Reply to LPT Request: I am a recent gradute looking for work. It seems applying for jobs on sites like LinkedIn is a lost cause. by [deleted]
I had better experience going directly to the company website and applying directly rather than going through an of the big online job factories. Job fairs are a better source too.

Yes. Florida requires 40 hours of driving time, which gets you pretty qualified. The real challenge is getting a driving instructor on board with your excellerated timeline. There's also the written test. Read the manual two or three times (slow read, reading all the illustration captions and all. Not speed read.)

Stay up late, past what is comfortable, Sleep in and nap during the days leading up to when you start your night shift. I tended to keep my sleep schedule on my days off. Black out curtains absolutely necessary. A fan or white noise helps with day time activity.
Food schedules just work themselves out. You may find yourself socializing with other night shift workers, though the bars and clubs are not going to be for thing.

Don't try to be interesting, try to be interested in them. Focus on asking good questions instead of telling good stories.

Reply to LPT Request: How can I actually grow taller? by korggyy
I feel for you about getting bullied and teased about your height. Unfortunately, it's not really about your height: a bully will just torture you over anything, so getting taller won't help. It's the same for good nature teasing, too. They will. Just shift to teasing you About your feet or ears or haircut.
I know its not what you want to hear, but wait and let nature do is thing. If there was anything that actually worked, it wouldn't be a secret: it would be as well known as viagra and someone would be making money hand over fist selling it.
Just make sure you don't stunt your growth: which it sounds like you are already doing, eating healthy and exercising. Stay away from chemicals that might confuse or shut down your growth plates. Look at your father and uncle on both sides of the family. You might get a few inches in them with healthy living, but ultimately that's your expected range.

Very early in your tenure, find out what their pain points and annoyances are and either make them go away or help them understand why you can't. Sometimes it's really simple things, like not having access to the best/closest printers, or BS excess process. Once they see you as someone they can go to with their problems, you are the boss.

Put it on flashcards. Or rather, write in longhand with a pen or pencil your important notes. The act of writing it out embeds it deeper in your memory than reading or typing it. You don't have to use the flash cards, though they can help you identify the areas you need to focus on, i.e. read it and write it again. Or sing it, or recite it while dancing.
Math, you just have to keep practicing. Find more problems online to practice, do it on paper with a pencil.

Counter stress: do something very different on weekends or better yet on vacation/ holiday. Camping, volunteering, travel. So when you get back into the routine of school/ work it's a relief to be back with familiar routines.

Reply to LPT: If you’re worried about visible pit sweat, try putting panty liners (thin pads) on the inside of your shirt to absorb it and prevent it from leaking through. Thin, absorbent, soft, flexible, disposable, cheap. by MaybeIShouldntPostIt
Or splurge for the dress shields that are hinged and shaped to fit under your arms comfortably. (They are about the same price.)

Shift over to thinking about your book or fan fiction that you're going to write. Not the prose at first, but the story line, the character development, the world stage, the rules of the magic.
