question when do i need a graphing calculator

[quick wharf]

your school will provide you one

[fervent palm]

Mostly because they made Madara too powerful

[quick wharf]

you'll use it in grade 12 and maybe grade 11

you do not need to buy one

[mild coyote]

they wont, they never do

[quick wharf]

you won't be seeing the graphing calculator until grade 11 earliest

it wouldn't be surprising if you never see it

[fervent palm]

I was introduced more around 8-9th grade

[mild coyote]

ok so my father already a graphing calculator from his school days, its a ti-84 plus silver edition thing

[quick wharf]

wtf

[fervent palm]

It was more heavily used in 10th tho for Algebra 2

[quick wharf]

when the trig test multichoice sections allowed graphing calculator so I just be proving trig identities with that

never had more fun taking a math test

[fervent palm]

man I miss when using a graphing calculator was useful

[quick wharf]

it's just straight up banned for me now

[fervent palm]

same, although with the stuff you learn in higher education, it becomes less useful and more just for checking answers

[quick wharf]

🙏

[quick wharf]

yep

and I can just use desmos

[mild coyote]

their are two which do i watch

[quick wharf]

2009

brotherhood

first ep is filler but it does give a taste of what the show is kinda like

second ep is the best very beginning to a show I've seen. If you don't like ep 2 then don't continue, otherwise finish the show

[fervent palm]

It's crazy how most shows people recommend to non-anime watchers is between 2005 and 2015

[quick wharf]

that was a better era

[quick wharf]

it's just 1 ep that's filler and it was just an okay episode. Not every single ep in a peak show is gonna be peak

wouldn't say skip it unless you really want

@fervent palm whats your major

[fervent palm]

EE

[mild coyote]

ok anything else i should do

[quick wharf]

🫵 😹 (im mech)

[quick wharf]

uh just eat well and drink milk if you aren't

eat a lot of fruit

[fervent palm]

What year?

[quick wharf]

just finished 1st, what about you

[mild coyote]

ok what if i have a major aversion to milk that makes me gag if i see it

[quick wharf]

there's probably alternative sources of calcium but that's just sad if you don't like a good cold glass of milk

[mild coyote]

its always the texture on those

[quick wharf]

????

[mild coyote]

i also dont like eggs..

[quick wharf]

ykw

you're actually cooked

[mild coyote]

some fruit textures and good and some arent

[quick wharf]

then just eat the fruits you like

[mild coyote]

i do

[quick wharf]

it's not like you'll get to eat durian often anyway

[quick wharf]

ok that's good enough as long as you're doing so regularly

[mild coyote]

the only time i eat eggs

is if its fried

and i eat all the crunchy whites

[quick wharf]

fried egg is good

hardboiled is nasty lol, softboiled is nice

[mild coyote]

i dont like either only fried 😭

i hate the smell and the look of eggs especially the liquid

i dont know why

[quick wharf]

not the healthiest of habits but I have an infinite stash of instant ramen, specifically shin ramen paired with some frozen beef/lamb rolls or eggs or I stir fry instant noodles

I take care of myself to eat healthy enough regularly. I turn to instant ramen when there's school usually and I need midnight grind meal

[mild coyote]

i LOVE beef

hot pot is also fun

trying to cut down on ramen though

[quick wharf]

I don't eat it much in the summer

[quick wharf]

I like thin cuts yeah

oh

learn to cook

this is a real advice I can give

I spent a lot of time at one point in my life watching a lot of food shorts/videos and I remember what I learn though experience is the best teacher

knowing the flavour profiles of various ingredients is nice. I can also estimate the amount of ingredients to use without needing measuring tools

cooking is usually more lenient than baking if you get the quantity of an ingredient wrong

[mild coyote]

learning from both parents currently

[quick wharf]

you're honestly chilling lol

just work toward breaking bad habits

[mild coyote]

i do cook a little ramen

[mild coyote]

i dont know any

[quick wharf]

everyone procrastinates

[mild coyote]

ok i deifnitely do that

[quick wharf]

this really speaks to me

if you do procrastinate try to have a good reason for doing so like you're way too tired to work or have other priorities

[mild coyote]

ok i dont really know what to do

now

i mean my handwriting is bad

[quick wharf]

just write slower on lined paper

my note taking doesn't happen during lecture. It happens at my own time usually

[mild coyote]

problem with me

my hand wants to write in 2 styles

[quick wharf]

really time inefficient but I prefer solely listening to the lesson then writing it down in my own time

I don't like to write during the lesson

[mild coyote]

nice small even lines and letters, like engineers, architects, and others do or just most adult males working, or in a bubbly style (i have a pinterest board of all the bubbly styles i like i can send if you want to see examples)

[quick wharf]

assuming notes would be posted online

[mild coyote]

i physically cant do that they never give us notes back or anything and i really wish i could type but they stopped laptops

[mild coyote]

they would never in my school

[quick wharf]

🫡

[mild coyote]

they gatekeep it like its answer key and in some ways it is one

[mild coyote]

what sgould i do

[mild coyote]

about this

[mild coyote]

and this

[quick wharf]

just write bruh

[mild coyote]

no like

my hand writes in both

[quick wharf]

just make sure all your letters are distinguishable from each other and keep any curves fully closed

[mild coyote]

then its unreadable

[quick wharf]

ok then just write in 1 style

[mild coyote]

i try

[mild coyote]

i cant decide

(i always need someones opinion)

[quick wharf]

write whatever's closest to your favourite font that's realistic enough to replicate

I get my inspiration from looking at girls write

[mild coyote]

i can not replicate times new roman 😭

[mild coyote]

me too

i just cant for some reason

[quick wharf]

new times roman is incredibly mid

I stay away from it outside of academic stuff

[mild coyote]

what do u like

[quick wharf]

arial for academic stuff

merriweather is probably my favourite font

it's just better times new roman

[mild coyote]

sadly im not allowed to use that

[mild coyote]

thank you for showing me my new favorite font

[quick wharf]

the better fonts are used for title designs

those I like more

I read my novels on an app called readera. The sepia, merriweather theme is neat

[mild coyote]

oh

i still dont know what to do about handwriting though

i cant copy fonts well

[mild coyote]

this is my inspiration from what i am pretty sure is mostly girls handwriting? https://pin.it/4nIBPJAgY

[quick wharf]

yeah just write like that slowly

this one here is rather similar to mine

but kinda better

[final shard]

Uh

Could I get help here

For dylexsia

[fervent palm]

https://dontasktoask.com/ 🙂

[final shard]

Um is this a scummy website

Or ai

...

Bro

What

It's a stupid code

..

