[quick wharf]

not the last time you're gonna encounter them

[mild coyote]

the only time this was brought up in class

was once before the test

atleast a week before

and they said

[quick wharf]

That happens

[mild coyote]

"make sure to include isle de"

but IM NOT GOING TO REMEMBER THAT

i was purposely being set up for failure

[quick wharf]

If they say make sure to study .... then write it down

[mild coyote]

i go with common sense and logic

[mild coyote]

i do and i did

but problem was

i went with common sense

it only said malhado

not isle de

and

i was thinking of adding the isle de

[quick wharf]

It's just 1 BONUS question

[mild coyote]

but in my mind i was thinking

[quick wharf]

not that deep

[mild coyote]

(what if they mark it wrong)

[quick wharf]

7th grade has ZERO stakes in your future

[mild coyote]

i sadly have a deeprooted affection for perfectionism

[quick wharf]

You can watch yourself burn them

[mild coyote]

i got that 104/105

on that history final

it doesnt matter in the end

which i have learned

but the main reason i do

is because i want to be the person that is announced to have scored highest on the test

but

it doesnt happen

[quick wharf]

Don't let your ego get the best of you

[mild coyote]

usually my friends get that title

[mild coyote]

i usually dont i just want that once

i dont need it again

and honestly

i could probably easily get it

i usually only study 5 days in advance

[quick wharf]

Enjoying life is more important before grade 9

[quick wharf]

are you fr

[mild coyote]

i dont like to cram

[quick wharf]

I count myself lucky if I get more than 2 days in advance to study

In Uni

[mild coyote]

thats another problem for me

[quick wharf]

I take 7 classes. I'm in an anomaly school

It's soul crushing

[mild coyote]

because sometimes people delay our study session

where the teacher tells us what we need to study

so sometimes

we dont get everything

[quick wharf]

keep that up

[mild coyote]

and they dont give out study sheets

usually only on 9 week exam, mid-term, final

[quick wharf]

you said you procrastinate, doesn't sound like you do if you study 5 days in advance

just goss to show how much time you have in high school. Enjoy kt

[mild coyote]

but one problem with last year was because i wasnt doing any quizlets in the beginning of the year

[mild coyote]

actually i used to procrastinate allot

but i got much better at the end of the year

[quick wharf]

A lot is 2 words

not 1

[mild coyote]

i keep forgetting

[quick wharf]

And if you don't break that habit it'll stab you

[quick wharf]

same

though I failed 1 class, hella money down the drain

[mild coyote]

my teachers dont really care for some reason..

highschool will happen and then they will probably..?

[quick wharf]

I came out learning a lot and that class was HARD AS FUCK so I don't feel too shitty

Amazing professor but his tests are the concoction of Hades

[mild coyote]

speaking of hard classes

i was planning on what to do for ap/honor classes

because

after next year

[quick wharf]

Honor classes are freeeeeee

[mild coyote]

aka freshman year

i am skipping 10th

and going into 11th

back to where i was

(i will be learning 10th grade material on the side)

[quick wharf]

I don't think I'd be saying this in high school

10th grade is the easiest grade in my experience

[mild coyote]

how do you study for them

[mild coyote]

oh and im skipping it.. 😭

[quick wharf]

My material is different to yours

[mild coyote]

well anyway

[quick wharf]

Just listen to lecture, take notes in your free time, practice

[mild coyote]

do you recommend any specific honors/ap

[quick wharf]

Don't listen and take notss at the same time

[mild coyote]

cant

absolute must

they dont record classes in this school

[quick wharf]

1. Calculus, physics
2. Chemistry
   3.idk

Embrace failure

It teaches you to be unethical which is gonna save future you

No way you taking ap classes in 8th grade

[mild coyote]

nonono

preparing for highschool

[quick wharf]

8th grade really so not serious

[mild coyote]

thats why i prepare for the next year

[quick wharf]

After that start trying. 11th and 12th geade matter a lot

[mild coyote]

next year

i will be begging for help for 11th

and 12th

[quick wharf]

It's a difficulty spike you can't prepare for

[mild coyote]

and is already scary enough in 2-3 years i have to do SATs

[quick wharf]

10th to 11th, 12th to Uni are big jumps

[mild coyote]

for me its 9th to 11th

but ill be learning stuff on i guess khan academy

or another online school

[quick wharf]

also don't be that guy who complains to others about getting 99/100

[mild coyote]

oh dear

well i wont anymore

[quick wharf]

I really don't have much to tell you. You're inevitably gonna learn things the hard way

Goes without saying but do extracurriculars

[mild coyote]

but nothing is interesting to me

[quick wharf]

and yes you do need to improve writing skills but that's gonna happen as you go to school

[mild coyote]

especially since its so HOT outside

[mild coyote]

as in writing do you mean handwriting or writing papers?

