this girl more than ever now and don't even look at other girls. I feel like i'm in a trap and i can't escape, a love trap. I mean I don't know what to do...how do i express my feelings through typing, (i mean i could call her, we have each others #s) but still...i just feel hopeless...I just want to cry right now but i can't. I want to marry this girl, we are the perfect match. She actually asked me to move in with her when she graduates as she wants to move to Florida for an entire year as a lifestyle change and I would love to but I have so many liabilities here.
I also feel like i can't focus when she's online....all i wanna do is chat w/her, but i have recently stopped messaging her as i realize that i message her 90% of the time 1st.,..it kills me not to msg her 1st but i think if she really liked me she would message me 1st. i know it sounds silly but i don't wanna be the chaser too much...well i miss her so bad and i truly am in love with this girl. She plays tennis and i play tennis, she's gorgeous and we're both classy people. I mean i would love to have her in my life, but i don't know if its conceivable....any advice would be appreciated