@fervent palm u shouldn't send this to a suffering person

I already suffer a lot

[fervent palm]

The goal of the site posted is to spread the habit of asking instead of "asking to ask". Makes the chance of people seeing the question greater, and actually getting an answer

Not meant to poke fun, just to spread awareness

[final shard]

Asking to ask?

[gleaming plover]

dont ask “is anyone there” “someone help” just ask your question and someone will help you

[hasty sinew]

if the mods have it in a pinned message, probably not

[final shard]

Oh

[final shard]

Sorry I came to this server a long time later

[hasty sinew]

its ok

[mild coyote]

i cant my hand doesnt let me

[mild coyote]

this is my favorite kind of handwriting

[steady olive]

dont mean to butt in but for handwriting what i do is i go on google docs and find a font i want my handwriting to look like. then i type the alphabet in lowercase, then in uppercase, then number, symbols etc etc. then change the font color to a light gray then print it out. u can trace over it to practice ur handwriting and repeat however frequently u need it

[quick wharf]

yes you can

have you never written slowly in your life?

you gotta go slow for your letters to look nice

my handwriting is not pretty at all when I write fast

[mild coyote]

whet kind of light gray

[mild coyote]

no..

im forced to write fast wherever i go

[quick wharf]

write fast or write nice

you can't do both

the best you could do is get a decent balance of both but you can't do that if you can't write nicely slowly

[mild coyote]

how

[quick wharf]

uh be able to print nicely slowly before you're able to do it faster

[steady olive]

doesn't really matter - the point is so you can trace over it. #b7b7b7 is good tho

[mild coyote]

ty

[steady olive]

[mild coyote]

can you help me find my writing style

[steady olive]

yeah sure! dy have any inspo you've been looking at?

[mild coyote]

https://pin.it/4CWFaqzyb

[mild coyote]

this too

[mild coyote]

maybe i shouldve pinged you but the messages above are my inspiration

because i forgot to ping

[steady olive]

ok so to me if you're doing the google docs thing, neucha looks pretty similar

but idk what ur normal handwriting looks like, so try to find something thats somewhere in between your desired handwriting and the stuff u have bc if u want to switch right away, it's going to be super hard for u to naturally write like it

[mild coyote]

i can send a few pictures if you want?

[steady olive]

no its ok - try to work w it a bit and see what it looks like when u write slowly neatly and try to match it to a font trust

[mild coyote]

i dont know how tho

and what am i trying to copy down

[steady olive]

u can copy down the font that u like on google docs - and just try to write slowly and pay attention to ur handwriting and see if u write quickly letters blend tg and stuff like that

[quick wharf]

imagine not pirating adobe products

[mild coyote]

dark mode

[mild coyote]

ill send finished picture

[wicked grail]

hey, i have an upcoming assignment in school where we have to make a mini business

For our upcoming Market Day, your group will be creating and running a small business. This is your chance to be creative, plan a real product or service, and experience what it’s like to launch and manage a mini company.

Your business should:

Offer a simple, appealing product that students (Years 5–11) and teachers will enjoy
Stay within a budget of $150
Be easy to set up and run with no mess or advanced equipment
Aim to make a profit while keeping it fun and school-appropriate

What you’ll need to do:
Come up with a business name and product ideas
Create a logo and visual design for your stall
Plan your menu, pricing, and packaging
Work out your expenses, budget, and expected profit
Design a simple poster or flyer to promote your business
Be ready to set up and run your stall on Market Day
After the event, reflect on what worked and what you’d improve.

i was thinking to sell choc covered fruits (strawberry, banana, etc) for 3$ and donuts (glazed) for 3$ would this work

sry for the essay

[umbral owl]

What to do if you are struggling with anxiety/overthinking/lack of self-assurance? In other words, I keep on getting negative thoughts that I constantly have to explain why I should not worry about. However, they will not stop coming back and is basically stressing my entire life out.

[umbral owl]

I am pretty sure this is called rumination by the way.

[gleaming plover]

yea that would be cool

[faint jackal]

How do I improve my conversations, making them more interesting etc

[faint jackal]

Idk make urself busy, give yourself no time to worry

[north wasp]

Nah, that gets unhealthy fast

[north wasp]

Identify your most common triggers and the negative self-talk topics and look into therapy (e.g. CBT)

[faint jackal]

Nuh uh

I do it all the time and Im fine

[faint jackal]

Therapy is just expensive talking

Find someone that you feel comfortable talking to

[native fjord]

Just write them on the paper whatever thoughts and burn it up and tell yourself this chapter is over from my life ...and whenever you start thinking about anything and you want to resist just start writing ....

[north wasp]

That's just the passive side of it but you'll also recieve some exercises and resources to work with on your own after the session

So yeah, technically you could skip the talking part but if you're just starting to work on your mental health then having the guidance of a professional is so helpful

[opaque thunder]

OK I genuinely need help w deciding between two events I can go to. I can either go to a college campus tour and cookout (I get to meet people from the college there)(but I've been to this college once before for a small school trip) or I can attend a speech and debate online tournament that'll help me prepare for the upcoming season. Which one do I choose? I'm a sophomore btw.

[quick wharf]

win the competition imo

[wicked grail]

anyone??

[opaque thunder]

Depends if u think ull be able to make a profit. If ur buying the donuts and they cost 5 dollars each, ur only getting loss - same goes for the fruit. If ur doing everything at home tho, then u might be able to make a profit. Also make sure if ur allowed to sell food according to allergies n restrictions.

[opaque thunder]

I doesn't get me any bids or anything tho (iykwim)

[quick wharf]

wdym bids

[opaque thunder]

do u do hs speech and debate?

Or did u used to?

[opaque thunder]

So basically during season if u place high u can get a bid (the number of bids given out in a tournament depend on the number of competitors so it changes everytime). So for example, if they're 25 competitors, top 5 get bids. Once u get 4 bids u have an automatic ticket to states

But this tournament is just practice so it won't get me any bids, but it would help me prepare for the season, where I can get bids. On the other hand, this campus tour could introduce me to college life, but idk if I'm keen on applying to that college specifically

[stuck crest]

Should I get airforces or Jordan's for everyday school use

@ me when answering

[golden sorrel]

What backpack should I get

[quick wharf]

not at all

how old are you rn

[opaque thunder]

15, abt to be sophomore

[quick wharf]

definitely debate

it'll help you build confidence which is quite useful

unless you're already a really good debater

you really do not need to know what college life is like at the age of 15

doubt you'd be able to network with any students at that age

[opaque thunder]

Oohhh lolll okkkkk tysmmmmm

[neat obsidian]

can anyone rate my MUN gsl

Honorable Chair, distinguished delegates,

The human cost of so-called "free trade" in a rigged system is devastating for countries like India. You see it when a farmer in Punjab struggles to grow cotton while competing against $32 billion in U.S. farm subsidies that flood global markets. You see it when a factory worker in Jamshedpur loses their job because dumped Chinese steel undercuts local manufacturers. These aren’t abstract trade disputes—they are livelihoods being crushed by a system that favors the powerful.

