Hello, hola, bonjour, etc :). I'm a 21 year old African-American woman nicknamed Mimi. I am in my senior year of college, majoring and minoring in subjects unrelated to web/graphic design. Poetry is my anti-drug and as previously stated in the welcome message, I'm pretty random. Are you intrigued?

Basically, this page will have some random advice for you guys. :P

001. Always remember, you can not force someone to change who they truly are. So do not waste your time trying to because their motivation will need to come within.

002. Don't put all your time and effort into a relationship, when you know that you are the only one who is giving. It's supposed to be a 50/50 thing. Not one person is giving 99% and the other 1%.

003. Like the saying goes an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

004. If your significant other wants to have sex on a day to day basis, then maybe you need to analyze your relationship. Are you just there for sex or is it really something more? Don't stay with someone who only wants you for sex. What will that say about your character?

005. I know it seems like not matching your clothes is cool and it may be what's in. However, not everyone call pull it off... And even so, I still think they look stupid so just don't do it. Break this hideous trend!

006. Taking the new SAT's soon? Don't stress yourself. You're not penalized for answers left blank, so if you're not more than 50% sure, then don't answer it. However, don't leave an excessive amount of them blank. Also, visit this site for free online SAT Prep.

007. If you are trying to start your own site, the first thing you will need to know is basic HTML. You must learn that first before you move onto php. After you get the hang of things, you can ask someone to make a layout for you or you can learn to design your own but using an image editing program. Examples are: photoshop, paint shop pro, photoline, etc. Don't rely on HTML generators or web page builders for every single code, because they don't have them all.

008. Going to college soon? Need money for it? Sign up with fastwebs.com!! Remember, you should NEVER EVER pay to join a site that offers links to scholarships and or pay to obtain the scholarship itself. Scholarships and grants are free money. You don't have to pay! People, please take advantage of your opportunities. A lot of money goes unclaimed in scholarships because people don't apply for them. Anyone with sense would apply for them instead of having to take out loans and end up being in debt. APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS!!!

009. Ladies (using this term loosely), stop getting mad at men who whistle or holler at you when you are dressed whore-like. What I mean by whore-like is wearing the shortest mini skirt you can find, daisy dukes, or the tightest leggings, breasts just everywhere, and a pound of make up on your face! Don't expect a male to respect you when you are unable to respect yourself.

010. Fellas, learn how to control your anger. Enroll in a yoga course, write poems/songs, go to the gym do any and everything but hit a female because of your temper. That will not lead to any good.

011. Ladies, ladies, ladies! Do not jeopardize your life. Do not remain in an abusive relationship. If your man is hinting towards the overly-controlling type, then end the relationship now, before your body ends up in a duffel bag in the middle of nowhere. End the cycle, get help.

012. Want more hits? I am talking site wise people! The common thing to do is visit other bloggers and leaving meaningful comments. Most likely, they will return them unless they have this "I'm the sh!t" attitude about them. ADVERTISE YOUR SITE. Join topsites & button rotations. Whether you realize it or not, those sites can help you get hits, esp if they are well known sites. And also, make your blogs interesting and/or provide content for your visitor. You don't want to bore them away yanno?

013. Now this tip is really random. It's concerning hygiene. Don't use just ONE washcloth when cleansing your body. Seriously, do you want to wash your face with a cloth that you washed your butt with yesterday? Not cool. Instead, use 2-3 washcloths. Use one for your face and your face only. Use the 2nd one for the rest of your body. You can get a third one to strictly use for errmm your lower extremities.

014. Do not take photos of yourselves in a messy room. No one wants to see your dirty articles of clothing lying on the floor of an unkept room.

015. Be honest. If someone wants your honest opinion on something then give it to them, but try your best to do it in a nice and respectful manner. The truth may hurt, but no one likes being lied to.

016. Clean your tongue people! Please prevent this bad breath epidemic, brushing your teeth and flossing will not do the job. More info? See this article and refer to Myth #3.
