I've been wondering... does anyone know what the linguistical term for words that people will add to their sentences that lack the true meaning of that word, for example, in english we hear the word "like" quite a bit, even when it's not describing what it means.

Here are some sentences...

And she was like...
I am like, so angry
He drank like fifty glasses of water

In a way it is a filler word but I still wonder if anyone can help me out here.

I can name quite a few 1st tiered schools, who can't.

What about second and third tier?... I think I hear of a 4th maybe.

Does some organizations does this classification or it just what colleges called each other?

Is there a list of this?

For college. Like is there a way that you can study your butt off and maybe pay to take a test. And if you pass that test, you get credited for it, and don't have to take the class? Just the standard general studies or something, and it'd be with a community college, unless you could do a university???

A bachelor's is a bachelor's degree right? If I'm graduating from DeVry University is it still a trade school degree?

You are imposing self restraint on yourself, SELF RESTRAINT? too much SELF RESTRAINT. Also ' HARD DONE BY' and the word 'SUNDRY'

I took a class in statistics - twice. The first time the school had no tutors avaliable and I flunked that class- I accept that I flunked the class and that I would have to take the class over. Math is not my strong point and I accept that fact. The second time I took the class I worked with a tutor and turned in the homework each day during class. Two weeks after the class was ended, I got a call from the teacher wanting to know where my homework was - I thought he was joking ! I did not have copies of the homework - I turned it in, and I did not have a back up disk because I had worked with the tutor in the math lab and did not bring disks to the math lab. I am now stuck with a bill for over $1500.00 and a bad grade - even though I did the work!!! The school refuses to work with me on the matter - and has turned the bill over to collections. Is there a way I can sue the professor for causing this much headache in my life ?

I want to become a doctor.Then I would have to wait for 8 years to get a real job with my education. So I was thinking to take a 2 year program @ a community college for some medicine related course so that I could work while I study. But I just didn't know whether it is possible to do that.

I'm getting a PhD in English but so I'm sick of this field, sick of these classes. It feels so useless. I am determined to steer clear of academia after I graduate or simply shoot myself in the head. So I should leave my program, right? Only dilemma is that I've got just under 2 yrs left in my program AND I have no idea what I would pursue instead.

When people ask me what I would be doing if I had a million dollars, I say, not a d*mn thing.

What do I do with myself? I'm extremely unhappy.

My first assignment in English this year is to write an epilogue for Of Mice and Men. I really want to start the year off well and be prepared, so can some people give me an idea of how to start it? Just so I have an example.

It also needs to be in John Steinbeck's style of writing.