The hypocrisy is glaring. Wealthy nations impose carbon taxes on our exports while exempting their own polluting industries. They label their farm subsidies as "support" but call ours "trade-distorting." They demand we open our markets while shielding their own industries during crises.

India will no longer accept these double standards. We demand:

Emergency safeguards to protect developing nations from import surges.

A functioning dispute system where rulings can’t be blocked by those who lose.

Climate justice—technology sharing before trade penalties.

Transparent subsidy limits applied equally to all nations.

I request my fellow delegates to come together to fix this system that only benefits the developed world and not the Developing and Impoverished ones

Thank you.

[misty delta]

is there a way to memorize something efficiently bc i kind of easily forget things

[quick wharf]

writing it down works best

not efficient but it's fairly efficient if you really want to remember

[wicked grail]

i get a dollar profit for the donuts and 1.5 for the fruits

and its not just profit, pretty sure it is also abt creativity, etc . like being an entrenprenuer

[misty delta]

Will try

[odd cave]

I think chocolate covered fruits would go over the $15 budget, since fruit can be expensive

if you make the pastry by yourself stick with the donut idea, but add a few other simple pastries as well.
Since flour is cheap and most pastry ingredients are basic and comes in large portion when made
You'll only need a chocolate bar per few pastry (if you use little but enough for taste)

extra suggestion; if someone do bulk-puchase your items you'll give them a discount (This is optional btw)

[odd cave]

You can use flashcard
Or write everything down again instead of re-reading

[misty delta]

im jus hoping i remember all of the thing bc i have presentation tmr

[odd cave]

Formal Audience is a crowd that has the same center of attention and goals, but communicates passively or in one direction.
Examples: lecture listeners and cinema audiences

Planned Expressive Group, is a crowd that is not concerned with the center of attention but has a common goal and the resulting satisfaction.
Examples are people dancing and partying.

Inconvenient Causal Crowds are crowds that are temporary because they want to use the same facilities.
Examples are people queuing and people waiting for public transportation.

Panic Causal Crowds are crowds who are trying to save themselves from danger
For example, people who run during earthquakes, fires, and so on.

Spectator Causal Crowds are crowds who want to see an event without planning it.
Example: People gathered at the accident scene.

Lawless Crowds (Crowds Against Social Norms)
Divided into 2, namely acting crowd and immoral crowd

Acting Crowds are crowds that are formed for emotional reasons and use physical force, for example brawls between students.

Immoral Crowds are crowds that behave contrary to morals, but do not use physical means. Example: drug user group and gambler group.

Is dis good or maybe there's some part i need to fix? Or maybe there's jus smt that isn't even needed

I might forget some shit 💔

[fast lagoon]

anyone in IB

??

International Baccalaureate

[quick wharf]

no but I may know a thing or two about it

I have friends who did ib

[atomic ridge]

Bruh when should I work on my common app and when does it close

[mild coyote]

i just realized i may be carrying too much when school starts

with the binder, clipboard, planner, pencil bag, notebook, and subject book

[quick wharf]

that's not much in a backpack

idk how tf your school works

[gleaming plover]

the only things i carry is my laptop, a single folder, a giant water bottle, and 2 notebooks

[mild coyote]

actually

i have to carry that in my arms

to every class

they dont allow us to bring backpacks into class

we have to keep them in our lockers

so what exactly am i supposed to do in this situation

[mild coyote]

⬆️

[gleaming plover]

what is your school bro 💀

[mild coyote]

small private school

[quick wharf]

if you go to your locker after every class it's gonna be fine

[mild coyote]

yes i do to put other books away but ur sure i can carry binder, clipboard, planner, pencil bag, notebook, subject book?

[quick wharf]

you can have the clipboard carry the notebook but yeah that's totally doable. You can leave your planner with a pen beside it in your locker top shelf and just write it down every time tou go there

you can sandwich a clipboard and notebook between the binder as you transport

[mild coyote]

oh

how

[mild coyote]

thank you yosh

[dawn barn]

question that might also be useful for other ppl

what r the best school supplies to get

[quick wharf]

Kokuyo Campus Notebook
Casio fx115
Good mechanical pencil
Good Eraser

A pencil case that isn't made of plastic or silicon

[dawn barn]

k thx

noted

[quick wharf]

well

how do you learn

not everyone uses notebooks. Some ppl prefer ipad and stylus

[dawn barn]

i use notebook

[quick wharf]

I'm a bit of a pentel advocate. Nice brand

Kokuyo is really good then because the paper is nice

[dawn barn]

ah

[quick wharf]

I'm an engineering student so my needs may be different to yours. I only ever do math and science

[dawn barn]

kk thx

[quick wharf]

I like to have some coloured gel pens. The pentel matte ones are nice

I use sakura gelly roll moonlight. They don't dry instantly but the colours are pretty

I also use a foldable clipboard and 1 inch binder

[weary ember]

What type of engineering major are you going for?

[quick wharf]

mech

[weary ember]

Nice

[quick wharf]

you thinking of engineering?

[atomic ridge]

When does common app close

[weary ember]

Maybe, I wanna do more research first

I hear engineering is hell though😭

[quick wharf]

yeah it's as bad as they say

I really like it

[weary ember]

It's a lot of math, right?

[quick wharf]

yeah

[weary ember]

Is engineering building, designing, or both?

[quick wharf]

I've been mostly designing but did learn to use some machines

both

[weary ember]

What major is mainly/only building or hardware?

[mild coyote]

question do i have all of these

[quick wharf]

yes bro

[wicked grail]

mb i mean 150$

typo on my end

[odd cave]

😭

[mild coyote]

can someone tell me if i have too much in my pencil bag

[young glen]

sure, for high school or another grade level?

[wicked grail]

yea ikr mb bro

donuts are from kripsy kreme ( in aus)

each 1 is like 2$ but i have to buy in 24 pack

i sell for 3

let me give u the prices for the products

[torpid idol]

@wicked grail Your message(s) have been flagged as spam and have been removed.

[quick wharf]

chocolate fruit is more appealing

grapes is a weird pick tho

Oranges better

[wicked grail]

yea i was thinking of removing grapes

[quick wharf]

I'd go mango

mango and chocolate is neat

are the donuts necessary in the face of chocolate drizzled fruits

[wicked grail]

so strawberry, banana, watermelon, mango and choc?

