Im going to New yourk for new years but i have to tell my parents something else i live in MI..? -

i was thinking of telling them im going to frakenmuth....any other ideas?

Speaking as a parent, I d advise you to not lie to your parents. You DO want them to trust you, don t you? You earn trust by being responsible, honest and trustworthy. And, remember that things have a way of getting back to your parents.... What happens if something goes wrong in your trip? You never know. And, if you re young enough [and immature enough] that you have to sneak around and lie, then you re probably not old enough to be going out-of-state with other adults, or, god forbid, other kids.Do you know how much of a madhouse Times Square is on New Year s Eve? Do you know your way around NYC? How are you going to get there and back?Just don t do it.

How old are you? If you are a minor and an adult is taking you then they can be charged with kidnapping if they don t have your parents permission.

Portland oregon for college? -

I m planning on going to portland community college (pcc) after I graduate. I m still trying to decide what campus.. but I m pretty sure I m going to stick with the sylvania campus. my problem is trying to decide where I want to live.. I want to spend a lot of time downtown, but I don t want to live downtown. my friend and I will both be roomates and will both have about 350 each for rent. downtown would be too expensive and theres no parking, but I want to live somewhere that s just a small drive to get there.. where should we live?

I live in the Raleigh Hills area and pay $600 for my one bedroom. My neighbors with the two bedrooms pay $675. It s a quick ride to the Sylvania Campus (15-20 minutes) and quick to down town (another 15-20 minutes). There are also a lot of grocery stores, Target, and the Washington Square Mall near by, as well as Rt 26, I 5, and 217.The problem with Scapoose and St Helens is that the drive to the Sylvania campus will be a long one.

The neighborhoods around Mount Sylvania are reasonably priced��except Mountain Park to the east. There are a number of houses for rent with plenty of room for autos, yet it s all conveniently close to central Portland, even by bicycle.

Consider Vancouver (not B.C.), Washington (not D.C.). It is across the Columbia River and about 12 minutes from downtown Portland. Rent is less expensive too.

You should actually consider Scappoose or St Helens, (NOT ST JOHNS)It is cheaper out there, and you can take hwy 30 right into the city

What is a good excuse to go to Erie PA? -

I really need to get to Erie to see my girlfriend because I haven t seen her since the summer. My dad won t let me go just to see her so I need a better reason to travel in that direction. I m working on a college visit but is there anything else that would work, or at least keep me there for a little longer? I m near Philadelphia now. Any new ideas would be appreciated. Once I go to Pennstate-Erie campus I can t exactly go back for a second visit. I m 17 and I have a car. I d rather not just run out there cold (no excuse) but I can if it comes to that.

There s a number of colleges in both the Cleveland/Akron and Buffalo areas, which are conveniently close enough to Erie that you could reasonably drop through these cities before/after an extended stay in Erie. Certainly if you re driving all the way out to these cities, Erie can be worked into the route. Penn State main campus is on the way to Erie, so can be Lock Haven, Clarion, Indiana (PA), PSU Altoona, Juniata, Bloomsburg, Bucknell, and I m sure many more colleges. Pittsburgh with all its colleges can also make a slightly less convenient detour. These don t really bring you to Erie, but at least give you an excuse to head that general direction.Also, Erie was a major historic site from the 1700s when USA, England, and France were all fighting over the Great Lakes...just in case you re immensely into early American history.

what is your career goal? might help with an excuseas Erie area has several colleges and universities if you need an excuse to check out the other schoolsbesides --Penn State BehrandMercyhurst GannonEdinboro
