How do I know if he still loves me like I love him?


How do I know if he still loves me like I love him?
I dated an exchange student at my university last year for the whole year. He returned to his native country of Brazil in June. However, I cannot get over him because I am still in love with him. My relationship with him was the only one in which I felt fully happy. Is it even possible that he still feels the same about me?

He could. You just need to look at him to find out. Search for blushing, eye contact, and lips. Plus he might sweat, but people don't always sweat when they are in love. Its not always the lips either. But sometimes if someone likes you, they will lick there lips. But blushing is what you need to look for. I HOPE THIS HELPS.

Does anyone have and advice on raising money to go on school trip?

Does anyone have and advice on raising money to go on school trip?
My school has a summer program to go to Brazil to study the Amazon. I would love to go and am a broke college student. The trip runs around $4000 and I cannot get financial aid because of budget cuts. I have a job so I am definitely going to try to save up as much as I possibly can but does anyone have any tips or experience on raising money for a trip? I can't ask my family member or friends since they are either broke or just plain cheap.

Do foreigners living out the the US need to pay income tax and/or capital gain tax for US-based properties?


Do foreigners living out the the US need to pay income tax and/or capital gain tax for US-based properties?
I have been residing in the US (Chicago, IL) for two years (as a legal student) and am the owner of my apartment. I am considering renting it and then selling it after I leave the country and become a fiscal resident of Brazil. Will I be liable for income tax (in the US) on the rent that I'll be receiving (for my US apartment) ? What about capital gain tax when I eventually sell the apartment?

Well, some countries have special treaties with US and they do get a break for taxes. For example, a Taiwanese national do not need to pay taxes on bank interest if they have bank account in US. However, they still need to pay taxes on investment gains.
2 :
Unless there is a tax treaty that provides otherwise -- and there ins't one likely in this case -- you'll be subject to US taxation for the income from the rental and capital gains when you sell. Depending upon the timeline, you may qualify for an exclusion on the capital gain if you lived in the home as your principal residence for 2 of the 5 years immediately prior to the sale. The exclusion amount is $250,000 if your filing status is Single and $500,000 if your filing status is Married Filing Jointly. One caution on this, however. If you marry before you sell the property, you MUST file a joint return with your spouse to qualify for the exclusion on the gain. To do that, she will have to agree to have her world wide income taxed by the US in the year of the sale. Depending upon the numbers, this could kill the benefit of the exclusion if she has significant income. If she does not agree to be taxed by the US, you will have to file Married Filing Separately and will be ineligible for the exclusion. Since you are going to be renting it out, any depreciation allowed or allowable while you rented it out will be subject to recapture and taxation when you do sell even if you qualify for the exclusion.

I was an exchange student and I want to reassure you that it is very normal to start to feel this way at this point in your exchange. The newness of it all has started to wear off, your novelty as the exchange student at school and in your host family is waning, and the holidays are approaching, which can make homesickness even worse. If you've already graduated from high school (as I had when I did my exchange), your friends are all coming home from college right now and you're realizing that you're not going to be there for all of that fun. BUT...and this is HUGE....if you can make it through Christmas, you're going to be FINE!!!! This will be the most amazing year of your life. When I went on exchange, I didn't really believe it, but now (and I won't tell you how many years later it is!) I can say that my year abroad had the greatest concentration of incredible experiences of any year in my life. I've gone through college and graduate school, gotten married, and I'm now a mother. All sorts of wonderful, fantastic things have happened in my life since I came home from my exchange, but I doubt that I will ever in all of my life have a year like that one - the travels, the friends, the challenges of language and culture and living with my host families, the maturation and development of personal character. You are doing a brave and daring thing by leaving home and being an exchangee and you will - I PROMISE!!! - treasure your memories of your time in Brazil.

I don't know? The laws are always changing! You can try contacting them on their online contact form at https://www3.flhsmv.gov/DDL/CQS/

As you don't have a Brazilian driver's license, you can't get an IDP, which is the easiest way to validate your license in the US. Most likely your best option would be to get a state permit and license once you meet the residency requirements. You'll probably have to take driving classes and complete some hours with a licensed driver, so your host parents (or other licensed US drivers) will have to be willing to help you out. You'll have to decide if the extra expense & bother is worth it.

habitat for humanity or the peace corps can send you to far flung places, experience exotic local (overseas or wherever) and feel good about helping others in need at the same time. you will also be able to spend some time in the locale where they send you and maybe make some new friends with fellow volunteers. you should check them out and consider pitching it.