[wicked grail]

its like a side

bc it is popular

[quick wharf]

is it?

chocolate fruits is so much cooler imo

[wicked grail]

im planning to do both

one as the main and 1 as a side

[quick wharf]

so you'll have a greater supply of fruits then

[wicked grail]

yea

[odd cave]

What's your target consumer?

[quick wharf]

can you do mango

[wicked grail]

like 50 to 60 bowls worth

[wicked grail]

sure

[wicked grail]

yr 5-11 and teachers

[quick wharf]

make sure the mango is sweet

I usually leave mango in the sunlight for maybe a day after buying

Idk how watermelon with chocolate would go. I feel like there's too much liquid and it wouldn't go too well with the chocolate drizzle

[odd cave]

I'm unsure about the teacher that'll be buying the product but I got a concept for yr 5-11's

[wicked grail]

i heard watermelon with choc is quite nice

[quick wharf]

oh is that so

worth a try then

[wicked grail]

idk if the choc is liquidy or not

or they refrigerate it

with the watermelon

[quick wharf]

it should be decently viscous and the fruits should be cold enough while the chocolate isn't cold imo

[wicked grail]

yea ik that

[quick wharf]

do not be stingy with the chocolate drizzle either

crushed oreos kinda funny because you gotta remove the filling from each one

[wicked grail]

true

[wicked grail]

1.5kg should be enough

[odd cave]

It's quite certain that yr 5-8 are picky eaters and may be less interested in fruits

I got a concept comes from a successful stall I helped run during a fall season school event. Noodles are extremely popular among students so we sold popular instant noodles (like Indomie), which are tasty, quick to prepare, and very cheap, we also offered refreshing lemonade - a perfect combo that boosted the overall sales since people would get thirsty after eating noodle

• This is a huge success and low chances that they'd be not interested

Noodle is cheap, tasty, quick to prepare. They only cost few cents to a dollar per pack
You can also customize it by adding topics on top of that to attracts people such as sausage, veggies or egg or having spicy options from mild to non-spicy

[quick wharf]

indomie is a great idea

[odd cave]

You can put noodle on paper plate like this, it's only cost few cent

Sells it for 3 dollar while it only take 1 dollar to make delicious quick meal like these

It's also very efficient because people don't have to wait in line too

[quick wharf]

do you live in Indonesia or Singapore?

[odd cave]

he's from aus

[quick wharf]

quite a genius idea

[wicked grail]

me?

[quick wharf]

no, Nate

[odd cave]

I'm from Viet Nam

[wicked grail]

its gonna be spring / summer

so

[odd cave]

Lemonade or cold drink to boost in sale during summer is great too.

[wicked grail]

so i should sack the idea of fruits and desserts?

[odd cave]

If you want teachers to buy it too then yeah I guess you can keep it in
But from my experience I don't see any teacher that'd buy our items much

[wicked grail]

well i would have to talk to my group abt this

[odd cave]

aight, gl

[wicked grail]

sadly, they didnt approve the idea

[wicked grail]

my teacher told me that teachers are gonna spend a lot

[odd cave]

hmm

[odd cave]

Maybe include items that's just for teachers

Most teachers might not prefer mixed noodles, so it’s a better to offer custom food and drink options

Most teacher would prefer food that are tasty but not too messy or heavy.
Choc covered food is good but you may need more than that

and coffee or iced coffee for drinks

[fleet bay]

is it hard to learn powerbi if youve worked a lot with excel before? Im already certified in excel but i wanna exoqnd

[mint flicker]

why does glycolisis end with peruvate?

[cyan palm]

Can someone help me with MUN

Idk what to do

It's my 1st time

[mild coyote]

its complicated, 8th grade but lets just say high school

[mild coyote]

what manga should i buy? you always seem to know best

[young glen]

got it, do you want to send a picture or just list the stuff you have?

[mild coyote]

not home ill list

[mild coyote]

@quick wharf

[quick wharf]

manga is so expensive

buy them second handed on reddit or facebook marketplace

I always try to get the ENTIRE set if I buy manga

but sometimes that can't be helped

[mellow hamlet]

hey, so i'm about to start my 3rd year in secondary school, which means i'll be preparing for my mock exams, junior cert exams, and some important school projects called cbas (classroom-based assessments).
does anyone have any tips on how to stay organised and manage all of this without getting overwhelmed? i've already taken some steps, but i'd really appreciate any advice 🙏

[quick wharf]

use notion

or google calendar

I prefer notion

which you can link to google calendar

try to not procrastinate

and learn effectively. I like pencil and notebook the most

[mellow hamlet]

imma bfr procrastinating increases the quality of my project somehow 😭

but thanks for the advice

it really helps

i'll be sure to try that out 🙏

[quick wharf]

I like to listen to the lecture and then write notes down in my free time instead of doing both simultaneously

it's time inefficient but my favourite way to learn

assuming notes get posted online

morning classes kill discipline not gonna lie

[mellow hamlet]

fair enough icl

i scored lowest in science last year

reason is

the teacher showed us a slide

explained it as we took it down

then literally as soon as she finished explaining

BOOM

next slide

and i'd have a sentence from each slide in my copy

[quick wharf]

yes

so you listen

just listen

go home, search the lesson up and stuff

and take notes!

do your hw in the library or some public area

if you got a laptop

and ofc make friends who can help you out

you can solo high school but uni, you absolutely need to have friends in engineering

I failed 1 class but it could've been up to 3 if I were doing it all alone

and yeah practice

spend 2 days minimum to study for a test

2 days is my go-to

[mellow hamlet]

i have one friend like that, my school is filled with irish roadmen and chavs 💀🙏

well if i asked some of my other friends they might be down

[quick wharf]

group studying is nice with the right people

caffeine helps too but I stay away from it just because

I prefer a good tea or fruit drink

[mellow hamlet]

yeah i'm the same

[quick wharf]

I transit 75mins to school 😔

Its rough

[mellow hamlet]

damn bro 😭 when do u get up??

[quick wharf]

I just skip class sometimes

but like 7am

[mellow hamlet]

must be tough

[mellow hamlet]

[quick wharf]

yeah

[mellow hamlet]

alr that's good

[quick wharf]

and I have friends to count on

not every professor teach well anyways

[mellow hamlet]

yeah i get that

[mild coyote]

not allowed to buy second hand

[quick wharf]

ok do not buy manga for retail

[quick wharf]

the best thing in my current collection is all 7 volumes of Aria the Masterpiece

[mild coyote]

they dont do that at my bookstores

[quick wharf]

which I ordered online on Crunchyroll

never doing it again because of the shipping

Buying anime stuff is worse in Canada than US

[mild coyote]

its cheap where i am

[quick wharf]

no way

English manga always cost hella

[naive mist]

I was homeschooled from kindergarten to now, but last year i did 3 classes at the school (2 hours) a day, I also wanted to be in 9th grade(graduate 2029), any advice on acceleration, grade skipping, and how to balance school and life?

