- Stevie McSteverson asks:
- "My GF doesn't like my friends
or for me to hang out with them.
How do I handle this?"
- Don't hang out with them at the same time.
- You sneak out!
Just say, "I'll be back soon. I'm going to the store."
- If you still want to hang out with your friends,
just hang out with them, but don't let your girlfriend know.
- Invite your friends over and not telling her.
Just say, "Oh, sorry. I'm sick."
- Tell your friends to make your girlfriend like your friends.
- Make her friends your friends,
and kind of slide past the ones that you've got.
- Find a girlfriend who likes your friends.
- You're gonna have to choose one or the other.
One's got to go.
- You have your friends before you had your girlfriend,
so I think it's important for you to stick with your friends.
- Drop her. Cut her off instantly.
If she doesn't like your friends, she doesn't like you
'cause your friends are a reflection of you.
- Talk to her about it.
Figure out what the problem is with your friends,
and then, just ultimately, try to work it out.
- Just make sure you spend some time with her,
and some time with your friends.
If she's just trying to cut you off from your friends,
maybe you have to find another girlfriend.
- At some point you need to pick your friends over the girlfriend.
Bros before beautiful, amazing women.
That's how they say that, right?
- Vanessa Hall.
- "How can I be a Divergent?"
- I don't know what that is.
- I really don't know since I don't know what a Divergent is.
It sounds like something from The Hunger Games or Star Wars.
- Be yourself 'cause everyone is different in their own way.
- Be yourself.
The most cliché statement ever, I know,
but if you just give everybody 100% of who you are,
you are automatically a Divergent.
- Be courageous, brave, and not afraid to jump off of things.
- Think independently, enjoy your independent thought,
but don't express it too publicly, otherwise you could get hurt.
- You'd have to have five different skills balanced evenly,
and that's kind of unlikely,
so what you might want to do is just figure out,
"Okay, which skills from each group can I best use?"
And then that way you can be a Divergent.
- No but yeah asks:
- "I took a career test that tells me I should be a teacher,
but I'm not interested. What should I do?"
- Be a teacher! My wife's a teacher. She loves it.
- Give being a teacher a try for a few months.
If it doesn't work out, then take another career test or switch jobs.
- Don't become a teacher.
Don't become a teacher if you really don't love explaining things,
feeling frustrated, and love kids.
- You should take the test again and see what you could get again.
- You are allowed to be something that's not a teacher.
- Those tests don't run your life
and if you don't want to be a teacher, don't be a teacher.
- Choose what you wanna do
because a career test is just a test, and your career is your life.
- It might mean you have the qualities of being a leader,
or a teacher.
It doesn't mean you have to be in a classroom.
- Here's the deal on career tests:
it's just to kind of let you know what your strengths are,
and what you might possibly enjoy doing.
Now the thing is this: if you can be a teacher,
that means you have lots of skills.
And here's the deal: people who teach, they can do anything.
- Don't take a job as a teacher.
The test, it doesn't define your whole future.
It's not gonna be like this needs to be your career,
otherwise imminent death.
You can find another career.
Just figure out what you want to do and not what a test is telling you to do.
- Nikki Hadidi asks:
- "What do I do when I crave a donut, but I can't have one?"
- Oh my gosh. That is the worst thing ever.
- Immediately start thinking about something else.
- Get more sunlight.
More sunlight and more water, It's gonna take away your sugar cravings.
- Find something else to crave, like a plant based material.
- You sneak it. Sneak it in.
- Life's too short. Have the donut.
- I don't know why you can't have one.
Maybe you can't drive. Walk to the store.
- Call up a neighbor and be like, "Hey, take me to a donut shop right now."
- Make your own donut.
Or make a different dessert that tastes just like a donut.
- If you can't have a donut, have a cookie.
Have something sweet.
- You could have a cookie.
(laughs) Or you could have cake.
Or ice cream. Or chocolate.
- Try something similar like chocolate or some other sweet.
- If you can't go get one, then find the nearest bag of sugar
in your house, get a cookie covered in it, and eat that.
I think that would suffice.
- MISHARY wants to know:
- "How can I convince my parents to let me get a motorcycle?"
- Wow, can I really do this one?
- You can't. You're just gonna have to buy one.
- There's no real way to convince your parents to get a motorcycle
because everybody knows it's unbelievably dangerous.
- I really want a Vespa, but my parents are like,
"No, Sydney, you're gonna die.
You're not good at that kind of stuff."
Just wait until you can buy your own motorcycle.
- You should wait until you can afford your own motorcycle
because then if you're in an accident or something,
you can take care of yourself and your parents won't have to worry.
- Maybe if you start wearing helmets and leather jackets around all day
they'll get used to it.
- Do whatever your parents ask you to do.
Like, let's say, I don't know, "(sweetly) I'll do chores!
I'll do anything you want!"
- You have to say, "I'm a grown adult and I want this."
- Convince your parents that you're a good driver and that you're safe.
- Say, "I'm mature enough."
And try to pass your drivers test
more than one time to prove to your parents that it's okay.
- Start off by asking your parents for a scooter,
and then slowly work your way up to motorcycle.
- Talk about cost, 'cause parents love saving money,
and say that, "It's two wheels instead of four,
so that means automatically half the gas."
- Use facts, man. Just use facts.
Drop the numbers. Numbers don't lie.