[quick wharf]

writing papers

but why not both

[mild coyote]

im already doing the first

[mild coyote]

anything else i need to improve

or prepare for

[quick wharf]

it's only 8th grade man

if it comes to uni advice I'm gonna be saying completely different things

[mild coyote]

but i want to prepare for the skip

[quick wharf]

well get ready to spend more time in 11th grade

acing 8th grade isn't preparing you for 11th grade. Just don't perform too trash

[mild coyote]

one thing im doing is grammar on khan academy

[quick wharf]

grammar just scales with practice

I don't think English is worth self studying

[mild coyote]

and i asked for what i should do on khan academy to preactice on decimals and fractions and they told me to do pre-algebra but i dont see much

[mild coyote]

,as in grammar

i mean

predicate adjectives

nominatives

diagramming

[quick wharf]

pre algrebra 🥀

[mild coyote]

correlative conjunctions

ESPECIALLY clauses

[quick wharf]

yeah idk what all that stuff is

[mild coyote]

why does no one know 😭

[quick wharf]

i just be using them subconcious

it's useless terminology after english class

and just study their definitions during english class

[mild coyote]

i almost failed english class because the teacher couldnt teach it

and apparently i was supposed to learn most of it last year

(surprise i wasnt there)

[quick wharf]

me with a class called strength of materials

tbf I also didn't try very hard that class

too boring

also I just have too many classes

[mild coyote]

i did the entire book i finished every practice problem

that existed

and reread definitions etc

ended with a b-

or

i dont remember

it was an 87

[quick wharf]

you're gonna have different teachers

I'll take an 87

[mild coyote]

small school

same teacher

until highschool

[quick wharf]

you only got 1 more year of that small school left

[mild coyote]

we wouldve swapped after the first day

[mild coyote]

its also a highschool

[quick wharf]

I can't afford private school fr

looks like a simulation unironically

[mild coyote]

we almost cant either

[mild coyote]

it basically is

[quick wharf]

why not go to a public school

[mild coyote]

no backpack allowed in class

[mild coyote]

apparently

quality of education

and bad teacher

and bully

[quick wharf]

you think uni would be any different?

bully is just cap

[mild coyote]

well they are mature

(maybe)

i usually avoid people

unless i dont

[quick wharf]

no shot you're going to a private university

unless scholarship

[mild coyote]

thats what my entire life is riding on

which is

uhh

[quick wharf]

what opportunities does your private school present that a public one doesn't?

extracurriculars matter

[mild coyote]

nothing

infact worse

[quick wharf]

ok bruh

[mild coyote]

like what

[quick wharf]

please go to a public high school

[mild coyote]

i cant

well

one resort

is

an online public high school

[quick wharf]

ideally related to your prospective major if possible (good luck), be in a club and have a leadership role, anything helps really

[quick wharf]

is there no real life public school near you

[mild coyote]

many

[quick wharf]

you take online school to inflate your grade or just get a stupid class over with

[mild coyote]

not sure what im majoring but it will be related to medical, they dont have clubs (maybe)

[mild coyote]

i wouldnt know how to do either

[quick wharf]

haha dissection clubs are pretty common in a public high school

just take IB if you wanna sell your soul to school

[mild coyote]

i dont know what

[quick wharf]

it's a hard high school program that uses a more world wide standardized curriculum

only take it if you're REALLY smart or want to move out of your country

[mild coyote]

i dont know about either

[quick wharf]

anyway you really should move to a public school after this

[mild coyote]

one of my friends is doing that for the medical program

near me

at the public high school

[quick wharf]

good for them

[mild coyote]

i may do the same

[quick wharf]

see, you should do the same

[mild coyote]

it depends

i have NEVER

been to public school

[quick wharf]

it's great

just surround yourself with the right people

[mild coyote]

how would i find those

[quick wharf]

private school teachers teach for the paycheck

that's not a teacher I want to be, ever

[quick wharf]

I was in sea cadets and that's where I found the best people

[mild coyote]

i have one great teacher

at the school

[quick wharf]

high school and elementary school I still have good friends

[mild coyote]

i hated every elementary school friend i had

[quick wharf]

they're stupid

anyway

[mild coyote]

i wont disagree

[quick wharf]

one of my best friends vape now, it's kinda sad

[mild coyote]

oh no

[quick wharf]

he chill tho

[mild coyote]

thats nice

[quick wharf]

so join cool organizations/clubs

maybe it'll help network

in uni, I met up with 1 guy because I needed programming help and we clicked so instantly also we had 1 mutual friend

[mild coyote]

i do not know cool 😭

chess, crossword puzzles, and learning are most of my interests

also tennis too

[quick wharf]

during the last month of uni, I had some more trauma bonding completed

[mild coyote]

i just

dont know what to do about school

[quick wharf]

you tryna complete life too fast

[mild coyote]

people already say i act like someone in their 60's

i dont think thats good

[quick wharf]

yeah just relax

it's only 8th grade

[mild coyote]

i already relate to my grandmother more than regular friends

[quick wharf]

I was watching anime all day during 8th grade (covid)

and Discord

stupid things you do in 8th grade barely have any consequences. 11th and 12th grade a little different story

