Can an intercultural relationship work

Can an intercultural relationship work?
I'm American and my boyfriend is from Peru, and now that we have spent a long time together, we are starting to find out that there are things about each other's culture that drive us crazy!! I don't understand why he won't branch out from just his family and stop living like he is still in his home country and he can't understand why I like to go out with friends and just hang out with him and not his extended family!! Does anyone have experience dating someone from another culture and have advice?

This is not going to change. The Family is EVERYTHING in the South American culture. If you can't live with that, leave now.

What are my chances of getting into these Universities

What are my chances of getting into these Universities?
I am wondering what my chances are to get in to the following colleges: UC Berkeley UCLA UC San Diego Northwestern University University of Chicago. I took the SAT and received a 2040. I also took the ACT and got a 31. I took the SAT Subject Tests in U.S. History and Chemistry and received 730 and 680. My GPA is 4.3 weighted, 4.0 unweighted. I've been on student government for 4 years and LINK Crew, another leadership organization. I have 200+ hours of community service, and am going to go to Peru to work with underprivileged children (i created the project by myself). My teachers have said they would love to write recommendation letters for me, and my personal statement should be pretty decent too. Thank you! Sorry, could you rank me on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most likely to get in

It looks like you have a pretty good shot to me. Apply.
2 :
I'd say you have a very good chance, especially for UCLA and UCSD. But I still like your odds for the others. Look on collegeboard.com and the schools websites for additional admissions info.
3 :
dang why haven't you applied already? the only thing keeping you from that acceptance letter is the application!!
4 :
Your SAT is low, which suggest you're performing over your natural level. This may mean the elite schools will turn down your application, and go with candidates who SAT ang GOPA are better balanced. You should include some "fit" and "safety" schools. For example: Colgate University SUNY-Binghamton Santa Clara University Villanova

Should I have cosmetic surgery or visit my fiance? Please comment on this.

Should I have cosmetic surgery or visit my fiance? Please comment on this.?
I planned on December on getting a tummy tuck and breast lift on June because I've lost about 150 lbs. The thing is I had broken up with my boyfriend but we got back together in March. Now we're going to get married but I'm not going to be able to see him in about 8 mos to a year because he lives in Peru and works on a cruise ship. I was planning on using the money I've saved on my surgery but I don't know if it's better to visit him in October and have the surgery done later. I also can't take more vacations from work so I have to choose between both. What do you think? I need opinions. Thanks!

Looking good before bros. Tummy tuck is a positive.

Your certainty over what you want to do for yourself beats out his previous indecisiveness any day. Invest in yourself. I'm sure both of you will love the results. Also, his time away will also give you time to heal and you can present your best self when you all do see each other. Congratulations on getting married.

Go for the cosmetic surgery. Visiting him would be nice, but sometimes you just need to treat yourself.

You may never get this opportunity again for a while, especially if 'something unexpected' pops up. Get the surgery. If it's meant to be, then he will still be waiting for you when you do get a chance to see him. Or you may be surprised, he may visit you instead. Treat yourself so you don't regret it! I was going to get my my surgeries (mommy makeover: boobs and tummy tuck), and my husband was very supportive, but I decided to use the money instead to pay off bills and I still feel like crap. Now, I have to wait until next year. I hate the way my 'torso' area looks, seriously! Get yourself fabulous. Us women tend to feel selfish at times if we put ourselves ahead of others, but it is necessary at times and it sounds like your time is now. If I could have that money back, I would say damn the consumer debt, paid cash for my surgeries and keep paying on my debt and feel good about my body in the meantime. I thought I was doing the 'good thing on paper', but it was not a good thing for me afterall. However, it's too late now. My vote is for you to Go For It! Best Wishes!