[mild coyote]

can someone help me organize my pencil bag it is too big

[mellow hamlet]

what’s in it?

[young glen]

👍

[silk wraith]

Can someone help me with the triplets in measures 33 and 34, please? I've been stuck on it for a while now

[mild coyote]

⏫

[quick wharf]

you do not need that many colours

or coloured sharpie

or any of the disgusting shades of green

I literally have only 1/3 of the stuff you have

[mild coyote]

i dont have

[mild coyote]

i love olive green

[mild coyote]

yes

[quick wharf]

yes you do

maybe it's sharpie highlighter but still sharpie

[mild coyote]

what colors do i need then

[quick wharf]

also you do not need 2 calcs

[quick wharf]

I'll tell you tmrw

not on pc so I cant sceeenshot and scribble

your sleep schedule is unironically more cooked than mine if you're in the east

[mild coyote]

sctually i do

one is req by school other is the one you tild me to buy

[mild coyote]

im in the west

[quick wharf]

you're not even gonna learn trigonometry in 8th grade

[mild coyote]

im normalizing on wednesday

[quick wharf]

the fx115 will be more useful in 10th grade and so on

[sweet onyx]

i love getting less than 8 hrs of sleep

[mellow hamlet]

WOW

i mean bro

[mild coyote]

so i dont need it

[mellow hamlet]

i used to walk into class with a pencil that hasn’t been sharpened in days, a rubber with holes in it and a short prayer and just slide by

[quick wharf]

indeed

[mellow hamlet]

what are those sharpies and stuff for tho

you do art?

[mild coyote]

no

[quick wharf]

but it is much much better than the one your teacher told you to buy

that's the calculator you actually don't need

unless strictly required

[mild coyote]

they only say incase i need help on calc and they cant help

thats why i have it as backup

[quick wharf]

anyone can use the main functions of a calculator...

your teachers aren't stupid

will they refuse to help you just because you don't use their recommended calculator?

[mellow hamlet]

what’s the difference between that and an ordinary calculator?

[mild coyote]

yeah thats just how it is

[quick wharf]

it's just a scientific calculator

the fractions are in fraction form and you convert to decimal with a button

fractions are inputted not as 1 line

[mild coyote]

(i dont know how to do that in regular math because of an incident)

[quick wharf]

can solve definite integrals and derivatives

has a log base key

can instantaneously solve quadratic and cubic equations

so I don't have to type the quadratic formula entirely

btw I never used fx 115

Based on the buttons I think it has the same functions as sharp el520 (my calc model)

[mild coyote]

ok

[quick wharf]

you do not even know a single thing I was talking about 🔥🔥🔥

[quick wharf]

wow your private school teachers are assholes

did you ask if you could use a different calculator

[mild coyote]

we arent allowed to email over the summer

[mild coyote]

so what should i empty

[mellow hamlet]

i mean i’d get rid of most of the non-necessities if they’re taking up too much space

are the markers and stuff necessary?

[mild coyote]

im trying to note-take like yosh

i forgot how they note-take though

[quick wharf]

I box mathematical formulas or underline the title of the lesson in colour

sometimes shade diagrams

I really don't use that many colours

and this is just my personal style

I've seen girls go really crazy with notes. Honestly not worth the effort to me when I tried to make notes more aesthetic

But like I only have 1 style of handwriting and no highlighters so I can't go all aesthetic

[mellow hamlet]

imo it’s best to be minimal but also make it so that your notes don’t give you a hernia every time you look at them

[sweet onyx]

is it worth it to improve handwriting to make notes easier to read?

[quick wharf]

to some extent yes

until you're personally satisfied

[sweet onyx]

because my handwritings so bad my teachers sometimes make me read what i wrote to them

might not be good for highschool

if they cant even read my work

[quick wharf]

at that point I do think it's worth improving your hand writing

[sweet onyx]

how would you recommend

[quick wharf]

just write stuff on lined paper slowly

close your os other letters with round curves

[sweet onyx]

yeah i probably will need good handwriting for this stem school

[quick wharf]

make sure every single letter you print is distinct from each other

[sweet onyx]

for like equations and formulas

[sweet onyx]

yeah

[quick wharf]

like n and h you gotta be able to differentiate them when they're lower case

[sweet onyx]

yeah i mean its not that bad i just write a cursive regular hybrid and it makes it hard to read

like i always do the cursive e

but nothing else

[quick wharf]

all lower case curved are the same height. You can print on a paper like this if your handwriting is that bad. The dotted lines guides the height of lowercase letters

cursive is always harder to read no matter how pretty it is but if you're keen on it then go for it

I do some weird cursive hybrid that looks bad when I write really fast

[sweet onyx]

i think id prefer a clear non cursive handwriting

[quick wharf]

the slower you write the prettier your letters and vice versa

[sweet onyx]

also another question

if i enjoy math is it a good choice to do two consecutive math classes in one year

like math 2 and 3 in the same year

[quick wharf]

yes

[sweet onyx]

alright

[quick wharf]

I did that in uni (i have no choice)

[sweet onyx]

im also doing ap world history so fun

in freshman year

[cyan palm]

Hello

Can someone help me for mun

Its my first time doing mun

[slender wharf]

I want to go get into pre ap and ap since English classes is now my favorite

But how would I

[wanton kayak]

guys, i'm an international student applying in nyu, could someone help me regarding my application?

[fervent palm]

Put them down in your schedule

[fleet bay]

ask your counselor

[slender wharf]

Ok ty because I want to feel like from my psat 8/9 when I was a freshman I got 800
410(Reading and writing,As I met the benchmark for psat 9th grade)

[warm rover]

So y'all im applying to the Bergen County Academies and Bergen Tech High school, anybody go there and can help me with some essays?

[fleet bay]

um...isn't the psat 8/9 out of 1440?

[mild coyote]

can you now or no?

[quick wharf]

gimme a bit

[atomic ridge]

When should I apply to colleges since the common app is open

[quick wharf]

whenever you want

early application doesn't give an advantage

[north wasp]

Here's an article on this https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/plan-for-college/apply-to-college/applying-to-college-faq

[quick wharf]

just make sure to check the application due date for the programs you're applying for

[quick wharf]

@mild coyote for starters, remove anything that has a line on it

[mild coyote]

ok before we continue im not home yet but im close to the bookstore what manga do i buy (price doesnt really matter)

[quick wharf]

I buy to collect, not read

[mild coyote]

i buy to read so..

