hsmsful Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Basically, spent the second half of my last year in high school on my computer. Did practically no homework for a whole term (term= half a schoolyeal here). Grades dipped, concentration issues, this year we were taught mostly stuff that will be the foundation of the rest of HS curriculum and I do not feel like I learned anything. My last minute worker attitude got me declined from the IB (International Baccalaureate) program for the next two years. Ended the year with my GPA being 84/100 (which is, I'd guess, pathetic if you want to get into an Ivy League university). TL;DR: Parents let me manage my own time last schoolyear. Fucked up, dipped grades, probably will miss my life goal by a wide margin. It might not be the same but I refused to go to the most prestigious high school because I suck, I mean because it was a boarding school, strict kind , only boys school and needs lots of studying. I regret it a lot, some graduated there and went to top ranked unis all over the world and the best I can get here is one in the 400s which is depressing for me. But enough about me, hopefully I can manage to even get there. Now about you, I don't know how the system is there but till 2013 , if you were not satisfied with your senior year degree in highschool, you could redo it. Also if it was last year in highschool , shouldn't you be in college now? Quote

Also if it was last year in highschool , shouldn't you be in college now? Last year as in previous year. My HS has five years, the first is "prep" which brings all students to a standard English level. To my knowledge that doesn't count in uni applications (since it is not mandated by the national ministry) and then there is grade 9,aka the first "proper" year of HS. Then you have until Grade 12, after which you graduate HS. I just finished G9,so I have 3 years left in HS. Quote

But then if you fucked up in a year and worked hard enough in the next 3 years , won't you be able to get into the university you wanted? Even if the possibility is slim, if it's there, try to grab it. Even if you fail, always have the I tried badge. Quote

Eclipsed Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 So I just saw a small dog get run over by a car in the middle of an intersection  It howled the most cringeworthy death cry ever and then just sprawled on the ground  Me and my sister were like "Oh my gawd..."  10 seconds later  I see the dog twitch  And realize  There was no blood.  And the dog got up and ran away  Never to be seen again.

The dog ran away like someone had put mustard up it ass. Also my grandfather used to drive a bus, he once hit a dog, they thought the dog was dead and put it in a shed, a day or two later it was up and running again. Dogs don't want to die it seems. Quote

rainsismyfav Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Does New Jersey suck? I've heard from multiple people, including several residents that have lived there since birth, that New Jersey is in fact quite the shithole.  I'm sure it depends on many factors such as which part of NJ you live, how rich you are, and what kind of lifestyle you want to live.  Here's a more lengthy explanation:  I personally don't like it. I wouldn't exactly call the whole state a shithole besides certain areas (Camden and Newark being top 10 in crime in the whole nation). I live in the northeastern part, literally right next to the infamous Manhattan, New York City. If you're an introvert + pretty poor, it's kinda useless to live here. I got really convenient access to NYC but I really can't do anything in there. I usually only go for two Japanese bookstores and whatever random trip that doesn't cost money. You do get access to conveniences (like laundry, supermarket, etc.) even without a car. Bus service is pretty frequent and every amenity is close by.  Traffic is fu*(#(g ridiculous. Everyone and their mothers pass through where I live to get to NYC, combine that with never ending construction everywhere. Potholes everywhere. Accidents almost everyday somewhere. Since there's so much volume of traffic normally, one accident in some major highway somewhere fucks up the whole entire area. It's very very dense like urban dense. People drive erratically because they're used to traffic. As a fellow fuwan pointed out to me when I drove in her state: You drive and stop really close to other people's car (aka I tailgate). It was an interesting natural habit I didn't know I had developed. Part of the reason is that so many people will take advantage of any space available to swoop into your lane and possibly make you miss a green light etc. Lots of irritated people.  Lifestyle is very fast-paced, snobbish people at least in my part of the state. New York city really does have a huge influence because I'm sure it's almost a different state if you go to Southern NJ. Bonus is that there are a TON of other people from all over the world here. You get to be exposed to a lot of different cultures and people are generally accepting. The state is mostly liberal.  I'm getting out of here as soon as I possibly can. I'm personally tired of this place. Quote

And also because it is a nukige! Confession: The fact that your username starts with an uncapitalized letter and has a number in it, pisses me off moderately.

Of course, it's easier said than done to change the way you look at yourself, but it's still easier than to change what you can't change. Â Confession: I often secretly enjoy VN characters that torment others for no good reason, like Aoi in Hoshizora. Even though I dislike those types of people IRL. Quote
arakura Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Confession: I wanted to meet some of my old classmates while I was here but everyone's busy and I'm going back in a week. Y_Y And for all I know they're just "busy" I lose a ton of respect for people who are "too busy" to see their friends occasionally. I originally had something to say about the ivy league post, but really it'd probably depress you. So work hard if you want it Oooh and a fun confession: there's exactly one member in here that I really can't stand. Buahaha Quote