[mild coyote]

im only on episode 6 of fmab

[mild coyote]

highschool im scared of

im not scared of

the grade itself

[quick wharf]

hows it

[mild coyote]

im scared of the school situation

[mild coyote]

i love the show

i just love dark themes

[quick wharf]

bro what situation

[mild coyote]

i have 3 life paths

[quick wharf]

it's the darkest thing without being too dark

[mild coyote]

stay in the private school

go to in person public school

or online public school

and i can't decide on anything them

[quick wharf]

cross the last option out

[mild coyote]

and now i dont know anymore

ok why is my leg vibrating

[quick wharf]

please, DO NOT online school unless it's for some stupid class you wanna get over with/inflate grade

[mild coyote]

i online schooled since 4th grade until 6th

or was it 5th

i dont know

but it was because of a personal situtation

[quick wharf]

ok now that situation is over

[mild coyote]

i didnt do well

[quick wharf]

not gonna define your life going forward

[mild coyote]

but

i wasnt great back then

[mild coyote]

what will is the school choice

and i

dont know

[quick wharf]

what should I even tell you

[mild coyote]

i just want to get into a decent uni

[quick wharf]

I'm not academically gifted

[mild coyote]

that can get me into med school

[quick wharf]

my uni is super easy to get into but hard to survive

challenging yourself will make you adapt to challenges

[mild coyote]

i dont know if i am but i dont think that matters

[mild coyote]

im great at that unless its social

then i shutdown

full factory reset

i even gain a stutter

somehow

very small

super super small

but it exists

[quick wharf]

k

you'll meet people that draw the confidence out of you

that was 12th grade for me

[mild coyote]

one thing i try to do

is not to fill a stereotype

and that is to make friends with women

which i very easily do

concerning

[quick wharf]

also my confidence which could definitely use improvement but it's better than it once was

[mild coyote]

but

thats ok

[quick wharf]

was a biproduct of my regrets

[mild coyote]

that i would also need to do

[mild coyote]

i dont know if i have regrets

but i will if i dont choose the right school

[quick wharf]

what reason do you have to choose your private school over a public one

just already made connections?

[mild coyote]

yes

thats another reason

im not skipping 8th

and going back to 9th

[quick wharf]

Not many friendships can withstand the test of time but there are ones that do

[mild coyote]

but

the main reason

is because we are separated by floors

and we will never see eachother except the end of the day

[quick wharf]

private school and public school grade conversion idk if it's 1:1

[mild coyote]

definitely not

but with the new phone law

probablyy

[quick wharf]

guess what, it is not rare to have a friend you'll not see until a year later

[mild coyote]

well i know that

that happened for one person

from elementary

he appeared in that school

(i didnt like)

in both

then

(he smelled worse??)

every day

but

well anyway

he is nice

ok

back on topic

[quick wharf]

💀

[mild coyote]

moldy cheese

[quick wharf]

wtf can I even say to you

I'm just a Discord user at the end of the day

[mild coyote]

i think we solved paper, presentation, poster board

[quick wharf]

I'm a literal C student in uni

[mild coyote]

well atleast you can advise me

[mild coyote]

thats ok

[quick wharf]

might as well be an A student in high school I'm gonna be real

[mild coyote]

i dont know if its ok for you

but its ok for me

[quick wharf]

I'm locking in harder next year for sure

I don't wanna fail another class

I did try hard in uni but could try harder next year

[mild coyote]

thats what i tell myself

thats what i will actually do

[quick wharf]

same

will I actually

what I do know is that I'll put more effort in this year than the previous

that's how it goes every year

[mild coyote]

one thing i know ill do is

make quizlets

and actually study

i cant be i was getting 80's back then

well anyway

[mild coyote]

this

[mild coyote]

this

have we actually solved it

and i dont know about school decisions anymore

[quick wharf]

you won't know until you actually do them

[quick wharf]

this is a fact I can find solace in

it's improvement even if not as much as I wanted to

it's still a considerable self improvement

[mild coyote]

i will probably ask for helping in 2-3 months

[quick wharf]

I'd say try to go public for high school

[mild coyote]

its a last resort for us

but one thing i do know is

[quick wharf]

incase the family go broke?

[mild coyote]

no

bully

well

stereotypes

of public school

but

if this scenario happens

which is

i ask

if we can go to public highschool

and they say yes

[quick wharf]

Well

[mild coyote]

is

either

they will be able to pay bills either

but one thing i do know is

my dad will be able to upgrade his phone soon

then i get a new 15 pro max+

then

[quick wharf]

private school doesn't seem to provide extracurricular opportunities as much as a public one which doesn't provide much either

[mild coyote]

he can upgrade his work computer

which either

i get his 5k work computer

or a new one

[quick wharf]

btw if you get a new phone yourself, do NOT get an iPhone unless you love imessages that much

[mild coyote]

i use iphone as a phone

and i already have an apple watch

airpods

etc

im in the ecosystem

[mild coyote]

which i would like

and i know im getting a new desk

possibly new shelves

etc

[quick wharf]

unless it's your dad's old one or something

[mild coyote]

life would just be better

[mild coyote]

it will usually always be his old

which im perfectly fine with its basically the newest

[quick wharf]

ok then

macbook is the truly disgusting apple product

[mild coyote]

do u know anything about gaming or just like good desktops in general

(monitors too)

or someone else would know

[quick wharf]

