What's the actual meaning of "Have it all together"? Please provide examples
Hi,
Does the expression "have it all together" mean the same as "get it all together"?
I came across "I hope to have it all together" but I was struggling to find its actual meaning.
All I could find about the expression is a definition that says "mentally and physically organized" but can you tell me when and how it is used?
Thanks in advance.

I know they all mean to read something quickly (and not carefully I think) but what would be more commonly used?

Difference between "ski track/trail/run/slope"
Hi,
I was just wondering how to translate "piste de ski" (French) into English when I realized there were many possibilities: Ski track, ski trail, ski run, ski slope
Could you tell me what makes these terms different and what would be more commonly used?
For example if you're going to a ski resort during your holidays / or / if you're a professional skier and it's your sport, what would you say they're skiing on?
Thank you.

Are there any differences between "switch" and "swap"?
Is it like the difference between change and exchange?
For example, if you say "l'd like to switch/swap seats with you", does it mean the same, i.e; I take your seat and you take mine?