[quick wharf]

if you're buying to read, you probably wanna buy something you're not planning to watch the anime for

[mild coyote]

i dont have time to watch pretty much anythig

[quick wharf]

you can always make time to watch something

is there any specific genre you like

[mild coyote]

i can but i procrastinate

[mild coyote]

maybe mystery/thriller/drama

[quick wharf]

fullmetal alchemist fullmetal edition would be nice finds but the anime counterpart is just better

[mild coyote]

i can watch it

[quick wharf]

Land of the Lustrous is extremely good if you're willing to tolerate the slow first half

vagabond has the best art in manga

sadly it'll never finish

Berserk Deluxe edition is really good for vols 2-5

[mild coyote]

well just give me one

[quick wharf]

vagabond and berserk are 18+

which you're defiitely not allowed to own

vinland saga I hear is pretty good

if you can find dungeon meshi box set that's also pretty nice

slow first half tho

[quick wharf]

land of the lustrous or Aria if you just want one however there's no guarantees that you'll enjoy it

first hand manga is genuinely insanely expensive

[mild coyote]

which do you think i will enjoy?

[quick wharf]

Land of the Lustrous

maybe

the protagonist is a beautiful one

aria is episodic. It's mostly just vibes with some poignant chapters here and there

[mild coyote]

sooo

[quick wharf]

I'd be surprised if you can find aria anyway

[mild coyote]

found number 2

[quick wharf]

aria the masterpiece?

[mild coyote]

uhhh aria of the beech forest

[quick wharf]

no

[mild coyote]

i could only find 10

soo what should j do

[quick wharf]

11 would've been a nice volume to own

just read online then switch to physical once you get to that chapter count

this is why I prefer to own full sets

[mild coyote]

so ur sure i will like

[quick wharf]

the only thing I know for a fact you'll like is Fullmetal Alchemist and Monster

based on your genre preferences

especially Fullmetal

[mild coyote]

ill check if they havep

[quick wharf]

20th century boys first half is crazy good

[mild coyote]

monster 1, 4, 5

[quick wharf]

youre not allowed 18+rated manga right

[mild coyote]

dunno

[quick wharf]

Monster is 17+

I read 18+ rated manga at the age of 14

[mild coyote]

they have full metal alchemist 1-2-3 4-5-6 7-8-9 13-14-15 1, 1 2, 2 3, 5, 6, 7, 9

[quick wharf]

is it fullmetal edition

also the anime is just better

manga is very peak and anime turns that to peakest

with some smart direction choices and animation+sound is just great

[mild coyote]

ill hust watch full metal alchemist

because i hust bought monster 1

[mild coyote]

i think it was yes

[quick wharf]

monster manga does have better pacing than anime but anime is still a 1:1 adaptation

the first episode of monster is one of the best first episodes, vastly surpassing that of AoT's (predictable)

[mild coyote]

where do i watch anime anyway

[quick wharf]

I download a folder with ever ep of a finished anime I wanna watch on nyaa.si

I use qbittorent to run the .torrent file

or just watch on hianime

[mild coyote]

my friend uses that

[quick wharf]

I don't stream, I torrent/download because vlc has a bit more customizability

[mild coyote]

he prety much introduced me to anime

[mild coyote]

should i just use hianime

[quick wharf]

yeah

unless you wanna watch dub

then sometimes might gotta torrent

[atomic ridge]

Thanks

[quick wharf]

a lot more gbs for micro quality differences woohoo

[mild coyote]

i hate dub

[mild coyote]

so when do i sleep on regular school days i wake up at 5:30-5:45 am (usually 5:35)

[quick wharf]

if you ever watch howl's moving castle, or honestly any ghibli movie, dub is better

[quick wharf]

8hrs before you wake up

[mild coyote]

but 5-8 is 3

[quick wharf]

?

[gleaming plover]

around 9 PM

[quick wharf]

^

[mild coyote]

go to bed at 9:45?

or 8:45

i cant tell

[quick wharf]

9:30 or earlier

[mild coyote]

i can fall asleep in 5-10 minutes

so good to bed at 9:15?

or 9:30

[quick wharf]

the 15mins difference at night is really not that serious

you gotta be able to make your own life choices

[gleaming plover]

yea if you want the full 8 hours

9 45 pm

[mild coyote]

how do you use texxit bot commands?

[quick wharf]

I have 0 idea

[mild coyote]

oh

[quick wharf]

not a useful skill you need in your life

[mild coyote]

what.

[mild coyote]

where do i read manga online

[quick wharf]

proxy.cubari.moe

[mild coyote]

ty

[mild coyote]

removed do you want updated picture?

[mild coyote]

which one do i watch

[quick wharf]

no

[quick wharf]

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is literally the best anime of all time

I watched a decent amount of anime before FMAB and then I watched FMAB, anime hasn't been as good ever since.

ofc after that I still watched a ton of absolutely amazing anime but they're just not on the level of FMAB

[honest rapids]

yo so how do i study for physical science

idk what it is but im going to have it

[mild coyote]

what else do i remove

[mild coyote]

well

FMA or FMAB

[quick wharf]

fmab

start straight from brotherhood

if you like ep 2, stick to the end

if ep 2 was bad (impossible) then drop

[mild coyote]

what else do i remove now i dont know

[quick wharf]

[gusty spear]

How hard is linear algebra

I’ve heard I have to do it for computer engineering

[white oxide]

Hi may I ask what grade you're in? I had to learn it in middle school and take it as a freshman in highschool, It's simple once you get to understand it and it becomes one of the easiest subjects

Some teachers teach it a certain way bc of their curriculums so they may do it a harder way but if you look up some maths vids on YT you can find sooooo much easier ways

[gusty spear]

10th, are you sure we are talking about the same thing?