Noob but not completely know nothing

I play a ron of single player games so Ik gaming. I used to play Fortnite in 7th grade when it was peak

[mild coyote]

i play

complicated games

with gimmicks of my choosing

and usually

i avoid games with specific mechanics i hate

kuje

[quick wharf]

I play a quarter of the Smash roster games

[mild coyote]

its so specific

(blocking, parrying, flicking mouse)

oh wow

its very late

[quick wharf]

turn based is vastly superior

[mild coyote]

i like those too

[quick wharf]

just go to bed

[mild coyote]

ok

can u summarize what happened

[quick wharf]

or watch fmab

[mild coyote]

my brain is fried

[quick wharf]

no

[mild coyote]

ok

i will think

or try to

let ssee

[quick wharf]

sleep to reset your brain

[mild coyote]

i learned how to do paper, presentation, and poster board

new life expectations

i need to focus on handwriting and writing papers

[quick wharf]

not a 100% chance you get a stellar grade

Papers isn't my field expertise because my major actually has employment (not that much)

[mild coyote]

and the neverending question of what highschool i should do because of my situation

oh right

one more question

it was probably answered atleast a week ago

[mild coyote]

how study

[quick wharf]

I just listen to lecture, take notes in my free time, and practice

I only do math and science

[mild coyote]

what if i cant and cant and can do in that order

[mild coyote]

i have all the others too

[quick wharf]

then your learning will be more suboptimal due to putting less time in

[quick wharf]

can't say anything to those

[mild coyote]

ok well

i can listen

but never again

because they dont record it

[quick wharf]

Still, if it's math or science which can just be brushed up using online resources

also if your teacher teaches so bad that you can say you unlearn the material

good luck

just ask students who already had a teacher you're going to have advice

[mild coyote]

english

[mild coyote]

i dont have access to them

[quick wharf]

just adapt

[mild coyote]

i try

[quick wharf]

if it's stuff you can't just search up online then write it down during the lesson

I take notes from YouTube videos sometimes too

[mild coyote]

one thing about just like

math

english

or really any stem subject

how do i get practice problems other than from the book

[quick wharf]

Rough

I have have ChatGPT generate

[mild coyote]

what should i say

[quick wharf]

It's so hard to practice without given materials

[quick wharf]

ok I only use gpt to generate multi choice questions

don't trust AI too much

[quick wharf]

but like there's probably a premade Quizlet deck out there as well

[mild coyote]

how would i

for math

[quick wharf]

generate questions from [unit name]

ChatGPT should be more capable of doing questions it generates itself than ones you send

[mild coyote]

mk

[quick wharf]

and you can always double check with symbolab or wolfram alpha if it isn't a word problem

you can screenshot YouTube practice questions

High school isn't as textbook based as uni

in Uni you'll probably have to search the textbook

if not whatever practice your teacher sends

[quick wharf]

I doubt you'll find yourself practicing too much

My workbook was big lmao

[mild coyote]

i need it for decimals and fractions

because we went on vacation during that lesson

everytime

for each grade

which is very specific 😭

[quick wharf]

calculators exist

[mild coyote]

when it isnt allowed

[quick wharf]

adding fractions is actually quite handy

[mild coyote]

which always makes me fail

[mild coyote]

thats why i need to know how

[quick wharf]

make the denominators the lowest common multiple

[mild coyote]

thats another that i dont know how

[quick wharf]

honestly

YouTube is better than if I explain

[mild coyote]

i honestly have tried youtube

but brain says no

[quick wharf]

YouTube was the best academic resource in high school for me

In Uni I have a different goat

[quick wharf]

you didn't

[mild coyote]

no i really have

atleast 2-3 months ago

i tried to learn it

but then it just

went poof

[quick wharf]

if you're incapable of self studying, you're cooked

[mild coyote]

speaking of that

[quick wharf]

did you take notes from the video?

[mild coyote]

what should i be learning from khan academy

[quick wharf]

algebra

[mild coyote]

no i did practice problems

[quick wharf]

but you didn't take notes

so the retention is worse

[mild coyote]

was i supposed too

[mild coyote]

anything else?

[quick wharf]

it's tedious but if you want better retention yeah

[quick wharf]

no

[mild coyote]

ok ill do that tomorrow-ish

well

what is tomorrow anymore

it is the next day

[quick wharf]

you gotta discover your note taking format

[mild coyote]

should i stop learning pre-algebra or grammar or keep learning, and how should i be learning? should i just focus on one until its done or do it equally

[mild coyote]

cant really do that when school forces one

[quick wharf]

Do it equally but I like to do 1 at a time personally

I need to start shifting to equally

but 1 at a time isn't bad either even if it's worse

[mild coyote]

struggled with that

i have an obsession of

doing 1 thing

completing it

instead of equality

[quick wharf]

it's like a checklist

[quick wharf]

just enjoy life

I wouldn't learn grammar. It'll come to you

[mild coyote]

but i want to learn

[mild coyote]

diagramming and gerunds etc dont come to me 😭

you NEVER use them again

which makes it worth

[quick wharf]

learn it when English class is live

the true advantage in my experience is violating academic integrity. I literally had pictures to parts of some tests I've taken

A club senior helped me out so much

[mild coyote]

i wouldnt know how to do any of those that you just listed

because teacher makes me unlearn

[quick wharf]

cooked

[mild coyote]

should i learn

[quick wharf]

I'd rather invest more time during the school year than pre study

[mild coyote]

well i dont really have school yet

[quick wharf]

So wait for it to start and invest more time

[mild coyote]

fractions and decimals on youtube or khan academy

[quick wharf]

why not both

[mild coyote]

its really just a temporary thing

[quick wharf]

I don't like khan academy videos

[mild coyote]

which math would that be

[quick wharf]

I prefer the organic chemistry tutor

[mild coyote]

do they teach math?

