Just turned 21

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right section but oh well. I turned 21 yesterday.

Are my early 20's supposed to be the best years of my life? I'm (somewhat) unburdened by big responsibilities, I'm young, I'm free.

But because I have yet to establish myself, I'm also so insecure, I don't know who I am and I don't understand who I am. I dont know what I want, I don't have dreams, I don't have goals. I hate feeling so lost and unsure and unstable. And I'm so lonely I hate it.

Had a little taste of real life as an adult and I feel like I've already become jaded and so pessimistic about life.

Anyway, rant over. Maybe it's because it's 3am+ and I'm becoming more and more emo lol.

So my question is: what advice would you give a 21 year old? Or what advice would you give to your 21 year old self? It would be nice if you would share your life experiences. I'm interested to read them all.

What have you always wanted to do?

What are the things that you've always wanted to do or achieve in your life but never did because you didn't have the capabilities, guts or opportunity?

I'll start first.
1. Master playing a musical instrument.
2. Join the army.
3. Sing in front of a crowd.

Is deodorant harmful?

I use deodorant every day. Day & night. People have been telling me that it can cause cancer and all, because of the aluminium.

However, the thing is, I can't do without it! I have bad body odour. Like, real bad. I can't stand the way I smell without deodorant.

Also, I sweat a lot from the head and armpits. I start sweating even while walking. It's so annoying! Is it normal? I don't think I have hyperhidrosis though. My hands and feet stay perfectly dry, thank god!

Anyway, my question is, are there any alternatives to combat body odour other than using deodorant? Do share.

Thank you.

Please help me remove isearch.claro-search.com

Hello,

I must have downloaded something and now whenever I open a new tab in all my browsers this claro search link come out.
I think I got infected with this browser hijacker isearch.claro-search.com

I've been trying to remove it the whole day yesterday but nothing works.

I followed this >> http://www.im-infected.com/hijacker/claro-search-com.html
I went in add/remove programs, uninstalled isearch.claro-search.com. I also removed it from all my browsers (IE, Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox). I re-opened all of those browsers and there it was again.

Next, I downloaded and ran Kaspersky TDSSkiller but it found nothing useful.

Then I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it removed some stuff (I forgot what) but the claro search thing is still there when I open Firefox.

I tried some other stuff too but I kinda forgot what they were. All I know that the problem still persists..

I googled quite a lot of solutions but some of them are complicated computer stuff and I don't know how to handle it. I'm scared I'll mess up my laptop since I'm not good in all this computer stuff.

I'm getting desperated and frustrated.. From what I read this hijacker is harmful and difficult to remove.
I really hope someone can help me on this. Thank you in advance.

Hello LYN book readers!

Out of curiosity, do you prefer buying books or borrowing books? Why?

What gift to give for my coach?

blueflame — Mon, 28 May 2012 09:16:16 +0800

Hi all!
Me and my softball team wish to give a gift to our softball coach who helped us win the competition.
He is a middle aged guy who has a serious personality. He insists that he doesn't need anything but of course we still want to give him something as a token of our appreciation.

I'm guessing something practical would be good. Last year, we gave him a hamper. I think that's the best gift because it's practical and affordable. Do you guys think it's okay to give the same gift as last year?
Do you guys have any other suggestions?
Our budget is maximum RM300.

Thank you in advance for all your suggestions!
