  Is all fair in love?

  I think it depends on how much you love someone. For example: would you sell your soul to be with the one you love? These bad things we do are really best summarized as that question, applied to a real, measurable consequence. I think I would, if I found “Her”. You know, the One.

  How long after eating can you exercise, say on a treadmill?

  @linsey If you’re trying to burn off the most fat… you should exercise both before AND after. ... but seriously, i would have to say that it probably doesn’t matter much. The only thing is: the topic is on “How long after eating can you exercise”... indicating that you should probably not exercise right after eating.

  Can you help motivate me?

  My trick (although a vacation/injury/unexpected event/etc may cause you to stop for an extra week… or three, than it should) is a routine. My body used to KNOW that at this time, every day (or after this class, or whatever) we were going for a run, and after the run, we were going to do situps. And if it’s raining, that’s too damn bad, and we’re running anyway. If it’s 100 degrees out and humid… we’re going running anyway, and hoping to god someone has sprinklers on. (By we, I mean my reluctant mind, and the body that will carry out this order regardless of what I want) Unfortunately, i guess this doesn’t address the issue of starting up again. For that, I usually SIGHHHH, then wait for a day that has REALLY good weather… so good that I’ll miss running, and start up again.

  How can I become one of those Geeks who can do VERY well on exams without much efforts?

  I’m a “don’t study, and Ace it” person… or at least i was in high school. For one, I’ll start by saying that much of it is genetics. Asian blood never hurt, and asian blood comes from asian parents (who, stereotypically, think that an A- is failing, and a 1500 on the SAT is NOT GOOD ENOUGH). Being smart/successful is part of my culture, and even though I really didn’t work on it, I still paid attention in class, and if there was something that didn’t make sense to me, I made sure it did… eventually. 90% of stuff, I got on the first time, and American high schools generally repeat it 3–1000 times. For two, this might sound ridiculous, but I think being healthy helps… A LOT. When I don’t sleep enough, I do worse, and when I don’t eat right, I get distracted easier, and If I don’t have the dedication to myself to keep my body in shape… why would i expect my mind to be in shape? It might just be me though. Also, drug/alcohol use obviously isn’t helping too much. When you’re young, you can probably shrug off any negatives, but over time you’ll probably start going downhill. (at least, that’s what I’m saying to myself… while I’m still young) Third: It’s more of a mindset than anything else, i think. If you have the type of mind that can understand calculus the first time you hear it, join the club. If you can’t… well, there’s a club for that too. It’s never hurt me (until quantum physics, at least), that everything is very quickly and easily put into mental pictures. For my mathy friends, things are put into formal logic terms or graphs. For the people I know that have worked their asses off, starting with learning the alphabet and everything more advanced: everything is meaningless until at least an hour of time goes into it. If it doesn’t mean ANYTHING… you might be having problems. (*something interesting: if you learn even a little bit of latin, TONS of stuff suddenly makes a whole lot more sense. I picked it up by hanging out with some of the nerdiest people ever, and because it’s listed along with definitions on the family dictionary… and I got a huge headstart on all of biology, English, and Spanish.) Fourth: curiosity… does not kill. IT WASTES TIME (oh, god does it waste time). And, sometimes, that wasted time turns out to be useful for something later on. If you don’t know a word, guess, critique your guess, look it up, and then critique your guess again. I guess that this is kind of an extension of 3. Also, it bothers me that 90% of people don’t do this sort of thing. If you think something that’s kind of fishy, figure out why. (EXAMPLE. Once, my friends made fun of me for talking to a fortuneteller for about 20 minutes. They said “everyone knows those things are just scams…”. For me, the logical reply is, “ok, say they scam someone who thinks that it’s real… so they learn it and practice it. Eventually, they’ll start up their own business… and because they once got scammed, they have become a true-believer in the art of fortunetelling. The logical outcome of you being right… is you being wrong!”) Think of the logical outcome from the presented information. If A, then B, and If B, then C, means that If A, then C. (beware of bad logic though. Also, it turns out that Wikipedia is a pretty terrible place to learn logic and math… find something else.) Thinking in if-then conditional statements is kind of obnoxious, because a lot of times you’ll hit a “i’d need more data…” And by “a lot” i mean 99% of the time. And also, it’s pretty impossible to remember all your side-thoughts. And also, You’ll generally think about random shit that nobody cares about. And also, a lot of the time, you’ll be unable to prove your theories (but, when you meet an expert on that field, you’ll find yourself either drawing a complete blank, or pouring out about 1000 unrelated questions that make them look at you like you’re crazy.) Fifth: It’s not a recommended lifestyle. People will think you have too much time on your hands. You might actually have too much time on your hands. Also, you never learn how to study, and when you get to college, and suddenly have to actually learn something on your own, instead of just sit around while the teacher tells everyone around you how to do it 1000 times, you’ll be like “wtf is studying???” IN CONCLUSION, because i’ve been typing a lot more than I meant to… In high school, it’s definitely easy to be “one of those people”, especially if it’s in either your blood, brain, or culture (upbringing, mostly). Not recommended, because you’ll end up pretty lazy. Also, I want to go ahead and refute the claim that you’ll not have a social life. Who do you think the dumb people are gonna study with? And if you’re not studying ever, you tend to have free time like ridiculous… Also, even the smart, shy people want to have friends. Also, a lot of nerds are good looking.