[quick wharf]

but Khan academy website have designed quizzes

tho they're kinda easy

[quick wharf]

yes

[mild coyote]

is it advanced

or what i struggle with

[quick wharf]

he teaches every math you learn in high school

[mild coyote]

ok so more advanced

i cant really do that

ok i worded that wrong

i can do that

but not without prior knowledge

aka

decimals and fractions

[quick wharf]

Math antics I watched when I was 7th grade

[mild coyote]

yes thats what i watched

then brain made it go poof??

[quick wharf]

because you're not in the mood to learn or didn't take notes

[mild coyote]

well do you know what grade on khan academy you learn decimals and fractions?

[quick wharf]

No

[mild coyote]

i was in the mood to learn but i did not take notes

[quick wharf]

I'm too old to relate to you atp

I'm born in 2006

[mild coyote]

im at the point in life where i can barely relate to people before my age, my age, and slightly after, cant relate until they are much older

or

just at the point as a person

[quick wharf]

ppl in #math-help will be happy to teach you if YouTube doesn't work

I can teach it best but don't feel like it

[mild coyote]

i have tried but ill try more tomorrow on that

[quick wharf]

do you know your 1 digit multiplication table fully memorized

[mild coyote]

maybe

[quick wharf]

It's critical

[mild coyote]

i mean

i have a quizlet for that

[quick wharf]

the #1 most important mathematical concept

[mild coyote]

goes up to 12

[quick wharf]

you need to know 1 to 9

[mild coyote]

ok

i know up to 6

[quick wharf]

up to 12 is nice but not worth the effort

[mild coyote]

working on 7-9

its coming along

[quick wharf]

You can't add fractions and a lot of other stuff without knowing the table

[mild coyote]

ok

its getting a lot later

so

to wrap this up

2 more questions

do i need anything more on my notion dashboard

and

[quick wharf]

no

that's way more than I have

I just have a weekly to do list

[mild coyote]

is this the right algebra

[mild coyote]

i do but i dont know what to add this is all i have (as you can see im slacking a little)

[quick wharf]

that's way more complicated than mine

[quick wharf]

yes but you need to know to add and divide franctions

[mild coyote]

i also have these other math ones

[quick wharf]

wouldn't help to know inequalities for now imo

[mild coyote]

that is 4th grade right?

[quick wharf]

Like 6th

[mild coyote]

i searched and its 4th 5th and 6th

just

do this tomorrow i guess

goodnight

[quick wharf]

I should stay away from this server

[mild coyote]

(just need help with finding what grade fractions and decimals are in)

[quick wharf]

I need to grind my novel

[mild coyote]

this too

[inner sleet]

Why?

[inner sleet]

Name?

[mild coyote]

(and mayeb what to add)

[quick wharf]

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

[mild coyote]

well you go do that

[inner sleet]

K

[quick wharf]

it's a Korean original web novel

[mild coyote]

i love that one

[quick wharf]

the manwha? (korean manga)

[mild coyote]

ok its late

[mild coyote]

i dont remember

it was something

ok gopodnight

[quick wharf]

actually torture

[quick wharf]

night

[nocturne thistle]

i need a good laptop for coding and gaming animation and 3d modeling and studying

What do u all recommend

[cloud fern]

Omg is that Read Era

And that's a lot of pages😭

[ancient scarab]

In achidemic decathlon does every have the same projects for the projects?

[storm fjord]

what 3d modeling software do u plan to use

[quick wharf]

yeah

the sepia theme with merriweather font is the best

[cloud fern]

I like the dark mode the best

can someone give advice for highschool im a freshman

[mild coyote]

hi

[mild coyote]

which algebra is correct

which math has decimals and fractions

[mild coyote]

what should i add

[fervent palm]

All math has decimals and fractions. It's more like a tool used to learn other concepts

If you're looking for which lesson looks at fraction/decimal arithmetic specifically, you should focus on converting one type to another to start with

[mild coyote]

well i need to learn how to add them subtract them multiply them divide them convert them into lcm and all the other things

[mild coyote]

i dont know which grade on khan acaeemy that is

[fervent palm]

I'm seeing it as 4th grade or 6th grade

[mild coyote]

also can u answer this and the questions below

[mild coyote]

but i also saw 5th grade

[fervent palm]

You can check out each of them. It's probably spread across multiple chapters

[mild coyote]

so just do all of them and everything related to fractions and decimals

[fervent palm]

