Bais Yaakov maydel

thanks, intellegent

i think youre right. our new year was 3 months ago.

you know, i was wondering if there would be one of those people that would go, “i told you so….!”

mango-girl, (ive come to accept that i was wrong–i find that easier ever since i joined YWN!)

sometimes it is worth it to pull an all-nighter (unless it’s used to post on YWN). but sometimes you have to be the judge and tell yourself, it’s okay if i only get a ____% and not a ____%. and instead use the extra time for some other work. you have to choose between subjects, dont put all your energy into one topic/subject and leave no room for another. unless it’s vitally important for you to do extremely well in everything.

because, like oomis1105 said, it’s temporary and your grades probably won’t affect your entire life/future ( but dont go and get 65s!! lol)

was that the study about the people who had to administer electric shocks to people who answered questions wrongly? i learned that in one of my psych classes….

in this case, bad: because inflicting pain, every time answer=wrong, the shock gets stronger (25-400 volts), and since they really believe theyre torturing someone, because they hear someone screaming, i would consider them animals. if i remember correctly, 70% of these administrators of the shocks kept going and didnt refuse to shock someone.

other cases, theyre all dependent on what kind of situation it is!

exactly, but you also won’t get a panicked feeling or be scared BECAUSE you know it’s the best thing for you. if you’re about to crash into another car, your heart wont start to pound because instinctively, you know that this is the best for you. that would make you a true ba’al bitachon. thats why i mentioned before that bitachon can take years to develop.

feif un, bitachon is in essence not only knowing that whatever Hashem is doing id=s for your best, but also never being nervous or afraid of anything BECAUSE of this knowledge. this can take a few years. the intellectual and emotional part of you clash, and its hard to reconcile both of them.

postsemgirl:

i dont think sem is brainwashing. i think sem is a strong influence on the right things. brainwashing=negative, so why would we go to seminary?

when youre answering posts minute by minute and start wondering after 2 minutes where your posts went. mods??

who’s “their?” seminary cottage cheese i dont know about, but in general israeli cottage cheese–everything is different about it–the texture, the taste…its the best. you want a specific place?? lol

*ahem* myself being a young lady, i still voted that Mango is a guy.

i took ap psych last year, which is basically intro to psych. it could go either way really depending on how you interpret a mango.

that sounded weird. who ever heard of interpreting mangos lol

hm maybe when i get back from sem ill change my user name to “Kallak Maydel”

i cant believe what i just did. i actually got up and looked out the window. this should be on the “you know youre spending too much time in the ywn cr when….”

anyway i dont see anything its too dark. is it snowing? are there fireworks? lol

hm good question…is it more of a guys type to use mango as a username or more of a girls type?

who wants to analyze it.

or maybe for convenience’s sake lets jusk ask. mango?

well sem is not exactly known for having the best food lol im being very selective in where im applying…lol jk

when you crash and dont go onto YWN for a week and find yourself wondering how youre managing without YWN…and when you finally get back on when you finally have some spare time when you finally have a day off–happy new years e/o and hi again–

i knew it.

i guess i would call myself noitallms?

getting heated in here…

maybe we should focus our desires for explosions on people like those hamas leaders and followers in the ME and not each other lol

beacon, ive never heard of “hating” a word lol but if you listen to yourself say the sentence out loud, it will sound ridiculous. i guess typing it is different 🙂

different strokes for different folks.

for some people, sports is one of the few “kosher” outlets. for some people, sports is not kosher to begin with.

you decide what level youre on.

i think its pathetic when yeshiva boys come home just to watch the superbowl [IT HAPPENS] not just because of the definitely-not-kosher-ads, but also because sports for many boys is an obsession, and i think an obsession with anything is PURE AVODAH ZARA. an obsession with a player, or a team, is an insane idea. it doesnt make sense logically, when you think about it. the only obsession we should be having is with Torah and limud haTorah.

btw, were not talking addiction here. different story for a differnet thread.

inst spring valley in baltimore? i have friends in that school.

weather related:

–“Don’t knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn’t start a conversation if it didn’t change once in a while.” -Kin Hubbard

–All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and the afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and places and how the weather was. -Ernest Hemingway

mods, didnt see #2 on page 1-if my previous post was considered negative, please delete it but dont close the thread. agreed, deleted. YW Moderator-72

Passaic: excellent yeshivah, top rate learning and top rate bochurim, the R’Y (R’__Stern?) is great from what i hear. should definitely be an option!

considered more to the yeshivish side

you know i really like hearts of palm.

and sweet potato sushi. and anything else sweet potato for that matter.

and pickles but only the crunchy ones (dills are always crunchy!)–and israeli pickles–not the canned ones though

little bit if advice, surprisingly useful VERY often: check the ticket that it has the correct date and your name is spelled right…many times the cops dont get it right, happened to someone i know and she got off, happened to my sister also for the wrong date and she got off.

im not stating an opinion on whether or not we should fight tickets, this is just for all those out there who dont mind trying to get off the hook 🙂

–ALSO if youre using a munimeter, check where you put the ticket…i by mistake just put it on the dashboard when it was upside down without noticing….got my first(and so far only lol) ticket that way.

oh and no cops are put on rainy or bad weather days

thanks! its a great idea

thank you jphone that is very helpful.

i agree with oomis1105 i havent been on in a few days and i felt i had to check up on the CR now just to see peoples reactions, talk about things anonymously…if used in the right way it can help

bklyn19, it wasnt eichlers:) nice try though
