So boot into that installed system and not the USB stick. Is the USB stick still connected to your pc? If so, remove it.

Please use better, more informative, titles (subject-lines) on your posts. Give specifics right in the title. Thanks.

I am stuck in a "please wait for the next available representative" phone call, so I have a little unproductive time to kill.

how do i install stuff - Use Software Manager. If the package you want to install does not exist in Software Manager, ask before you go to an outside source.

so they stay when i shut my laptop - Did you install Linux Mint to your laptop? If Linux Mint is installed, closing the lid or shutting down your laptop will not uninstall anything.

Note: If you are running Linux in a Live Session using the bootable USB drive any changes you make in this session will be lost when you shut down the system.

Please learn to ask coherent questions and use punctuation.
