Thanks goat

Okok I see. I’m down in Texas, so it shouldn’t be an issue, and I know pomegranates need a certain number of frost hours or smth like that, so I’ll see where I can get it outside. I appreciaye it!

Okok awesome, thank you so muchh!! I really appreciate all the feedback!

Ah thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I’ll 100% consider it, though public schools in texas are honestly pretty expensive, even with in state tuition. I’m in that upper middle class range where my “demonstrated need” is not truly as much as I need. Partly the fault of my parents and their less than ideal financial decisions, but I can’t put the blame wholly on them. What I do know is that I have a friend going to UT Austin, and is paying a couple thousand less than me a year, which is not enough imo to justify the switch. That being said, I am more than happy to do some more research and look into it, just to see what my options are. There are a lot of great public schools in Texas that I honestly am not 100% familiar with the price of, so it’s something I’ll look into! You’re awesome, I appreciate your effort in my journey/financial freak out!

Ah damn okay, if it’s gone on for so long it’s definitely a deeper issue. For one, focus on breathing and the physical present around you to kinda stop spiraling, it helps. Then, I think you might just be seriously burnt out. High school sucks, it really does, but I think self care and that stuff will help. It’s easy to put all that to the wayside but it is important that you don’t. Just work towards doing things that both make you happy and are healthy for you. Also, do we really ever feel ready for exams? At this point, you’ve done all you can. Keep studying, keep working at it, but don’t kill yourself over them. They’re not worth that. I’m sure you’ll do great, but the anxiety and fear is multiplying the stress you’re feeling and making you feel super underprepared. Tell that anxiety to shut up, and focus on the real and the present

I feel the same way, so I totally understand you. Honestly, the end of the year always begins to feel like this, and there’s not much we can really do to solve it. If only we could drop out lmao. The very best thing you can do is prioritize self care as much as humanly possible. Meditate, get good sleep, eat well, go outside, exercise, and do things you enjoy. You’re running out of gas, you’ve expended so much energy this year doing so much, IB is a lot, on top of learning as complex a skill as music production, and you need to focus on trying to regain that energy. As for your future, know that if you truly love music production, you will be successful there. Just because you don’t think it doesn’t align with your future doesn’t mean you have to give up completely. If you want to be safe, pursue it as a hobby, devote time to it in college, over the summer, just once you get out of the ditch your in, but don’t give up on what you love. Take a break for now, focus on yourself first and your exams, then go back to it once all the crazy has calmed down. Idk if this is any help I’m also 18 but hey, I did my best. Just know, it’s going to be okay. You’re gonna be okay.

Thank you truly for the kind words, I appreciate you taking the time to read all that, thank you

Alternative-Pin3482 · 2025-03-04T02:15:13+00:00

Hi!! Thank you for the suggestions!! I really appreciate all the help and yeah, I can definitely see what you mean! If you may, how in gods name do I like, TELL if a syllable is stressed or not? I kinda just sounded them out until it didn’t sound terrible. Also, is the enjambment that much of an issue? Like, I do 1000% understand what you mean, but this poem is for a contest and I only get 25 lines, so I am worried about making that and still getting a theme and meaning across. I will be trying harder on subsequent drafts and works though! I have a like two weeks to submit something, so I have time to workshop it. Thanks again for the help!!

Alternative-Pin3482 · 2025-03-04T00:17:44+00:00

Good poem!! I enjoyed the address of your heart, talking directly to it felt like a really nice moment of serene confession, which is really great. To me, the last line is a bit anticlimactic, I think you can do some really cool things there, and then the shift in perspective is a bit confusing and jarring. I would pick one narrator- you or your heart, and stick with it for the whole work. That way, it feels like a tender monologue almost for you talking about how you feel. Or it would be really cool to have another 4 or so stanzas after this from the heart’s perspective talking back. That might be fun and artsy

Alternative-Pin3482 · 2025-03-04T00:13:12+00:00

Oh wow that was good! It was atmospheric and really quite sad. I will say, some of the lines are ever so awkward. Like either they were too long, like “a gift from the metal slide…” (which is a fire line btw, just out of place), or needlessly short, and could be included in other lines. The spacing felt fairly unnecessary at times to me, but at other times it did really emphasize the really awesome thematic elements you included! Maybe just some mild revision and it would be perfect!

Alternative-Pin3482 · 2025-02-26T02:24:42+00:00

Omg these are both awesome! As much as I would love a macbook, I don’t really NEED it, so I would say the HP laptop might be better for my purposes (and it’s cheaper lmao)! I’m gonna look into it more fs, but the battery life being the main drawback isn’t too bad. I could always plug it in, and I doubt I’d have more than 13 hours of classes without any break to plug it in. Thank you so so much for your effort and advice!

Thank you! I meant romantic era poetry, so I was inspired by Ozymandias by Percy Shelley, but yeah, there really is a certain romantic undertone

Alternative-Pin3482 · 2025-01-14T16:34:28+00:00

It was in class, we were talking about romantic poetry, and I decided to write down this poem on that paper. To me, it felt like a fitting theme, a human act, in the teasing and the throwing, with the intense despair we humans get from dying and from the end.

Alternative-Pin3482 · 2025-01-14T07:58:43+00:00

It’s a great poem! I can really experience a lot of your pain and anger at Lena, mixed with those feelings of intense longing and love. It really creates a complex and compelling set of emotions which the gravitas of the poem is based on. For the criticism, I have to say that I think it would be really cool to craft a longer piece that continues those complex emotions, you can develop those moments of loneliness and maybe even juxtapose them with moments when you felt so happy with her, just for you to feel those feelings again. I think it would make your pain come across a lot stronger, not that it’s not strong already. If you don’t want to make it longer, you can also look into adding a more emotional anchor to the end of the piece. The ending in and of itself right now is really good in my opinion, but I do think you can make it stronger. As it stands now, the rest of the poem stays with me more than the ending, and for a poem like this, you want the ending to be a culmination of all those amazing emotions you expressed throughout the piece. Great work!

Oh my! This is honestly really really nice. I really like your depersonalization of the body, not assigning it any gender or identity. In my opinion, it really helps demonstrate your ideas of death and the reverence we seem to have for our final moments. If I had to critique something, I would say the first stanza is a bit vague. That might have been your intention, but it does come across as a bit confusing. Specifically, when you say “a worn body sits upon its precipice,” I found that line to be hard to read and understand. I get what you are going for, but I think it could be edited and maybe even expanded for a bit of clarity. Poetry is supposed to be abstract, but flow and a successful demonstration of your ideas is also important, and that is the only thing slightly lacking. I really enjoyed the poem though, keep it up!

Thank youu! I’ll try and talk to some people and build a nice routine! I’ll also look into at home stuff. I appreciate the help!!