Probably best yeah. I would focus on converting between fractions and decimals first, since that's the hardest part of what you're struggling w/

[mild coyote]

okk

[quick wharf]

when studying for a test I allocate 70% or more of the time to my weaknesses

[mild coyote]

how do i find my weaknesses

[quick wharf]

how do you know that you struggle adding fractions?

you learn the hard way

[fervent palm]

Yooo they're back

[mild coyote]

okkk

[mild coyote]

which is right

[quick wharf]

you're gonna learn all this from 8th to 10/11th grade

so I wouldn't say there's really a correct one

I didn't learn functions till 9th grade

[mild coyote]

ok

[quick wharf]

I'd not do inequalities and wait for school to teach you it

[pseudo estuary]

I’m taking chemistry online and I’m having a really hard time finishing it. I love studying for example I’m taking AP Spanish next year and I started in Spanish 1 last year and got through all the years through studying. Any tips for procrastination?

[wicked urchin]

Im just starting my freshman year of highschool and need help setting up my 4 year plan because i have no idea what im doing and my counselors arent much help.

[quick wharf]

if you love studying, why would you procrastinate on fun

do you really love studying?

just force yourself to work for 10mins and maybe you'll be in the zone

[quick wharf]

take 2 sciences and mahbe calculus sometime in your high school life

and anything that's relevant to your major

[wicked urchin]

Thank you!

[quick wharf]

definitely take chem

[pseudo estuary]

I do I struggle with a lot of depression and it’s really hard for me to do the things I love

[wicked urchin]

do you know where i could look to get more personalized help?

[quick wharf]

we're just discord users

so no I don't

your counselor is your best bet unless they can refer you to someone else

[quick wharf]

I never had depression myself. I just suck things up, I'm honestly just a little numb to pain

your depression would the problem wouldn't it? I hope you have good people you're surrounded with

have a nice social life

[wicked urchin]

This was very helpfull. Thank you.

[pseudo estuary]

Yeah

[quick wharf]

You're gonna have to develop good life habits before study ones

like eating well, sleeping well, exercising regularly enough

stay hydrated

smile

I struggle with procrastination just as much as you do

but it works out because my friends can help out and if any consequences result from it, I just gotta take the L

it gets so bad that I have to sacrifice a class to prioritize the other

also online school just has no immersion. Why not take it in real life? @pseudo estuary

it's better for your learning

[pseudo estuary]

I’m graduating early and it’s my final online class and I couldn’t fit it in my schedule

[quick wharf]

Wow you're in an acceleration program?

[pseudo estuary]

Not a program I just did it by myself I took 10 classes freshman and sophomore year

[quick wharf]

my school don't even let me do that

anyway have a good balance of relaxation and tension

you're probably better off talking to someone you trust or maybe your counselor or some kind of frer mental health help your school provide

[pseudo estuary]

It’s weird I like studying Spanish but I hate chemistry and I love math

We don’t have that

[quick wharf]

There's really no real advice I can give. I have classes I really hate but gotta do them anyway

if I fail a class rip $900

and my summer

[pseudo estuary]

Okay well thanks

[quick wharf]

which happened once

anyway

don't let yourself burn

My brother was the gifted kid in my family and he just ended up a corpo slave. He could've enjoyed his youth a little more

[pseudo estuary]

I just want someone to be proud. I’ve put in all this work and no one’s ever told me good job for any of it. I want to be a medical lawyer because I can help people that way.

[quick wharf]

You'll get more fulfillment from helping others than academic success. Just be kind because it's who you are and you choose to be

you have greator purposes than receiving a "I'm proud of you"

[pseudo estuary]

Yeah

[quick wharf]

It really doesn't mean as much as being proud of yourself. They say comparison is the thief of joy

[pseudo estuary]

Yeah it is the thief of joy

[quick wharf]

One day you'll help someone in their time of great need and they'll thank you with the brightest smile you've seen

[pseudo estuary]

Yeah that’s what i want in my life I want to make people smile cause it makes me happy

[quick wharf]

It's good that the smile of others make you smile too

do some extracurriculars you're passionate about if any opportunities presents itself

or you can try to find something idk how

[pseudo estuary]

I do music a lot

I play semi-professionally

It’s fun

Sometimes

[quick wharf]

I hope you're not the band president 💀🙏

[dusk birch]

agreed

[pseudo estuary]

I’m a violinist and singer I’m not in band and I would never take on that horrid job

[quick wharf]

@pseudo estuary go outside at night and just sit on a park bench. It's quite nice

I go out at night to listen to music, text, doomscroll, or read. It's like I was gonna do that inside anyway

[pseudo estuary]

Okay I really do love the park I hang out there a lot

[quick wharf]

so why not take advantage of the summer

[dusk birch]

do you guys think its a good idea to learn how code and become a programmer with ai starting to you know, take over that job

[pseudo estuary]

I’m always at the park actually I hate being indoors

[quick wharf]

this weather is gonna disappear in some months so go out every night if you can if you're not doing anything productive

soo nice

good

[pseudo estuary]

