Yes especially when I went to College for the career I now have. It was extremely hard at first because I had been away from the competative College atmosphere for nearly 10 years before coming back, and I was overwhelmed by the workload and the hours my new studies demanded.
But I reached out to the Student Support Services Office and they set me up with a private Counselor, an Assistive Technologist and a Learning Strategist. More than that, all of my instructors were INCREDIBLY, unbelievably supportive and helpful. The first Instructor I had a class with...she met with me after class for 2 hours and talked with me, answered all my questions...listened to me ramble and vent, was completely calming, kind, generous, helpful and supportive. Then said to me "I dont care what time it is- even if it is 2 a.m. if you have a question, or if you need an extension on an assignment...email me and let me know. I will get back to you within 10 minutes and do everything I can for you."
From that moment on, I knew this one instructor would be very special, not only because of her amazing ability and knowledge to teach, but because of her kindness. I had a lot of fabulous Instructors, but this one woman was one of a select few who went above and beyond the call of duty.
I conisdered her my "life line" and to this very day I attribute my success in College to her and every other amazing, wonderful person who helped me along the way. They also challenged me to push beyond my own self-doubt and go far beyond what even I believed myself to be capable of.
After a grueling 2 years, with many times of going completely without sleep for up to 10 days straight and very little food...I succeeded beyond anything I ever believed possible.
60 people started my program in September 2012. Fewer 24 graduated and of that 24....I was one of 5 people to graduate with Honours or higher, earning a 3.78 GPA and an 85% average over all though from January to April of 2013 I had straight A's earning a 94% average for that semester.
The hardest time was my first semester first year...But after things just fell into place.
Now I have a career I love doing and would not want to do anything else.
Do you like bright colours?

Yes. When I still worked I would make sure to wear loud shirts the odd time to shock the co workers out of their drab conservative lives. Do you prepare cooking humans the same way you prepare cooking beef? (I am assuming the person answering this one is a cannibal.)

From various rumors I've picked up from writings and documentaries about Borneo, it should work ok to just treat it as pork. However, don't eat the brain. It could lead to some fatal, slow, incurable nerve disease. And no, I'm not a cannibal. I suppose there are many reasons for me electing to abstain from human meat. 1: It's illegal, of course. (at least I hope it is ) 2: I wouldn't want to eat a person don't like. 3: I wouldn't want to eat a person I like, so that's like a Catch 22. 4: Call me old fashioned or religious fanatic if you want, but I also find the practice deeply unethical and disgusting. Do you know that there are quite simple and easy ways to keep your cooking knives sharp?

If I know, that I'm doing something laborious, I'll go full English, otherwise it's just coffee and sarnies (sandwiches).
Do you use a somekind of sports tracker app?

Oh gawd no. I've yet to have Fitbit run a hill or do a set of curls for me.
Crap like that is just a way for folks to spend money on some item, creating the illusion in their minds that they are doing something to improve their fitness level. As we used to say in the military, mistaking motion for progress.
I put on my running shoes and go. Unless I'm running a road race, I don't even wear a watch. I'll glance at the clock on the way out the door and again when I come back ... close enough.
Over the years, I've upgraded the bars and bench, but I'm still pushing the same metal plates year after year. I don't need an app to tell me I worked out or whether or not it went well. If I can't get all my reps on the bench, that's pretty good feedback right there. Everything else is just blather.
OK, all that said, professional runners (which I am not) can use the gear to measure their stats and they typically have sports medicine professionals to provide analysis. For those folks, it's valuable and can give them an edge over other world-class athletes.
Sorry, that hit a nerve. Too many folks in my family buy into all that crap, plus every other fitness gadget out there, then periodically ship them to the secondhand store once the dust has gotten thick and the basement cluttered. It's the same for fad "diets" ... that never work in the long run for them. It's all about establishing good habits and sticking with it, not the latest gadget or crazy-assed diet. Grrr. (Sasha says, "grrrr" too)
Do you ever let some simple thing really get to you, that in hindsight was not a big deal?

No. Opinions vary though, ...on what is "simple thing". I think I've lived a life that has trained me to not engage with things I cannot do anything about. And that can of course also be rather big things. But I am fuzzy about details. I think details often matters.
Do you plan to get a Twitter account, now that it has been freed? Or does the fact that it'll still be a giant waste of time, guide your decision?

No, I signed up for twitter once along ago, they immediately blocked my account due to 'suspicious activity' (this is after like 2 days) and said I had to hand over my phone number to get it unblocked. And that was the end of that.
Do you prefer riding Unicorns or Griffons?

A Weed whacker is a garden tool, some call it a weed trimmer or a whipper snipper, it trims weeds and other garden stuff. Do you prefer peanuts or almonds?

I'm allergic to almonds, so I pick peanuts. They're good honey roasted.
Do you prefer whacking weeds or just insulting their mothers until they leave your yard, sulking?

What is a Weed Wacker Do you explain that kind of stuff to a non English person? A Weed Whacker is a machine that has a circular disk driven by a gas or electric motor. Wrapped around the disk is plastic rope that spins really fast when it is turned on......It is used to trim the edges of your lawn around any landscaping. ( See Fish's post above for a picture). Weed Whacker was a short-lived brand name.

Much to my own regret for years I was a details person for most of my life. I would have well thought out plans for most things in life and instead of just doing I was caught up in constantly planning on how to do. Thus when plans went awry I was often unprepared for a plan B. I have become much better later in life at the big picture though and being more adaptable. I wish I had that attitude 40 years ago.
When cooking a whole Buffalo on a spit do you put BBQ sauce on him or some other kind of glaze? An further more how many Buffalo have you BBQ'd in your life?

I've never done the whole buffalo, but I have BBQd a fair number of buffalo wings ... vastly preferring mesquite sauce to any of the sweet stuff. Do you ever have trouble taking anything online seriously ... or answering questions seriously ... or is it always a kind of joke to you?

Both, plus core.
Part of my "three-legged stool" approach to health and fitness.
Strength training to maintain muscle mass and the ability to perform physical tasks ... including repetitive tasks ... that come with the muscle.
Aerobic training to maintain endurance, cardiovascular health, plus it provides an outlet for my energy (reduce the tendency to be a "hamster on coffee"), mellows me out, lets me be a bit less aggressive.
Core, to maintain small muscles in my lower back, avoid many of the lower back issues folks get as they age.
Couple the above with a diet that is modestly low in fat, plenty of protein, carbs and fiber, fluids (130oz baseline for winter hydration, more in the summer) ... with sufficient total calories to help me maintain/retain body weight and composition.
The total package approach to living life for the long haul ... current plan, live to 130, dropping dead as I cross the finish line of a marathon (or triathlon) with a smile on my face.
Do you enjoy doing stuff because you can, that others either can't or struggle mightily to do?

Kind of, I have to admit I'm a tiny little bit proud of myself that I can do things in two different fields not even 0.01% of the population can do - probably even less than that. And I enjoy doing them a lot.
Do you have favorite exotic plant?
