You guys are some of the smartest people I know when it comes to finance and making due on less, so please help me out. I will be forever in your debt.
You don't want to take investment advice from people you don't know on an internet forum. You're doubly in trouble if you're taking investment advice from a seduction forum.

International relations and global economics is my area of most expertise.
From one young buck to another, we don't have areas of expertise. Recall the 10,000 hour rule. Ignore everything I just said if your dad's a high ranking diplomat.
My (somewhat) unsolicited advice: keep your 5k in savings. Educate yourself on the markets. Invest in your education, career, and network. The market's will still be there and 5k isn't much leverage to be making bank with. If you still want to "invest", take the 5k to the nearest casino. You'll have similar/better odds and more fun.
