Hey dad, I just graduated university and have so many expectations. What if I disappoint them all?

I was headhunted for a job people don't really get headhunted for. The higher-ups literally had to make a new billet for me.

I had issues of the "wrong people" trying to convince me to work for them (whom I had to report to the authorities). My professors all told me that it's because I have potential and they saw that and wanted to poach it.

I had a few documents that I researched and produced for FUN adopted by the government.

My professors keep saying that I'm going to go far, to not "change sides" and do good work for my country.

I have so many expectations. But what if I fail to fly, dad? What if everyone is wrong about me?

What do I do if I get to this job and they feel like I misled them, that I'm not all they expected me to be?

I hate that this sounds like a vent but I don't know, dad. I'm scared of disappointing everyone that deemed me "important" or "worth the effort".

I'm scared.

Song about a Union soldier in love - no idea what the song title is

So this guy and this gal are in love, but unfortunately they're from opposite sides during the Civil War. The girl likes him but says her mom won't approve because of his shirt of blue (him being for the Union).

​

Plus in the song he mentions coming back to burn the town to the ground.

​

Sos, I'm dying to listen to this song.

Guinea pig refusing to eat anything but treats

So my mom's guinea pig apparently has been refusing to eat anything other than. . . Anything other than her food. She'll eat carrots, celery, broccoli, hay. . . Hell, she'll try to eat the bars of her cage and the stuff on rugs or towels.

​

My mom has no idea what is going on, she used to love her food. But she's been boycotting it for a month. At first my mom thought it was her being a fatty and just wanting sweet treats, but she's starting to get so skinny.

​

Any idea what's going on? I don't live at home but my mom is worried, so I'm asking on her behalf.

Ferritin of 5, period starting soon, and surgery soon

How fucked do y'all think I am? LMFAO. I'm always chronically low on ferritin and, eventually, iron. The whole MCHC and whatnot family is also always out of whack, same with RDW and RDC. But now I'm also about to have a double whammy.
