Answer: If your boyfriend went away to college and youre not sure you should keep seeing each other or if it will work out then it sounds like you have doubts to begin with. Give it time, college just started. Answer: Life goes on! You can still be good friends. I mean who knows, maybe you two will find each other in another life.

Clearfield, ously. Why dont you just be friends, because you are both involved m different things and going to different schools and wouldn't be able to see each other very much anyway. You'll meet to date many other people so you can get to know others and not stick to one person. Answer: You are in high school and he is in college. You have your group of friends and he has his. Keep him as a friend, but don't worry about him or expect him to still be your boyfriend. Live your life as normally as possible, and you see him if you see him and you dont if you don't. In class I can never finish my homework. I have to work late and never get a chance to work on it again. I cant quit my job, what should I do? Answer: Plan ahead with your homework schedule. If you have a class that is not required, request that you be put on a study schedule in the library during that class. This should provide ample time for the studying you will miss during your job. Answer: You shouldnt expect to finish homework in class. Besides, an education is infinitely e more beneficial than a job in high school Quit the job anyway, school will pay off later. Answer: Plan a time schedule where you have a certain amount of time specifically for doing homework and stick to your schedule.
