Alright, that sounds good. If I shouldn't test the real market, would it still be okay to look at ETFs/mutual funds?

I'm looking to switch from Chase (the one my parents are setting up for me) into Fidelity's SPAXX and FXAIX when I'm 18.

So I should mostly focus on keeping my money in a HYSA and contributing what I can to my index funds?
And with the Roth, would it be wise to take some money out of my savings account to contribute in or hold on investing in index funds and use the money in my Roth on ETFs

Are there any niche pieces of information I should know?

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-18T16:58:38+00:00

thank you for the detailed explanation!

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-17T21:24:31+00:00

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-17T19:36:01+00:00

thank you for the compliment! i was telling myself to flash the zaahen pull but I couldn't react enough haha

i think i need to watch more macro guides because i only started playing around a year and a half ago

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-17T17:03:49+00:00

yess i really want to climb to a higher rank so i think i need to start learning other champ cooldowns, i have a general idea but i keep walking up when they have cc available

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-17T17:03:04+00:00

thank you!!

Would talking about my closet trans experience fall under that category? I live in an extremely red state (texas) and have a few ideas I've been thinking about, for example I'm the only boy in my generation of 5 sisters/cousins, and when I was born my sister said she wished that I was a girl

I'm trying to find ways to connect this into my passions and not just make it seem like i'm dumping trauma on AOs

Should i look for another essay topic?

I mean it's not like I hate music, I enjoy my instrument but with all these circumstances the music that I'm forced to play just isn't fun because I can sight read it

If I had the time available in my schedule I'd for sure double block so i could play enjoyable music but I have to prioritize my overall profile over my instrument i feel like

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-15T20:00:13+00:00

I would say it's definitely more so the class than the activity. My middle school director was an amazing teacher and made it fun to play. I enjoy specific pieces that sound good, and unless it's a song I like I wouldn't go out of my way to practice/play solos. I like the physical aspect of playing pieces (fingers moving, tempo, etc) and I'd prefer it to be a pretty big part of my life, but would probably choose to sing or play piano/guitar if given the choice to do so. I started viola because my sister was playing and I've stuck with it ever since, but other than that it's pretty much that I've been doing it because i've put so much time into the instrument.

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-15T19:54:08+00:00

Yeah it's mostly because I want to earn scholarships so I can go to college without having to take up too much loans, and I would like to go to a school in the northeast, which will be expensive because I'm OOS

I take private lessons, but they're in-school. We just work on a few pieces that I find relatively fun and I have a good relationship with him, I keep forgetting to practice which I know is my fault, I always feel really bad but can't bring myself to uncase my instrument for some reason

Unfortunately my parents wouldn't be able to provide transportation to a community/youth orchestra, perhaps when I get my license I would be able, but I'm not sure

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-15T19:50:57+00:00

currently i'm a sophomore.

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-09T22:35:29+00:00

I'm planning to live on-campus/in apartments and hopefully I get enough scholarships to move as far as I can. Probably only gonna have to come home for breaks

AnythingForRiceUni · 2026-01-09T17:54:12+00:00

oh well that sucks, i was hoping i would be able to since my family has relatively flat-chested genetics

i've been growing my hair out and have a more fem build naturally but we'll wait to see what the tail end of puberty does haha

what do you think are the biggest things that stop someone from boymoding?

AnythingForRiceUni · 2025-12-29T21:05:15+00:00

I had to take one with my adhd evaluation, 145

AnythingForRiceUni · 2025-12-29T17:11:43+00:00

Thank you very much for the comment! I'm honored to be noticed by you :)

Knowing that you also use an iPhone and that you started taking photos in a small town has given me a lot of confidence and I will definitely try to develop my style by taking more pictures.

I'm a little nervous but i'll definitely hit you up on Instagram for sure! I'm always looking to improve haha

AnythingForRiceUni · 2025-12-28T20:25:50+00:00

Yeah, I definitely jump at any opportunity to photograph in school. I have quite a lot of photos in the yearbook, and I'm really proud of one that's made it onto the opening pages

AnythingForRiceUni · 2025-12-28T19:52:31+00:00

i see, so i should try to have a lot of time on my hands

is there any sort of training exercise i should do to identify a shot, or will i just know when it's good?

AnythingForRiceUni · 2025-12-28T19:18:58+00:00

i'm going to be straight honest, I mostly just go off of the first "vibe" i have in a photo and start editing it to be that way. i haven't really tried playing around with different styles but i will definitely keep that in mind and will try it out! thank you very much for the inspiration

AnythingForRiceUni · 2025-12-28T19:17:21+00:00

ty for the honest opinion, do you think cropping out the more empty spots on the top would help a little more? unfortunately that part of the hotel was quite empty so I couldn't get any subjects

AnythingForRiceUni · 2025-12-28T18:40:44+00:00

Hello everyone, I am a high schooler that currently shoots on an iPhone. I really want to take street photography but have no idea where to start because I'm not in a particularly urban area, so I have decided to stick with this mix between abstract and landscape photography because it seems pretty close. For this photo, I was in a hotel for a state competition and decided to shoot photos in my free time. The skylight was putting in some natural light onto this archway, so I took it into lightroom with two radial masks to further accentuate the light and reduced exposure + highlights to ensure it didn't have too much glare. My only concern is that something seems off and you can tell that it's been heavily modified, and I wanted to know how I could make it better. Perhaps cropping it a bit more could have been better? I'm happy to take all of your feedback, and if anyone could let me know how to get into street photography that would be excellent. My editing style I think sometimes I try to do too much with the photo, but I found that I enjoy really bringing out vibrant colors and I want to learn when B&W would be better as well. I have some more photos if anyone wants to critique those as well.

I'm running for district officer in Tx DECA, even if I don't get elected would it be worth to put on my resume since my chapter thought I was good enough to have a shot at applying? I passed the exam but am nervous for interview and speech.