I think so because there are going to be jobs AI can’t do

[dusk birch]

yeah thats what i said too

[quick wharf]

sometimes life gets so stressful that I sleep it off and do my stuff in the EARLY morning. Maybe you can do that for your chem

[quick wharf]

If it's your passion sure

[dusk birch]

is it good that im making a game with my friends and is it possible to use that as a project to get into bca

[pseudo estuary]

That’s a good idea

[dusk birch]

ok ty both of you

[pseudo estuary]

Follow your passions never stop chasing them

[dusk birch]

🔥

[quick wharf]

yeah so I go outside at night for a bit or just relax, shower, sleep, wake up at 4-6am or something

[pseudo estuary]

Yeah that’s smart

[quick wharf]

Works for me, maybe you can give it a shot and let me know how it goes

[pseudo estuary]

Will do

[quick wharf]

I like the depression that comes with reflecting on life past 9pm especially outside

makes the next day a better one hopefully

[dusk birch]

...

thats fair actually

[quick wharf]

you can probably tell a story of it in your uni application

so I'd say so

and you'd be develop coding skills

[dusk birch]

ya

also what grades r u guys going to

[quick wharf]

good luck being employed in the future (im cooked too) 😹🫵

[dusk birch]

just wondering

[quick wharf]

2nd year uni

[dusk birch]

uh 8th

;-;

eh o well

ima finish some code gn

[pseudo estuary]

I’m going into 12th

[mild coyote]

how would i figure out what i am majoring in

[quick wharf]

you just gotta experience stuff and then narrow out what you DON'T like first

I didn't know what I wanted to do until grade 11

I kinda picked my major on a whim to be honest but turns out it was the best!

I really hated biology so no chance I was doing med

I just thought mechanical engineering jobs were cool

electrical is decently coding intensive which I hate

civil too much physical strain

[mild coyote]

i may know what i already want to be

[quick wharf]

then why are you asking if you already know

[mild coyote]

because i dont know if its the right choice

[quick wharf]

😐

You're trying to accomplish too much at a young age

not happening pal

[mild coyote]

i want to prepare

[quick wharf]

for absolutely nothing

school will make you gradually learn skills

just self study a bit of math if you really want. You need to know 1-9 multiplication table for sure

others, school can teach you and you can put more effort into studying

Nothing you do now is influencing your uni application btw

[mild coyote]

what about the first year of highschool

[quick wharf]

maybeee

I'm in Canada so they don't even look at grade 10

I think US does

[mild coyote]

im doing khan academy right now and browsing 4th, 5th, and 6th for decimal and fraction subjects, should I only learn what specifically says decimals and fractions or is there something else related to them?

[quick wharf]

Idk what's related to them

they're just stuff you need to know

I got fluid mechanics next year, I wonder if I should prepare anything

[mild coyote]

i cant decide between which algebra to do

[quick wharf]

left

you don't need to learn inequalities yet

[mild coyote]

then right, after?

[quick wharf]

no need

[mild coyote]

oh why?

[quick wharf]

a lot is the same

if you love learning so much you can just move to the next grade

[mild coyote]

wdym

[quick wharf]

learn grade 9 stuff if grade 8 bores you

[mild coyote]

i would but khan only has math

[quick wharf]

for science you absolutely do not need to prepare anything. Just spend extra time in 10th or 11th grade science since it'll teach a lot of new stuff. Idk your curriculum

[mild coyote]

how would i practice for that?

[quick wharf]

I don't pre study

I wouldn't know

[mild coyote]

should i just practice math?

[quick wharf]

the best thing you can do for yourself to prepare is having good study habits and good life habits

[dusk birch]

yea

[quick wharf]

if you're able to not procrastinate then it'll take you far

[quick wharf]

summer isn't the environment to develop good study habits since you're not in school rn but it is the time to develop good life habits

[quick wharf]

sure

[mild coyote]

like what good life habits and study habits

[mild coyote]

i try not too

this is my to-do list for every day

[quick wharf]

study habits, don't procrastinate and ideally focus on a little of every subject than doing them 1 by 1. I prefer 1 by 1

[dusk birch]

i use pomodoro timers for studying works great

[quick wharf]

0% on read books for 1 hr

[mild coyote]

i added it an hour ago

its 2 am 😭

about to be 3

[quick wharf]

I am the definition of you don't need to be a reader to be a good writer

[dusk birch]

its 4am for me ;-;

[mild coyote]

i struggle with not doing 1 by 1 i always have tried to do finish 1 the best i can and move onto the next

[mild coyote]

i added all 3 at the bottom an hour ago

[dusk birch]

whered you make this

[quick wharf]

me too

[mild coyote]

notion

[dusk birch]

alr

[mild coyote]

its a free template i used

(too lazy)

[quick wharf]

I have a better checklist template than that

[mild coyote]

showw

[quick wharf]

Mine is a weekly checklist where you type stuff into each week as different things happen in different weeks

[mild coyote]

what about the good life habits?