[white oxide]

Yes I took it in 10th and 11th as well

[gusty spear]

I took algebra 1 in 8th grade and I’m in algebra 2

[white oxide]

You will need it for computer engineering

[gusty spear]

Are you talking about 3d algebra or just normal algebra

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS9JESuaSikW2wXvPB-4pLC8hkxlaXXnDKRkcqPkprmXZlZ_526nsxI4Z02beC2WBjG1Rq82D5zmAoZvzl_KB_l4sa20t6JoI8AkxQU5APu

This is what I mean

By linear algebra

[white oxide]

Yes thats what I meant too mb for not clarifying

[gusty spear]

That’s weird

They never taught us that

[white oxide]

I took a graphics class and that was apart of the things I had to learn, some classes won't go in depth about it I know mine didn't so I had to further research on my own

[gusty spear]

Nvm apparently I did learn it I just didn’t pay attention in algebra 1

[white oxide]

Lol you're all good

[gusty spear]

There is a college version that is much harder tho

[white oxide]

It's just really tedious to do, I didn't take the college prep course for it, I know it was super time consuming for graphics and engineering

[gusty spear]

Algebra moment

I’ve grown to like math actually

It’s interesting

[white oxide]

I'm still learning to lol, I have AP Calc

[gusty spear]

I heard it’s easier than pre calc

Idk tho

[hard sonnet]

im currently a aviation maintnace student and what is "Extraneous" for human factors. im struggling to fing it..

oops

[mild coyote]

wat

[quick wharf]

you can get away with only having 4-6 colours

I assumed that you'd make your notes a little extra aesthetic but doubt you would

[mild coyote]

i love aesthetic notes

[mild coyote]

do i have that many? i dont know honestly

[quick wharf]

They're so much effort

I could never as a not bio person

[inner sleet]

What misc?

[mild coyote]

that is true, also tomorrow i will send you someones handwriting i like, and the handwriting i practiced

[quick wharf]

miscellaneous

basically anything

I was looking for this channel

Ncea or Cambridge which one better?

[quick wharf]

uni?

obviously program dependant no?

[inner sleet]

Nah for high school

[full ore]

How do you run a club and keep your grades up while living away from home?

[fading bramble]

ig u should be able to manage ur time well- try to focus mainly on ur studies n set limits for how much time you're devoting to the club..
moreover, make sure not to take the weight of all of the work only on ur shoulders, distribute it with other club members (specially the trustworthy ones)..

[unkempt coral]

I found someone who is lending out their Upwork and Freelancer accounts.

[full ore]

noted, thank you so much!

[warm axle]

never took linear algebra yet, from what i've heard it's not hard but tedious. it's so tedious in fact, that engineering schools have a separate linear algebra class for engineers.

[scenic temple]

is ap microecon easy to self study (im in my senior year) lmk

im taking ap bio, calc, gov, and macro

hey guys hows this logo

Quick question, for anyone who has done njhs/nhs, what do you do? Is it mostly volunteering? Do you do projects? Any information on that would be very helpful.

[dawn barn]

The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship and helps middle-level students develop the knowledge and skills to become well-rounded student leaders in their school, community, and beyond.

NJHS chapters operate in all 50 states and schools around the world, engaging and serving more than one million students. Each year, the average NJHS chapter contributes:

650 hours of school/community service
$1,000 in charitable donations
500 pounds of food to local, state, and national causes
375 pints of blood

source: njhs.us

i hae a friend who does njhs so i can also give u more details once i get ahold of them

[weary ember]

That would be great if you could

[dawn barn]

k so they literally just told me that they volunteer and it looks good on college apps

i think the websites desc was better honestly

[weary ember]

So it's just mostly volunteering, alright. Thanks for the info

[dawn barn]

np!

[mild coyote]

i still think my pencil bag is too big

[fervent palm]

2 pencils, 2 colors of highlighers, maybe collored pencils, a good pen, and maybe a standalone eraser. That's all I needed my entire HS career

[fervent palm]

Keep forgetting to use the reply feature mb ^

[quick wharf]

I had an abominable lineup of stationary in high school

[mild coyote]

ty

[mild coyote]

i have 2 mechanical pencils, over 5 highlighters and pens, 2 erasers, backup erasers and .05, .07mm lead

2 calculators

[quick wharf]

chilling

.5 and .3>.7

[fervent palm]

you don't need multiple erasers and more than like 3 highlighers

[fervent palm]

Also a graphing calculator should be all that you need

[quick wharf]

you were allowd them in high school?

My school provided them so I didn't need to buy one. For the most part, graphing calcs are banned

banned in uni

[fervent palm]

They were provided, but most of us bought them to use at home

I use graphing calc in uni, they just aren't useful in uni

[quick wharf]

I just downloaded a graphing calc emulator

so I can get used to the buttons without paying anything

piracy/tech literacy is one of the best skills to have

well there's free graphing emulators online

[fervent palm]

Yeah I just never really got into them

I prefer my trusty TI-84

[scenic temple]

is ap microecon easy to self study (im in my senior year) lmk
im taking ap bio, calc, gov, and macro

[mild coyote]

i dont have any .3 lead

[mild coyote]

i have a no-dust eraser and regular erasers, and backup regular erasers, and i'll remove more highlighters but what about colored pens do those matter?

[mild coyote]

the supply list does not say i need a graphing calculator

but i do have one right next to me

the ti-84 plus edition

and the ones in my bag

are

ti-30XA

and the

[quick wharf]

don't need it unless you really need that precision in your drawing

would've been nice to have in my drafting class but eh not a necessity at all

.5 is best

[mild coyote]

i use that

[mild coyote]

Casio fx-115ES Plus 2nd Edition

[mild coyote]

can you answer the questions above since motu is probably dead

[quick wharf]

what question

[mild coyote]

this

[mild coyote]

these below

[quick wharf]

your supply list is correct about that if you're wondering

[quick wharf]

just have 5 coloured pens

[mild coyote]

wait what

[quick wharf]

pink, blue, red, purple, something

[mild coyote]

i require red and blue

[quick wharf]

you do NOT need a graphing calculator

at all

[mild coyote]

ok

[mild coyote]

how many highlighters should i have

[quick wharf]

depends on how aesthetic your notes are about to get. 1-4

I use 0

also I just don't have a highlighter

[gleaming plover]

i like 0.9

even though it takes up a lot of space

[mild coyote]

i highlight

[hexed cloak]

i have a big question guys

after 10 years i have finally figured out what i want to do when i finish school. i want to stidy paramedicine. alot of the unis i have looked at require a 70+ atar. if i do not avchieve a high atar and dont graduate, are there courses i can take to still get into the feild.

