How do I(17F) stop being so awkward about pet names to my boyfriend (19M) of over a year?

We've been dating for almost 1.5 years now and i habe never called him any pet names. He's always been more romantic than me, saying i love you before we started dating, immediately starting to call me nicknames after we got tgt, etc. i was super avoidant at the start of our rlsp and it took me a while to even feel comfortable saying i like him (let alone love..)

im better now, and i'd like to start calling him by names other than his name lmao but it's just so difficult to start. like i feel so awkward and any time i try (irl or through text) i chicken out. idk why it embarrasses me so much, i think itll be fine aftwr the first time BUT I JUST CANT DO THE FIRST TIME.. this is both of our first relationships, but im struggling w this whole opening up and being vulnerable and cringe and romantic thing way more than he is.

pls help how do i stop being so awkward.. he doesn't explicitly say it bothers him that i dont but i can tell he wishes i would be a little more romantic so pls help out. do i just take the leap and let myself be embarrassed? is it better to say smth irl or thru text the first time? (or call??)

im not even thinking abt smth too corny i js wanna call my bf baby and not cringe at myself... its all im asking..

how to study for a subject you despise

computer science will be the death of me.

i've failed it TWICE and my dad wont let me drop it. i'm losing my god damn mind i hate cs so so so much i despise it with all of my being. i have to give the AS cie yet again this october and i'm already dreading having to study for it. i love math i love physics i just absolutely hate cs, wtf do i do?

i should logically drop it but i don't have enough time to learn all of AS chem or FM from scratch (need a stem subject) and my dads an AI bootlicker he's making me take cs in hopes of me going into tech (which i am not), so how do i make the most out of my cs grade. how do i study for something that makes me rip my hair out every time i open my past papers. ITS NOT EVEN THAT HARD I JUST CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO STUDY IT.

i can do math past papers for 7 hours straight and not even get tired but cs? i'm in tears and half asleep within 30 min. i cannot fail again i got a U the first time, and an E the second time. if i get less than a B i'll be slaughtered, so anyone who has tips on how to either make me stop hating cs so much or how to push through it and make myself study please give i am desperate to do good in this godforsaken subject.

honest review on mood hair dye?

i keep getting ads of it on instagram and i'm wondering if i should buy it. i'm looking for a permanent dark plum or violet coloured hair dye that can dye dark brown hair without bleaching. there's unfortunately very few affordable options for unnatural shades in pakistan, i was leaning towards bremod, but now that i've come across mood hair id like to know if it's better. i know keune is also an option but i cant find the shade i'm looking for anywhere. so yeah if anyones tried mood hair pls give your opinions.

need help choosing subjects (planning to study physics in uni)

im doing my alevels private, i just gave physics and i will give composite math either in october or june, but the last subject is confusing me.

i took cs for a year and i hated it beyond measure. i hate p1 and p2 especially. i dont mind p3 (find it easier than p1) and p4 is interesting too but i hate AS computer science. i got a U the first time i gave the paper and when i retook cus of leaks and cancelled paper i still did awful, and i just dont have the motivation to study something i hate so fucking much for months on end.

so question is wtf can i give as my 3rd subject? I know people will say chemistry but i scraped a B in igcse chem through a genuine miracle, i dont think i can do alevel chemistry in less than a year and not fail (i also lowkey js hate chem too...) is ICT a viable option? i still dont want to but i've heard its at least easier than CS even if it is super boring. my only other option is like smth like sociology which i love w my whole heart but im worried it's gonna make university applications harder. i've heard it's a "low level subject" and i shouldnt risk my admission into physics for not having 3 proper stem subjects.

theres also that last option of further math but in all honesty im terrified of it.... i have friends who took it and they highly advise against it unless you took add maths in igcse and got an A in it. i didn't take it at all so i guess im at a disadvantage there. it's also by far the hardest alevel subject so im worried the chances of me doing good are fairly low.

someone help pls, will taking a subject like sociology affect uni applications or should i suffer through CS, ICT or .....further maths..... (or is there a secret other option) (pakistani student btw, planning to apply here and abroad if it matters)

in short im giving AS and A2 physics together rn, but my p4 is pretty weak, and i know it carries the most weightage (38.5%). im trying to convince myself if i can get A's in the other components, it wont matter as much if i get a C or smth in p4 and i can average back to an A, but im worried p4 holding so much weightage will bring down my grade to a C or smth.

so how exactly can i like estimate what grades i would need to get in the other papers for my paper 4 to not make a big dent in my grade? i'm expecting A's in p1 p2 and p3 and a B in p5, so assuming average thresholds, what do yall think the lowest my p4 can go to still get an overall A is...
