Your name makes me smile. It reminds me of words like "smile", "snuggle", and "giggle", which are all very important words to me. :) It looks like you're already off to a great start! Welcome to the forums. Also, I know you haven't posted a whole lot yet, so I don't have a whole lot to judge on, but you don't seem "immature" to me. Heck, you seem a lot more mature than I know I was at 13. ^^;
I think I might have anxiety issues. Well, I know I have issues, I just don't know how to classify them. The reason I suspect anxiety is because both my mom and my older sister have been diagnosed with anxiety. I've never been diagnosed with anything because I've never seen a therapist because I've never asked for one because I'm afraid it costs money and I feel like it'll put unneccessary stress on my family because even if insurance covers it they'll have to worry about driving me to my appointments and all that other stuff and it just seems like it should be something I should deal with on my own. I first noticed it near the beginning of my senior year, though looking back, there's evidence of it back as far as I can remember. Every time a teacher would assign something that I felt would be difficult, I would start freaking out inside. Sometimes, it got so bad that I would actually cry in the middle of class. I would start panicking because I would think about how that project would make life more difficult, and how if I didn't do a perfect job, I would fail the class, drop out of high school, never get into college, and be a bum for the rest of my life. Most of my anxiety attacks came from school, so I assumed that once I graduated, they would stop. I was wrong. Now, I tend to freak out about the future. I got into my dream college, but now, I worry about paying for it. I didn't get nearly enough scholarships, and now that the state of California cut the Cal Grants from private colleges, there goes most of my funding. Every time I think about going to college, I think about how to try and pay for it. I obviously can't pay for it out of pocket, but I'm terrified of entering into a student loan because of all the horror stories I've heard about someone's student debt following them around for the rest of their lives and ruining their chances at a successful life. I think, "Maybe if I was a better person... If I wrote a better essay... If I volunteered for something other than running an anime convention (which took a lot of work, but because it's "just cartoons" and not saving puppies or feeding homeless people, scholarship committees don't care)... Maybe I could have gotten more scholarships... Oh well, you ruined your life, have fun being a hobo crushed under student debt!" I also freak out when it comes to social situations. I want people to think the best of me to maximize my chances of being successful in life. I want to be the best person I can be. But unfortunately, I don't know how to convince people that I'm awesome. I always feel like I'm being conceited or something. Even now, while writing this, I wonder what you, the reader will think of me. "Look at her. She shouldn't care what people think. She should be her own person. Also, she should feed homeless puppies. Otherwise, she's a horrible person." Anyways, I guess the point is... How do I cope with this? As I said before, I'm scared of involving my family or a doctor because money is tight and we need to save money so I can go to college and not be a hobo. Is there anything I can do on my own, or should I just accept that I'm completely bonkers?
Hmm, good point. After thinking about it for a while and analysing why I would want to bring it back, I realize it's probably best I don't. I'm pretty sure the reasons I'd want to do it are that 1. I'm feeling nostalgic. 2. I'm lonely and I want people to pay attention to me. 3. I'm worried about my future and so I'm trying to return to a simpler time. Everything's changing so fast! And my friends are all leaving me to go to Georgia and Mississippi and other super far away places and I have to go to college soon and college is scary and I don't want to be a hobo with a ton of student debt. :( Oh dear, there I go again, having anxiety attacks. I really should look into some sort of medication for that... EDIT: But then again... It might be nice...
I noticed the old one was locked, most likely due to inactivity and me leaving and everything. I could ask for it to be unlocked, but... If I'm going to bring it back, I'd rather start off with a fresh thread. Lend me your votes and your thoughts. (If anyone who wasn't here before wants me to explain what it is, I can write up a quick short description.)
BBS: Don't have a PSP. :( KH: Never finished it because someone broke my disc. D: COM: Don't have a GBA. Re:COM: Started it but didn't finish it because I was like "I want to kill things! Why am I playing Go Fish? This is stupid!" Days: Started it, but didn't finish because I wanted to go out and kill things, but the mission system bored me. KH2: Beat it at least 5 times, with half of those on Proud Mode. Still my favorite of the KH games. Coded: Haha, no one's ever played this. Most people forget it exists. Re:Coded: Beat it once. I liked that I could finally level grind in a way that made sense: whenever I wanted to. No stupid missions, no stupid card games. 3D: Not out yet. I like the story (seriously messed with me and made me say "Wait, what?" a lot), but I can't judge the gameplay untll I play it for myself. Which might be a while, considering I still have to get a 3DS...
It's not a grade, it's a test score. The grades I got in the classes are different from the scores I got on the tests.
Gotta admit... That right there is pretty sexy.
AP Tests are basically subject tests in specific areas. You take them at the end of AP classes, and if you pass, most college will give you college credit. That's what I thought about Comparitive Government. We only studied 4 of the 6 countries, and I didn't even answer half the FRQs. I have no idea how the hell I passed that one. I had a choice between taking Statistics and Calculus, and... I liked the Stats teacher better. ^^; Seriously, though. How often do you get a math teacher who goes to ComiCon?
So I recently got my AP Score Report in the mail. ---2012 Micro Econ - 4 Macro Econ - 4 Eng Lit - 5 US Gov - 5 Comp Gov - 3 Stats - 4 ---2011 US History - 4 Eng Lang - 4 ---2010 World History - 3 They're scored on a 1 to 5 scale. 3 is passing, 5 is pretty freaking amazing. Anyone else want to share their scores? :3
So the entire three days super duper long time I've been back, I've been using the khv4.0v2 theme. Not on purpose (at least I don't think so), but when I switched to KH-Vids 5.0 Dark Fluid Width, I was like, "Wow, the UI just improved like, a lot. Also, BLUE OMG YES THEY LISTENED TO ME THEY FINALLY LISTENED TO ME YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" I am pleased.
What's wrong? :/
Well they charged per semester, not per unit or class. It says he fulfilled all the graduation requirements, which I guess means he either took a ton of classes at once or he tested out of all of them. If he was able to test out of them, the school already has a system where testing out of classes is allowed, so I can't see why that would be the issue.
Hey, you're in my time zone. Also, I was up until 4:30. So ha.
It's only academic dishonesty if he cheats and doesn't learn anything. If he's smart enough to study the notes, learn the material, and pass the test, then he has succeeded in being educated, which is the whole point of going to a university in the first place.
Indeed. It just keeps calling you back. D: I hope only good things. DF is Destiny's Force, and he writes some... interesting fanfictions. He has since moved to deviantART: http://michael2002.deviantart.com/
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20...ersity-sues-student-graduating-too-fast.shtml Really? Really? I mean... I did the math, and €3,000 is about $3,714. That's a little more than what my dorm costs per semester. Is that really worth suing over?
Although... I'm still confused as to why the User CP was renamed "Settings." User CP sounded so much cooler.
In that case, I have no idea then. ^^; Spoiler Denise. Eh... I haven't really decided yet. I might conceivably be able to stick around at least until I leave for college, simply because I'm bored. But then again, I might wake up tomorrow and change my mind. I'M SO INDECISIVE. UGH. So I guess that makes it a maybe but no promises? Yeah. That works.
Vaguely. I recognize your username, definitely. Did you used to hang out with Pyro, ICSP, and Pika_power? Like in the Death Note game or Lawyer Family or something like that?
Nah, just normal talky stuff.