[mild coyote]

alright finished now what

[quick wharf]

you're done

gonna be real, you don't even need the fx115 in 8th grade

but in 10th grade and after, as long as you're doing math, you'll need it

My school mandates sharp el520

[cloud fern]

Get this approved first by going to #🎫ㆍsubmit-ticket please

[mild coyote]

okk

[mild coyote]

should i have to do anything in the middle of the year

[quick wharf]

no

until your teacher tells you to

I needed an eraser shield for drafting. They are annoying to use imo

[mild coyote]

what is that

[quick wharf]

google exists

it's just a piece of thin metal with small cutouts so you can erase through those cuts to erase small areas without erasing adjacent lines

[mild coyote]

oh its a stencil

[quick wharf]

mechanical pencil eraser does the same thing

that thing don't last long unfortunately

[mild coyote]

yes

[mild coyote]

how do i get better at projects

for example, papers, poster boards, and presentations

[quick wharf]

Here's one thing you gotta accept. Talent>>>>>Hardwork but working hard yields YOUR best result. Talent and hardwork is deadly together

Projects you gotta cater to what the teacher wants to see. Presentations just know your info very very well to the point you do not need a script

Unscripted presentations are more engaging

Poster boards are free, just take a long time. Just write well

being artistic helps. I'm not artistic myself

[mild coyote]

what if your teacher is biased (my english teacher)

[mild coyote]

wait how are they free

[mild coyote]

wrong reply

i meant for paper

[mild coyote]

i try but i have a small amount of social anxiety so i speak REALLY fast

and infact

i spoke so fast i finished my 6 minute presentation in 1 minute and 36 seconds

[quick wharf]

you'll gradually overcome it by making mistakes first hand

[mild coyote]

which is not ideal for the time requirement

[quick wharf]

and practice at home

Some things just needs to be taught to you first hand and it sucks but it sticks with you best

[quick wharf]

that doesn't sound like a small amount

[quick wharf]

Nothing you can do about that

[mild coyote]

i cant even speak in voice chats with strangers (only text chats work)

i usually cant even join one while muted

[mild coyote]

oh

[quick wharf]

Also make good friends that can help you through classes. Having your writing proofread is good. My proofreader is ChatGPT because I don't want my writing to be seen

[mild coyote]

but practice w hat

[quick wharf]

your presentation

you're going into 8th grade, your skillset is gonna be shit but surely you have some strenghts

[mild coyote]

i have many good friends but only 2-3 that can help me with classes but the problem with that is im the one helping them get the good grades

which in turn makes me slightly worse

[quick wharf]

Keep helping them

if they talk to you outside of school

[mild coyote]

i do

[quick wharf]

I just help because anyway because who knows, I might count on others in the future

[mild coyote]

i have been in a group chat with them since february

its also still active

[quick wharf]

Good

My friend groups have shifted decently from 7th grade to Uni

[mild coyote]

what do i ask it to proofread

[quick wharf]

How can I make my writing to be better/according to this criteria

You ask AI the same questions you'd ask a human

anyway I shouldn't be endorsing the use of AI as it's against server rules

[mild coyote]

i dont know much about engligh because i have had a long line of bad english teachers

so i dont really know what to ask

[quick wharf]

you don't ask your friends questions?

[mild coyote]

they usually ask me

[quick wharf]

You can still count on people with lower intellect than you to critique your presentations, writing, anything

and you'll make new friends in 8th grade

[mild coyote]

im honestly not sure if anyone new will be at the school 😭

[mild coyote]

i usually always need help with writing

which i keep forgetting to practice

[quick wharf]

also there's #english-help here

[mild coyote]

i use that alot

most problems have been solved

[quick wharf]

A lot is two words

anyway everything is gonna take practice

also don't be so stuck up on academics in 8th grade. You're gonna lose that time in the future

just develop good work habits

[mild coyote]

even on the papers?

[quick wharf]

Yes

[mild coyote]

how do you practice writing papers

[quick wharf]

Just learn from your mistakes. Best writing advice I can give you is that if possible condense what you're writing in a few words into a synonym word

So instead of saying running fast, you say sprint

thesaurus and dictionary is your friend

[mild coyote]

i usually always use fancier words but i am always afraid of the teacher accusing me of using ai

pretty much everywhere i am scared of that

for example

[quick wharf]

Fancy words isn't allat

[mild coyote]

i would have used the word frightened

but its an aversion for me

[quick wharf]

You do not need to say discombobulated instead of confused

[mild coyote]

im gonna be honest i wouldnt know any other word for discombobulated

confused is the last thing to come to my mind

[quick wharf]

I mean fair enough

[quick wharf]

just use it

[mild coyote]

i know the word itself very well

[quick wharf]

I'm not afraid of that at all

[mild coyote]

its happened to one of my friends before

so its always there

[quick wharf]

You can use GPT Zero but I'm able to perfectly discern AI from people because I use AI a lot and I read books

[mild coyote]

another problem is

they dont always tell ypu what to do in the paper

for example

[quick wharf]

Yeah that's too bad

[mild coyote]

my history teacher told us to write a paper

but she never told us to indent

and grammar

some things that word suggested

she got rid of

[sharp kraken]

You can screen record yourself writing the paper if you do it in one sitting ( I write papers in one sitting so it works for me )

For proof

[quick wharf]

Hard work is gonna feel like a scam at some point in your life

[mild coyote]

and when some words were capitalized

[quick wharf]

perhaps even now

[sharp kraken]

If your teacher accuses you

[mild coyote]

she decapitalized them

[quick wharf]

even then work hard if you can't work smart

oh grammarly is good

[mild coyote]

even though word said too

[mild coyote]

it does

[quick wharf]

bad grammar is utterly embarrassing

[mild coyote]

i use

[mild coyote]

i dont struggle with bad grammar as in like

i write the entire paper without grammar and then go through it

adding grammar in the process

[quick wharf]

you'll still make a grammar mistake here and there

[mild coyote]

and sometimes

i just have to deal with stupidity without common sense

when on my history final

[quick wharf]

That's English class for you. Some things can't be helped

[mild coyote]

well this is for history 😭

[mild coyote]

one little bonus question was

what does the word "Malhado" mean in english

and it was from before as they said

"Misfortune"

(even though when translated its wet or ill-fated)

[quick wharf]

You're bound to encounter BS questions everywhere

[mild coyote]

but i was marked wrong

because apparently

i was supposed to say

[quick wharf]

You can argue for marks

[mild coyote]

wait oops

i messed that up

other way around

i meant to do

[quick wharf]

be able to advocate for yourself but if you deserve the L then just take it

[mild coyote]

wait

im confusing myself

well

it was something related to

isle de malhado

and "isle de" was not in the question

but i still got marked wrong

[quick wharf]

what kind of history are you learning? Sounds like an absolute snoozefest

[mild coyote]

they take the final back

[mild coyote]

texas history

ok wait

[quick wharf]

Is that where you live?

[mild coyote]

let me say this

much more proper

[mild coyote]

yes

[quick wharf]

😹

isn't Texas kinda cheap housing wise

[mild coyote]

the question on my history final was "what does malhado mean in english" and i put "misfortune" but i was marked wrong and i asked what happened and they told me "it was supposed to be isle de malhado"

and

where is the isle de

it didnt say

what does isle de malhado mean in english

it said malhado

[quick wharf]

No idea

BS questions can't be helped