[mild coyote]

can i see

[quick wharf]

https://youtu.be/BhAl5mG0fNw 3:40

it's the exact same with different gifs

[quick wharf]

sleeping late will stunt your growth so how about sleep at a more reasonable time

[mild coyote]

how do i find those

[mild coyote]

i tried but then i got caught up on designing my notion

[quick wharf]

this might sound crazy to you but you can search things up on google

[mild coyote]

at 11:45 specifically

[dusk birch]

uh we dont talk about what time it is rn

[mild coyote]

i also try to get 8-9 hours

[quick wharf]

yeah sleep earlier

at 12

[dusk birch]

isnt 10 or 11 a gud time

[quick wharf]

I sleep quite well throughout my life so I'm taller than both parents and brothers

[quick wharf]

this is best

[mild coyote]

i tried

[dusk birch]

ok gud

[mild coyote]

i would rather sleep at 11:45 before i need to sleep at 9:45 every single day

[quick wharf]

you're not anywhere near that goal

[mild coyote]

waking up at 8 am feels less lonely

[dusk birch]

its kinda hard to go to sleep early when your rushing to make a hotfix

[quick wharf]

it's summer tbf

[dusk birch]

yea

[mild coyote]

which should i download, i was going to download the weekly to-do but i also want to do assignments and fall semester

[quick wharf]

i only use home and weekly to do

nothing else

I did have class notes for semester 1 actually since I had a more English based class

[dusk birch]

uh is this good: https://pomofocus.io/

for studying

[mild coyote]

im not sure wht would be best for me

[quick wharf]

1hr rewarded with 1 anime ep>20mins with a 5mins break imo

[quick wharf]

I'm not sure what would be best for you either

therefore, you experiment

[dusk birch]

trial and error

[quick wharf]

mhm

[mild coyote]

i just realized i have everything build into my original home page

ill just grab the to-do list

[quick wharf]

I liked this entire video

widgets are annoying to add sometimes depends

[mild coyote]

thats the problem for me

[quick wharf]

I so wish I was an 8th grader watching FMAB for the first time again

😩

[mild coyote]

and i still dont know what to watch next

[dusk birch]

uh

[quick wharf]

My #2 anime is 374 eps

[dusk birch]

what is fmab

[mild coyote]

full metal alchemist brotherhood

[quick wharf]

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, the best show of all time

[dusk birch]

o mb

JJK is fire

[quick wharf]

Ehhh

[dusk birch]

lol

[quick wharf]

S2 peak, s1 was good but overrated

[dusk birch]

agreed

[quick wharf]

the manga fell off

[mild coyote]

i watched s1 and forgot season 2 existed because i watched it on hulu

[quick wharf]

piracy on top

NEVER buy textbooks

[mild coyote]

ok i didnt expect the emoji to be named that

anyway

[quick wharf]

why you buynitro 🥀

[mild coyote]

im trying to use your to-do list but i dont actually know how to add stuff

[dusk birch]

dont you have to buy used textbooks cuz cheaper

[quick wharf]

just type it in

[mild coyote]

i odnt kno

[quick wharf]

in an era of piracy, there is no need

[dusk birch]

ah

lol

[mild coyote]

how do i change the pictures

[mild coyote]

didnt you tell me to buy monster

[quick wharf]

click it and change it? You need to change to editing mode

[dusk birch]

uh r u using the template from the video

[quick wharf]

that's manga, not textbook

[dusk birch]

cuz i just right clicked it

[quick wharf]

fictional books I buy to collect

I read manga online first before buying it irl

[mild coyote]

i dont think im doing it right

[quick wharf]

or if Facebook marketplace has a steal deal

[dusk birch]

press replace

[quick wharf]

well I forgot

oh yeah

[dusk birch]

computers fun

[quick wharf]

epic boy be here for the vibe

[dusk birch]

uh ok

[mild coyote]

i wish it would rain near me

[quick wharf]

@mild coyote steins gate is an incredible thriller to add to the watchlist.

[dusk birch]

where is text size

[quick wharf]

If you're looking for something to watch after fmab

[mild coyote]

ok ty

[dusk birch]

ever heard of Solo Leveling

[quick wharf]

I like older anime more than super modern

I haven't seen solo leveling

[mild coyote]

which one

[dusk birch]

tis very fire

[quick wharf]

left then right then right. The movie and OVA are epilogues

steins gate 0 is bad ending continuation

I think steins gate 0 was quite better in visual novel

having a pc allows you to pirate games

[mild coyote]

virus

[dusk birch]

mac pro trashcan for the win

[dusk birch]

fair

[mild coyote]

@quick wharf im looking at the to-do list and i dont have uni, work, club, internship, (and may possibly not have a life)

[quick wharf]

then change that part or delete it

[dusk birch]

me neither

[mild coyote]

not what to make it though

[quick wharf]

just get rid of it then

[mild coyote]

i will only have one thing 😭

[quick wharf]

school

instead of uni

[dusk birch]

schools gonna be empty for a while

[quick wharf]

yeah

Alright back to my novel, any last minute questions

[dusk birch]

yeah

what novel u reading

[mild coyote]

what else

[quick wharf]

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. It's a Korean web novel series. There's a manwha that adapted 40% of the story

[dusk birch]

ill check it out cuz i need to read something different for once

[quick wharf]

Novels always have slow starts. I'm still yet to get past the slog
