As an outsider looking at your situation it looks like he got frustrated because he didn't really know what he was talking about. Rather he tried to pretend like he was a know it all. There is no need for someone to become so defensive like that out of the blue. Not only that but it seems like some things were taken out of context. I saw nothing wrong with you saying " I got to finish my bachelors degree first."

Well, in both cases you have the word had, which is past tense. Just because you put a verb there that does not mean it's in the current state. Other things indicates that. "Had a fall-out with each other" Fall out means a quarrel, to leave, to happen and to occur. A verb and many languages indicates occurrence. You could use the verb falling or you could say "fall-out", they both talk about an occurrence. They are having a huge fall-out. Meaning that they are still quarreling. It's all about how you set the sentence up. Certain phrases are past and present also. If they stopped associating with each other I think had is better to use than have. I think both of them are correct due to the tense of "fall-out"

Pass out and faint can mean similar and totally different things. Pass out and faint can both mean to lose all consciousness. They also have their own meanings. The meaning of " to pass out" in this case is the verb of faint. To pass out can also mean handing out objects or information. If someone passed you something, they handed you something. The phrase " to pass out" means "to let go of" Faint can also mean something that is barely noticeable or unclear. " The smell of the rose was faint". " The noise was faint." The word faint means "weakness". With those definitions let's picture why they are used. If some lost all consciousness and fell or their eyes rolled into the back of their heads. They are letting go of even if it's against their wishes. Their body is letting go of due to whatever reason. They passed out. If someone lost all consciousness it was because their body was weak, they were faint. That's why we say " fainted".

I love it when it rains at night and late evenings. When it rains in the day it really puts a damper on the sunshine. It may also put a damper on plans when it rains in the day.

When it rains at night it's like a relaxing aide for me. I have a beautiful sound of nature pacifying me to sleep. It's when my minds meditates with out trying. The sound is sometimes similar to a far away waterfall, with just the right amount of rain.

I do love it when it sprinkles in the day time, just enough to feel cool rain drops, to see the dew in the grass and the bold smell of nature.

Sunshine, I love the sunshine but I also love the gentle wind, rain and clouds. It keeps things interesting.
