Or...you could just post your blog here and we could all read it. Not to mention (no offense) but your page is horribly annoying.

Now, Cole, I can't imagine "horribly annoying" to be offensive, right? :-)

But, do add your blog here, or at least send a link.

no, "horribly annoying" means you can't read the damn thing...

answer to all three: lay low, don't make waves, and get the hell out as fast as you can.

I'm going to have a read, but lets just say thank gods that I can adblock the background on your profile. Seriously, OUCH.

Exactly I may have come off a little harsh sorry for the misunderstanding bianca what I meant by my comment "Horribly annoying" is that background of your page and the bold white text makes it near impossible to read. Sorry for the misunderstanding, my apologies.

I'd say several things.

Firstly, your friend may not be particularly open to receiving any advice from you. I don't know how close you are or how close you think you are, but I don't think you're going to be able to influence her away from him.

I think you're likely to come off as jealous and she may well be in so deep that she no longer sees whether the guy is "worth it" or not (however you define that, I don't know).
Perhaps the guy has more to offer than meets the eye, perhaps not.

Give it time and perhaps she'll figure it out. I don't know how smart or pragmatic your friend is, so I don't know if she will or not. Ideally you need someone else who she'll listen to to advise her, not you.

I don't know if you want some advice on the rest of your life, but to be honest, I doubt you'd want to hear what I have to say. That isn't to say it's all negative, but as I look at the big picture, I'd be likely to say things you want to hear but also things you don't want to hear.

here's my advice:

two jobs sounds fine to me-save up the money now while you can before you have to pay all your own bills and rent.
ignore your cousins, things could be a lot worse.
